From density functional theory to defect level in silicon: Does the "band gap problem" matter?
05 Jun 2009 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Peter A. Schultz
Modeling the electrical effects of radiation damage in semiconductor devices requires
detailed description of the properties of point defects generated during and subsequent
irradiation. Such modeling requires physical parameters, such as defect electronic levels,
to describe carrier …

Gas Damping of Microcantilevers at Low Ambient Pressures
05 Jun 2009 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Rahul Anil Bidkar
This seminar will present a theoretical model for predicting the gas damping of long, rectangular silicon microcantilevers, which are oscillating in an unbounded gaseous medium with the ambient pressures varying over 5 orders of magnitude (1000 > Kn > 0.03). The work is the result of a …

Experiences with nonintrusive polynomial Chaos and stochastic collocation methods for uncertainty analysis and design
05 Jun 2009 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Michael S. Eldred
Non—intrusive polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) and stochastic collocation (SC) methods are attractive techniques for uncertainty quantification due to their abilities to produce functional representations of stochastic variability and to achieve exponential convergence rates in statistics of …

Nanotribology, Nanomechanics and Materials Characterization Studies
05 Jun 2009 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Bharat Bhushan
At most solid‐solid interfaces of technological relevance, contact occurs at numerous asperities. A sharp atomic/friction force microscope (AFM/FFM) tip sliding on a surface simulates just one such contact. However, asperities come in all shapes and sizes which can be simulated using tips of …
