It is well known that deterministic two-dimensional marine ice sheets can only be stable if the grounding line is positioned at a sufficiently steep, downward sloping bedrock. When bedrock conditions favour instabilities, multiple stable ice sheet profiles may occur. Here, we employ continuation techniques to examine the sensitivity of a two-dimensional marine ice sheet to stochastic noise representing short time scale variability, either in the accumulation rate or in the sea level height. We find that in unique regimes, the position of the grounding line is most sensitive to noise in the accumulation rate and can explain excursions observed in field measurements. In the multiple equilibrium regime, there is a strong asymmetry in transition probabilities between the different ice sheet states, with a strong preference to switch to the branch with a steeper bedrock slope.

In molecular simulations, the dominant portion of the computational cost is associated with force field calculations. Herein, we extend the approach used to approximate long range gravitational force and the associated moment in spacecraft dynamics to the coulomb forces present in coarse grained biopolymer simulations. We approximate the resultant force and moment for long-range particle-body and body-body interactions due to the electrostatic force field. The resultant moment approximated here is due to the fact that the net force does not necessarily act through the center of mass of the body (pseudoatom). This moment is considered in multibody-based coarse grain simulations while neglected in bead models which use particle dynamics to address the dynamics of the system. A novel binary divide and conquer algorithm (BDCA) is presented to implement the force field approximation. The proposed algorithm is implemented by considering each rigid/flexible domain as a node of the leaf level of the binary tree. This substructuring strategy is well suited to coarse grain simulations of chain biopolymers using an articulated multibody approach.

The one-dimensional projection (ODP) approach is extended to two-dimensional umbrella sampling (TDUS) and is applied to three different complex systems in combination with a reactive force field (ReaxFF).

The lack of agreement between magnetotelluric field measurements and the calculations based on essentially two‐dimensional models with either anisotropy or lateral inhomogeneity necessitates a more complex model of the earth than has been previously considered. The Galerkin finite‐element method is applied to a two‐dimensional structure with a tensor conductivity. The importance of considering conductivity as a tensor is illustrated by a model consisting of an anisotropic, conducting dike embedded in an anisotropic half‐space. This model can be distinguished from an isotropic model by the nonvanishing diagonal elements of the impedance tensor, the ellipticity indices, and the skew.

Electronically active dopant profiles of epitaxially grownn-type 4H-SiC calibration layer structures with concentrations ranging from 3.1015cm-3to 1·1019cm-3have been investigated by non-contact Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) methods. We have shown that Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) and Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) are capable of resolving two-dimensional carrier maps in the low doping concentration regime with nanoscale spatial resolution. Furthermore, different information depths of this wide band gap semiconductor material could be assessed due to the inherent properties of each profiling method. We additionally observed a resolution enhancement under laser illumination which we explain by reduced band-bending conditions. To gauge our SPM signals, we utilized epitaxially grown layers which were calibrated, in terms of dopant concentration, byC-Vmeasurements.
