Analysis of issues related to the cracking process of materials requires a quantitative description of the problem which frequently, due to its complexity, is difficult or impossible to solve. In a number of cases, the deficiencies of a quantitative description made using classical methods are compensated for by such unconventional tools as percolation, which requires creating an appropriate model. The aim of the study was to use a three-dimensional minimal spanning tree (3DMST) to create a model of the crack path, based on an example of a metallic biomaterial. For this purpose, a stereometric file, obtained as a result of measuring its fracture surface, was applied.

The three-dimensional electron-gas model has been a major focus for many-body theory applied to the electronic properties of metals and semiconductors. Because the model neglects band effects, whereas electronic systems are generally more strongly correlated in narrow band systems, it is most widely used to describe the qualitative physics of weakly correlated metals with unambiguous Fermi liquid properties. The model is more interesting in two space dimensions because it provides a quantitative description of electrons in quantum wells and because these can form strongly correlated many-particle states. We illustrate the range of possible many-particle behaviors by discussing the way correlations are manifested in 2D tunneling spectroscopy experiments.

AbstractWe present some geometric applications, of global character, of the bubbling analysis developed by Buzano and Sharp for closed minimal surfaces, obtaining smooth multiplicity one convergence results under upper bounds on the Morse index and suitable lower bounds on either the genus or the area. For instance, we show that given any Riemannian metric of positive scalar curvature on the three-dimensional sphere the class of embedded minimal surfaces of index one and genus $$\gamma $$ γ is sequentially compact for any $$\gamma \ge 1$$ γ ≥ 1 . Furthemore, we give a quantitative description of how the genus drops as a sequence of minimal surfaces converges smoothly, with mutiplicity $$m\ge 1$$ m ≥ 1 , away from finitely many points where curvature concentration may happen. This result exploits a sharp estimate on the multiplicity of convergence in terms of the number of ends of the bubbles that appear in the process.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations and vibrational spectroscopy calculations are performed using halide-water many-body potential energy functions to provide a bottom-up analysis of the structures, energetics, and hydrogen-bonding arrangements in X−(H2O)n=3−6 clusters, with X = F, Cl, Br, and I. Independently of the cluster size, it is found that all four halides prefer surface-type structures in which they occupy one of the vertices in the underlying three-dimensional hydrogen-bond networks. For fluoride-water clusters, this is in contrast with previous reports suggesting that fluoride prefers interior-type arrangements, where the ion is fully hydrated. These differences can be ascribed to the variability in how various molecular models are capable to reproduce the subtle interplay between halide-water and water-water interactions. Our results thus emphasize the importance of a correct representation of individual many-body contributions to the molecular interactions for a quantitative description of halide ion hydration. </p> </div> </div> </div>

Ion transport across the membrane of the living cell (molecular ion channels) is a critical process, e.g., the triggering of nerve cells and heart muscle cells is coupled with mechanisms controlled by ion diffusion (electrodiffusion). Although the process is described by the century old Nernst- Planck-Poisson system of equations, it is not well understood and a clear understanding of how the interaction between channel and ions affects the flow is still missing. We present a three-dimensional model of the molecular channel. An appropriate quantitative description of the ion transport process allows proper explanation of molecule channel interactions (e.g. the ions flow for a given concentration gradient should depend on the potential and other parameters describing the interaction, i.e. asymmetric transport). We show the simulation of the stationary electrodiffusion in the ion channel showing radial symmetry.
