In this work, we report on the theoretical calculations of the temperature dependence of magnetization in Ni2MnGa alloy by Monte Carlo simulation. The calculations have been carried out for the single crystal and polycrystalline structures with 16, 32 and 64 magnetic domains. The theoretically calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Hunter (1977) found that a Monte-Carlo simulation of electron swarms in hydrogen, based on an isotropic scattering model, produced discrepancies between the predicted and measured electron transport parameters. The present paper shows that, with an anisotropic scattering model, good agreement is obtained between the predicted and experimental data. The simulation code is used here to calculate various parameters which are not directly measurable.

A Monte Carlo simulation program was developed to calculate the variations of the channeled to random electronic stopping powers of He + in an energy 4 MeV in silicon single crystal along the major 〈100〉, 〈110〉 and 〈111〉 axes. This paper discusses both simulation and experimental results that shed light on the contribution of these factors. Results obtained by our simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results.

The magnetic properties of zigzag metallic chains have been calculated based on the Monte Carlo simulation. The reduced transition temperatures and the magnetization have been obtained for different exchange interactions and for different crystal fields. The hysteresis cycle is obtained for different exchange interactions, temperatures and crystal field. The superparamagnetic behavior is obtained for a specific value of temperatures and crystal field. The second-order phase transitions are also observed. The obtained results are comparable with some given by experiment results and theoretical calculations.

In this work, we develop and calibrate a model to represent the trajectory of a badminton shuttlecock and use it to investigate the influence of serve height in view of a new serve rule instated by the Badminton World Federation. The new rule means that all players must launch the shuttlecock below a height of 1.15 m, as opposed to the old rule whereby the required launch height was under the rib cage of the server. The model is based on a forward dynamics model of ballistic trajectory with drag, and it is calibrated with experimental data. The experiments also served to determine the actual influence of the new rule on the shuttlecock launch position. The model is used in a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the statistical influence of the new serve rules on the player’s ability to perform good serves; i.e., serves with little opportunity for the receiver to attack. We conclude that, for the female player in question, serving below a height of 1.15 m makes it marginally more difficult to perform excellent serves. We also conclude that there might be alternative launch positions that would be less likely to produce the best serves but could be exploited as a tactical option.

AbstractIn electron probe microanalysis or scanning electron microscopy, the Monte Carlo method is widely used for modeling electron transport within specimens and calculating X-ray spectra. For an accurate simulation, the calculation of secondary fluorescence (SF) is necessary, especially for samples with complex geometries. In this study, we developed a program, using a hybrid model that combines the Monte Carlo simulation with an analytical model, to perform SF correction for three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous materials. The Monte Carlo simulation is performed using MC X-ray, a Monte Carlo program, to obtain the 3D primary X-ray distribution, which becomes the input of the analytical model. The voxel-based calculation of MC X-ray enables the model to be applicable to arbitrary samples. We demonstrate the derivation of the analytical model in detail and present the 3D X-ray distributions for both primary and secondary fluorescence to illustrate the capability of our program. Examples for non-diffusion couples and spherical inclusions inside matrices are shown. The results of our program are compared with experimental data from references and with results from other Monte Carlo codes. They are found to be in good agreement.
