A Novel Design Approach to Flatness-Based Feedback Boundary Control of Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion Systems with Distributed Parameters
Differential flatness has proven to be a very powerful approach for analysis and design of open-loop and stabilizing feedback tracking control for...

On the Steady-State Behavior of Forced Nonlinear Systems
The purpose of this paper is to discuss certain aspects of the asymptotic behavior of finite-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems modeled by...

6 Stepwise Inflation of a Balloon
When we inflate a balloon in the usual manner, namely by blowing air into it by mouth, we first inhale deeply by expanding our lungs. After that we...

9 Stability of the Spherical Shape
Ever so often we observe that a balloon, which is spherical in the undistorted state, becomes elongated upon inflation so that we obtain a...

Evolution of the Internet Topology and Traffic Dynamics of Data Packets
In recent years, the Internet has become one of the most influential media in our daily life, going beyond in its role as the basic infrastructure in...

Ion Microscopy on Diamond
Because of its physical properties (strong radiation hardness, wide energy gap with a consequent extremely low dark current, very large electron and...

Laser Ablation-Deposited CN x Thin Films
Amorphous CN x thin films were deposited at room temperature by pulsed laser ablation of graphite targets in a...

Defects in CVD Diamond Films from Their Response as Nuclear Detectors
CVD diamond films can be used to realize nuclear detectors with outstanding working capability in harsh environments. Since efficient particle...

Sol-Gel Approaches to Photonic Crystal Systems
A prerequisite for an efficient ”molding the flow of light” by photonic crystals is the molding of materials in desired nanostructures. Very often,...

6 Stochastic Passivity
Passivity of deterministic linear systems plays an important role in network theory and in adaptive control. The fact that a system is passive...

4 Continuous-time Systems: Tracking Control
In this chapter we treat the problem of H∞ tracking with stochastic multiplicative white noise. We extend the work of [98], which does not involve...

Raman Spectroscopy and Optical Properties of Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon Films
The Raman spectroscopy and optical characterization of amorphous hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon films is described. The samples were prepared by...

The Role of Interstitial Mn in GaAs-Based Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors
Ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As continues to be the subject of intense research due to the interesting physical properties and possible spin-electronics...
-
Exchange Interactions and Magnetic Percolation in Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors
We propose a theory that combines first-principles evaluations of interatomic exchange interactions with a classical Heisenberg model and Monte Carlo...
-
Thermodynamics – Past, Present and Future
We begin with historical remarks on the basic contributions to thermodynamics and statistics with some bias to scientists working in Berlin as...

Intrinsic Spin Hall Effect
A brief review is given on a spin Hall effect, where an external electric field induces a transverse spin current. It has been recognized over 30...

Dynamical Variational Principles for Strongly Correlated Electron Systems
The self-energy-functional approach (SFA) is discussed in the context of different variational principles for strongly correlated electron systems....
