  2. Crystallographic defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_defect

    An example is the Stone Wales defect in nanotubes, which consists of two adjacent 5-membered and two 7-membered atom rings. Schematic illustration of defects in a compound solid, using GaAs as an example. Amorphous solids may contain defects. These are naturally somewhat hard to define, but sometimes their nature can be quite easily understood.

  3. Crystal twinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_twinning

    Although the criterion for deformation twin growth is not entirely understood, it is a tip-controlled phenomenon linked to the interaction between the residual and mobile twin partials at the twin interface; thermodynamically, this involves the elastic energy of the strained lattice, the interface and volume free-energy of the twin, and the ...

  4. Grain boundary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_boundary

    Low-angle boundaries, where the distortion is entirely accommodated by dislocations, are Σ1. Some other low-Σ boundaries have special properties, especially when the boundary plane is one that contains a high density of coincident sites. Examples include coherent twin boundaries (e.g., Σ3) and high-mobility boundaries in FCC materials (e.g ...

  5. Method of images - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_images

    The method of images (or method of mirror images) is a mathematical tool for solving differential equations, in which boundary conditions are satisfied by combining a solution not restricted by the boundary conditions with its possibly weighted mirror image. Generally, original singularities are inside the domain of interest but the function is ...

  6. Eddy-current testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy-current_testing

    Variations in the electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability of the test object, and the presence of defects causes a change in eddy current and a corresponding change in phase and amplitude that can be detected by measuring the impedance changes in the coil, which is a telltale sign of the presence of defects. [5]

  7. Perfectly matched layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfectly_matched_layer

    The striped borders correspond to perfectly matched layers, which are used to simulate open boundaries by absorbing the outgoing waves. A perfectly matched layer ( PML ) is an artificial absorbing layer for wave equations , commonly used to truncate computational regions in numerical methods to simulate problems with open boundaries, especially ...

  8. Local outlier factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_outlier_factor

    Local outlier detection reconsidered: a generalized view on locality with applications to spatial, video, and network outlier detection [4] discusses the general pattern in various local outlier detection methods (including, e.g., LOF, a simplified version of LOF and LoOP) and abstracts from this into a general framework. This framework is then ...
