  2. 1. Semi Markov chain Monte Carlo

    Author : Håkan Ljung; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics; Adaptive simulation; error-in-the-variables; Kullback-Leibler divergence; Markov chain simulation; Markov chain Monte Carlo; semi-regenerative; MATEMATIK; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : The first paper introduces a new simulation technique, called semi Markov chain Monte Carlo, suitable for estimating the expectation of a fixed function over a distribution π, Eπf(χ). Given a Markov chain with stationary distribution p, for example a Markov chain corresponding to a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, an embedded Markov renewal process is used to divide the trajectory into different parts.

  5. 3. Initial Oxidation Kinetics of Al(111): A Monte Carlo Study

    Author : Dogan Ergun Oner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; oxide nucleation and growth; dissociative adsorption; metal oxidation; Monte Carlo simulations; Al 111 ; kinetics; aluminium; surface oxidation;

    Abstract : Almost all metals around us have a thin oxide layer on top of the bulk metal underneath. Often this oxide film protects the metal against further oxidation, or corrosion. Examples are the oxide film that makes stainless steel "stain-less" or the ones on titanium and aluminium alloys, which are very corrosion resistant. READ MORE

  6. 4. Monte Carlo Simulations of Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Transport in Silicon Carbide

    Author : Mats Hjelm; KTH; []
    Keywords : simulation; Monte Carlo; SiC; charge transport; MOSFET; MESFET;

    Abstract : The importance of simulation is increasing in the researchon semiconductor devices and materials. Simulations are used toexplore the characteristics of novel devices as well asproperties of the semiconductor materials that are underinvestigation, i.e. generally materials where the knowledge isinsufficient.

  7. 5. Monte Carlo particle transport codes for ion beam therapy treatment planning : Validation, development and applications

    Author : Till Tobias Böhlen; Irena Gudowska; Oliver Jäkel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Monte Carlo; ion beam therapy; treatment planning; cancer therapy; microdosimetry; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Abstract : External radiotherapy with proton and ion beams needs accurate tools for the dosimetric characterization of treatment fields. Monte Carlo (MC) particle transport codes, such as FLUKA and GEANT4, can be a valuable method to increase accuracy of dose calculations and to support various aspects of ion beam therapy (IBT), such as treatment planning and monitoring.
