Vanadium dioxide (VO2) features a pronounced, thermally-driven metal-to-insulator transition at 340 K. Employing epitaxial stress on rutile TiO2(001) substrates, the transition can be tuned to occur close to room temperature. Striving for applications in oxide-electronic devices, the lateral homogeneity of such samples must be considered as an important prerequisite for efforts towards miniaturization. Moreover, the preparation of smooth surfaces is crucial for vertically stacked devices and, hence, the design of functional interfaces. Here, the surface morphology of VO2/TiO2(001) films was analyzed by low-energy electron microscopy and diffraction as well as scanning probe microscopy. The formation of large terraces could be achieved under temperature-induced annealing, but also the occurrence of facets was observed and characterized. Further, we report on quasi-periodic arrangements of crack defects which evolve due to thermal stress under cooling. While these might impair some applicational endeavours, they may also present crystallographically well-oriented nano-templates of bulk-like properties for advanced approaches.
Preface

Um den gesamten Energiebedarf für die Herstellung von Produkten zu erfassen, wird exemplarisch das Werkzeugmaschinenlabor der BTU C-S mit aktueller Messtechnik ausgestattet. Diese ermöglicht auch, mögliche Beeinflussungen der Maschinen untereinander sichtbar zu machen. Bei der Ausrüstung von Werkzeugmaschinen mit LED Beleuchtung sind Besonderheiten zu beachten.
The stochastic One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model is used in combination with a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach in order to illustrate the potential of the fully coupled model (ODTLES) for highly turbulent flows. In this work, we use a new C++ implementation of the ODTLES code in order to analyze the computational performance in a classical incompressible turbulent channel flow problem. The parallelization potential of the model, as well as its physical and numerical consistency are evaluated and compared to Direct Numerical Simulations (DNSs). The numerical results show that the model is capable of reproducing a representative part of the DNS data at a cheaper computational cost. This advantage can be enhanced in the future by the implementation of a straightforward parallelization approach.
Die Ausrüstung des Labores mit computergestützter Messdatenerfassung sowie -analyse ermöglicht es, die Energiebedarfe der einzelnen, vor allem energieintensiven Maschinen darzustellen und ihre Auswirkung auf die Energieversorgung des Labors bzw. des örtlichen Netzes sichtbar zu machen. Die im Zuge der Energieeinsparung oft durch LED Leuchtmittel erneuerte Arbeitsplatzbeleuchtung zeigte bei den Energiemessungen eine hohe Blindleistung. Sofern diese Blindleistung z.b. durch Kondensator-Netzteile verursacht wird, kann sie zur Kompensation induktiver Blindleistung aus elektromotorischen Antrieben, wie sie typisch sind für Werkzeugmaschinen, genutzt werden.
Recently, it was shown that patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who exhibit an “Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like” pattern of brain atrophy are at greater risk for future cognitive decline. This study aimed to investigate whether this association is domain-specific and whether atrophy associated with brain aging also relates to cognitive impairment in PD. SPARE-AD, an MRI index capturing AD-like atrophy, and atrophy-based estimates of brain age were computed from longitudinal structural imaging data of 178 PD patients and 84 healthy subjects from the LANDSCAPE cohort. All patients underwent an extensive neuropsychological test battery. Patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or dementia were found to have higher SPARE-AD scores as compared to patients with normal cognition and healthy controls. All patient groups showed increased brain age. SPARE-AD predicted impairment in memory, language and executive functions, whereas advanced brain age was associated with deficits in attention and working memory. Data suggest that SPARE-AD and brain age are differentially related to domain-specific cognitive decline in PD. The underlying pathomechanisms remain to be determined.
