Fault-tolerant Hamiltonian laceability of Cayley graphs generated by transposition trees
AbstractA bipartite graph is Hamiltonian laceable if there exists a Hamiltonian path joining every pair of vertices that are in different parts of the graph. It is well known that Cay(Sn,B) is Hamiltonian laceable, where Sn is the symmetric group on {1,2,âŠ,n} and B is a generating set consisting of transpositions of Sn. In this paper, we show that for any FâE(Cay(Sn,B)), if |F|â€nâ3 and nâ„4, then there exists a Hamiltonian path in Cay(Sn,B)âF joining every pair of vertices that are in different parts of the graph. The result is optimal with respect to the number of edge faults

Tuning the Magnetism in Ultrathin CrxTey Films by Lattice Dimensionality
Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic transition metal compounds with atomic
thickness exhibit intriguing physics in fundamental research and great
potential for device applications. Understanding the correlations between their
macrosopic magnetic properties and the dimensionality of microscopic magnetic
exchange interactions are valuable for the designing and applications of 2D
magnetic crystals. Here, using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy,
magnetization and magneto-transport measurements, we identify the
zigzag-antiferromagnetism in monolayer CrTe2, incipient ferromagnetism in
bilayer CrTe2, and robust ferromagnetism in bilayer Cr3Te4 films. Our density
functional theory calculations unravel that the magnetic ordering in ultrathin
CrTe2 is sensitive to the lattice parameters, while robust ferromagnetism with
large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Cr3Te4 is stabilized through its
anisotropic 3D magnetic exchange interactions
Application of CCG Sensors to a High-Temperature Structure Subjected to Thermo-Mechanical Load
This paper presents a simple methodology to perform a high temperature coupled thermo-mechanical test using ultra-high temperature ceramic material specimens (UHTCs), which are equipped with chemical composition gratings sensors (CCGs). The methodology also considers the presence of coupled loading within the response provided by the CCG sensors. The theoretical strain of the UHTCs specimens calculated with this technique shows a maximum relative error of 2.15% between the analytical and experimental data. To further verify the validity of the results from the tests, a Finite Element (FE) model has been developed to simulate the temperature, stress and strain fields within the UHTC structure equipped with the CCG. The results show that the compressive stress exceeds the material strength at the bonding area, and this originates a failure by fracture of the supporting structure in the hot environment. The results related to the strain fields show that the relative error with the experimental data decrease with an increase of temperature. The relative error is less than 15% when the temperature is higher than 200 °C, and only 6.71% at 695 °C
