Magnetised Transport and Instability in Laser Produced Plasmas
Creators: name: Bissell, John Joseph
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Classical transport theory predicts strong coupling between thermal transport and magnetic field dynamics in laser produced plasmas; for example, fields are carried with the thermal flux, via the Nernst effect, while simultaneously deflecting it, giving rise to a Righi-Leduc heat-flow. Coupling between these effects is shown here to drive a new kind of instability-the magnetothermal instability-which is described in detail for the first time. A linear perturbation theory is derived in the absence of density gradients and hydrodynamical effects, and yields unstable solutions which propagate as magnetothermal waves. The theory is compared with full non-linear simulation in the context of a recent nanosecond gas-jet experiment and found to be in good agreement; exhibiting typical growth-rates and characteristic wavelengths of order 10ns-1 and 50µ m respectively. Further incorporation of density gradients and hydrodynamics into the magnetothermal stability analysis is shown to introduce the well-known field generating thermal instability source term, which can either complement or counteract the magnetothermal mechanism. Inequalities for predicting the dominance of each process are given: of the two, the magnetothermal mechanism is found to represent the main-and sometimes only-source of unstable feedback for the conditions considered here. Using super-Gaussian transport theory, the implications of inverse-bremmstrahlung heating for transport in laser-plasmas are also explored. Super-Gaussian modifications are shown to suppress a number of classical processes, by up to ~90% in some cases, while simultaneously introducing new effects, such as advection of magnetic field up density gradients. The combined consequences of these modifications are considered for the field generating thermal instability, and super-Gaussian effects are found to reduce growthrates by [greater than or similar to] 80% compared to predictions from classical transport theory under inertial confinement fusion conditions. The development of a unique code CTC, written to assist the exploration of both classical and super-Gaussian transport phenomena, and the new magnetothermal instability, is also described.
The relationship of alcohol to blood pressure: The INTERMAP Study
Creators: name: Chan, Queenie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Adverse blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The World Health Organisation Global Burden of Disease Comparative Risk Analysis study (2000) reported that regular consumption of alcohol elevated BP and attributed 16% of all hypertensive disease worldwide to alcohol. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a positive relationship between heavy alcohol use and high BP, but few studies have directly addressed the role of drinking patterns, type of alcoholic beverages, nutrient intakes, foods and urinary metabolites. The International Collaborative Study of Macro-/Micro-nutrients and Blood Pressure (INTERMAP) is a cross-sectional epidemiological study designed to investigate the role of macro and micronutrients in the aetiology of adverse BP patterns in populations. This report investigates the relationship of alcohol consumption and BP in 4,680 men and women aged 40 to 59 years from 17 population samples in Japan, People's Republic of China, United Kingdom and the United States, using data including macro-/micro-nutrients from four 24-hour dietary recalls, two 7-day alcohol records, urinary electrolytes and urinary metabolites from two timed 24-hour urine collections, together with socioeconomic data. Specific aims include investigation of the relationship between BP and alcohol drinking patterns and type of alcoholic beverage; the relationship between alcohol intake and other nutrients, the role of nutrient pattern and foods of non-drinker (teetotallers and ex-drinkers) and drinkers (moderate and heavy drinkers) and their BP; the difference in urinary amino acid excretion among non-drinkers and current drinkers; identify urinary metabolites detected by nuclear magnetic resonance in relation to different alcohol intake levels and alcohol drinking pattern; use of INTERMAP data to explore country/population differences in alcohol metabolism. Findings from the INTERMAP Study show that the harmful effect of alcohol intake on blood pressure is related particularly to the quantity of alcohol consumed (average intake per day), not drinking pattern or type of beverage.
Analysis of Blood Flow in Patient-specific Models of Type B Aortic Dissection
Creators: name: Cheng, Zhuo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Aortic dissection is the most common acute catastrophic event affecting the aorta. The majority of patients presenting with an uncomplicated type B dissection are treated medically, but 25% of these patients develop subsequent dilatation and aortic aneurysm formation. The reasons behind the long‐term outcomes of type B aortic dissection are poorly understood. As haemodynamic factors have been involved in the development and progression of a variety of cardiovascular diseases, the flow phenomena and environment in patient‐specific models of type B aortic dissection have been studied in this thesis by applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to in vivo data. The present study aims to gain more detailed knowledge of the links between morphology, flow characteristics and clinical outcomes in type B dissection patients. The thesis includes two parts of patient‐specific study: a multiple case cross‐sectional study and a single case longitudinal study. The multiple cases study involved a group of ten patients with classic type B aortic dissection with a focus on examining the flow characteristics as well as the role of morphological factors in determining the flow patterns and haemodynamic parameters. The single case study was based on a series of follow‐up scans of a patient who has a stable dissection, with an aim to identify the specified haemodynamic factors that are associated with the progression of aortic dissection. Both studies were carried out based on computed tomography images acquired from the patients. 4D Phase‐contrast magnetic resonance imaging was performed on a typical type B aortic dissection patient to provide detailed flow data for validation purpose. This was achieved by qualitative and quantitative comparisons of velocity‐encoded images with simulation results of the CFD model. The analysis of simulation results, including velocity, wall shear stress and turbulence intensity profiles, demonstrates certain correlations between the morphological features and haemodynamic factors, and also their effects on long‐term outcomes of type B aortic dissections. The simulation results were in good agreement with in vivo MR flow data in the patient‐specific validation case, giving credence to the application of the computational model to the study of flow conditions in aortic dissection. This study made an important contribution by identifying the role of certain morphological and haemodynamic factors in the development of type B aortic dissection, which may help provide a better guideline to assist surgeons in choosing optimal treatment protocol for individual patient.

Molecular mechanisms of myopathies
Creators: name: Memo, Massimiliano
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: This study was aimed at the investigation of the mechanisms by which mutations on proteins of the thin filaments could lead to cardiac and skeletal muscle diseases. The contractile properties of reconstituted thin filaments were assessed using the quantitative in vitro motility assay. The cardiac disease investigated was the dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Pilot work on 2 mutants indicated that, contrarily to what was believed in the past, the molecular phenotype generated by mutations on thin filament proteins linked to the disease was not a reduced absolute Ca2+-sensitivity and cross-bridge turnover rate, but an uncoupling between the phosphorylation level of troponin I and the Ca2+-sensitivity. In this thesis I will present the confirmation of the hypothesis with 7 DCM causing mutations. At least one mutation on each of the thin filaments subunits was tested and they all shared that molecular phenotype despite differences in the absolute Ca2+- sensitivity. Mutations on β- and γ-tropomyosin linked to 3 skeletal muscle diseases, Nemaline myopathy, Cap disease and congenital fibre type disproportion (CFTD), were taken into consideration. Some of these mutations were also reported to cause more than one of these diseases. The β-tropomyosin mutations indicated that there is not a clear correlation between molecular phenotype and disease, as different modifications of the contractile properties seem to lead to the same disease. One of the β-tropomyosin mutations (ΔK7), though, as another mutation on skeletal actin (K326N) that was investigated, showed a new hypercontractile phenotype connected to a gain-offunction molecular phenotype, which led to a change in the clinical diagnosis. The experiments performed with the γ-tropomyosin mutants encountered many technical issues but indicated that a common phenotype of decreased Ca2+-sensitivity might be connected to CFTD, observation supported also by a β-tropomyosin mutant connected only to that disease.

description: Varying temperatures influence the figure errors of freeform metal mirrors by thermal expansion. Furthermore, different materials lead to thermo-elastic bending effects. The article presents a derivation of a compensation approach for general static loads. Utilizing perturbation theory this approach works for shape compensation of substrates which operate in various temperature environments. Verification is made using a finite element analysis which is further used to produce manufacturable CAD models. The remaining low spatial frequency errors are deterministically correctable using diamond turning or polishing techniques.

description: Glioma is the most common brain tumor with poor prognosis all over the world. Anesthetics have been demonstrated to have important impacts on cell migration and invasion in different cancers. However, the underlying mechanism that allows anesthetics-mediated progression of glioma cells remains elusive. Sevoflurane (Sev), a class of common anesthetics, was used to expose to U87-MG and U251 cells. The expressions of microRNA-146b-5p (miR-146b-5p) and matrix metallopeptidase 16 (MMP16)were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot. Transfection was performed in glioma cells with miR-146b-5p inhibitor, inhibitor negative control, MMP16 overexpression vector, empty vector, small interfering RNA against MMP16 or scramble. Cell migration and invasion were analyzed by the trans-well assay. The interaction between miR-146b-5p and MMP16 was explored by luciferase activity and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Sev treatment inhibited migration and invasion of glioma cells. The expression of miR-146b-5p was enhanced and MMP16 protein was decreased in glioma cells after exposure of Sev. Knockdown of miR-146b-5p or overexpression of MMP16 reversed Sev-induced inhibition of migration and invasion of glioma cells. Moreover, MMP16 was indicated as a target of miR-146b-5p and its silencing attenuated the regulatory role of miR-146b-5p abrogationin Sev-treated glioma cells. Sev impeded cell migration and invasion through regulating miR-146b-5p and MMP16 in glioma, indicating a novel theories foundation for the application of anesthetics like Sev in glioma.

description: Predictive modeling is invaded by elastic, yet complex methods such as neural networks or ensembles (model stacking, boosting or bagging). Such methods are usually described by a large number of parameters or hyper parameters - a price that one needs to pay for elasticity. The very number of parameters makes models hard to understand. This paper describes a consistent collection of explainers for predictive models, a.k.a. black boxes. Each explainer is a technique for exploration of a black box model. Presented approaches are model-agnostic, what means that they extract useful information from any predictive method despite its internal structure. Each explainer is linked with a specific aspect of a model. Some are useful in decomposing predictions, some serve better in understanding performance, while others are useful in understanding importance and conditional responses of a particular variable. Every explainer presented in this paper works for a single model or for a collection of models. In the latter case, models can be compared against each other. Such comparison helps to find strengths and weaknesses of different approaches and gives additional possibilities for model validation. Presented explainers are implemented in the DALEX package for R. They are based on a uniform standardized grammar of model exploration which may be easily extended. The current implementation supports the most popular frameworks for classification and regression.

description: Active learning is relevant and challenging for high-dimensional regression models when the annotation of the samples is expensive. Yet most of the existing sampling methods cannot be applied to large-scale problems, consuming too much time for data processing. In this paper, we propose a fast active learning algorithm for regression, tailored for neural network models. It is based on uncertainty estimation from stochastic dropout output of the network. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets show comparable or better performance (depending on the accuracy metric) as compared to the baselines. This approach can be generalized to other deep learning architectures. It can be used to systematically improve a machine-learning model as it offers a computationally efficient way of sampling additional data.

description: Enigmatic transitions between spin-up and spin-down have been observed in several X-ray pulsars accreting matter via an accretion disk. In these transitions, the torque changes sign but remains at nearly the same magnitude. It has been noted previously that alternating prograde and retrograde disk flows would explain many features of the torque reversals, although it has been unclear how a stable retrograde disk could be formed. We suggest that the reversals may be related to the disk at times being warped to such an extent that the inner region becomes tilted by more than 90 degrees. This region would thus become retrograde, leading to a negative torque. Accretion disk models can show such behavior, if account is taken of a warping instability due to irradiation. The resulting `flip-overs' of the inner parts of the disk can reproduce most characteristics of the observations, although it remains unclear what sets the timescale on which the phenomenon occurs. If this model were correct, it would have a number of ramifications, for instance that in the spin-down state the X-ray source would mostly be observed through the accretion disk.

description: We use Atacama Large Millimeter Array CO(3-2) observations in conjunction with optical observations from the Hubble Space Telescope to determine the ratio of stellar to gas mass for regions in the Antennae Galaxies. We adopt the term "instantaneous mass ratio" IMR(t) = M$_{stars}$/(M$_{gas}$ +M$_{stars}$), that is equivalent to the star formation efficiency for an idealized system at t = 0. We use two complementary approaches to determining the IMR(t) based on 1) the enclosed stellar and molecular mass within circular apertures centered on optically-identified clusters, and 2) a tessellation algorithm that defines regions based on CO emission. We find that only a small number of clusters appear to have IMR(0) = SFE > 0.2, which suggests that only a small fraction of these clusters will remain bound. The results suggest that by ages of $10^{6.7}$ years, some clusters will have lost all of their associated molecular gas, and by $10^{7.5}$ years this is true for the majority of clusters. There appears to be slight dependence of the IMR(t) on the CO surface brightness, which could support the idea that dense molecular environments are more likely to form bound clusters. However, the IMR(t) appears to have a strong dependence on extinction, which likely traces the evolutionary state of clusters.

How do non-coordinating anions in ionic liquids coordinate to metal centres?
Creators: name: Hassan, Nur Hasyareeda
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Green Chemistry aims to modify chemical processes so that they are more friendly to the environment. The 9th principle of Green Chemistry emphasises the use of catalytic reagents in chemical processes. One way in which ionic liquids can implement this principle is in two-phase catalytic processes. A major drawback of homogenous catalysis processes is associated with the separation of the catalyst from the products. This can be solved by the use of biphasic catalysis, in which the catalyst can be reused several times without any significant changes in its catalytic performance. However, it is vital to understand how catalysts interact with the solvents in a biphasic solvent system. On one hand, it is advantageous to use an ionic form of catalyst (e.g Cu2+) because this improves the retention of the catalyst in the ionic liquid. However, using charged ions affects their catalytic performance, because their coordination characteristics are changed. Many catalysts are transition metal complexes. Therefore, a solvatochromic transition metal is an ideal probe to study the behaviour of ionic liquid, specifically how do the non-coordinating anions in ionic liquids coordinate to metal centres? In this thesis, a set of solvatochromic copper complexes with different charges were synthesised and characterised. The monocationic complexes had the form [Cu(acac)(tmen)]X (acac = acetylacetonate, tmen = tetramethylethylenediamine) where X were Cl⁻, [NO3]⁻, [SCN]⁻, [OTf]⁻, [NTf2]⁻ and [PF6]⁻. The neutral complex was Cu(hfac)2 (hfac = hexafluoroacetonate). A set of non-functionalised ionic liquids and functionalised ionic liquids (FIL) containing hydroxyl, nitrile and ketone groups were also synthesised and characterised. The Kamlet-Taft multi parameter polarity scales were used to study the solvent-solute interactions of the ionic liquids by means of dipolarity/polarizability (π*), hydrogen bond donating ability (α) and hydrogen bond accepting ability (β). The UV-Vis absorption spectra of the complexes were measured in solid state, dichloroethane and ionic liquid solutions. Analysis of these spectra suggested all these weakly coordinating anions coordinate with the copper centre in a different manner depending on the How do Non-coordinating Anions in Ionic Liquids coordinate to Metal Centres coordinating ability of the anion and also the charge of the copper centre. The coordination mode and the order of binding strength for the individual anions were fully studied and analysed. The correlation between νmax and solvent donor number was investigated by measuring UV-vis spectra in a range of molecular solvents, and was used to predict the donor numbers of the ionic liquid solvents. The apparent donor number of ionic liquids was also predicted using the value from the spectra measured in ionic liquids. The effect of functionalised groups in ionic liquids on donor ability has also been investigated by comparing the results from non-functionalied and functionalised ionic liquids
Extended depth of field
Creators: name: Ramirez Hernandez, Pavel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: In this thesis the extension of the depth of field of optical systems is investigated. The problem of achieving extended depth of field (EDF) while preserving the transverse resolution is also addressed. A new expression for the transport of intensity equation in the prolate spheroidal coordinates system is derived, with the aim of investigating the phase retrieval problem with applications to EDF. A framework for the optimisation of optical systems with EDF is also introduced, where the main motivation is to find an appropriate scenario that will allow a convex optimisation solution leading to global optima. The relevance in such approach is that it does not depend on the optimisation algorithms since each local optimum is a global one. The multi-objective optimisation framework for optical systems is also discussed, where the main focus is the optimisation of pupil plane masks. The solution for the multi-objective optimisation problem is presented not as a single mask but as a set of masks. Convex frameworks for this problem are further investigated and it is shown that the convex optimisation of pupil plane masks is possible, providing global optima to the optimisation problems for optical systems. Seven masks are provided as examples of the convex optimisation solutions for optical systems, in particular 5 pupil plane masks that achieve EDF by factors of 2, 2.8, 2.9, 4 and 4.3, including two pupil masks that besides of extending the depth of field, are super-resolving in the transverse planes. These are shown as examples of solutions to particular optimisation problems in optical systems, where convexity properties have been given to the original problems to allow a convex optimisation, leading to optimised masks with a global nature in the optimisation scenario.

description: Lesser begins this interview by detailing his familial background and his early years in northern New Jersey. Lesser recalls his early political awareness, citing his father's reading habits, a speech he gave in high school, and an experience with anti-Semitism as a freshman in college. Lesser shares memories of his earliest demonstrations, the repercussions of his political activism, and the formative impact of encounters with other civil rights activists, including George Wiley and Rudy Lombard. Lesser discusses his decision to participate in a voter registration project in Louisiana in the spring of 1963 and the project's leader Ronnie Moore. He chronicles his arrests and experiences in jail, including prison hunger strikes and protests. Lesser focuses on his charge with criminal anarchy, a capital offense in the state of Louisiana, and its personal impact. He describes some of the people he met in Louisiana before beginning a broader discussion of what strengths Northern white volunteers brought South, as well as the lasting impact of the experience. He talks about the deaths of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner in the summer of 1964. He talks about the various positions he held with CORE, including his time as the Midwest Regional Field Secretary, until his resignation following the election of Floyd McKissick. Lesser briefly discusses the controversy surrounding that election as well as, in broader terms, the influence of the Black Power movement within activist organizations at the time. Other topics of discussion include: Lesser's work with George Wiley and the National Welfare Rights Organization, the unfair treatment of welfare mothers, and his recruitment as an organizer in 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East

description: Applying the survival function analysis to the planet radius distribution of the Kepler confirmed/candidate planets, we have identified two natural divisions of planet radius at 4 Earth radii and 10 Earth radii. These divisions place constraints on planet formation and interior structure model. The division at 4 Earth radii separates small exoplanets from large exoplanets above. When combined with the recently-discovered radius gap at 2 Earth radii, it supports the treatment of planets 2-4 Earth radii as a separate group, likely water worlds. For planets around solar-type FGK main-sequence stars, we argue that 2 Earth radii is the separation between water-poor and water-rich planets, and 4 Earth radii is the separation between gas-poor and gas-rich planets. We confirm that the slope of survival function in between 4 and 10 Earth radii to be shallower compared to either ends, indicating a relative paucity of planets in between 4-10 Earth radii, namely, the sub-Saturnian desert there. We name them transitional planets, as they form a bridge between the gas-poor small planets and gas giants. Accordingly, we propose the following classification scheme: (<2 Earth radii) rocky planets, (2-4 Earth radii) water worlds, (4-10 Earth radii) transitional planets, and (>10 Earth radii) gas giants.

description: The Green's Function Monte Carlo method of Chin et al is applied to SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in (2+1)D. Accurate measurements are obtained for the ground-state energy and mean plaquette value, and for various Wilson loops. The results are compared with series expansions and coupled cluster estimates, and with the Euclidean Monte Carlo results of Teper. A striking demonstration of universality between the Hamiltonian and Euclidean formulations is obtained.

description: It is known that any Poisson manifold can be embedded into a bigger space which admites a description in terms of the canonical Poisson structure, i.e., Darboux coordinates. Such a procedure is known as a symplectic realization and has a number of important applications like quantization of the original Poisson manifold. In the present paper we extend the above idea to the case of quasi-Poisson structures which should not necessarily satisfy the Jacobi identity. For any given quasi-Poisson structure $Θ$ we provide a recursive procedure of the construction of a symplectic manifold, as well as the corresponding expression in the Darboux coordinates, which we look in form of the generalized Bopp shift. Our construction is illustrated on the exemples of the constant $R$-flux algebra, quasi-Poisson structure isomorphic to the commutator algebra of imaginary octonions and the non-geometric M-theory $R$-flux backgrounds. In all cases we derive explicit formulae for the symplectic realization and the generalized Bopp shift. We also discuss possible applications of the obtained mathematical structures.
ESM file from A global synthesis of the small-island effect in habitat islands

description: Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered as the leading drivers of biodiversity loss. The small-island effect (SIE) can be used to predict species extinctions resulting from habitat loss and has important implications for species conservation. However, to date, no study has explicitly evaluated the prevalence of SIEs in habitat islands. Here, we compiled 90 global datasets to systematically investigate the prevalence and underlying factors determining the ubiquity of SIEs in habitat island systems. Among the 90 datasets, SIEs were unambiguously detected in 36 cases. We found significant effects of habitat island types and taxon groups on the threshold area of SIEs. The number of islands, area range, species range, island type and taxon group were key variables that determined the prevalence of SIEs. Our study demonstrates that SIEs occur in 40% of cases and thus are common in habitat islands. We conclude that conservation biologists and applied ecologists should consider the prevalence of SIEs when making management strategies in fragmented landscapes.

A Note on the Viability of Gaseous Ionization in Active Galaxies by Fast Shocks

description: Observational evidence suggest that shocks may affect the spatial and velocity distributions of gas in the NLR/ENLR of some active galaxies. It thus seemed plausible that shocks may also energize the NLR. The observed emission line ratios strongly favor photoionization as the heating source, but it is not clear whether the ionizing radiation is generated in the NLR by "photoionizing shocks" or whether it originates at the central continuum source. Here I point out that shocks are highly inefficient in producing line emission. Shocks in the NLR can convert at most 10^{-6} of the rest mass to ionizing radiation, compared with a maximum conversion efficiency of ~0.1 for the central continuum source. The required mass flow rate through shocks in the NLR is thus a few orders of magnitude higher than the mass accretion rate required to power the NLR by the central continuum source. Since gravity appears to dominate the NLR cloud dynamics, shocks must lead to an inflow, and the implied high inflow rates can be ruled out in most active galaxies. NLR dynamics driven by a thermal wind or by some jet configurations may produce the mass flux through shocks required for photoionizing shocks to be viable, but the mass flux inward from the NLR must be kept ~100-1000 times smaller. Photoionizing shocks are a viable mechanism in very low luminosity active galaxies if they are highly sub-Eddington (

Tomography of the temporal-spectral state of subnatural-linewidth single photons from atomic ensembles

description: Subnatural-linewidth single-photon source is a potential candidate for exploring the time degree of freedom in photonic quantum information science. This type of single-photon source has been demonstrated to be generated and reshaped in atomic ensembles without any external cavity or filter, and is typically characterized through photon-counting technology. However, the full complex temporal mode function(TMF) of the photon source is not able to be revealed from direct photon counting measurement. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate the complete temporal mode of the subnatural-linewidth single photons generated from a cold atomic cloud. Through heterodyne detection between the single photon and a local oscillator with various central frequencies, we recover the temporal density matrix of the single photons at resolvable time bins. Further we demonstrate that the reduced autocorrelation function measured through homodyne detection perfectly reveals the pure temporal-spectral state of the subnatural-linewidth single photons.

title: Multi-physics phase-field modeling of magnetic materials
Creators: name: Ohmer, Dominik
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED

description: With the fast growth of economies around the globe, especially in warmer climate regions, the demand of cooling devices is expected to increase drastically within the next decades and with it the emission of greenhouse gases. In an attempt to develop a more energy efficient and environment friendly cooling device, a multi-stimuli concept utilizing the magneto- and elastocaloric effect was proposed. The goal of this work is to build a multi-physics phase-field model for the simulation of this multi-stimuli concept. Micromagnetic simulations are firstly introduced as a tool to simulate the relation between magnetic properties and microstructure. Micromagnetic simulations are performed on Y-Co and Sm-Co structures, showing that the magnetic properties, especially the coercivity of permanent magnets, strongly depend on microstructural features. In a second step, a new methodology for the extrapolation of micromagnetic simulations to temperatures around and above TC is introduced. A combination of micromagnetic simulations and the Arrott-Noakes equation allows for the calculation of the magnetocaloric effect, taking into account the influence of microstructure and magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Applying the methodology on Co2B nanograins shows good agreement with experimental results. In order to not only consider second-order materials, a multi-physics phase-field model is presented which combines a tetragonal martensite and cubic austenite phase-field model with micromagnetism. With a finite element implementation of this three-dimensional real-space model, the structural and magnetic features observed in MSMA are simulated. In addition, it is shown that the temperature-dependent energy formulation allows for the simulation of the martensite-austenite transition, including the thermal hysteresis. As final step, the micromagnetic energy terms are modified to also take into account magnetic transitions that occur along the martensite-austenite transition. Depending on the modification of the magnetic energy terms with the phase order parameter, the model can take into account the transition between a ferromagnetic martensite and paramagnetic austenite, as well as the transition between a paramagnetic martensite and ferromagnetic austenite. While the application of uniaxial pressure shifts Tt to higher temperature, the direction of the shift with applied magnetic fields depends on the magnetic transition considered. Summarizing, after presenting the individual physics to be considered, this work presents a new multi-physics phase-field model, which is capable of capturing the martensite-austenite transition under the consideration of different magnetic transitions. With the ability to simulate the thermal hysteresis and shift of Tt with external stimuli, the presented model is capable of simulating the multi-stimuli concept.
