Experiments involving phase coherent dynamics of networks of spins, such as echo experiments, will only work if decoherence can be suppressed. We show here, by analyzing the particular example of a crystalline network of Fe8 molecules, that…

Error estimates of finite element methods for reaction-diffusion Problems are often realized in the related energy norm. In the singularly perturbed case, however, this norm is not adequate. A different scaling of the $H^1$ seminorm leads…

Finite nuclei such as those found in the chain of even tin isotopes from ^{102}Sn to ^{130}Sn, exhibit a near constancy of the 2^+_1-0^+_1 excitation energy, a constancy which can be related to strong pairing correlations and the near…
We present a mechanism to generate complex phases from real 4+1 dimensional couplings in a model of weak interactions through dimensional reduction of a gauge theory. The orbifolding of a 4+1 dimensional Sp(4) \times U(1) group is the…
