We study the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) for a system of $^7Li$ atoms, which have negative scattering length (attractive interaction), confined in a harmonic potential. Within the Bogoliubov and Popov approximations, we numerically…
Salt precipitation near injection wells can reduce permeability, induce excess pressure buildup, and reduce injectivity within days to weeks of CO2 injection, yet the pore-scale mechanisms coupling multiphase flow, evaporation, and…
We study the effects of pressure on the electron-phonon interaction in MgB_2 using density-functional-based methods. Our results show that the superconductivity in MgB_2 vanishes by 100 GPa, and then reappears at higher pressures. In…
The preferential formation of one solid over the other, as it precipitates out from the melt at specific temperatures, is often explained by invoking a competition between thermodynamic and kinetic control. A quantitative theory, however,…
