We investigate the degenerate fractional Schr\"{o}dinger-Kirchhoff-Poisson equation in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with critical nonlinearity and electromagnetic fields $\varepsilon^{2s} M([u]_{s,A}^2)(-\Delta)_{A}^su + V(x)u + \phi u = k(x)|u|^{r-2}u +…
Thermal displacement fluctuations in a crystal may be classified as either "affine" or "non-affine". While the former couples to external stress with familiar consequences, the response of a crystal when {\em non-affine} displacements are…
We propose a new method to extract the CP violating weak phase $\gamma$ (the phase of $V_{ub}^*$) in the CKM paradigm of the Standard Model, using $B^- \rightarrow D^0 \pi^- \rightarrow f \pi^-$ and $B^- \rightarrow \bar D^0 \pi^-…

We suggest a new technique to determine the CKM phase $\gamma$ {\em without} neglecting the (soft) final state rescattering effects. We use (time integrated) $B$ meson decay rates to $\pi$'s and $K$'s. A set of 5 $\Delta S = 0$ (or 1…

The phase field crystal (PFC) model captures the elastic and topological properties of crystals with a single scalar field at small undercooling. At large undercooling, new foam-like behavior emerges. We characterize this foam phase of the…
