The origin of superconductivity in the FeSe monolayer on SrTiO$_3$ remains one of the unresolved mysteries in condensed-matter physics. Here by investigation of the temperature evolution of the dynamic charge response of FeSe/SrTiO$_3$ we…
Be stars, which are characterised by intermittent emission in their hydrogen lines, are known to be fast rotators. This fast rotation is a requirement for the formation of a Keplerian disk, which in turn gives rise to the emission. However,…
In this talk, we present the general principles of binary evolution and give two examples. The first example is the formation of subdwarf B stars (sdBs) and their application to the long-standing problem of ultraviolet excess (also known as…
We find that the hole mobility of the crystal smectic phases of the liquid crystal 1,4-di-(5-n-tridecylthien-2-yl)-benzene increases exponentially with decreasing temperature. While qualitatively consistent with transport via polaron bands,…
Observations of protoplanetary disks have revealed them to be complex and dynamic, with vertical and radial transport of gas and dust occurring simultaneously with chemistry and planet formation. Previous models of protoplanetary disks…
This paper reviews atoms and ions in the upper atmosphere, including the mesospheric metals Na, Fe, Mg$^+$, Si$^+$, Ca$^+$, K and also non-metallic species N, N$^+$, O, H, considering their potential for astronomical adaptive optics. Na and…
We test the hypothesis that the observed first-peak (Sr, Y, Zr) and second-peak (Ba) s-process elemental abundances in low-metallicity Milky Way stars, and the abundances of the elements Mo and Ru, can be explained by a pervasive r-process…
The formation of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is an ongoing challenge in stellar evolution. The important subset of LMXBs are the binary systems with a neutron star (NS) accretor. In NS LMXBs with non-degenerate donors, the mass transfer…
We study the dynamics and evolution of a C2.3 two-ribbon flare, developed on 2002 August 11, during the impulsive and the long gradual phase. To this end we obtained multiwavelength observations using the CDS spectrometer aboard SOHO,…
We present transport and superconducting properties - namely resistivity, magnetoresistivity, Hall effect, Seebeck effect, thermal conductivity, upper critical field - of two different families of Fe-based superconductors, which can be…
Thin films of Fe(1+delta)Se(1-x)Te(x) (delta ~ 0.18 & x ~ 0.5) have been successfully grown on (100) oriented single crystalline SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The crystal structure was characterized by x-ray…
Unraveling the cosmological Li problem - the discrepancy between Big Bang nucleosynthesis predictions and observed values in the Spite plateau - requires a comprehensive exploration of stellar evolution. In this study, we utilized the code…
Based on detailed models for the explosions, light curves and NLTE-spectra, evolutionary effects of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) with redshift have been studied to evaluate their size on cosmological time scales,how the effects can be…
We report abundances of elements from $_{26}$Fe to $_{40}$Zr in the cosmic radiation measured by the SuperTIGER (Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder) instrument during 55 days of exposure on a long-duration balloon flight over Antarctica.…
Recently models based on the acceleration of metal-rich material inside superbubbles have been proposed to account for the observed abundances of Be and B in metal-poor halo stars. We analyse some of the implications of these models for the…
Fluorite-type $\mathrm{HfO_2}$-based ferroelectric (FE) oxides have rekindled interest in FE memories due to their compatibility with silicon processing and potential for high-density integration. The polarization characteristics of FE…
We develop a hybrid model of galactic chemical evolution that combines a multi-ring computation of chemical enrichment with a prescription for stellar migration and the vertical distribution of stellar populations informed by a cosmological…
The vast majority of the most iron-poor stars in the Galaxy exhibit a strong carbon enhancement, with C/H ratios only about two orders of magnitude below solar. This unusual chemical composition likely reflects the properties of the gas…
In this paper, linear first order expansion of deceleration parameter $q(z)=q_0+q_1(1-a)$ ($M_1$), constant jerk $j=j_0$ ($M_2$) and third order expansion of luminosity distance ($M_3$) are confronted with cosmic observations: SCP 307 SN…
The resistivity in the ferromagnetic state of flux-grown La_{2/3}(Pb,Ca)_{1/3}MnO_3 single crystals, measured in magnetic fields up to 7 T, reveals a strong quadratic temperature dependence at and above 50 K. At lower temperatures, this…
