Dependence on the square resistance of the linear attenuation caused by an absorbing vane in a circular waveguide is investigated. The maximal attenuation is determined to be attained at the square resistance values in the range 130-150…
Resistivity measurements have been made on Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Si single crystals between 2 and 300K for $x$ = 0, 0.05, 0.08, 0.12 and 0.15. Fe doping is found to depress the magnetic ordering temperature from 30K for $x$ = 0 to below 2K for…
We present constraints on the mass of warm dark matter (WDM) particles from a combined analysis of the matter power spectrum inferred from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey \lya flux power spectrum at 2.2<z<4.2, cosmic microwave background data,…
We present the first radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of the atmosphere of white dwarf stars. We demonstrate that convective energy transfer is seriously impeded by magnetic fields when the plasma-beta parameter, the thermal to…
We have succeeded in growing very high purity (99.995%) YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-delta} crystals in BaZrO_3 crucibles and have measured Delta-lambda(T) and R_s(T) at 1 GHz in crystals with various oxygen treatments. For an oxygen vacancy level of…
The superconducting transition temperatures, $T_{\mathrm{c}}$, of La$_{4}$Ni$_{3}$O$_{10+\delta}$($\delta$ = 0.04 and -0.01) were determined under various pressures up to 124.9 GPa by electrical resistance measurements with a diamond anvil…
A new result for the pion nucleon Sigma term from a George Washington University/TRIUMF group analysis of pion nucleon data is presented. The value Sigma=79$\pm$7 MeV was obtained, compared to the canonical value 64$\pm$8 MeV found by Koch.…
Full suite of the present day Cosmic Microwave background (CMB) data, when combined with weak prior information on the Hubble constant and the age of the Universe, or the Large-Scale structure, provides strong indication for a non-zero…
Even after nearly a century of discovery of superconductivity, there has been no direct experimental proof of the expected zero resistance of superconductors. Indeed, it has been believed that it is impossible to experimentally show that…
We report measurements of the resistance of silicon MOSFETs as a function of temperature in high parallel magnetic fields where the 2D system of electrons has been shown to be fully spin-polarized. A magnetic field suppresses the metallic…
The resistivity of ultra-clean suspended graphene is strongly temperature dependent for 5K<T<240K. At T~5K transport is near-ballistic in a device of ~2um dimension and a mobility ~170,000 cm^2/Vs. At large carrier density, n>0.5*10^11…
We study theoretically the mechanical failure of a simple model of double stranded DNA under an applied shear. Starting from a more microscopic Hamiltonian that describes a sheared DNA, we arrive at a nonlinear generalization of a ladder…
Within an effective Lagrangian approach, we investigate the reaction mechanism of $K^- p\to \eta\Lambda$ near threshold. It is found that a new $D_{03}$ resonance, with mass $M=1668.5\pm 0.5$MeV and width $\Gamma=1.5\pm0.5$MeV, is needed to…
Loubeyre, Occelli, and Dumas (LOD) [1] claim to have produced metallic hydrogen (MH) at a pressure of 425 GPa, without the necessary supporting evidence of an insulator to metal transition. The paper is much ado about nothing. Most of the…

A long-standing limitation of semiconductor neutron detectors is the lack of a scalable solution to make large area instruments. Neutron detectors are used in a wide range of applications, including the nuclear industry, safeguarding…
The optical conductivity, $\sigma(\omega)$, of the two dimensional one-band Hubbard model is calculated at finite temperature using exact diagonalization techniques on finite clusters. The in-plane d.c. resistivity, $\rho_{ab}$, is also…
In a previous paper we have shown that the function \Gamma(M, EOS)=\alpha\beta_{GR}/\Lambda^{0.9}(R) is constant (~ 0.4) for pre main-sequence stars (PMS), white dwarfs (WD) and for some neutron star (NS) models, where \alpha_{GR} and…
