We report on a systematic study of the density dependence of mobility in a low-density Carbon-doped (100) GaAs two-dimensional hole system (2DHS). At T= 50 mK, a mobility of 2.6 x 10^6 cm^2/Vs at a density p=6.2 x 10^10 cm^- was measured.…
Ultra-lean hydrogen-air flames propagating in narrow gaps, under the influence of cold walls and high preferential diffusion, can form two distinct isolated structures. They exhibit either circular or double-cell shapes and propagate at…
Particles confined to a single file, in a narrow quasi-one dimensional channel, exhibit a dynamic crossover from single file diffusion to Fickian diffusion as the channel radius increases and the particles can begin to pass each other. The…
We consider a liquid bearing gas bubbles in a porous medium. When gas bubbles are immovably trapped in a porous matrix by surface-tension forces, the dominant mechanism of transfer of gas mass becomes the diffusion of gas molecules through…
