We present an experimental and theoretical study of the shape of fragments generated by explosive and impact loading of closed shells. Based on high speed imaging, we have determined the fragmentation mechanism of shells. Experiments have…

Spatially separated electron systems remain strongly coupled by electron-electron interactions even when they cannot exchange particles, provided that the layer separation d is comparable to a characteristic distance l between charge…

We study the structure of bound states appearing in systems governed by the Coulomb and short-range interactions. We analyze the binding energies and wave functions of the bound states generated by the Coulomb plus short-range potential. We…

Interacting rotating spiral waves have been observed in complex systems, such as cardiac fibrillation, cognitive processing in the brain cortex and oscillating chemical reactions, during dynamical regimes that are still poorly understood.…

We consider a particle bound to a two-dimensional plane and a double well potential, subject to a perpendicular uniform magnetic field . The energy difference between the lowest two eigenvalues--the eigenvalue splitting--is related to the…

The dry frictional contact between two solid surfaces is well-known to obey Coulomb friction laws. In particular, the static friction force resisting the relative lateral (tangential) motion of solid surfaces, initially at rest, is known to…

The formation of molecules and supramolecular structures results from bonding by conservative forces acting among electrons and nuclei and giving rise to equilibrium configurations defined by minima of the interaction potential. Here we…

The fusion of two interacting heavy ions traditionally has been interpreted in terms of the penetration of the projectile into the target. Observed rates well below the Coulomb barrier are considerably lower than estimates obtained from…

Momentum distributions of particles from nuclear break-up of fast three-body halos are calculated for polarized beam and outgoing fragments. These momentum distributions are combined in observable quantities which emphasize the two-body…

We study a quantum mechanical system consisting of up to three identical dipoles confined to move along a helical shaped trap. The long-range interactions between particles confined to move in this one dimension leads to an interesting…

The transport properties of a tunnel barrier in a one-dimensional wire are investigated at finite voltages and temperatures. We generalize the Luttinger model to account for finite ranges of the interaction. This leads to deviations from…

We calculate a tunneling time distribution by means of Nelson's quantum mechanics and investigate its statistical properties. The relationship between the average and deviation of tunneling time suggests the exsistence of ``wave-particle…

Following the idea that dissipation in turbulence at high Reynolds number is by events singular in space-time and described by solutions of the inviscid Euler equations, we draw the conclusion that in such flows scaling laws should depend…

The formal theory of breakup reactions is reviewed. The direct breakup mechanism which is formulated within the framework of the post form distorted wave Born approximation is discussed in detail. In this theory, which requires the…

We investigated two-dimensional brittle fragmentation with a flat impact experimentally, focusing on the low impact energy region near the fragmentation-critical point. We found that the universality class of fragmentation transition…
