Strongly coupled field theories with gravity duals can be placed at finite density in two ways: electric field flux emanating from behind a horizon, or bulk charged fields outside of the horizon that explicitly source the density. We…
We consider accretion discs in close binary systems. We show that heating of a disc at the impact point of the accretion stream contributes significantly to the local energy budget at its outer edge. As a result the thermal balance relation…

We have observed that C$_{60}^+$ ions isolated in cryogenic matrixes show pronounced near-IR photoluminescence upon excitation in the near-IR range. By contrast UV photoexcitation does not lead to measurable luminescence. After the recent…
Laser site-selective spectroscopy and high-resolution absorption measurements have been used to determine 51 crystal-field energy levels for one of the Ho$^{3+}$ centres in Y$_{2}$SiO$_{5}$. This centre is denoted as Site 2 and has been…

We give an upper bound for the number of points of a hypersurface over a finite field that has no lines on, in terms of the dimension, the degree, and the number of the elements of the finite field.
Optical imaging of the intensity, phase and polarization distributions of optical field is fundamental to numerous applications. Traditional methods rely on bulky optical components and require multiple measurements. Recently,…

We present a mean-field study of caloric effects driven by primary and secondary fields near tricritical points, which are fields thermodynamically conjugated to the main and secondary order parameters, respectively. General features, such…
We provide a strategy to find in few elementary calculations the critical exponents of the overlaps for dilute spin glasses, in absence of external field. Such a strategy is based on the expansion of a suitably perturbed average of the…
