The physically correct parametrization of the energy levels of transition ions in crystals in terms of crystal-field (CF) Hamiltonians ${\cal H}_{\rm CF}=\sum_{k}\sum_{q}B_{kq}C_{q}^{(k)}$ has to be based on the CF parameters $B_{kq}$ that…

The second moment of the sublevels within the initial state | \alpha SLJ > which constitutes a natural and adequate measure of the crystal-field (CF) effect can be redefined as sigma^{2}=1/(2J+1)\sum_{k} S_{k}^{2} A_{k}^{2}, where…

Griffith thermodynamic energy balance is employed to analyze cleavage phenomenon from atomic level. Results show that the cleavage toughness, the strain energy release rate, and the surface energy can be defined by the bond strength (the…
We compare the various chirality measures most widely used in the literature to quantify chiral symmetry in extended solids, i.e., the continuous chirality measure, the Hausdorff distance, and the angular momentum. By studying these…
An exterior complex scaling technique is applied to compute Stark resonance parameters for two molecular orbitals ($1b_{1}$ and $1b_{2}$) represented in the field-free limit in a single-center expansion. For electric DC field configurations…
A recent combination of measurements performed by the LHCb collaboration determined that $\gamma=(63.8^{+3.5}_{-3.7})^\circ$. The fit combined the results of $\gamma$ and charm measurements, which resulted in precision improvements for the…
A properly calibrated longitudinal magnetograph is an instrument that measures circular polarization and gives an estimation of the magnetic flux density in each observed resolution element. This usually constitutes a lower bound of the…
The stability of the phase difference between two white-light continua, generated from the same 180-fs pulses at 1035\,nm, is assessed by a modified Bellini-Hansch interferometer. Mutual spectral stability is studied as a function of…
We show that for a heavy vector-like quark model with a down type isosinglet, branching ratio for $c\rightarrow u\gamma$ decay is enhanced by more than $\mathcal{O}(10^2)$ as compared to that in the Standard model when QCD corrections to…
Crystal lattice deformations can be described microscopically by explicitly accounting for the position of atoms or macroscopically by continuum elasticity. In this work, we report on the description of continuous elastic fields derived…
Modular values are quantities that described by pre- and postselected states of quantum systems like weak values but are different from them: The associated interaction is not necessary to be weak. We discuss an optimal modular-value-based…
In order to determine the ratio of CKM matrix elements |V_{ub}/V_{cb}| (and |V_{ub}|), we propose a new model-independent method based on the heavy quark effective theory, which is theoretically described by the phase space factor and the…
