We consider the fluctuation conductivity in the critical region of a disorder induced quantum phase transition in layered d-wave superconductors. We specifically address the fluctuation contribution to the system's conductivity in the limit…
By numerical simulations, we show that properly arranged two dimensional periodic arrays, formed by dielectric cylinders embedded in parallel in a uniform medium, can indeed act as an optical lens to focus electromagnetic waves, in…
Cooled, low-loss nanomechanical resonators offer the prospect of directly observing the quantum dynamics of mesoscopic systems. However, the present state of the art requires cooling down to the milliKelvin regime in order to observe…
This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on Bose-Einstein condensation in trapped dilute gases. Journal articles and books are cited for the following topics: history, technological advances, condensates as quantum fluids,…
Calculations of the zone center optical mode frequencies (including LO-TO splitting), Born effective charges Z$^*_{\alpha\alpha}$ for each atom, dielectric constants $\epsilon_{0}$ and $\epsilon_{\infty}$, and the dielectric response in the…
We discuss the quantum phases and their diffusion dynamics in a spinor-1 atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. For ferromagnetic interactions, we obtain the exact ground state distribution of the phases associated with the total atom number…
We theoretically investigate electron spin injection and spin-polarization sensitive current detection at Schottky contacts between a ferromagnetic metal and an n-type or p-type semiconductor. We use spin-dependent continuity equations and…
Within a rigid-band correlated electron model for oligomers of poly-(paraphenylene) (PPP) and poly-(paraphenylenevinylene) (PPV), we show that there exist two fundamentally different classes of two-photon A$_g$ states in these systems to…
We present the c-axis optical conductivity $\sigma_{1c}(\omega, T)$ of underdoped ($x$ = 0.12) and optimally doped ($x$ = 0.15) LSCO from 4 meV to 1.8 eV obtained by a combination of reflectivity and transmission spectra. In addition to the…
Electrical spin injection from Fe into Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As quantum well heterostructures is demonstrated in small (< 500 Oe) in-plane magnetic fields. The measurement is sensitive only to the component of the spin that precesses about the…
We study the stochastic resonance phenomenon occurring in electronic Chua circuits operating in the chaotic regime when the forcing signal is modulated at relatively high frequency, of the order of magnitude of the main Chua frequency in…
The present article is an extended version of the paper {\it Phys. Rev.} {\bf B 59}, R2490 (1999), where, we have established the equivalence of the Calogero-Sutherland model to decoupled oscillators. Here, we first employ the same approach…
Atomic Bose-Einstein condensate is heated by atomic losses. Predicted depletion ranges from 1% for a uniform 3D condensate to around 10% for a quasi-1D condensate in a harmonic trap.
A protocell model consisting of mutually catalyzing molecules is studied in order to investigate how chemical compositions are transferred recursively through cell divisions under replication errors. Depending on the path rate, the numbers…
The paper describes the derivation of the Kohn-Sham equations for a nanowire with direct current. A value of the electron current enters the problem as an input via a subsidiary condition imposed by pointwise Lagrange multiplier. Using the…
After thrown onto a solid substrate, very soft spherical gels bounce repeatedly. Separate rheological measurements suggest that these balls can be treated as nearly elastic. The Hertz contact deformation expected in the static (elastic)…
We study the possibility of excitonic pairing in layered degenerate semimetals such as graphite, where the electron density of states almost vanishes at the Fermi level and, therefore, the Coulomb interactions remain essentially unscreened.…
The transition metal coordination compound (pyrimidine)2FeCl2 crystallizes in a chiral lattice, space group I 4_1 2 2 (or I4_3 2 2). Combined magnetization, Mossbauer spectroscopy and powder neutron diffraction studies reveal that it is a…
Exact renormalization map of temperature between two successive decorated lattices is given, and the distribution of the partition function zeros in the complex temperature plane is obtained for any decoration-level. The rule governing the…
A simple planar model for an orientational ordering of threefold molecules on a triangular lattice modelling a close-packed (111) plane of fullerite is considered. The system has 3-sublattice ordered ground state which includes 3 different…
