Anisotropy in the density of unoccupied states can be detected in the fine structure of ionization edges in angle-resolved EELS. It is shown that in a crystal an interference term occurs in the inelastic signal, and how it relates to electron channeling an ...
A strong de electric field dependence of the dielectric permittivity makes perovskite ferroelectrics promising materials for tunable microwave devices like phase shifters, tunable resonators, tunable filters etc. Dielectric loss is a crucial parameter for ...
The experimentally observed rise in the single pass methanol production with CO2 and H-2 (T = 200 degreesC, P = 4.3 bar) by in situ product removal over a perm-selective Nafion (R) membrane is verified by model simulations. For this purpose, software was d ...
A new cubic Ta-bronze (1) KTa1+z+(5-delta)O3 [z similar or equal to 0.107 (3)] was obtained on a cathode by molten salt electrolysis of the system K2TaOF5-K3TaO2F4-(KF + NaF + LiF)(cutectic). Black, metallic cubic crystals of (1) are formed together with t ...
We construct a general class of chiral four-dimensional string models with Scherk-Schwarz supersymmetry breaking, involving freely acting orbifolds. The basic ingredient is to combine an ordinary supersymmetry-preserving Z(N) projection with a supersymmetr ...
The spatial and time-reversal symmetries of excitons in quantum wires are discussed, including possible use in numerical computation. Particular attention is paid to the important case of a single symmetry plane (group C-s). Even in such a low symmetry cas ...
Due to the ubiquitous presence of a Berry phase, in most cases of dynamical Jahn-Teller systems the symmetry of the vibronic ground state is the same as that of the original degenerate electronic state; As a single exception, the linear H x h icosahedral m ...
We investigate in the simplest compact D = 4 N = 1 type-II B orientifold models the sigma-model symmetry suggested by the proposed duality of these models to heterotic orbifold vacua. This symmetry is known to be present at the classical level, and is asso ...
Simulations of exact spin dynamics in systems of multiple nuclear spins are limited to relatively small numbers of spins by the large size of the Hamiltonian matrices for dipolar-coupled spin systems. We propose using the translational symmetry of periodic ...
The lens major intrinsic protein (MTP, AQP0) is known to function as a water and solute channel. However, MIP has also been reported to occur in close membrane contacts between lens fiber cells, indicating that it has adhesive properties in addition to its ...
