We investigate the dependence of band dispersion of the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) edge states in the Kane-Mele model on crystallographic orientation of the edges. Band structures of the one-dimensional honeycomb lattice ribbons show the presence of t ...
Multimegaton scale in under-ice and underwater detectors of atmospheric neutrinos with a few GeV energy threshold (PINGU, ORCA) open up new possibilities in the determination of neutrino properties, and in particular the neutrino mass hierarchy. With a den ...
We present accurate and efficient computations of large scale structure observables, obtained with a modified version of the c l ass code which is made publicly available. This code includes all relativistic corrections and computes both the power spectrum ...
Ultracold gases provide a controlled environment that is ideal for studying many intriguing phenomena associated with quantum correlated systems. Current efforts are directed towards the identification of magnetic properties, as well as the creation and de ...
Diffusion MRI is a well established imaging modality providing a powerful way to non-invasively probe the structure of the white matter. Despite the potential of the technique, the intrinsic long scan times of these sequences have hampered their use in cli ...
We make a detailed analysis of the indirect diffuse gamma-ray signals from dark matter annihilation in the Galaxy. We include the prompt emission, as well as the emission from inverse Compton scattering whenever the annihilation products contain light lept ...
The ground-state properties of the S = 1/2 transverse-field Ising model on the checkerboard lattice are studied using linear spin-wave theory. We consider the general case of different couplings between nearest neighbors (J(1)) and next-to-nearest neighbor ...
A topological insulator is a state of quantum matter that, while being an insulator in the bulk, hosts topologically protected electronic states at the surface. These states open the opportunity to realize a number of new applications in spintronics and qu ...
Preterm infants exhibit chronic deficits in white matter (WM) and cortical maturation. Although fetal infection/inflammation may contribute to WM pathology, the factors contributing to cortical changes are largely unknown. We examined the effect of fetal l ...
Auctions are widely used on the Web. Applications range from internet advertising to platforms such as eBay. In most of these applications the auctions in use are single/multi-item auctions with unit demand. The main drawback of standard mechanisms for thi ...
