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 ...
We present high-field magnetization and Br-79 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and Te-125 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies in the weakly coupled Cu2+ (S = 1/2) tetrahedral system Cu2Te2O5Br2. The field-induced level crossing effects were observed ...
We investigate the superfluid-insulator quantum phase transition in a disordered one-dimensional Bose gas in the mean-field limit by studying the probability distribution of the density. The superfluid phase is characterized by a vanishing probability to h ...
Following a brief period of brushing a monkey arm with a real brush, synchronized with the vision of an arm avatar being brushed virtually, neurons in the primary somatosensory and motor cortices began to fire in response to the virtual brushing alone, sug ...
Flow patterns in microstructured reactors (or microchannels) play an important role in dictating the mass transfer rates. In the present work, experiments were carried out to investigate the two phase (liquids) flow patterns in microchannels with different ...
We investigate the competition between spin supersolidity and phase separation in a frustrated spin-half model of weakly coupled dimers. We start by considering systems of hard-core bosons on the square lattice, onto which the low-energy physics of the her ...
We investigate experimentally metallic nanoparticle composites fabricated by bottom-up techniques as potential candidates for optical metamaterials. Depending on the plasmonic resonances sustained by individual NPs and their nanoscale organization into lar ...

We investigate the dispersion of the charge carrier plasmon in the three prototypical charge-density wave bearing transition-metal dichalcogenides 2H-TaSe2, 2H-TaS2, and 2H-NbSe2 employing electron energy-loss spectroscopy. For all three compounds the plas ...
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 properties of mesoporous materials hinge on control of their compn., pore dimensions, wall thickness, and the size and shape of the crystallite building units. We create ordered mesoporous materials in which all of these parameters are independently co ...
