Vanadium oxide nanotubes with a diameter of 20-100 nm and an aspect ratio of 50-100 were synthesized by hydrothermal method. Young's modulus of 20-80 GPa was obtained by bending measurements of individual nanotubes using an atomic force microscope. Electri ...
A general and rigorous methodology to compute the quantum equilibrium isotope effect is described. Unlike standard approaches, ours does not assume separability of rotational and vibrational motions and does not make the harmonic approximation for vibratio ...
We present a generalization of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati scenario to higher codimensions which, unlike previous attempts, is free of ghost instabilities. The 4D propagator is made regular by embedding our visible 3-brane within a 4-brane, each with their ...
We show that in theories in which supersymmetry breaking is communicated by renormalizable perturbative interactions, it is possible to extract the soft terms for the observable fields from wave-function renormalization. Therefore all the information about ...
We describe a library to compute various types of Green's tensor for three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering calculations. This library includes the retarded and non-retarded (quasi-static) Green's tensors for infinite homogeneous space and the non-re ...
This work gives a detailed derivation of the non-retarded dyadic Green's tensor associated with surfaces in the quasistatic approximation. The derivation is made from a rigorous model where the dyadic is expressed as Sommerfeld integrals. We then assess th ...
ABSTRACT In order to obtain information about the internal structure of fluctuating Cooper pairs in the pseudogap state and below the transition temperature of high Tc superconductors, we solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the two-electron propagator in ...
We study spin interactions between two moving D-branes using the Green-Schwarz formalism of boundary states. We focus our attention on the leading terms for small velocities v, of the form v(4-n)/r(7-P+n) (v(2-n)/r(3-p+n)) for p-p (p-p + 4) systems, with 1 ...
The relation between the Eulerian and the Lagrangian correlation functions is studied in two spatial dimensions. Simple analytical expressions for the full space-time varying Eulerian correlation are derived solely on the basis of the one-dimensional waven ...
We use the boundary state formalism to study the interaction of two moving identical D-branes in the Type II superstring theory compactified on orbifolds. By computing the velocity dependence of the amplitude in the limit of large separation we can identif ...
