The Sommerfeld half-space problem revisited: from radio frequencies and Zenneck waves to visible light and Fano modes

The classical Sommerfeld half-space problem is revisited, with generalizations to multilayer and plasmonic media and focus on the surface field computation. A new ab initio solution is presented for an arbitrarily oriented Hertzian dipole radiating in the ...

A complete census of Herschel-detected infrared sources within the HST Frontier Fields

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Johan Richard

We present a complete census of all Herschel-detected sources within the six massive lensing clusters of the HST Frontier Fields (HFF). We provide a robust legacy catalogue of 263 sources with Herschel fluxes, primarily based on imaging from the Herschel L ...

Assessment of Confinement-Induced Band-to-Band Tunneling Leakage in the FinEHBTFET

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Cem Alper, José Luis Padilla de la Torre

In conventional planar EHBTFETs, the interband tunneling phenomena responsible for the drive current takes place vertically in the section of the channel where top and bottom gates overlap. As a result, the horizontal extent of this overlapping between gat ...

A gauge invariant Debye mass and the complex heavy-quark potential

Yannis Burnier

Following the original idea of Debye, we define and extract a gauge-invariant screening mass from the complex static in-medium heavy-quark potential V-Q (Q) over bar, recently obtained from lattice QCD. To this end we derive a formula using concepts from b ...

Viewpoint: Slowing Continuous Molecular Beams in a Rotating Spiral

Andreas Osterwalder

A new approach to the continuous deceleration of polar molecules uses a rotating guide to slow the molecules down. ...

Hartree simulations of coupled quantum Hall edge states in corner-overgrown heterostructures

The electronic states in a corner-overgrown bent GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well heterostructure are studied with numerical Hartree simulations. Transmission electron microscope pictures of the junction sharpness are shown to justify the sharp-corner potential as ...

Direct Evaluation of the Hyperconjugative Interactions

Zhenhua Chen

Following the computational strategy proposed by Mulliken in 1939 (J. Chem. Phys. 7 (5), 339-352 (1939)) when the concept of hyperconjugation was coined, we evaluated the hyperconjugative stabilization energy in 1,1,1-trihaloethane using the block-localize ...

Furtive quantum sensing using matter-wave cloaks

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

We introduce the concept of furtive quantum sensing, demonstrating the possibility of concealing quantum objects from matter waves while maintaining their ability to interact and to get excited by the impinging particles. This is obtained by cloaking, with ...

Multiple-junction photoelectric device and its production process

Christophe Ballif, Matthieu Despeisse, Gaetano Parascandolo, Peter Cuony

The present invention relates to a multiple-junction photoelectric device comprising, in sequence, a substrate (4), a first conducting layer (2), at least two elementary photoelectric devices (6, 10), at least one of said elementary photoelectric devices ( ...

Magnetic hourglass dispersion and its relation to high-temperature superconductivity in iron-tuned Fe

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Bastien Dalla Piazza, Arash Alahgholipour Omrani, Nikolay Tsyrulin

High-temperature superconductivity remains arguably the greatest enigma of condensed matter physics. The discovery of iron-based high-temperature superconductors [1, 2] has renewed the importance of understanding superconductivity in materials susceptible ...
