Solitons are stable, non-singular solutions to the classical equations of motion of non-linear field theory. Their energy is localized and finite and their shape remains unaltered during propagation. For this reason they represent particle-like states in f ...
Granular media composed of elongated particles rearrange and order vertically upon vertical vibration. We perform pseudo-two-dimensional discrete element model simulations and show that this phenomenon takes place also with no help from vertical walls. We ...
We studied systematically aqueous suspensions of amorphous well-characterized silica particles by potentiometric titration, electrophoretic mobility, and time-resolved light scattering. Their charging behavior and aggregation rate constants were measured a ...
Starting from the quantum statistical master equation derived in [1] we show how the connection to the semi-classical Boltzmann equation (SCBE) can be established and how irreversibility is related to the problem of separability of quantum mechanics. Our p ...
We present the study of the radiative penguin Bs0 → ϕγ and Bs0 → γγ decays and the resonant B+ → K+h → K+γγ decays. We use data samples recorded at the Υ(4S) and Υ(5S) resonances with the Belle detector at KEKB, an electron-positron collider located ...
In this thesis the Cauchy problem and in particular the question of singularity formation for co--rotational wave maps from 3+1 Minkowski space to the three--sphere S3 is studied. Numerics indicate that self--similar solutions of this model play a cruci ...
We apply the boundary element method to the analysis of the plasmon response of systems that consist of coupled metallic nanoscatterers. For systems made of two or more objects, the response depends strongly on the individual particle behavior as well as o ...
We report the results of an experimental investigation of segregation in a binary mixture of dry particles subjected to horizontal oscillatory excitation. The thin layer of particles was driven by the stick-slip frictional interaction with the surface of a ...
Sixty-three iron-containing particles from five field campaigns (PELTI, ACE-Asia, MILAGRO (urban location and aloft on NCAR C-130), INTEX-B) were characterized with scanning transmission X-ray microscopy and near-edge X-Ray absorption fine structure L-edge ...
We present results from an extensive experimental investigation into granular segregation of a shallow binary mixture in which particles are driven by frictional interactions with the surface of a vibrating horizontal tray. Three distinct phases of the mix ...
