Solids and Supersolids of Three-Body Interacting Polar Molecules on an Optical Lattice

We study the physics of cold polar molecules loaded into an optical lattice in the regime of strong three-body interactions, as put forward recently by Buchler et al. [Nature Phys. 3, 726 (2007)]. To this end, quantum Monte Carlo simulations, exact diagona ...

Intelligent realisation of ground energy

Lyesse Laloui, Hervé Péron, Mathieu Nuth

There is a need to reduce the economic cost of the energy geostructures and increase the efficiency of such systems, which will also rationalise the environmental impact. ...

Characterization of the electron distribution function in an electron-cyclotron driven toroidal plasma

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Francesca Maria Poli

The local properties of the electron energy distribution function are investigated in the electron-cyclotron wave driven toroidal device TORPEX (Fasoli et al 2006 Phys. Plasmas 13 055902). The electron energy distribution function is measured by means of a ...

Design of Gd(III)-Based Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast Agents: Static and Transient Zero-Field Splitting Contributions to the Electronic Relaxation and Their Impact on Relaxivity

André Merbach, Lothar Helm, Alain Borel, Loïck Moriggi

A multiple-frequency (9.4-325 GHz) and variable-temperature (276-320 K) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study on low molecular weight gadolinium(III) complexes for potential use as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents has been performed. ...

On the focusing critical semi-linear wave equation

Joachim Krieger

The wave equation partial derivative tt psi - Delta psi - psi(5) = 0 in R-3 is known to exhibit finite time blowup for data of negative energy. Furthermore, it admits the special static solutions phi(x, a) = (3a)(1/4) (1 + a\x(2))- 1/2 for all a > 0 which ...

Eikonal approximation in AdS/CFT: Conformal partial waves and finite N four-point functions

We introduce the impact parameter representation for conformal field theory correlators of the form A similar to (O1O2O1O2). This representation is appropriate in the eikonal kinematical regime, and approximates the conformal partial wave decomposition in ...

Phase Separation and Flux Quantization in the Doped Quantum Dimer Model on Square and Triangular Lattices

Frédéric Mila

The doped two-dimensional quantum dimer model is investigated by numerical techniques on the square and triangular lattices, with significantly different results. On the square lattice, at small enough doping, there is always a phase separation between an ...

Checkerboard order in the – model on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila, Cédric Weber, Michael Sigrist

We propose that the inhomogeneous patterns seen by STM in some underdoped superconducting cuprates could be related to a bond-order-wave instability of the staggered flux state, one of the most studied “normal” state proposed to compete with the d-wave RVB ...

Multiple-frequency EPR spectra of two aqueous Gd3+ polyaminopolypyridinecarboxylate complexes: a study of high field effects

Lothar Helm, Marinella Mazzanti, Alain Borel, Sabrina Laus

In the search for highly efficient magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, polyaminopolypyridinecarboxylate complexes of Gd3+ have shown unusual properties with both very rapid and very slow electron spin relaxation in solution observed by electron par ...

Towards thermal equilibrium in the Bose-Einstein condensation of microcavity polaritons

Vincenzo Savona, Davide Sarchi

By comparing a kinetic and a thermal-equilibrium theory of polariton Bose-Einstein condensation, we study under what conditions the dynamical condensation under steady-state non-resonant pumping can approach thermal equilibrium. In particular, we study the ...
