Competing broken-symmetry and rotationally symmetric spin-singlet states in a few-electron quantum dot in a magnetic field
(2008)On the basis of developed variational many-body approach, within a second quantized formulation, the nature of the ground state of a few-electron system in a parabolic two-dimensional (2D) quantum dot (QD) is theoretically ...

The effect of correlated and point defects on the vortex lattice melting transition in single-crystal YBa2Cu3O7-δ
(1994)The vortex melting transition Tm in several untwinned and twinned crystals is measured resistively in fields up to 8T. A Lindemann criterion for vortex lattice melting is obtained in addition to a sharp hysteresis in the ...

Experimental and theoretical studies on physico-chemical parameters affecting the solubility of phosphogypsum
(2009)Phosphogypsum is a waste by-product of the phosphate fertilizer industry, which is usually disposed in the environment because of its restricted use in industrial applications. Physico-chemical conditions existing in stack ...

Growth and structural characterization of orthorhombic and tetragonal SrCuO2 thin films
(2013)Epitaxial SrCuO2 thin films were grown on (0 0 1) SrTiO 3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition using a stoichiometric target. X-ray diffraction indicated that the SrCuO2 films undergo a structural phase transition as a ...

Local structure and influence of bonding on the phase-change behavior of the chalcogenide compounds K1-xRbxSb5S8
(2007)KSb5S8 and its solid solution analogs with Rb and Tl were found to exhibit a reversible and tunable glass→crystal→glass phase transition. Selected members of this series were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry ...

Modeling of the self-propagating reactions of nickel and aluminum multilayered foils
(2009)In this study, we performed simulations of self-propagating reactions of nanoscale nickel-aluminum multilayers using numerical methods. The model employs two-dimensional heat transfer equations coupled with heat generation ...

N-to-Δ axial transition form factors from lattice QCD
(2007)We evaluate the N to Δ axial transition form factors in lattice QCD with no dynamical sea quarks, with two degenerate flavors of dynamical Wilson quarks, and using domain wall valence fermions with three flavors of staggered ...

A new kinetic term in the phenomenology of layered superconductors
(1993)We show that the Lawrence-Doniach free energy for layered superconductors can be derived from an anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau free energy with a spatially dependent coefficient for the quadratic term. Our derivation indicates ...

Origin of the stabilization of the metastable tetragonal high-pressure phase in SrCuO2 thin films grown on SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition
(2014)In this work we have systematically investigated the evolution of structure and stoichiometry in SrCuO2 films grown on TiO2-terminated SrTiO3 substrates as a function of the substrate temperature. Depending on the growth ...

Phase structure of one-flavour QCD
(1999)We present a study of the deconfinement phase transition of one-flavour QCD, using the multiboson algorithm. The mass of the Wilson fermions relevant for this study is moderately large and the non-Hermitian multiboson ...

Regiospecific Suzuki coupling of 3,5-dichloroisothiazole-4-carbonitrile
(2003)3,5-Dichloroisothiazole-4-carbonitrile 1 reacts with aryl- and methylboronic acids to give in high yields the 3-chloro-5-(aryl and methyl)-isothiazole-4-carbonitrile 2 regiospecifically. The reaction was optimized with ...

Relations of crystal structure to magnetic properties in the quasi-one-dimensional compound PbNi1.88Mg0.12V 2O8
(2004)The crystal structure of the quasi-one-dimensional oxide PbNi 1.88Mg0.12V2O8 has been studied by Rietveld analysis of combined high-resolution neutron and X-ray powder diffraction data at 300K and at low temperatures. The ...

Thermoelectric properties of nanocrystalline PbTe synthesized by mechanical alloying
(2010)In this work, nanocrystalline lead telluride powder was synthesized from high-purity elements by mechanical alloying by means of a planetary ball-milling procedure. The milling medium was tungsten carbide, and the diameter ...
