The appearance of topologically protected states at the surface of an ordinary insulator is a rare occurrence and to date only a handful of materials are known for having this property. An intriguing question concerns the possibility of forming topologically protected interfaces between different materials. Here we pr…

We have measured cross sections for the ionization of the K shell by electrons with energies from the respective thresholds up to 100 keV, for Au and Bi. The experimental values are obtained by dividing the number of counts in the K α peak by the number of counts in an energy interval near the tip of the bremsstrahlun…

Pure surface-tension-driven flow is a unique type of flow that can be controlled through external manipulation of thermal and/or mechanical boundary conditions at the free liquid surface where the entire driving force for the convection is generated. This unique feature has been exploited in recent studies for the act…
