We investigate the spectral density of shot noise and current for the system of a quantum dot coupled to Majorana bound states (MBS) employing the nonequilibrium Green's function. The Majorana bound states at the end of the wire strongly affect the shot noise. There are two types of coupling in the system: dot-MBS and…

Three new branched peptides, namely, H-Gly-Dap(H-Gly)-Gly-NH2 (3G), H-His-Dap(H-His)-Gly-NH2 (2HG), and H-Gly-Dap(H-Gly)-His-NH2 (2GH), where Dap stands for the 2,3-diaminopropionic acid residue, were synthesized by solid phase procedures. Because of the junction at Dap these peptides have three available pending arms…

Positron annihilation studies of the subsurface zone constituted during dry sliding in pure titanium are reported. A new type of defect depth profile in this zone, which is not an exponential decay usually reported for other metals and alloys, is observed. Two layers in the subsurface zone are present in this metal. I…

Inhibited passing of reactant and product molecules within the linear pores of nanoporous catalytic materials strongly reduces reactivity. The dependence of the passing propensity P on pore radius R is analyzed utilizing Langevin dynamics to account for solvent effects. We find that P ∼ (R-R(c))(σ), where passing is s…

We study the quantum phases and phase transitions of the Kane-Mele Hubbard (KMH) model on a zigzag ribbon of honeycomb lattice at a finite size via the weak-coupling renormalization group (RG) approach. In the noninteracting limit, the Kane-Mele (KM) model is known to support topological edge states where electrons sh…

In this article, we studied the chain disentanglement process of UHMWPE by petrolatum. As a result of disentanglement of UHMWPE network, the G′/G″ crossover frequency increased, and the plateau modulus decreased. The plateau moduli were shown to exhibit a power law dependence on the polymer volume fraction with the po…
