The phase-switch Monte Carlo method of Wilding and Bruce [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 5138 (2000)] is extended to enable calculation of solid-liquid phase coexistence for soft potentials. The method directly accesses coexistence information about a system while avoiding simulation of the interfacial region. Order parameters…

We discuss the effect of a molecular Bose condensate on the energy of Fermi excitations in a trapped two-component atomic Fermi gas. The single-particle Green's functions can be approximated by the well-known BCS form, in both the BCS (Cooper pairs) and BEC (Feshbach resonance molecules) domains. The composite Bose or…

New telechelic polyisobutylenes (PIB) with hydrogen-bonding motifs were prepared. Nucleobases such as thymine, uracil, and cytosine as well as chelate-type hydrogen-bonding donor−acceptors were affixed onto the end groups of the PIB. Starting with PIB of defined molecular weight, prepared by living cationic polymeriza…

Abstract Coalescence filtration is very effective for the separation of secondary emulsions that contain water droplets with diameters less than 50 μm. The factors that control the performance of coalescer filter media are fiber size and wettability. High wettability materials for water‐in‐oil dispersion promote coale…

A novel collective excitation is predicted to exist at metal surfaces where a two-dimensional surface-state band coexists with the underlying three-dimensional continuum. This is a low-energy acoustic plasmon with linear dispersion at small wave vectors. Since new modern spectroscopies are especially sensitive to surf…

Spin valve ultrafast spin injection devices are described: an amplifier, a frequency multiplier, and a square-law detector. Their operation is based on injection of spin polarized electrons from one ferromagnet to another through a semiconductor layer and spin precession of the electrons in the semiconductor layer in…

Nitrogen-doped $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ nanowires (GaO NWs) were prepared by annealing the as-grown nanowires in an ammonia atmosphere. The optical properties of the nitrogen-doped GaO NWs were studied by measurements of the photoluminescence and phosphorescence decay at the…

Photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra are obtained from individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Individual SWNT spectra are compared with spectra from ensembles. The PL spectrum of an individual SWNT in air at room temperature has a single asymmetric peak of width typically 1…

A simple empirical model and approach are introduced for calculation of the vibrational spectra of arbitrary single wall carbon nanotubes. Differently from the frequently used force constants description, the model employs only invariant quantities such as variations of lengths and angles. All the salient qualitative…

We employ the dynamical mean field approximation to perform a systematic study of magnetism in Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs. Our model incorporates the effects of the strong spin-orbit coupling on the J=3/2 GaAs valence bands and of the exchange interaction between the randomly distributed magnetic ions and the itinerant holes. The…
