The energetics associated to the ferromagnetic, vortex, and onionlike magnetization configurations are explicitly computed in the toroidal geometry. The analysis reveals that the vortex appears to be the most prominent of such states, minimizing total energy in every torus with internal radius r≳10 nm, or even in smal…

A 25-year-old man had complained of sudden fever spikes for two years and his blood tests were within the normal range. In 1993, a surgical biopsy of swollen left inguinal lymph nodes was negative for malignancy, but showed reactive lymphadenitis and widespread sinus histiocytosis. A concomitant needle biopsy of the p…

The authors present a breakthrough multistage dry-etch process to create 100 nm half-pitch gratings in silicon with depths up to 6 μm. Interference lithography was used to pattern gratings in an optically matched stack of materials to form a 400-nm-thick silicon oxide hard-mask. The oxide was then used to mask the sub…

Abstract Heating, ventilating, and air‐conditioning (HVAC) systems ensure indoor air quality and provide a comfortable environment. However, the conventional HVAC systems only provide indoor ventilation and adjust temperature and humidity. This work removes indoor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a feasible and…

We show that for models with nearest-neighbour (nn) hopping, the lattice Green's functions can be calculated without the need to perform integrals. Our method applies to rectangular, triangular and honeycomb lattices in two dimensions, and to simple, face-centered and body-centered lattices in three dimensions. Extern…
