We conduct a numerical study of the dynamical behavior of a system of three-dimensional "crosses," particles that consist of three mutually perpendicular line segments of length sigma rigidly joined at their midpoints. In an earlier study [W. van Ketel, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 135703 (2005)] we showed that this model has…

CeNbO 4 possesses oxygen hyper-stoichiometry at ambient and moderate temperature. At elevated temperature CeNbO 4+δ is thermally reduced to near stoichiometric CeNbO 4 accompanied by a structural phase transition. Above the phase transition temperature reoxidation of the material occurred in a pure oxygen atmosphere,…

The Chalker-Coddington network model (introduced originally as a model for percolation in the quantum Hall effect) is known to map onto the two-dimensional Dirac equation. Here we show how the network model can be used to solve a scattering problem in a weakly doped graphene sheet connected to heavily doped electron r…
