Based on an exact functional form derived for the three-point vertex function $Γ$, we propose a self-consistent calculation scheme for the electron self-energy with $Γ$ always satisfying the Ward identity. This scheme is basically equivalent to the one proposed in 2001, but it is improved in the aspects of computation…

In this paper we discuss effective material parameter description of new nanostructures designed to perform as artificial magnetic materials for vis- ible light. Among these structures there are various split-ring resonators, dual-bar structures, fishnet layers and other geometries. Artificial magnetic response in the…

The class of substitutions of some primitive components is introduced. A bilateral subshift arising from a substitution of some primitive components is decomposed into pairwise disjoint, locally compact, shift-invariant sets, on each of which an invariant Radon measure is unique up to scaling. It is completely charact…

In a recent Letter, Peets, et al. measured the x-ray intensity at the oxygen K-edge in overdoped La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_{4\pmδ}$ (LSCO) and Tl$_2$Ba$_2$CuO$_{6+δ}$. They claimed that, unlike the underdoped samples of LSCO and YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_x$ in which the integrated intensity increases at least linearly with doping, i…

Using density functional theory and LDA+U method, we investigate magnetic and electronic structure of Y$_{2}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ and rare-earth based pyrochlore iridates. Our study reveals that the ground state is a non-collinear magnetic insulating state. Due to strong spin-orbit coupling in Ir 5\textit{d}, there is an u…

This study reports on the synthesis of N-doped carbon spheres (N-CSs) by a simple synthetic \nprocedure. A horizontal CVD type reactor was used to synthesize N-CSs from pyridine. \nDepending on the dilution of the pyridine with toluene, a nitrogen content of 0.13-5 mol % was \nobtained. The use of a vertical CVD react…

The invisibility cloak has been a long-standing dream for many researchers over the decades. By transforming space and light propagation, a three-dimensional (3D) object can be perceived as having reduced number of dimensions, in the form of points, lines, and thin sheets, making it "undetectable" judging from scatter…

The origin of the anomalous, 400% increase of the piezoelectric coefficient in Sc$_x$Al$_{1-x}$N alloys is revealed. Quantum mechanical calculations show that the effect is intrinsic. It comes from a strong change in the response of the internal atomic coordinates to strain and pronounced softening of C$_{33}$ elastic…

A stringent test for an exchange-correlation approximation in electronic structure calculations is the equality between the ionization energy of the neutral system and the affinity of the singly positively charged system. All of the commonly used approximations (local, semilocal, hybrid) for the exchange correlation w…

Abstract The steel X20CrMoV12.1 has been widely used for the steam pipes in power plants since 1960s. It exhibits a good combination of high‐temperature strength, toughness and creep strength. The microstructure consists of high‐tempered martensite with finely dispersed carbide precipitates along the boundaries of the…

Benthic microalgae sampling in lotic systems is carried out using either artificial or natural substrate. Natural substrate is more suitable for biomass and productivity estimates as well as biodiversity assessment because it contains the communities that are typical of the environment. We present a new gadget for epi…

Two different devices topology are proposed to implement parallel-plate capacitors using Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) thin films. At 1 MHz frequency, the maximum tunability 1.3:1 is obtained with 32 V DC bias. The new topology capacitors have much higher tunability compared with conventional capacitors at the same total capac…
