Nuclear magnetic resonance, through observation of chemical shift, allows the separate identification of each atom in a molecule. Thus, NMR spectra impart an often unrivaled wealth of information on molecular structure. A particular advantage of NMR spectroscopy is the ability to record multidimensional spectra, which…

Circularly polarized emission from helical MOPV4 aggregates is studied theoretically based on a Hamiltonian including excitonic coupling, exciton phonon coupling, and site disorder. The latter is modeled via a Gaussian distribution of site energies. The frequency dependence of the circularly polarized luminescence dis…

Ultrathin MgB2 films were fabricated by using a co-evaporation method. We increased the Mg evaporation rate up to 32 nm s−1 by adjusting the chamber configuration and succeeded in fabricating MgB2 thin films with high quality at a high substrate temperature of 350 °C. The thickness dependence of the thin film characte…

Abstract This paper suggests a new method to detect the location and the extent of the winding buckling which is based on the transfer function (TF) estimation using the vector fitting (VF) method. To study the proposed method, the verified detailed model of the transformer winding in the frequency range of kHz < f <…

We derive an analytic form of the Wang-Govind-Carter (WGC) [Wang et al., Phys. Rev. B 60, 16350 (1999)] kinetic energy density functional (KEDF) with the density-dependent response kernel. A real-space aperiodic implementation of the WGC KEDF is then described and used in linear scaling orbital-free density functional…
