Anomalous spin-dependent behaviour of one-dimensional subbands
We report a new electron interaction effect in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wires.
Using DC-bias spectroscopy, we show that large and abrupt changes occur to the
energies of spin-down (lower energy) states as they populate. The effect is not
observed for spin-up energy states. At B=0, interactions have a pronounced
effect, in the form of the well-known 0.7 Structure. However, our new results
show that interactions strongly affect the energy spectrum at all magnetic
fields, from 0 to 16T, not just in the vicinity of the 0.7 Structure.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
On the Kropholler conjecture
This short note, produced for the volume of conjectures produced on the occasion of Guido Mislin's retirement, describes the status of the Kropholle conjecture which may be viewed as a far reaching generalisation of Stallings' theorem on groups with more than one end
Low-gravity solidification of cast iron and space technology applications
Two types of analyses relating to cast iron solidification were conducted. A theoretical analysis using a computer to predict the cooling versus time relationship throughout the test specimen was performed. Tests were also conducted in a ground-based laboratory to generate a cooling time curve for cast iron. In addition, cast iron was cooled through the solidification period on a KC-135 and an F-104 aircraft while these aircraft were going through a period of low gravity. Future subjects for low gravity tests are enumerated
Approximation properties for discrete groups
We give an overview of approximation properties in the context of operator algebras associated with groups
Carbon in soils
Carbon is the fourth most common element in the galaxy(by mass) but does not even rank in the twelve most abundant elements on Earth. By far the most abundant source of carbon on Earth is in the crust as inorganic rocks such as calcite and limestone in marine and sedimentary deposits. These rocks have taken many millions of years to form. Other major inorganic sources are in the oceans and atmosphere
