Mechanical Behavior of Cohesive Soil under Repeated Loading
A new triaxial apparatus which can control the stress condition automatically in a constant mean principal stress under repeated loading was developed, Mechanical behavior of cohesive soils under repeated loading was investigated. Excess pore water pressure generated in loading cycles was measured and the experimental results were interpreted in terms of effective stress by using elasto-plastic models
Small Angle Crab Compensation for LHC IR Upgrade
A small angle crab scheme is being considered for the LHC luminosity upgrade. In this paper we present a 400MHz superconducting cavity design and discuss the pertinent RF challenges. We also present a study on the beam-beam performance and proton-beam emittance growth in the presence of crab compensation, with RF noise sources
Electronic structures of doped anatase : (M=Co, Mn, Fe, Ni)
We have investigated electronic structures of a room temperature diluted
magnetic semiconductor : Co-doped anatase . We have obtained the
half-metallic ground state in the local-spin-density approximation(LSDA) but
the insulating ground state in the LSDA++SO incorporating the spin-orbit
interaction. In the stoichiometric case, the low spin state of Co is realized
with the substantially large orbital moment. However, in the presence of oxygen
vacancies near Co, the spin state of Co becomes intermediate. The
ferromagnetisms in the metallic and insulating phases are accounted for by the
double-exchange-like and the superexchange mechanism, respectively. Further,
the magnetic ground states are obtained for Mn and Fe doped ,
while the paramagnetic ground state for Ni-doped .Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
