AuNx stabilization with interstitial nitrogen atoms: A Density Functional Theory Study
Researchers have been studying 4d and 5d Series Transition Metal Nitrides lately as a result of the experimental production of AuN, PtN, CuN. In this paper, we used the Density Functional Theory (DFT) implementing a pseudopotential plane-wave method to study the incorporation of nitrogen atoms in the face-centered cube (fcc) lattice of gold (Au). First, we took the fcc structure of gold, and gradually located the nitrogen atoms in tetrahedral (TH) and octahedral (OH) interstitial sites. AuN stabilized in: 2OH (30%), 4OH and 4TH (50%), 4OH - 2TH (close to the wurtzite structure) and 6TH (60%). This leads us to think that AuN behaves like a Transition Metal Nitride since the nitrogen atoms look for tetrahedral sites. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd
Pion's valence-quark GPD and its extension beyond DGLAP region
We briefly report on a recent computation, with the help of a fruitful
algebraic model, sketching the pion valence dressed-quark generalized parton
distribution and, very preliminary, discuss on a possible avenue to get
reliable results in both Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) and
Efremov-Radyushkin-Brodsky-Lepage (ERBL) kinematial regions.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, contribution to 21st International conference on

Numerical and experimental study of the effects of noise on the permutation entropy
We analyze the effects of noise on the permutation entropy of dynamical
systems. We take as numerical examples the logistic map and the R\"ossler
system. Upon varying the noise strengthfaster, we find a transition from an
almost-deterministic regime, where the permutation entropy grows slower than
linearly with the pattern dimension, to a noise-dominated regime, where the
permutation entropy grows faster than linearly with the pattern dimension. We
perform the same analysis on experimental time-series by considering the
stochastic spiking output of a semiconductor laser with optical feedback.
Because of the experimental conditions, the dynamics is found to be always in
the noise-dominated regime. Nevertheless, the analysis allows to detect
regularities of the underlying dynamics. By comparing the results of these
three different examples, we discuss the possibility of determining from a time
series whether the underlying dynamics is dominated by noise or not
A brief comment on the similarities of the IR solutions for the ghost propagator DSE in Landau and Coulomb gauges
This brief note is devoted to reconcile the conclusions from a recent
analysis of the IR solutions for the ghost propagator Dyson-Schwinger equations
in Coulomb gauge with previous studies in Landau gauge.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
