Atomistic and electronic structure of antisite defects in yttrium aluminum garnet: density functional study
First-principles density-functional theory calculations have been performed on the atomistic structure, electronic structure, and distribution of antisite defects (AD) in yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) Y3 Al5 O12. The formations of one and two antisite defects per unit cell are endothermic and the formation energy per defect is lower in 2AD than in 1AD. In the most stable 1AD structure, Y and Al are as close as possible and two oxygen atoms become unbound to Al rising the energy of their (highest) valence levels and introducing a defect level in the gap 0.25 eV above the top of the perfect YAG valence band. The binding energy between the individual substitutional defects YAl and AlY to form 1AD is 0.74 eV. The most stable 2AD structure is made of two single ADs linked together with one AlO6 moiety and it has basically the same electronic structure as the most stable 1AD; it is the only 2AD structure that preserves the inversion center with respect to the unit-cell center. In this case, the binding energy between two single ADs is 0.22 eV
A Farey Tail for Attractor Black Holes
The microstates of 4d BPS black holes in IIA string theory compactified on a
Calabi-Yau manifold are counted by a (generalized) elliptic genus of a (0,4)
conformal field theory. By exploiting a spectral flow that relates states with
different charges, and using the Rademacher formula, we find that the elliptic
genus has an exact asymptotic expansion in terms of semi-classical
saddle-points of the dual supergravity theory. This generalizes the known
"Black Hole Farey Tail" of [1] to the case of attractor black holes.Comment: 36 pages, 3 figures, note adde
Properties of the moon and its environment from lunar magnetometer measurements
Lunar analysis of data from a total of nine lunar magnetometers is described. Results obtained concerning electromagnetic, compositional, and structural properties of the lunar interior are discussed. Specific topics covered include: lunar magnetic permeability and iron abundance; limits on a highly conducting lunar core; lunar electrical conductivity; and internal structure inferred from conductivity and permeability results

Automated water monitor system field demonstration test report. Volume 1: Executive summary
A system that performs water quality monitoring on-line and in real time much as it would be done in a spacecraft, was developed and demonstrated. The system has the capability to determine conformance to high effluent quality standards and to increase the potential for reclamation and reuse of water
