The Transition to a Coresidential Partnership:Who Moves and Who Has the Partner Move In?
Moving into a joint household is an important step in the process of union formation. While a growing body of literature investigates differences between those couples who start coresidence and those who do not, we know little about the likelihood of moving upon the start of coresidence. The aim of this paper is to investigate how individual and couple-level characteristics are associated with moving, or having a partner move in, at the start of coresidence. We use data from 10 waves of the German Family Panel pairfam for those who started coresidence (n = 983) and estimate logistic regression models of moving versus having a partner move in. The respondents in the sample are quite young with a mean age of 27. For long-distance relationships, those with a higher level of education than their partner and women who were living in close proximity to their parents were less likely to move. In short-distance relationships, respondents living in the parental home or in crowded housing were more likely to move than those living in uncrowded housing. In contrast with previous research, we did not find that women were more likely to move than men. Our results highlight that factors like educational resources, housing demands, and local family ties have differential effects on moving decisions at the start of coresidence depending on the distance moved
Chiral sedimentation of extended objects in viscous media
We study theoretically the chirality of a generic rigid object's
sedimentation in a fluid under gravity in the low Reynolds number regime. We
represent the object as a collection of small Stokes spheres or stokeslets, and
the gravitational force as a constant point force applied at an arbitrary point
of the object. For a generic configuration of stokeslets and forcing point, the
motion takes a simple form in the nearly free draining limit where the
stokeslet radius is arbitrarily small. In this case, the internal hydrodynamic
interactions between stokeslets are weak, and the object follows a helical path
while rotating at a constant angular velocity about a fixed axis. This
is independent of initial orientation, and thus constitutes a chiral
response for the object. Even though there can be no such chiral response in
the absence of hydrodynamic interactions between the stokeslets, the angular
velocity obtains a fixed, nonzero limit as the stokeslet radius approaches
zero. We characterize empirically how depends on the placement of the
stokeslets, concentrating on three-stokeslet objects with the external force
applied far from the stokeslets. Objects with the largest are aligned
along the forcing direction. In this case, the limiting varies as the
inverse square of the minimum distance between stokeslets. We illustrate the
prevalence of this robust chiral motion with experiments on small macroscopic
objects of arbitrary shape.Comment: 35 pages, 10 figures; Section VII.A redone and other edits made for

Unusual electronic ground state of a prototype cuprate: band splitting of single CuO_2-plane Bi_2 Sr_(2-x) La_x CuO_(6+delta)
By in-situ change of polarization a small splitting of the Zhang-Rice singlet
state band near the Fermi level has been resolved for optimum doped (x=0.4)
BiSrLaCuO at the (pi,0)-point (R.Manzke et al.
PRB 63, R100504 (2001). Here we treat the momentum dependence and lineshape of
the split band by photoemission in the EDC-mode with very high angular and
energy resolution. The splitting into two destinct emissions could also be
observed over a large portion of the major symmetry line M, giving the
dispersion for the individual contributions. Since bi-layer effects can not be
present in this single-layer material the results have to be discussed in the
context of one-particle removal spectral functions derived from current
theoretical models. The most prominent are microscopic phase separation
including striped phase formation, coexisting antiferromagnetic and
incommensurate charge-density-wave critical fluctuations coupled to electrons
(hot spots) or even spin charge separation within the Luttinger liquid picture,
all leading to non-Fermi liquid like behavior in the normal state and having
severe consequences on the way the superconducting state forms. Especially the
possibilty of observing spinon and holon excitations is discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Coupling to a phononic mode in : Angle-resolved photoemission
The kink in the dispersion and the drop in the width observed by
angle-resolved photoemission in the nodal direction of the Brillouin zone of
(abbreviated as (Pb)Bi2212) has
attracted broad interest [1-3]. Surprisingly optimally lead-doped (Pb)Bi2212
with as well as the shadow band were not investigated so
far, although the origin of the kink and the drop is still under strong debate.
In this context a resonant magnetic-mode scenario and an electron-phonon
coupling scenario are discussed controversially. Here we analyze the relevant
differences between both scenarios and conclude that the kink and the drop are
caused by a coupling of the electronic system to a phononic mode at least in
the nodal direction. It is found that besides the dispersion and the drop in
the width also the peak height as a new criterion can be used to define the
energy scale of the interaction, giving a new means for a precise and
consistent determination of the kink energy
Systematic X-ray absorption study of hole doping in BSCCO - phases
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) on the O 1s threshold was applied to
Bi-based, single crystalline high temperature superconductors (HTc's), whose
hole densities in the CuO2 planes was varied by different methods. XAS gives
the intensity of the so-called pre-peak of the O 1s line due to the unoccupied
part of the Zhang-Rice (ZR) singlet state. The effects of variation of the
number n of CuO2 - planes per unit cell (n = 1,2,3) and the effect of
La-substitution for Sr for the n = 1 and n = 2 phase were studied
systematically. Furthermore the symmetry of the states could be probed by the
polarization of the impinging radiation.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of SCES2001, Ann

The Non-Trapping Degree of Scattering
We consider classical potential scattering. If no orbit is trapped at energy
E, the Hamiltonian dynamics defines an integer-valued topological degree. This
can be calculated explicitly and be used for symbolic dynamics of
multi-obstacle scattering.
If the potential is bounded, then in the non-trapping case the boundary of
Hill's Region is empty or homeomorphic to a sphere.
We consider classical potential scattering. If at energy E no orbit is
trapped, the Hamiltonian dynamics defines an integer-valued topological degree
deg(E) < 2. This is calculated explicitly for all potentials, and exactly the
integers < 2 are shown to occur for suitable potentials.
The non-trapping condition is restrictive in the sense that for a bounded
potential it is shown to imply that the boundary of Hill's Region in
configuration space is either empty or homeomorphic to a sphere.
However, in many situations one can decompose a potential into a sum of
non-trapping potentials with non-trivial degree and embed symbolic dynamics of
multi-obstacle scattering. This comprises a large number of earlier results,
obtained by different authors on multi-obstacle scattering.Comment: 25 pages, 1 figure Revised and enlarged version, containing more
