Modal interpolation program, L215 (INTERP). Volume 1: Engineering and usage
The usage of the Modal Interpolation Program L215 (INTERP) is described. The program uses modal data to form sets of arrays containing interpolation coefficients. The interpolation arrays can then be used to determine displacements at various aerodynamic surface and surface slopes that are parallel and perpendicular to the freestream direction. Five different interpolation methods are available. A description of the data manipulation and the interpolation methods is presented
Classical Simulation of Quantum Fields II
We consider the classical time evolution of a real scalar field in 2
dimensional Minkowski space with a interaction. We compute the
spatial and temporal two-point correlation functions and extract the
renormalized mass of the interacting theory. We find our results are consistent
with the one- and two-loop quantum computation. We also perform Monte Carlo
simulations of the quantum theory and conclude that the classical scheme is
able to produce more accurate results with a fraction of the CPU time.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures, now matches published versio
Equation modifying program, L219 (EQMOD). Volume 1: Engineering and usage
The analysis and use of the Equation Modifying Program (EQMOD) L219, digital computer program which modifies matrices according to specific instructions was described. The program modifies the theoretical equation of motion and load equations generated by the DYLOFLEX programs Equation of Motion L217 (EOM), and Load Equations, L218 (LOADS), respectively
High temperature glass coatings for superalloys and refractory metals
New glasses are used as protective coatings on metals and alloys susceptible to oxidation at high temperatures in oxidizing atmospheres. Glasses are stable and solid at temperatures up to 1000 deg C, adhere well to metal surfaces, and are usable for metals with broad range of expansion coefficients
A Class of Exact Solutions of the Faddeev Model
A class of exact solutions of the Faddeev model, that is, the modified SO(3)
nonlinear sigma model with the Skyrme term, is obtained in the four dimensional
Minkowskian spacetime. The solutions are interpreted as the isothermal
coordinates of a Riemannian surface. One special solution of the static vortex
type is investigated numerically. It is also shown that the Faddeev model is
equivalent to the mesonic sector of the SU(2) Skyrme model where the baryon
number current vanishes.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figures, refs. adde
Measurement of the Noise Spectrum Using a Multiple-Pulse Sequence
A method is proposed for obtaining the spectrum for noise that causes the
phase decoherence of a qubit directly from experimentally available data. The
method is based on a simple relationship between the spectrum and the coherence
time of the qubit in the presence of a pi-pulse sequence. The relationship is
found to hold for every system of a qubit interacting with the classical-noise,
bosonic, and spin baths.Comment: 8 pages (4 pages + 4 pages Supplemental material), 1 figur
Ballistic transport in induced one-dimensional hole systems
We have fabricated and studied a ballistic one-dimensional p-type quantum
wire using an undoped AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. The absence of modulation
doping eliminates remote ionized impurity scattering and allows high mobilities
to be achieved over a wide range of hole densities, and in particular, at very
low densities where carrier-carrier interactions are strongest. The device
exhibits clear quantized conductance plateaus with highly stable gate
characteristics. These devices provide opportunities for studying spin-orbit
coupling and interaction effects in mesoscopic hole systems in the strong
interaction regime where rs > 10.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures (accepted to Applied Physics Letters
