Functional methods in the theory of magnetoimpurity states of electrons in quantum wires
Functional methods are used to study magnetoimpurity states of electrons in
nanostructures. The Keldysh formalism is applied to these states. The theory is
illustrated using a quantum wire sample with impurity atoms capable of
localizing electrons in a magnetic field. The characteristics of
magnetoimpurity states of electrons in the wire are calculated using the model
of a Gaussian separable potential.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figur

Acoustic Cyclotron Resonance and Giant High Frequency Magnetoacoustic Oscillations in Metals with Locally Flattened Fermi Surface
We consider the effect of local flattening on the Fermi surface (FS) of a
metal upon geometric oscillations of the velocity and attenuation of ultrasonic
waves in the neighborhood of the acoustic cyclotron resonance. It is shown that
such peculiarities of the local geometry of the FS can lead to a significant
enhancement of both cyclotron resonance and geometric oscillations.
Characteristic features of the coupling of ultrasound to shortwave cyclotron
waves arising due to the local flattening of the FS are analyzed.

Understanding people\u27s experiences of the formal health and social care system for co-occurring heavy alcohol use and depression through the lens of relational autonomy: A qualitative study
Optically pure heterobimetallic helicates from self-assembly and click strategies
Single diastereomer, diamagnetic, octahedral Fe(II) tris chelate complexes are synthesised that contain three pendant pyridine proligands pre-organised for coordination to a second metal. They bind Cu(I) and Ag(I) with coordination geometry depending on the identity of the metal and the detail of the ligand structure, but for example homohelical (ÎFe,ÎCu) configured systems with unusual trigonal planar Cu cations are formed exclusively in solution as shown by VT-NMR and supported by DFT calculations. Similar heterobimetallic tris(triazole) complexes are synthesised via clean CuAAC reactions at a tris(alkynyl) complex, although here the configurations of the two metals differ (ÎFe,ÎCu), leading to the first optically pure heterohelicates. A second series of Fe complexes perform less well in either strategy as a result of lack of preorganisation
Protocol for a national monthly survey of alcohol use in England with 6-month follow-up: 'The Alcohol Toolkit Study'.
Timely tracking of national patterns of alcohol consumption is needed to inform and evaluate strategies and policies aimed at reducing alcohol-related harm. Between 2014 until at least 2017, the Alcohol Toolkit Study (ATS) will provide such tracking data and link these with policy changes and campaigns. By virtue of its connection with the 'Smoking Toolkit Study' (STS), links will also be examined between alcohol and smoking-related behaviour

Probing Spin-Charge Relation by Magnetoconductance in One-Dimensional Polymer Nanofibers
Polymer nanofibers are one-dimensional organic hydrocarbon systems containing
conducting polymers where the non-linear local excitations such as solitons,
polarons and bipolarons formed by the electron-phonon interaction were
predicted. Magnetoconductance (MC) can simultaneously probe both the spin and
charge of these mobile species and identify the effects of electron-electron
interactions on these nonlinear excitations. Here we report our observations of
a qualitatively different MC in polyacetylene (PA) and in polyaniline (PANI)
and polythiophene (PT) nanofibers. In PA the MC is essentially zero, but it is
present in PANI and PT. The universal scaling behavior and the zero (finite) MC
in PA (PANI and PT) nanofibers provide evidence of Coulomb interactions between
spinless charged solitons (interacting polarons which carry both spin and
charge)
