Cylindrical Two-Dimensional Electron Gas in a Transverse Magnetic Field

We compute the single-particle states of a two-dimensional electron gas confined to the surface of a cylinder immersed in a magnetic field. The envelope-function equation has been solved exactly for both an homogeneous and a periodically modulated magnetic field perpendicular to the cylinder axis. The nature and energy dispersion of the quantum states reflects the interplay between different lengthscales, namely, the cylinder diameter, the magnetic length, and, possibly, the wavelength of the field modulation. We show that a transverse homogeneous magnetic field drives carrier states from a quasi-2D (cylindrical) regime to a quasi-1D regime where carriers form channels along the cylinder surface. Furthermore, a magnetic field which is periodically modulated along the cylinder axis may confine the carriers to tunnel-coupled stripes, rings or dots on the cylinder surface, depending on the ratio between the the field periodicity and the cylinder radius. Results in different regimes are traced to either incipient Landau levels formation or Aharonov-Bohm behaviour.Comment: 23 pages, 14 figure

Compressive-decompressive resuscitation with a new device in cardiac patients

The efficacy of compressive-decompressive resuscitation with new device and method in cardiac patients after circulatory arrest was investigated. Comparing to traditional resuscitation methods (Jude J.R., Kouwenhoven W.B., Knickerbocker Y.Y., 1961), efficacy of our original device and methodics was significantly higher. Moreover, it prevented intra-resuscitation traumas of chest osseal components and internal organs
