Phase-Controlled Force and Magnetization Oscillations in Superconducting Ballistic Nanowires
The emergence of superconductivity-induced phase-controlled forces in the
(0.01-0.1) nN range, and of magnetization oscillations, in nanowire junctions,
is discussed. A giant magnetic response to applied weak magnetic fields, is
predicted in the ballistic Josephson junction formed by a superconducting tip
and a surface, bridged by a normal metal nanowire where Andreev states form.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Modelling of PFC Life-Time in Tokamak Fusion Reactor (KIT Scientific Reports ; 7612)
The performance of materials in fusion reactor DEMO has long been recognized as fundamental issue affecting the ultimate technological and economic feasibility of fusion power. Many factors influence the choice of a functional and structural material in a fusion reactor. Three effects limit component lifetime in the steady-state operation: radiation damage, disruptions, and sputtering erosion. Our design strategy is to determine the structure and coating thickness, which maximize component life
Design Strategy for the PFC in DEMO Reactor (KIT Scientific Reports ; 7637)
The performance of the plasma facing components (PFC) and materials in fusion reactor DEMO are fundamental issues affecting the ultimate technological and economic feasibility of fusion power. Many factors influence the choice of a functional and structural material in a fusion reactor. Component lifetime is mainly limited by radiation damage, disruptions, and sputtering erosion. Our design strategy is to determine the structure and coating thicknesses, which maximize component lifetime against all life limitations
A Magnetic-Field-Effect Transistor and Spin Transport
A magnetic-field-effect transistor is proposed that generates a
spin-polarized current and exhibits a giant negative magnetoresitance. The
device consists of a nonmagnetic conducting channel (wire or strip) wrapped, or
sandwiched, by a grounded magnetic shell. The process underlying the operation
of the device is the withdrawal of one of the spin components from the channel,
and its dissipation through the grounded boundaries of the magnetic shell,
resulting in a spin-polarized current in the nonmagnetic channel. The device
may generate an almost fully spin-polarized current, and a giant negative
magnetoresistance effect is predicted.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
{μ-5-[1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-3H-imidazolium-2-yl]-2-(2-oxoethenyl-1κC 1)furan-3-yl-2κC 3}-μ-hydrido-bis(tetracarbonylrhenium) tetrahydrofuran 0.67-solvate
The title complex, [Re2(C27H25N2O2)H(CO)8]·0.67C4H8O, was formed as a product in the reaction of a rhenium(I)–Fischer carbene complex with a free NHC carbene. The coordination environment about the two Re atoms is slightly distorted octahedral, including a bridging H atom. The imidazolium and furan groups are almost coplanar, whereas the mesityl substituents show an almost perpendicular arrangement with respect to both heterocyclic units. Molecules of the complex pack in such a way as to form channels parallel with the bc unit-cell face diagonal running through the unit face diagonal. These channels are partially occupied by tetrahydrofuran solvent molecules
Four electrons in a two-leg Hubbard ladder: exact ground states
In the case of a two-leg Hubbard ladder we present a procedure which allows
the exact deduction of the ground state for the four particle problem in
arbitrary large lattice system, in a tractable manner, which involves only a
reduced Hilbert space region containing the ground state. In the presented
case, the method leads to nine analytic, linear, and coupled equations
providing the ground state. The procedure which is applicable to few particle
problems and other systems as well is based on an r-space representation of the
wave functions and construction of symmetry adapted orthogonal basis wave
vectors describing the Hilbert space region containing the ground state. Once
the ground state is deduced, a complete quantum mechanical characterization of
the studied state can be given. Since the analytic structure of the ground
state becomes visible during the use of the method, its importance is not
reduced only to the understanding of theoretical aspects connected to exact
descriptions or potential numerical approximation scheme developments, but is
relevant as well for a large number of potential technological application
possibilities placed between nano-devices and quantum calculations, where the
few particle behavior and deep understanding are important key aspects to know.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figure
