Explanation for the Resistivity Law in Quantum Hall System
We consider a 2D electron system in a strong magnetic field, where the local
Hall resistivity is a function of position and
is small compared to . Particularly if the
correlations fall off slowly with distance, or if fluctuations exist on several
length scales, one finds that the macroscopic longitudinal resistivity
is only weakly dependent on and is approximately proportional to
the magnitude of fluctuations in . This may provide an explanation
of the empirical law where is
the Hall resistance, and is the magnetic field.Comment: 11 pages (REVTeX 3.0). Revised Version. Complete postscript file for

MAGNETOLUMINESCENCE OF n-TYPE ONE-SIDE-MODULATION-DOPED QUANTUM WELLS
Nous rendons compte d'expériences de photoluminescence à basse température (2 K) sur des puits quantiques, GaAs-Ga(Al)As à modulation de dopage, dans des champs magnétiques allant jusqu'à 20 T. La comparaison entre la théorie et l'expérience révèle le fort couplage entre les bandes de valence, des oscillations surprenantes sont observées sur l'énergie des transitions de basse énergie.We report magnetoluminescence experiments in a one-side-modulation-doped quantum well performed at 2 K in field up to 20 T. A comparison between calculations and experiments, points out the strong coupling between the valence subbands. Surprising oscillations are observed on lower lying transitions
Reduction of the environmental impact of aviation via optimisation of aircraft size/range and flight network
REIVON is a Clean Sky 2 Technology Evaluator project that investigates to what extent CO2 emissions of global aviation can be reduced via optimisation of aircraft size/range and flight network. Three alternative global flight networks are created, considering (1) splitting long-haul flights into shorter legs (intermediate stop operations, ISO), (2) reducing frequency to the necessary minimum on busy routes using larger aircraft, and (3) a combination of 1 and 2. In all cases, the use of aircraft optimised for specific combinations of range and seating capacity not existing today will be considered. For the first time, REIVON will carry out a holistic analysis of the impact of an optimised flight network on global air transport system stakeholders, such as passengers, aircraft manufacturers, airlines and airports, and of potential measures to support the implementation of such an alternative network
