Channeled propagation of solar particles
Bartley (1966) and McCracken and Ness (1966) identified bundles of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) lines that differed in direction from the interplanetary field lines in which they were imbedded. These bundles, called filaments differed in direction by as much as several tens of degrees from the surrounding field. The filaments werre first noticed due to the large and sudden change in flow direction of highly anisotropic solar flare protons in the energy range 1 to 13 MeV. Passage of the filaments over the spacecraft required a few hours, implying a diameter for the filaments of approximately 3 x 10 to the 6th power km at a distance of 1 AU from the Sun. In 1968, Jakipii and Parker used Leighton's hypothesis of random walk of magnetic field lines associated with granules and supergranules (1964) to develop a picture of an interplanetary medium composed of a tangle of field lines frozen into the solar wind, but whose feet were carried about by the random motions at the solar surface. Jakipii and Parker noted that using a correlation length of 15,000 km - about the radius of a supergranule - the magnetic structure would be 3 x 10 to the 6th power km in size of the filaments as determined by Bartley and McCracken and Ness. These workers did not find changes in the solar particle intensity, anisotropy ratio or energy spectrum as the spacecraft entered the filament
c-axis transport and phenomenology of the pseudo-gap state in
We measure and analyze the resistivity of
crystals for different doping . We obtain the fraction of carrier
that do not participate to the c-axis
conductivity. All the curves collapse onto a universal curve
when plotted against a reduced temperature
. We find that at the superconducting
transition is doping independent. We also show that a magnetic field up
to 14 T does not affect the degree of localization in the (a,b) planes but
widens the temperature range of the x-scaling by suppressing the
superconducting phase coherence.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.
A study to examine the feasibility of using surface penetrators for mineral exploration
The feasibility of using penetrators in earth applications is examined. Penetrator applications in exploration for mineral resources only is summarized. Instrumentation for future penetrators is described. Portions of this report are incorporated into a more extensive report examining other penetrator applications in exploration for fossil fuels, geothermal resources, and in environmental and engineering problems, which is to be published as a NASA technical publication

Effective Hamiltonian for fermions in an optical lattice across Feshbach resonance
We derive the Hamiltonian for cold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice
across a broad Feshbach resonance, taking into account of both multiband
occupations and neighboring-site collisions. Under typical configurations, the
resulting Hamiltonian can be dramatically simplified to an effective
single-band model, which describes a new type of resonance between the local
dressed molecules and the valence bond states of fermionic atoms at neighboring
sites. On different sides of such a resonance, the effective Hamiltonian is
reduced to either a t-J model for the fermionic atoms or an XXZ model for the
dressed molecules. The parameters in these models are experimentally tunable in
the full range, which allows for observation of various phase transitions.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
