α\alpha-emission channeling investigations of the lattice location of Li in Ge

The $\alpha$-emission channeling and blocking technique is a direct method for lattice site determination of radioactive atoms in single crystals. Position-sensitive detection of emitted $\alpha$ -particles provides an efficient means of carrying out such experiments at very low doses (10$^{10}$-10$^{11}$ implanted probe atoms per spectrum). Comparison of the experimental data to Monte Carlo simulations of complete two-dimensional channeling patterns (e.g. ±2°C around , and axes, which also includes all relevant planar directions) allows for straight-forward identification and rather accurate quantitative determination of occupied lattice sites, while at the same time the energy spectrum of emitted a particles gives information on the probe atom depth distribution. We illustrate this for the case of ion implanted $^8$Li (t_=0.8 s) in Ge, where we identify mainly tetrahedral Li at room temperature, and bond-centered Li at slightly elevated temperature

A simply connected surface of general type with p_g=0 and K^2=2

In this paper we construct a simply connected, minimal, complex surface of general type with p_g=0 and K^2=2 using a rational blow-down surgery and Q-Gorenstein smoothing theory.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures. To appear in Inventiones Mathematica

Role of magnetic anisotropy on the magnetic properties of Ni nanoclusters embedded in a ZnO matrix

We have investigated the magnetic properties of Ni nanoaggregates produced by ion implantation in ZnO single crystals. Several deviations from classical models usually adopted to describe the magnetic properties of nanoparticle systems were found. The strain between host and Ni nanoaggregates induces a magnetic anisotropy with a preferred direction. We show that these anisotropy effects can be misinterpreted as a ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic coupling among the nanoaggregates similar to that of an oriented, interacting nanocrystal ensemble

Optical doping of nitrides by ion implantation

A series of rare earth elements (RE) were implanted in GaN epilayers to study the lattice site location and optical activity. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry in the channeling mode(RBS/C) was used to follow the damage behavior in the Ga sublattice and the site location of the RE. For all the implanted elements (Ce, Pr, Dy, Er, and Lu) the results indicate the complete substitutionality on Ga sites after rapid thermal annealing at 1000°C for 2 min. The only exception occurs for Eu, which occupies a Ga displaced site. Annealing at 1200°C in nitrogen atmosphere at a pressure of IGPa is necessary to achieve the complete recovery of the damage in the samples. After annealing the recombination processes of the implanted samples were studied by above and below band gap excitation. For Er implanted samples besides the 1.54 μm emission green and red emissions are also observed. Red emissions from 5D0→7F2 and 3P0→3F2 transitions were found in Eu and Pr implanted samples even at room temperature

Impact‐based forecasting for pluvial floods

Pluvial floods in urban areas are caused by local, fast storm events with very high rainfall rates, which lead to inundation of streets and buildings before the storm water reaches a watercourse. An increase in frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events and an ongoing urbanization may further increase the risk of pluvial flooding in many urban areas. Currently, warnings for pluvial floods are mostly limited to information on rainfall intensities and durations over larger areas, which is often not detailed enough to effectively protect people and goods. We present a proof-of-concept for an impact-based forecasting system for pluvial floods. Using a model chain consisting of a rainfall forecast, an inundation, a contaminant transport and a damage model, we are able to provide predictions for the expected rainfall, the inundated areas, spreading of potential contamination and the expected damage to residential buildings. We use a neural network-based inundation model, which significantly reduces the computation time of the model chain. To demonstrate the feasibility, we perform a hindcast of a recent pluvial flood event in an urban area in Germany. The required spatio-temporal accuracy of rainfall forecasts is still a major challenge, but our results show that reliable impact-based warnings can be forecasts are available up to 5 min before the peak of an extreme rainfall event. Based on our results, we discuss how the outputs of the impact-based forecast could be used to disseminate impact-based early warnings

Improved perturbation theory in the vortex liquids state of type II superconductors

We develop an optimized perturbation theory for the Ginzburg - Landau description of thermal fluctuations effects in the vortex liquids. Unlike the high temperature expansion which is asymptotic, the optimized expansion is convergent. Radius of convergence on the lowest Landau level is $a_{T}=-3$ in 2D and $a_{T}=-5$ in 3D. It allows a systematic calculation of magnetization and specific heat contributions due to thermal fluctuations of vortices in strongly type II superconductors to a very high precision. The results are in good agreement with existing Monte Carlo simulations and experiments. Limitations of various nonperturbative and phenomenological approaches are noted. In particular we show that there is no exact intersection point of the magnetization curves both in 2D and 3D.Comment: 24 pages, 9 figure
