Branching Bisimilarity with Explicit Divergence

Rob van Glabbeek, Bas Luttik, Nikola Trcka

We consider the relational characterisation of branching bisimilarity with explicit divergence. We prove that it is an equivalence and that it coincides with the original definitio…

Size dependent exciton g-factor in self-assembled InAs/InP quantum dots

N. A. J. M. Kleemans, J. van Bree, M. Bozkurt +6

We have studied the size dependence of the exciton g-factor in self-assembled InAs/InP quantum dots. Photoluminescence measurements on a large ensemble of these dots indicate a mul…

Correlation between magnetism and spin-dependent transport in CoFeB alloys

P. V. Paluskar, R. Lavrijsen, M. Sicot +3

We report a correlation between the spin polarization of the tunneling electrons (TSP) and the magnetic moment of amorphous CoFeB alloys. Such a correlation is surprising since the…

A critical re-examination of resonant soft x-ray Bragg forbidden reflections in magnetite

S. B. Wilkins, S. Di Matteo, T. A. W. Beale +6

Magnetite, FeO, displays a highly complex low temperature crystal structure that may be charge and orbitally ordered. Many of the recent experimental claims of such orderin…

Is the thermodynamic behavior of the noble fluids consistent with the Principle of Corresponding States?

V. L. Kulinskii, N. P. Malomuzh, O. I. Matvejchuk

The applicability of the Principle of Corresponding States (PCS) for the noble fluids is discussed. We give the thermodynamic evidences for the dimerization of the liquid phase in…

Trek separation for Gaussian graphical models

Seth Sullivant, Kelli Talaska, Jan Draisma

Gaussian graphical models are semi-algebraic subsets of the cone of positive definite covariance matrices. Submatrices with low rank correspond to generalizations of conditional in…

Well-posedness of a parabolic moving-boundary problem in the setting of Wasserstein gradient flows

Jacobus W. Portegies, Mark A. Peletier

We develop a gradient-flow framework based on the Wasserstein metric for a parabolic moving-boundary problem that models crystal dissolution and precipitation. In doing so we deriv…

A study of the possibility of sprites in the atmospheres of other planets

Yoav Yair, Yukihiro Takahashi, Roy Yaniv +2

Sprites are a spectacular type of transient luminous events (TLE) which occur above thunderstorms immediately after lightning. They have shapes of giant jellyfish, carrots or colum…

Acceleration statistics of finite-sized particles in turbulent flow: the role of Faxen forces

Enrico Calzavarini, Romain Volk, Mickael Bourgoin +3

The dynamics of particles in turbulence when the particle-size is larger than the dissipative scale of the carrier flow is studied. Recent experiments have highlighted signatures o…

Effective medium approach for stiff polymer networks with flexible cross-links

C. P. Broedersz, C. Storm, F. C. MacKintosh

Recent experiments have demonstrated that the nonlinear elasticity of in vitro networks of the biopolymer actin is dramatically altered in the presence of a flexible cross-linker s…

Non-oriented solutions of the eikonal equation

Mark A. Peletier, Marco Veneroni

We study a new formulation for the eikonal equation |grad u| =1 on a bounded subset of R^2. Instead of a vector field grad u, we consider a field P of orthogonal projections on 1-d…

Atomic quasi-Bragg diffraction in a magnetic field

K. F. E. M. Domen, M. A. H. M. Jansen, W. van Dijk +1

We report on a new technique to split an atomic beam coherently with an easily adjustable splitting angle. In our experiment metastable helium atoms in the |{1s2s}^3S_1 M=1> state…

Streamers, sprites, leaders, lightning: from micro- to macroscales

Ute Ebert, Davis D. Sentman

"Streamers, sprites, leaders, lightning: from micro- to macroscales" was the theme of a workshop in October 2007 in Leiden, The Netherlands; it brought researchers from plasma phys…

Prandtl-, Rayleigh-, and Rossby-number dependence of heat transport in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection

Jin-Qiang Zhong, Richard J. A. M. Stevens, Herman J. H. Clercx +3

Experimental and numerical data for the heat transfer as a function of the Rayleigh-, Prandtl-, and Rossby numbers in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection are presented. F…

Predicting scattering properties of ultracold atoms: adiabatic accumulated phase method and mass scaling

B. J. Verhaar, E. G. M. van Kempen, S. J. J. M. F. Kokkelmans

Ultracold atoms are increasingly used for high precision experiments that can be utilized to extract accurate scattering properties. This calls for a stronger need to improve on th…

Implementation of on-site velocity boundary conditions for D3Q19 lattice Boltzmann

Martin Hecht, Jens Harting

On-site boundary conditions are often desired for lattice Boltzmann simulations of fluid flow in complex geometries such as porous media or microfluidic devices. The possibility to…

A CM construction for curves of genus 2 with p-rank 1

Laura Hitt O'Connor, Gary McGuire, Michael Naehrig +1

We construct Weil numbers corresponding to genus-2 curves with -rank 1 over the finite field $\F_{p^2}$ of elements. The corresponding curves can be constructed using expl…

Interaction-Flip Identities in Spin Glasses

Pierluigi Contucci, Cristian Giardina, Claudio Giberti

We study the properties of fluctuation for the free energies and internal energies of two spin glass systems that differ for having some set of interactions flipped. We show that t…
