Novel pinning phenomena in a superconducting film with a square lattice of artificial pinning centers
Z. Jiang, D. A. Dikin, V. V. Metlushko +2
We study the transport properties of a superconducting Nb film with a square lattice of artificial pinning centers (APCs) as a function of dc current, at a temperature close to the…
The gap-tooth scheme for homogenization problems
Giovanni Samaey, Dirk Roose, Ioannis G. Kevrekidis
An important class of problems exhibits smooth behaviour in space and time on a macroscopic scale, while only a microscopic evolution law is known. For such time-dependent multi-sc…
Enhancing a Search Algorithm to Perform Intelligent Backtracking
Maurice Bruynooghe
This paper illustrates how a Prolog program, using chronological backtracking to find a solution in some search space, can be enhanced to perform intelligent backtracking. The enha…
Central limit theorems for the large-spin asymptotics of quantum spins
Tom Michoel, Bruno Nachtergaele
We use a generalized form of Dyson's spin wave formalism to prove several central limit theorems for the large-spin asymptotics of quantum spins in a coherent state.
The Role of Nonlocality in the Pinning Properties of Borocarbides Materials
A. V. Silhanek, J. R. Thompson, L. Civale +2
An experimental review on the influence of nonlocal electrodynamics in the vortex pinning properties of non-magnetic borocarbide superconductors is presented. We show that the pinn…
Determining the Metallicity of Cepheid Stars in the SMC, LMC and the Galaxy
M. Mottini, F. Primas, M. Romaniello +1
The Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation is unquestionably one of the most powerful tools at our disposal for determining the extragalactic distance scale. While significant progress…
