Electronic and phononic properties of cinnabar: ab initio calculations and some experimental results
M. Cardona, R. K. Kremer, R. Lauck +4
We report ab initio calculations of the electronic band structure, the corresponding optical spectra, and the phonon dispersion relations of trigonal alpha-HgS (cinnabar). The calc…
Pulse propagation in a chain of o-rings with and without precompression
Italo'Ivo Lima Dias Pinto, Alexandre Rosas, Aldo H. Romero +1
We implement a binary collision approximation to study pulse propagation in a chain of o-rings. In particular, we arrive at analytic results from which the pulse velocity is obtain…
Pulse propagation in decorated random chains
Upendra Harbola, Alexandre Rosas, Aldo H. Romero +1
We study pulse propagation in one-dimensional chains of spherical granules decorated with small randomly-sized granules placed between bigger monodisperse ones. Such "designer chai…
