Effect of High Energy Heavy Ion Irradiation on c-axis Oriented MgB2 Films
R. J. Olsson, W. K. Kwok, G. Karapetrov +8
We report on the transport, magnetization, and scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on c-axis oriented thin films of MgB2 irradiated with high energy heavy ions of uranium…
The Thermodynamics of Social Processes: The Teen Birth Phenomenon
Nicola Scafetta, Patti Hamilton, Paolo Grigolini
We argue that a process of social interest is a balance of order and randomness, thereby producing a departure from a stationary diffusion process. The strength of this effect vani…
Quantum Holographic Teleportation of Light Fields
I. V. Sokolov, M. I. Kolobov, A. Gatti +1
We describe a continious variable teleportation scheme that allows to teleport the quantum state of distributed in space-time multimode electromagnetic field. Our teleportation pro…
Entropy Decrease in Isolated Systems with an Internal Wall undergoing Brownian Motion
B. Crosignani, P. Di Porto
We consider an isolated gaseous system, divided in two parts by an adiabatic movable frictionless internal wall undergoing Brownian motion. We show how this kind of motion can lead…
Determination of optimal effective interactions between amino acids in globular proteins
Giovanni Settanni, Cristian Micheletti, Jayanth Banavar +1
An optimization technique is used to determine the pairwise interactions between amino acids in globular proteins. A numerical strategy is applied to a set of proteins for maximizi…
Polarized Wannier functions: ab-initio study of the dielectric properties of silicon and gallium arsenide
Pablo Fernández, Andrea Dal Corso, Alfonso Baldereschi
We present a first-principles calculation of the electronic properties of crystalline silicon and gallium arsenide in a uniform electric field. Polarized Wannier-like functions whi…
