The Gamow Golden Rule of Multichannel Resonances
Rafael de la Madrid, Rodolfo Id Betan
We construct the Gamow Golden Rule of multichannel scattering, and use it to obtain the decay distributions, the partial decay constants, the partial decay widths, and the branchin…
The Gamow and the Fermi Golden Rules
Rafael de la Madrid
By using the fact that the Gamow states in the momentum representation are square integrable, we obtain the differential and the total decay width of a two-body, non-relativistic d…
On the lack of influence of contact area on the solid-liquid lateral retention force
Rafael de la Madrid, Caleb Gregory, Huy Luong +1
We experimentally show that, unlike the solid-solid frictional force, the solid-liquid retention force is determined by interactions at the triple line rather than over the solid-l…
Reply to Comment on "Comparison of the Lateral Retention Forces on Sessile,Pendant, and Inverted Sessile Drops"
Rafael de la Madrid, Fabian Garza, Justin Kirk +4
We address the issues raised in [R. Tadmor et al., Langmuir 2020, 36, 475-476]. In particular, we explain why we did not use Tadmor's theory to explain our results.
Comparison of the lateral retention forces on sessile, pendant, and inverted sessile drops
Rafael de la Madrid, Fabian Garza, Justin Kirk +4
We compare the lateral retention forces on sessile drops (which are drops that are placed on top of a solid surface), pendant drops (which are drops that are placed on the undersid…
