A semi-classical study of muon-enhanced proton-boron-11 fusion
Hong-Yi Wang, Ming-Yu Chen, Hao-Le Ma +1
A recent theoretical study has suggested that muons can enhance proton-boron-11 (p-B) reaction cross-section by several orders of magnitude in the low-energy regime. In this…
Biophysics at the coffee shop: lessons learned working with George Oster
Oleg Igoshin, Jing Chen, Jianhua Xing +9
Over the past 50 years, the use of mathematical models, derived from physical reasoning, to describe molecular and cellular systems has evolved from an art of the few to a cornerst…
Average velocity and effective diffusion of a Brownian particle driven by a constant force over a static periodic potential
Hongyun Wang
In this manuscript, we consider the case where a Brownian particle is subject to a static periodic potential and is driven by a constant force. We derive analytic formulas for the…
Exact solution of a nonlinear optimization problem
Zhixi Bian, Hongyun Wang, Qiaoer Zhou +1
In this manuscript, we solve a nonlinear optimization problem in the study of maximizing cooling temperature using inhomogeneous thermoelectric materials.
