Signal mixing in a ratchet device: commensurability and current control
(Springer-Verlag; EDP Sciences, Società Italiana di Fisica, and Springer-Verlag, 2004-08)
Rectification current in overdamped ratchets can be easily controlled by applying two driving signals and tuning either their relative phase or their frequency ratio. The interplay of the two inputs generates intriguing ...
Unified Solution of the Expected Maximum of a Discrete Time Random Walk and the Discrete Flux to a Spherical Trap
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2006-03)
Two random-walk related problems which have been studied independently in the past, the expected maximum of a random walker in one dimension and the flux to a spherical trap of particles undergoing discrete jumps in three ...
Physics potential of ATLAS detector with high luminosity
(Springer-Verlag; Società Italiana di Fisica, Springer-Verlag, 2004-07)
The ATLAS detector is designed to exploit the full physics potential in the TeV energy region opened up by the Large Hadron Collider at a center of mass energy of 14 TeV with very high luminosities. The physics performance ...
Antiresonant guiding microstructured optical fibers for sensing applications
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-07)
A novel refractometric sensor utilizing unique spectral properties of antiresonant-guiding microstructured optical fibers is proposed. The sensor operation is based on the wavelength shift of the transmission spectrum in ...
Blowup of Smooth Solutions for Relativistic Euler Equations
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2006-03)
We study the singularity formation of smooth solutions of the relativistic Euler equations in (3 + 1)-dimensional spacetime for both finite initial energy and infinite initial energy. For the finite initial energy case, ...
Regularity of critical invariant circles of the standard nontwist map
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2005-05-01)
We study critical invariant circles of several noble rotation numbers at the edge of break-up for an area-preserving map of the cylinder, which violates the twist condition.These circles admit essentially unique parametrizations ...
Deposition and Properties of Superconducting MgB 2 Thin Films
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-10)
The recently discovered superconductor MgB 2 with T c at 39 K has great potential in superconducting electronics. In this paper, we review the deposition techniques used for MgB 2 thin films in the light of a thermodynamic ...
Ricci-Flat Metrics, Harmonic Forms and Brane Resolutions
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2003-01)
We discuss the geometry and topology of the complete, non-compact, Ricci-flat Stenzel metric, on the tangent bundle of S n+1 . We obtain explicit results for all the metrics, and show how they can be obtained from first-order ...
Anisotropic Diffusion of Neutral Particles in Stochastic Media.
(2009)
This work introduces a new homogenization theory for the transport of particles in stochastic media. This theory utilizes a nonclassical form of the Boltzmann equation in which the locations of the scattering centers in ...
