Resistive wall mode and neoclassical tearing mode coupling in rotating tokamak plasmas
A model system of equations has been derived to describe a toroidally rotating tokamak plasma, unstable to Resistive Wall Modes (RWMs) and metastable to Neoclassical Tearing Modes (NTMs), using a linear RWM model and a nonlinear NTM model. If no wall is present, the NTM growth shows the typical threshold/saturation isl...

Memory Effect and Triplet Pairing Generation in the Superconducting Exchange Biased Co/CoOx/Cu41Ni59/Nb/Cu41Ni59 Layered Heterostructure
We fabricated a nanolayered hybrid superconductor-ferromagnet spin-valve structure, the resistive state of which depends on the preceding magnetic field polarity. The effect is based on a strong exchange bias (about -2 kOe) on a diluted ferromagnetic copper-nickel alloy and generation of a long range odd in frequency t...

Tunneling at $ν_T=1$ in Quantum Hall Bilayers
Interlayer tunneling measurements in the strongly correlated bilayer quantized Hall phase at $\nu_T=1$ are reported. The maximum, or critical current for tunneling at $\nu_T=1$, is shown to be a well-defined global property of the coherent phase, insensitive to extrinsic circuit effects and the precise configuration us...

Colossal negative magnetoresistance in a 2D electron gas
We report on a colossal negative magnetoresistance (MR) in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well which, at low temperatures, is manifested by a drop of the resistivity by more than an order of magnitude at a magnetic field $B \approx 1$ kG. In contrast to MR effects discussed earlier, the MR reported here is not parabolic, even at ...

Formation of magnetic moments and resistance upturn at grain boundaries of two-dimensional electron systems
Electronic correlations control the normal state of bulk high-Tc cuprates. Strong correlations also suppress the charge transport through cuprate grain boundaries (GBs). The question then arises if these correlations can produce magnetic states at cuprate GBs. We analyze the formation of local magnetic moments at the G...

Fast Generation of Random Spanning Trees and the Effective Resistance Metric
We present a new algorithm for generating a uniformly random spanning tree in an undirected graph. Our algorithm samples such a tree in expected $\tilde{O}(m^{4/3})$ time. This improves over the best previously known bound of $\min(\tilde{O}(m\sqrt{n}),O(n^{\omega}))$ -- that follows from the work of Kelner and M\k{a}d...
