Zeolites, the original molecular sieves, are built from corner-sharing SiO_4 ^4−and A1O_4 ^5− tetrahedra and contain regular systems of intracrys...

Highly oriented polymer fibers can be manufactured in various ways involving different regimes of deformation. Two processes and two different mechanisms of orientation are discussed. The first is strain orientation in a plastic solid subjected to slow deformation. The example of industrial processes include cold-drawi...

This is the first in a series of papers on a consistent microscopic theory of transverse dynamics in spin-polarized or binary Fermi liquids. We start from exact microscopic equations in Green's functions at zero temperatures and consider slightly inhomogeneous perturbations. The transverse dynamics is described by an i...

Human serum albumin has been studied at low hydration level by the ESR spin labelling technique, under the assumption that a covalently bound spin-label is a reporter of the protein internal dynamics. At room temperature, the presence of a double component signal allowed us to monitor the influence of increasing hydrat...

Subdomain partitioning of n-fold fields associated with S _ n -scalar invariants of Rota-Cayley algebra and enumerative combinatorias are shown to provide direct access to the hierarchical substructure (inventory) of higher identical spin clusters.

We extend the theorem of Burton and Keane on uniqueness of the infinite component in dependent percolation to cover random graphs on ℤ^ d or ℤ^ d × ℕ with long-range edges. We also study a short-range percolation model related to nearest-neighbor spin glasses on ℤ^ d or on a slab ℤ^ d × {0,... K } and prove both that p...

The conformal charge is an important quantity which characterizes the nature of the two-dimensional phase transition. We report a first attempt to use a new numerical method to calculate the conformal charge. In this paper, we apply our method to the 2-dimensional, φ ^4, continuous-spin Ising model. By varying the para...

A microscopic framework for a generalized Landau theory is established in the form of two coupled equations in “partial transverse densities”. The 4-component effective interaction is related to the irreducible vertex, and not to the full vertex. The results explain the zero-temperature transverse relaxation and attenu...

The sdg interacting boson model (sdgIBM), which includes monopole ( s ), quadrupole ( d ) and hexadecupole ( g ) degrees of freedom, enables one to analyze hexadecupole ( E 4) properties of atomic nuclei.

A model describing the adiabatic dynamics of a paramagnetic ion pair in a simple fluid is presented. A mixed classical-quantum mechanical approach is adopted. The quantum degrees of freedom, i.e. the unpaired electron in our case, are treated via the Time dependent Schrödinger Equation, while the other particle are dea...
