Black Holes, Cosmological Solutions, Future Singularities, and Their Thermodynamical Properties in Modified Gravity Theorie
(MDPI, 2012-09-18)
Along this review, we focus on the study of several properties of modified
gravity theories, in particular on black-hole solutions and its comparison with those solutions in General Relativity, and on Friedmann–Lemaˆıtr ...
Ab initio molecular dynamics on the electronic Boltzmann equilibrium distribution
(IOP Publishing, 2010-08-31)
We prove that for a combined system of classical and quantum particles, it is possible to describe a dynamics for the classical particles that incorporates in a natural way the Boltzmann equilibrium population for the ...
Electronic properties of graphene grain boundaries
(IOP Publishing, 2014-08-08)
Grain boundaries and defect lines in graphene are intensively studied for their novel electronic and magnetic properties. However, there is not a complete comprehension of the appearance of localized states along these ...
The effects of disorder in dimerized quantum magnets in mean field approximations
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2012-11-07)
We study theoretically the effects of disorder on Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) of bosonic triplon quasiparticles in doped dimerized quantum magnets. The condensation occurs in a magnetic field, where the concentration ...
Giant diamagnetism of gold nanorods
(IOP Publishing, 2014-07-30)
The presence of giant diamagnetism in Au nanorods, NRs, is shown to be a possible consequence of field induced currents in the surface electrons. The distance, Delta , between quantum surface energy levels has been calculated ...
Defect and structural imperfection effects on the electronic properties of BiTeI surfaces
(IOP Publishing, 2014-07-24)
The surface electronic structure of the narrow-gap seminconductor BiTeI exhibits a large Rashba-splitting which strongly depends on the surface termination. Here we report on a detailed investigation of the surface morphology ...
Germanene: a novel two-dimensional germanium allotrope akin to graphene and silicene
(IOP Publishing, 2014-09-09)
We have grown an atom-thin, ordered, two-dimensional multi-phase film in situ through germanium molecular beam epitaxy using a gold (111) surface as a substrate. Its growth is similar to the formation of silicene layers ...
Addressing students' difficulties with Faraday's law: A guided problem solving approach
(Amer Physical, 2014-06-30)
In traditional teaching, the fundamental concepts of electromagnetic induction are usually quickly analyzed, spending most of the time solving problems in a more or less rote manner. However, physics education research has ...
Response of the topological surface state to surface disorder in TlBiSe2
(IOP Publishing, 2015-02-24)
Through a combination of experimental techniques we show that the topmost layer of the topological insulator TlBiSe2 as prepared by cleavage is formed by irregularly shaped Tl islands at cryogenic temperatures and by mobile ...
Occupational exposure to nano-TiO2 in the life cycle steps of new depollutant mortars used in construction
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
The present work is focused on the measurement of workers exposure to nano-TiO2 in the life cycle steps of depollutant mortars. It has been done in the framework of the SCAFFOLD project, which aims at the management of ...
