Year: 1997

description: These State of the Art (SOTA) performance levels apply to newly constructed, reconstructed, or modified bakery ovens and control apparatus.  Catalytic oxidation has been the control of choice by more than 90% of American bakers for controlling volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from bakery ovens.  SOTA emission standards are based upon currently available catalytic oxidation technology.  Emissions from bakery ovens may include VOCs, particulate, and ammonia.  VOC emissions may include hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).  One such HAP, which the State of New Jersey considers to be a carcinogen as well, is acetaldehyde, which is usually emitted in small amounts when yeast leavened products are being baked.  As promulgated in the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act N.J.S.A. 26:2C-9.2C, and as set forth in the implementing regulations of the Air Pollution Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 and N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.35), newly constructed, reconstructed, or modified equipment and control apparatus is required to incorporate advances in the art of air pollution control developed for the kind and amount of air contaminant emitted by the applicant's equipment or control apparatus.  The Air Pollution Control Act of New Jersey directed the Department to publish technical manuals that would include performance levels with respect to air pollution control, to be used by some permit applicants for demonstrating advances in the art of air pollution control.  'Advances in the art of air pollution control' is commonly referred to as 'State-of-the-Art' or SOTA.  SOTA generally includes performance limits that are based on air pollution control technology, pollution prevention methods, and process modifications or substitutions that will provide the greatest emission reductions that are technologically and economically feasible.  There are 17 SOTA manuals included in this series.  They cover the following topics:  volatile organic storage tanks; transfer operations; petroleum refineries; asphalt plants; chemical and pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing industries; degreasers and other solvent based metal surface cleaners; surface coating operations; commercial sterilizers and fumigators using ethylene oxide; municipal wastewater/sludge handling and treatment systems; non-hazardous onsite remediation processes; bakery ovens; broilers; internal combustion engines; stationary gas turbines; glass industry; paint, ink, and adhesive manufacturing industries; graphic arts industry.

description: Detection of single, itinerant microwave photons is an important functionality for emerging quantum technology applications as well as of fundamental interest in quantum thermodynamics experiments on heat transport. In a recent experiment [W. Khan et al., Nat. Commun. 12, 5130 (2021)], it was demonstrated that a double quantum dot (DQD) coupled to a microwave resonator can act as an efficient and continuous photodetector by converting an incoming stream of photons to an electrical photocurrent. In the experiment, average photon and electron flows were analyzed. Here we theoretically investigate, in the same system, the fluctuations of the photocurrent through the DQD for a coherent microwave drive of the resonator. We consider both the low frequency full counting statistics as well as the finite-frequency noise (FFN) of the photocurrent. Numerical results and analytical expressions in limiting cases are complemented by a mean-field approach neglecting dot-resonator correlations, providing a compelling and physically transparent picture of the photocurrent statistics. We find that for ideal, unity efficiency detection, the fluctuations of the charge current reproduce the Poisson statistics of the incoming photons, while the statistics for non-ideal detection is sub-Poissonian. Moreover, the FFN provides information of the system parameter dependence of detector short-time properties. Our results give novel insight into microwave photon-electron interactions in hybrid dot-resonator systems and provide guidance for further experiments on continuous detection of single microwave photons.

description: We introduce the Illustris Project, a series of large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation. The highest resolution simulation, Illustris-1, covers a volume of $(106.5\,{\rm Mpc})^3$, has a dark mass resolution of ${6.26 \times 10^{6}\,{\rm M}_\odot}$, and an initial baryonic matter mass resolution of ${1.26 \times 10^{6}\,{\rm M}_\odot}$. At $z=0$ gravitational forces are softened on scales of $710\,{\rm pc}$, and the smallest hydrodynamical gas cells have an extent of $48\,{\rm pc}$. We follow the dynamical evolution of $2\times 1820^3$ resolution elements and in addition passively evolve $1820^3$ Monte Carlo tracer particles reaching a total particle count of more than $18$ billion. The galaxy formation model includes: primordial and metal-line cooling with self-shielding corrections, stellar evolution, stellar feedback, gas recycling, chemical enrichment, supermassive black hole growth, and feedback from active galactic nuclei. At $z=0$ our simulation volume contains about $40,000$ well-resolved galaxies covering a diverse range of morphologies and colours including early-type, late-type and irregular galaxies. The simulation reproduces reasonably well the cosmic star formation rate density, the galaxy luminosity function, and baryon conversion efficiency at $z=0$. It also qualitatively captures the impact of galaxy environment on the red fractions of galaxies. The internal velocity structure of selected well-resolved disk galaxies obeys the stellar and baryonic Tully-Fisher relation together with flat circular velocity curves. In the well-resolved regime the simulation reproduces the observed mix of early-type and late-type galaxies. Our model predicts a halo mass dependent impact of baryonic effects on the halo mass function and the masses of haloes caused by feedback from supernova and active galactic nuclei.

description: We present numerical simulations that allow us to compute the number of ways in which $N$ particles can pack into a given volume $V$. Our technique modifies the method of Xu et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 245502 (2011)) and outperforms existing direct enumeration methods by more than 200 orders of magnitude. We use our approach to study the system size dependence of the number of distinct packings of a system of up to 128 poly-disperse soft disks. We show that, even though granular particles are distinguishable, we have to include a factor $1/N!$ to ensure that the entropy does not change when exchanging particles between systems in the same macroscopic state. Our simulations provide strong evidence that the packing entropy, when properly defined, is extensive. As different packings are created with unequal probabilities, it is natural to express the packing entropy as $S=-\sum_i p_i\ln p_i -\ln N!$, where $p_i$ denotes the probability to generate the $i$-th packing. We can compute this quantity reliably and it is also extensive. The granular entropy thus (re)defined, whilst distinct from the one proposed by Edwards assumed (J. Phys.: Condens.Matter 2, SA63(1990)), does have all the properties Edwards assumed.

description: This document outlines a general management plan for Lusscroft, a model dairy farm built in 1914-1930. Emphasizing that Lusscroft is symbolic of our vanishing rural heritage and holds a unique place in the Garden State's agricultural history, this document argues that if its attributes were enhanced and properly marketed, Lusscroft could become a thriving destination in the growing market for agri-tourism, eco-tourism, and heritage tourism. Outlined here are the different alternatives for the preservation of Lusscroft for its significant role in New Jersey's agricultural history. The suggested alternatives are: (1) Agricultural heritage center; (2) New state park and agricultural heritage center (the creation of an entirely 'new state park' between Stokes State Forest and High Point State Park); (3) Take no action. Also, additional alternatives exist in the form of the 1st or 2nd alternative with the addition of horseback riding trails or horse boarding stalls on site.

description: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archives constitute a rich dataset of high resolution images to mine for strong gravitational lenses. While many HST programs specifically target strong lenses, they can also be present by coincidence in other HST observations. We aim to identify non-targeted strong gravitational lenses in almost two decades of images from the ESA it Hubble Space Telescope archive (eHST), without any prior selection on the lens properties. We used crowdsourcing on the Hubble Asteroid Hunter (HAH) citizen science project to identify strong lenses, alongside asteroid trails, in publicly available large field-of-view HST images. We visually inspected 2354 objects tagged by citizen scientists as strong lenses to clean the sample and identify the genuine lenses. We report the detection of 252 strong gravitational lens candidates, which were not the primary targets of the HST observations. 198 of them are new, not previously reported by other studies, consisting of 45 A grades, 74 B grades and 79 C grades. The majority are galaxy-galaxy configurations. The newly detected lenses are, on average, 1.3 magnitudes fainter than previous HST searches. This sample of strong lenses with high resolution HST imaging is ideal to follow-up with spectroscopy, for lens modelling and scientific analyses. This paper presents an unbiased search of lenses, which enabled us to find a high variety of lens configurations, including exotic lenses. We demonstrate the power of crowdsourcing in visually identifying strong lenses and the benefits of exploring large archival datasets. This study shows the potential of using crowdsourcing in combination with artificial intelligence for the detection and validation of strong lenses in future large-scale surveys such as ESA's future mission Euclid or in JWST archival images.

description: The boundary of the lemon billiards is defined by the intersection of two circles of equal unit radius with the distance 2B between their centers, as introduced by Heller and Tomsovic in Phys. Today 46 38 (1993). We study two classical and quantum lemon billiards, for the cases B = 0.1953, 0.083, which are mixed-type billiards with complex structure of phase space, without significant stickiness regions. A preliminary study of their spectra was published recently (Physics 1 1-14 (2021)). We calculate a great number $10^6$ of consecutive eigenstates and their Poincaré-Husimi (PH) functions, and analyze their localization properties by studying the entropy localization measure and the normalized inverse participation ratio. We also introduce an overlap index which measures the degree of the overlap of PH functions with classically regular and chaotic regions. We observe the existence of regular states associated with invariant tori and chaotic states associated with the classically chaotic regions, and also the mixed-type states. We show that in accordance with the Berry-Robnik picture and the principle of uniform semiclassical condensation of PH functions the relative fraction of mixed-type states decreases as a power law with increasing energy, thus in the strict semiclassical limit leaving only purely regular and chaotic states. Our approach offers a general very good phenomenological overview of the structural and localization properties of PH functions in quantum mixed-type Hamiltonian systems.

description: We consider a heterostructure consisting of a normal metal and a superconductor separated by a spin-active interface. At finite-bias voltages, spin-filtering and spin-mixing effects at the interface allow for an induced magnetization (spin imbalance) on the superconducting side of the junction, which relaxes to zero in the bulk. Such interfaces are also known to host a pair of in-gap Andreev bound states which were recently observed experimentally. We show that these states are responsible for the dominant contribution to the induced spin imbalance close to the interface. Motivated by recent experiments on spin-charge density separation in superconducting aluminum wires, we propose an alternative way to observe spin imbalance without applying an external magnetic field. We also suggest that the peculiar dependence of the spin imbalance on the applied bias voltage permits an indirect bound-state spectroscopy.

description: Objective: To investigate secular trends in echocardiographically determined left ventricular mass (LVM). Design, setting and participants: Longitudinal community-based cohort study in Framingham, Massachussetts. LVM was calculated from routine echocardiography in 4320 participants (52% women) of the Framingham offspring cohort at examination cycles 4 (1987–1991), 5 (1991–1995), 6 (1995–1998) and 8 (2005–2008), totalling 13 971 person-observations. Main outcome measures: Sex-specific trends in mean LVM (and its components, LV diastolic diameter (LVDD) and LV wall thickness (LVWT)), and LVM indexed to body surface area (BSA). Results: In men, age-adjusted LVM modestly increased from examination 4 to 8 (192 g to 198 g, p-trend=0.0005), whereas, in women it decreased from 147 g at examination 4 to 140 g at examination 8 (p-trend<0.0001). The trend for increasing LVM in men tracked with an increasing LVDD (p-trend=0.0002), whereas the decline in LVM in women was accompanied by a decrease in LVWT (p-trend<0.0001). Indexing LVM to BSA abolished the increasing trend in men (p-trend=0.49), whereas, the decreasing trend in women was maintained. Conclusions: In our longitudinal analysis of a large community-based sample spanning two decades, we observed sex-related differences in trends in LVM, with a modest increase of LVM in men (likely attributable to increasing body size), but a decrease in women. Additional studies are warranted to elucidate the basis for these sex-related differences.

description: We calculate the target normal single-spin asymmetry caused by two-photon exchange in inclusive electron-nucleon scattering in the resonance region. Our analysis uses the $1/N_c$ expansion of low-energy QCD and combines $N$ and $Δ$ intermediate and final states using the contracted $SU(4)$ spin-flavor symmetry. The normal spin asymmetry obtained in leading-order accuracy in $1/N_c$ has magnitude $\sim 10^{-2}$ and different sign in $ep$ and $en$ scattering. It can be measured in electron scattering at lab energies $\sim$ 0.5-1.5 GeV and provides a clean probe of two-photon exchange dynamics.

description: Objectives: The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) as well as the interleukin (IL)-7/IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) system play a role in the pathogenesis of arthritis. However, the target cells and mechanisms involved are not fully resolved. The goal of this study was to determine if B cells are influenced by IL-7 and to investigate the possible interplay between the SNS and the IL-7/IL-7R system on B cells in arthritis. Methods: Collagen type II-induced arthritis (CIA) in DBA1 mice. ELISA to determine specific anti-CII antibodies. Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis to determine IL-7R+ cells and intracellular phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (pSTAT5). Immunohistochemistry to show IL-7R+ B cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) synovial tissue. Results: IL-7 stimulated IL-7R+ mature B cells act proinflammatory (increased clinical score, increased anticollagen type II antibodies) after cell transfer in CIA. The sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine abrogates this effect. Expression of IL-7Rα is increased when B cells are activated (anti-CD40 or lipopolysaccharide) in vitro and stimulating the IL-7R induces intracellular accumulation of pSTAT5. α- And β-adrenergic agonists show no influence on expression levels of IL-7R on activated B cells; however, intracellular IL-7R downstream signalling is abrogated via the β2-adreonceptor (β2AR) agonist terbutaline. IL-7R and β2AR are also expressed on B cells in synovial tissue from RA and OA patients. Conclusions: These data indicate that IL7R+ B cells have a proinflammatory role in arthritis which can be inhibited by the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine via inhibition of IL-7R signalling.

Year: 2002

description: A simple equilibrium model was developed to predict maximum possible concentrations of volatile organic chemicals that may occur in shower stall air from the use of contaminated water during a showering event. Data was compiled from four previous studies for which vapor concentrations of contaminants in experimental shower stalls were measured. Peak concentrations reported in these experiments were compared to model-predicted concentrations. The behavior of the model suggests that it would be useful as a screening tool for estimating maximum concentrations of volatile organic chemicals in shower stall air, arising from the use of contaminated water during a showering event. Example calculations of shower water criteria to protect against unacceptable inhalation exposures indicated that at times these criteria were lower than drinking water Maximum Contaminant Levels or other criteria based on ingestion of the water.
Excitation spectrum of the Lieb-Liniger model

description: We study the integrable model of one-dimensional bosons with contact repulsion. In the limit of weak interaction, we use the microscopic hydrodynamic theory to obtain the excitation spectrum. The statistics of quasiparticles changes with the increase of momentum. At lowest momenta good quasiparticles are fermions, while at higher momenta they are Bogoliubov bosons, in accordance with recent studies. In the limit of strong interaction, we analyze the exact solution and find exact results for the spectrum in terms of the asymptotic series. Those results undoubtedly suggest that fermionic quasiparticle excitations actually exist at all momenta for moderate and strong interaction, and also at lowest momenta for arbitrary interaction. Moreover, at strong interaction we find highly accurate analytical results for several relevant quantities of the Lieb-Liniger model.

Polymer threadings and rigidity dictate the viscoelasticity and nonlinear relaxation dynamics of entangled ring-linear blends and their composites with rigid rod microtubules

description: Mixtures of polymers of varying topologies and stiffnesses display complex emergent rheological properties that often cannot be predicted from their single-component counterparts. For example, entangled blends of ring and linear polymers have been shown to exhibit enhanced shear thinning and viscosity, as well as prolonged relaxation timescales, compared to pure solutions of rings or linear chains. These emergent properties arise in part from the synergistic threading of rings by linear polymers. Topology has also been shown to play an important role in composites of flexible (e.g., DNA) and stiff (e.g., microtubules) polymers, whereby rings promote mixing while linear polymers induce de-mixing and flocculation of stiff polymers, with these topology-dependent interactions giving rise to highly distinct rheological signatures. To shed light on these intriguing phenomena, we use optical tweezers microrheology to measure the linear and nonlinear rheological properties of entangled ring-linear DNA blends and their composites with rigid microtubules. We show that the linear viscoelasticity is primarily dictated by the microtubules at lower frequencies, but their contributions become frozen out at frequencies above the DNA entanglement rate. In the nonlinear regime, we reveal that mechanical response features, such as shear thinning, stress softening and multi-modal relaxation dynamics are mediated by entropic stretching, threading, and flow alignment of entangled DNA, as well as forced de-threading, disentanglement, and clustering. The contributions of each of these mechanisms depend on the strain rate as well as the entanglement density and stiffness of the polymers, leading to non-monotonic rate dependences of mechanical properties that are most pronounced for highly concentrated ring-linear blends rather than DNA-MT composites.

description: We introduce a non-equilibrium discrete-time random walk model on multiplex networks, in which at each time step the walker first undergoes a random jump between neighboring nodes in the same layer, and then tries to hop from one node to one of its replicas in another layer. We derive the so-called supra-Markov matrix that governs the evolution of the occupation probability of the walker. The occupation probability at stationarity is different from the weighted average over the counterparts on each layer, unless the transition probabilities between layers vanish. However, they are approximately equal when the transition probabilities between layers are very small, which is given by the first-order degenerate perturbation theory. Moreover, we compute the mean first passage time (MFPT) and the graph MFPT (GrMFPT) that is the average of the MFPT over all pairs of distinct nodes. Interestingly, we find that the GrMFPT can be smaller than that of any layer taken in isolation. The result embodies the advantage of global search on multiplex networks.

description: We present the first cosmological simulations of dwarf galaxies, which include dark matter self-interactions and baryons. We study two dwarf galaxies within cold dark matter, and four different elastic self-interacting scenarios with constant and velocity-dependent cross sections, motivated by a new force in the hidden dark matter sector. Our highest resolution simulation has a baryonic mass resolution of $1.8\times 10^2\,{\rm M}_\odot$ and a gravitational softening length of $34\,{\rm pc}$ at $z=0$. In this first study we focus on the regime of mostly isolated dwarf galaxies with halo masses $\sim10^{10}\,{\rm M}_\odot$ where dark matter dynamically dominates even at sub-kpc scales. We find that while the global properties of galaxies of this scale are minimally affected by allowed self-interactions, their internal structures change significantly if the cross section is large enough within the inner sub-kpc region. In these dark-matter-dominated systems, self-scattering ties the shape of the stellar distribution to that of the dark matter distribution. In particular, we find that the stellar core radius is closely related to the dark matter core radius generated by self-interactions. Dark matter collisions lead to dwarf galaxies with larger stellar cores and smaller stellar central densities compared to the cold dark matter case. The central metallicity within $1\,{\rm kpc}$ is also larger by up to $\sim 15\%$ in the former case. We conclude that the mass distribution, and characteristics of the central stars in dwarf galaxies can potentially be used to probe the self-interacting nature of dark matter.

description: Group elements of SU(2) are expressed in closed form as finite polynomials of the Lie algebra generators, for all definite spin representations of the rotation group. The simple explicit result exhibits connections between group theory, combinatorics, and Fourier analysis, especially in the large spin limit. Salient intuitive features of the formula are illustrated and discussed.

description: MPX3 (M=metals, X=S or Se) represents a large family of van der Waals (vdW) materials featuring with P-P dimers of ~2.3 Å separation. Its electrical transport property and structure can hardly be tuned by the intentional chemical doping and ionic intercalation. Here, we employ an entropy-enhancement strategy to successfully obtain a series of medium-entropy compounds MEPSe3 (ME=Fe, Mn, Cd and In), in which the electrical and magnetic properties changed simultaneously. Lone-pair electrons of P emerge due to the dissociation of the dimers as evidenced by a 35% elongation in the P-P interatomic distance. The band gap widens from 0.1 eV to 0.7 eV by this dissociation. Under external physical pressure up to ~50 GPa, a giant collapse of up to 15% in the c-axis happens, which is in contrast to the in-plane shrinkage of their counterparts Fe/MnPSe3. It leads to the recombination of P3- with lone pair electrons into a P-P dimer and the smallest bulk modulus of 28 GPa in MPX3. The MEPSe3 transits from a spin-glass insulator to metal, and to superconductor, which is rarely observed in the MPX3. Our findings highlight the P-P dimer as an indicator to probe diverse electronic structure and the effectiveness of entropy-enhancement in materials science.

description: We present the results of a study investigating the rest-frame ultra-violet (UV) spectral slopes of redshift z~5 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). By combining deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the CANDELS and HUDF fields with ground-based imaging from the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS), we have produced a large sample of z~5 LBGs spanning an unprecedented factor of >100 in UV luminosity. Based on this sample we find a clear colour-magnitude relation (CMR) at z~5, such that the rest-frame UV slopes (beta) of brighter galaxies are notably redder than their fainter counterparts. We determine that the z~5 CMR is well described by a linear relationship of the form: d beta = (-0.12 +/- 0.02) d Muv, with no clear evidence for a change in CMR slope at faint magnitudes (i.e. Muv > -18.9). Using the results of detailed simulations we are able, for the first time, to infer the intrinsic (i.e. free from noise) variation of galaxy colours around the CMR at z~5. We find significant (12 sigma) evidence for intrinsic colour variation in the sample as a whole. Our results also demonstrate that the width of the intrinsic UV slope distribution of z~5 galaxies increases from Delta(beta)=0.1 at Muv=-18 to Delta(beta)=0.4 at Muv=-21. We suggest that the increasing width of the intrinsic galaxy colour distribution and the CMR itself are both plausibly explained by a luminosity independent lower limit of beta=-2.1, combined with an increase in the fraction of red galaxies in brighter UV-luminosity bins.

description: We study helical structures in spin-spiral single crystals. In the continuum approach for the helicity potential energy the simple electronic band splits into two non-parabolic bands. For the Fermi energy greater than the splitting between the bands, the lower band is described by a surface with a saddle shape in the direction of the helicity axis. Using the Boltzmann equation with the relaxation due to acoustic phonons, we discover the dependence of the current on the angle between the electric field and helicity axis leading to the both parallel and perpendicular to the electric field components in the electroconductivity. In addition, we find that the transition rates depend on an electron spin allowing the transition between the bands. The electric conductivities exhibit nonlinear behaviors with respect to chemical potential. We explain this effect as the interference of the band anisotropy, spin conservation, and interband transitions. The proposed theory with the spherical model in the effective mass approximation for conduction electrons can elucidate nonlinear dependencies that can be identified in experiments. There is the excellent agreement between the theoretical and experimental data for parallel resistivity depending on temperature at the phase transition from helical to ferromagnetic state in a MnP single crystal. In addition, we predict that the perpendicular resistivity abruptly drops to zero in the ferromagnetic phase.

Year: 2004

description: This brochure gives information about migrating shore birds and the threats these birds face during their long journeys with stopovers in the Delaware Bay. Shorebirds have some of the longest migrations known, traveling from their wintering ground at the tip of South America to their Arctic breeding grounds and back again each year. Stopovers like Delaware Bay play an important role by providing food resources for these birds at critical times during migration. Among such migrating birds are Red Knot (Calidris canutus), Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres), Semipalmated Sandpiper (Calidris pusilla), and Sanderling (Calidris alba). The brochure also discusses horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) as shorebirds are especially dependent upon the horseshoe crab eggs for food. Ideas for a Fishery Management Plan for Birds and how everyone can help are put forth.

description: Die amorphe Struktur der Phasenwechselmaterialien (PCM) GCT-9110 (Ge45Cu5Te50), GCT-7310 (Ge35Cu15Te50) und GCT-112 (Ge25Cu25Te50) auf der pseudo-binären Linie zwischen GeTe und CuTe wurden mittels anomaler Röntgenstreuung (AXS) und Röntgen-Absorptions\-feinstruktur (XAFS) untersucht. Mit Hilfe von Simulationen der Nahkanten\-absorption (XANES) und experimentellen Daten als Randbedingungen wurden mittels reverser Monte-Carlo Simulationen (RMC) dreidimensionale Modelle dieser Zusammensetzungen erzeugt. Bei niedrigen Cu-Konzentrationen, GCT-9110 und GCT-7310, bilden sich Cu-Cluster, die in die amorphe Matrix eingebettet sind und mit dieser über Cu-Te Bindungen verbunden sind. Dadurch ergibt sich eine mit der Cu-Konzentration steigende relative Te-Konzentration in der die Cluster umgebenden amorphen Matrix, wodurch die in diesem Konzentrationsbereich gefundene steigende Kristallisationstemperatur erklärt werden kann. Die amorphe Matrix besitzt eine bimodale Topologie, es bilden sich tetraedrische und defekt-oktaedrische Bindungseinheiten. Dadurch ergibt sich eine schwach ausgeprägte Ordnung auf höheren Längenskalen. Mit steigender Cu-Konzentration nimmt der Anteil der defekt-oktaedrischen Einheiten ab. Im Gegensatz dazu ist GCT-112 durch ein Ge-Cu-Te Netzwerk charakterisiert, dass sich ausschließlich über tetraedrische Strukturen beschreiben lässt und eine deutlich langreichweitigere Ordnung aufweist als GCT-9110 und GCT-7310.

description: We investigate the integer quantum Hall effect in Cd3As2 thin films under conditions of strong to moderate quantum confinement (thicknesses of 10 nm, 12 nm, 15 nm). In all the films, we observe the integer quantum Hall effect in the spin-polarized lowest Landau level (filling factor ν = 1) and at spin-degenerate higher index Landau levels with even filling factors (ν = 2,4,6). With increasing quantum confinement, we also observe a lifting of the Landau level spin degeneracy at ν = 3, manifest as the emergence of an anomaly in the longitudinal and Hall resistivity. Tight-binding calculations show that the enhanced g-factor likely arises from a combination of quantum confinement and corrections from nearby subbands. We also comment on the magnetic field induced transition from an insulator to a quantum Hall liquid when the chemical potential is near the charge neutrality point.
Physically motivated ansatz for the Kerr spacetime

description: Despite some 60 years of work on the subject of the Kerr rotating black hole there is as yet no widely accepted physically based and pedagogically viable ansatz suitable for deriving the Kerr solution without significant computational effort. (Typically involving computer-aided symbolic algebra.) Perhaps the closest one gets in this regard is the Newman-Janis trick; a trick which requires several physically unmotivated choices in order to work. Herein we shall try to make some progress on this issue by using a non-ortho-normal tetrad based on oblate spheroidal coordinates to absorb as much of the messy angular dependence as possible, leaving one to deal with a relatively simple angle-independent tetrad-component metric. That is, we shall write $g_{ab} = g_{AB} \; e^A{}_a\; e^B{}_b$ seeking to keep both the tetrad-component metric $g_{AB}$ and the non-ortho-normal co-tetrad $e^A{}_a$ relatively simple but non-trivial. We shall see that it is possible to put all the mass dependence into $g_{AB}$, while the non-ortho-normal co-tetrad $e^A{}_a$ can be chosen to be a mass-independent representation of flat Minkowski space in oblate spheroidal coordinates: $(g_\mathrm{Minkowski})_{ab} = η_{AB} \; e^A{}_a\; e^B{}_b$. This procedure separates out, to the greatest extent possible, the mass dependence from the rotational dependence, and makes the Kerr solution perhaps a little less mysterious.
