description: We present results from a parsec-scale jet kinematics study of 409 bright radio-loud AGNs based on 15 GHz VLBA data obtained between 1994 August 31 and 2016 December 26 as part of the 2cm VLBA survey and MOJAVE programs. We tracked 1744 individual bright features in 382 jets over at least five epochs. A majority (59%) of the best-sampled jet features showed evidence of accelerated motion at the >3sigma level. Although most features within a jet typically have speeds within ~40% of a characteristic median value, we identified 55 features in 42 jets that had unusually slow pattern speeds, nearly all of which lie within 4 pc (100 pc de-projected) of the core feature. Our results combined with other speeds from the literature indicate a strong correlation between apparent jet speed and synchrotron peak frequency, with the highest jet speeds being found only in low-peaked AGNs. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we find best fit parent population parameters for a complete sample of 174 quasars above 1.5 Jy at 15 GHz. Acceptable fits are found with a jet population that has a simple unbeamed power law luminosity function incorporating pure luminosity evolution, and a power law Lorentz factor distribution ranging from 1.25 to 50 with slope -1.4 +- 0.2. The parent jets of the brightest radio quasars have a space density of 261 +- 19 Gpc$^{-3}$ and unbeamed 15 GHz luminosities above ~$10^{24.5}$ W/Hz, consistent with FR II class radio galaxies.

The physical and chemical properties of the $ρ$ ophiuchi A dense core

description: The physical and chemical properties of the $ρ$ Ophiuchi A core were studied using 1.3 mm continuum and molecular lines such as C$^{18}$O, C$^{17}$O, CH$_3$OH and H$_2$CO observed with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The continuum and C$^{18}$O data were combined with the single-dish data obtained with the IRAM 30m telescope and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), respectively. The combined 1.3 mm continuum map reveals three major sources, SM1, SM1N and VLA1623 embedded in the extended emission running along the north-south direction, and two additional compact condensations in the continuum ridge connecting SM1 and VLA1623.The spatial distribution of the C$^{18}$O emission is significantly different from that of the continuum emission; the C$^{18}$O emission is enhanced at the eastern and western edges of the continuum ridge, with its peak brightness temperature of 40--50 K. This supports the picture that the $ρ$-Oph A core is heated externally from the nearby stars Oph S1 and HD147889. In contrast, the C$^{18}$O intensity is lower than 15--20 K at the center of the ridge where the continuum emission is bright. The C$^{18}$O abundance decreases inside the ridge, and shows anti-correlation with the N$_2$H$^+$ abundance. However, both C$^{18}$O and N$_2$H$^+$ show strong depletion at the Class 0 protostar VLA1623, implying that the dense gas surrounding VLA1623 is colder than the freeze-out temperature of N$_2$. The blue- and red-shifted components of CH$_3$OH and H$_2$CO lines are seen at SM1, suggesting outflow activity of embedded source in SM1, although the spatial distributions do not show clear bipolarity.

description: A lattice model for disordered d-wave superconductors in class CI is reconsidered. Near the band-center, the lattice model can be described by Dirac fermions with several species, each of which yields WZW term for an effective action of the Goldstone mode. The WZW terms cancel out each other because of the four-fold symmetry of the model, which suggests that the quasiparticle states are localized. If the lattice model has, however, symmetry breaking terms which generate mass for any species of the Dirac fermions, remaining WZW term which avoids the cancellation can derive the system to a delocalized strong-coupling fixed point.

description: In this study, I explore whether the public spending provided in response to a natural disaster is affected by upcoming elections. The theory on retrospective voting argues that politicians are kept responsible by the electorate for the damage caused by a natural catastrophe. At the same time, voters reward government officials when they react promptly by taking actions that limit the negative consequences. Thus, disaster support in the aftermath might not always only be provided to improve the economic situation after a disaster, but also for political purposes. My estimates seem to confirm this idea since roughly 10 per cent of the disaster related public spending provided in an election year is attributed to rent seeking rather than need. It turns out that the existence of these election cycles can partly be explained by cross-country differences. For instance, elections have a stronger effect in countries that are characterised by fewer checks and balances, presidential system and majority elections. One interesting result is that the role of media in electoral manipulation changes when a disaster has happened in the year before.

description: This paper aims to use term clustering to build a modular ontology according to core ontology from domain-specific text. The acquisition of semantic knowledge focuses on noun phrase appearing with the same syntactic roles in relation to a verb or its preposition combination in a sentence. The construction of this co-occurrence matrix from context helps to build feature space of noun phrases, which is then transformed to several encoding representations including feature selection and dimensionality reduction. In addition, the content has also been presented with the construction of word vectors. These representations are clustered respectively with K-Means and Affinity Propagation (AP) methods, which differentiate into the term clustering frameworks. Due to the randomness of K-Means, iteration efforts are adopted to find the optimal parameter. The frameworks are evaluated extensively where AP shows dominant effectiveness for co-occurred terms and NMF encoding technique is salient by its promising facilities in feature compression.

description: A novel electrochemical sensor for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was constructed using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride(mpg-C3N4) nanocomposite (hereafter designated by AuNPs/mpg-C3N4). A facile method based on ultraviolet excitation was used to produce the AuNPs/mpg-C3N4 nanocomposite. The new AuNPs/mpg-C3N4 nanocomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The AuNPs were evenly distributed on the surface of mpg-C3N4. The AuNPs/mpg-C3N4 modified GCE sensor shows high sensitivity (viz., 0.32 μA/μM) and a low TNT detection limit (42 ppb) by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The enhanced electrochemical performance of AuNPs/mpg-C3N4 GCE is attributed to synergistic interactions between AuNPs and mpg-C3N4. The AuNPs/mpg-C3N4/GCE demonstrated good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility for TNT. The AuNPs/mpg-C3N4/GCE show a 100% ± 5% TNT recovery for natural water analysis. The results show the potential in AuNPs/mpg-C3N4/GCE sensor applications for the determination of TNT.
The galaxy - halo connection in low mass halos

description: Properties of galaxies vary systematically with the mass of their parent dark matter halos. This basic galaxy - halo connection shows a fair amount of scatter whose origin is not fully understood. Here, we study how differences in the halo assembly history affect central galaxies in low mass (M_halo < 10^12 M_sun) halos at z=2-6 with the help of the MassiveFIRE suite of cosmological simulations. In contrast to previous works that tie galaxy properties to halo concentration and halo formation redshift, we focus on halo growth rate as a measure of assembly history. We find that, at fixed halo mass, faster growing halos tend to have lower stellar masses and higher SFRs per unit stellar mass but similar overall SFRs. We provide a simple explanation for these findings with the help of an analytic model that captures approximately the behavior of our hydrodynamical simulations. Specifically, among halos of a given current mass, quickly growing halos have lower stellar masses (and thus higher sSFRs) because they were less massive and had comparably lower cold gas masses and SFRs in the past than slowly growing halos. By combining these findings with estimates for the scatter of the halo growth rate, we show that variations in growth rate at fixed halo mass may largely explain the scatter of the stellar mass - halo mass relation. In contrast, halo growth variations likely play only a minor role in the scatter of the star forming sequence in low mass galaxies.

description: We investigate the ordered morphologies occurring in thin-films diblock copolymer. For temperatures above the order-disorder transition and for an arbitrary two-dimensional surface pattern, we use a Ginzburg-Landau expansion of the free energy to obtain a linear response description of the copolymer melt. The ordering in the directions perpendicular and parallel to the surface are coupled. Three dimensional structures existing when a melt is confined between two surfaces are examined. Below the order-disorder transition we find tilted lamellar phases in the presence of striped surface fields.

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The thermal decay of linear chains from a metastable state is investigated. A crossover from rigid to elastic decay occurs when the number of particles, the single particle energy barrier or the coupling strength between the particles is varied. In the rigid regime, the single particle energy barrier is small compared to the coupling strength and the decay occurs via a uniform saddlepoint solution, with all degrees of freedom decaying instantly. Increasing the barrier one enters the elastic regime, where the decay is due to bent saddlepoint configurations using the elasticity of the chain to lower their activation energy. Close to the rigid-to-elastic crossover, nucleation occurs at the boundaries of the system. However, in large systems, a second crossover from boundary to bulk nucleation can be found within the elastic regime, when the single particle energy barrier is further increased. We compute the decay rate in the rigid and in the elastic regimes within the Gaussian approximation. Around the rigid-to-elastic crossover, the calculations are performed beyond the steepest descent approximation. In this region, the prefactor exhibits a scaling property. The theoretical results are discussed in the context of discrete Josephson transmission lines and pancake vortex stacks that are pinned by columnar defects.

description: Production of events with hadronic and leptonic final states has been measured in e^+e^- collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130-172 GeV, using the OPAL detector at LEP. Cross-sections and leptonic forward-backward asymmetries are presented, both including and excluding the dominant production of radiative Z γevents, and compared to Standard Model expectations. The ratio R_b of the cross-section for bb(bar) production to the hadronic cross-section has been measured. In a model-independent fit to the Z lineshape, the data have been used to obtain an improved precision on the measurement of γ-Z interference. The energy dependence of α_em has been investigated. The measurements have also been used to obtain limits on extensions of the Standard Model described by effective four-fermion contact interactions, to search for t-channel contributions from new massive particles and to place limits on chargino pair production with subsequent decay of the chargino into a light gluino and a quark pair.

description: Spin chirality in metallic materials with non-coplanar magnetic order can give rise to a Berry phase induced topological Hall effect. Here, we report the observation of a large topological Hall effect in high-quality films of Mn$_{1.5}$PtSn that were grown by means of magnetron sputtering on MgO(001). The topological Hall resistivity is present up to $μ_{0}H \approx 4~$T below the spin reorientation transition temperature, $T_{s}=185$~K. We find, that the maximum topological Hall resistivity is of comparable magnitude as the anomalous Hall resistivity. Owing to the size, the topological Hall effect is directly evident prior to the customarily performed subtraction of magnetometry data. Further, we underline the robustness of the topological Hall effect in Mn\textsubscript{2-x}PtSn by extracting the effect for multiple stoichiometries (x~=~0.5, 0.25, 0.1) and film thicknesses (t = 104, 52, 35~nm) with maximum topological Hall resistivities between $0.76~μΩ$cm and $1.55~μΩ$cm at 150~K.

description: We construct the simplest inflationary $α$-attractor models in supergravity: it has only one scalar, the inflaton. There is no sinflaton since the inflaton belongs to an orthogonal nilpotent superfield where the sinflaton depends on fermion bilinears. When the local supersymmetry is gauge-fixed, these models have only one single real scalar (the inflaton), a graviton and a massive gravitino. The sinflaton, sgoldstino and inflatino are all absent from the physical spectrum in the unitary gauge. The orthogonality condition leads to the simplest Kähler potential for the inflaton, while preserving the Poincaré disk geometry of $α$-attractors. The models are particularly simple in the framework of the $\overline {D3}$ induced geometric inflation.

description: Indexes are the best apposite choice for quickly retrieving the records. This is nothing but cutting down the number of Disk IO. Instead of scanning the complete table for the results, we can decrease the number of IO's or page fetches using index structures such as B-Trees or Hash Indexes to retrieve the data faster. The most convenient way to consider an index is to think like a dictionary. It has words and its corresponding definitions against those words. The dictionary will have an index on "word" because when we open a dictionary and we want to fetch its corresponding word quickly, then find its definition. The dictionary generally contains just a single index - an index ordered by word. When we modify any record and change the corresponding value of an indexed column in a clustered index, the database might require moving the entire row into a separately new position to maintain the rows in the sorted order. This action is essentially turned into an update query into a DELETE followed by an INSERT, and it decreases the performance of the query. The clustered index in the table can often be available on the primary key or a foreign key column because key values usually do not modify once a record is injected into the database.

description: We present the advantages of a multiscale modelling strategy for the understanding of systems with charged interfaces. On the one hand, one can simulate a complex system at different levels, depending on the relevant length and time scales for a given physical chemistry problem. On the other hand, one should make the link between the various levels of description, e.g. following a bottom-up approach. We illustrate here the case of charged porous materials, in particular clay minerals, by discussing physical chemistry issues that arise in the context of geological disposal of nuclear wastes and CO2 sequestration.

description: Magnetic interactions underpin a plethora of magnetic states of matter, hence playing a central role both in fundamental physics and for future spintronic and quantum computation devices. The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, being chiral and driven by relativistic effects, leads to the stabilization of highly-noncollinear spin textures such as skyrmions, which thanks to their topological nature are promising building blocks for magnetic data storage and processing elements. Here, we reveal and study a new chiral pair interaction, which is the biquadratic equivalent of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. First, we derive this interaction and its guiding principles from a microscopic model. Second, we study its properties in the simplest prototypical systems, magnetic dimers deposited on various substrates, resorting to systematic first-principles calculations. Lastly, we discuss its importance and implications not only for magnetic dimers but also for extended systems, namely one-dimensional spin spirals and complex two-dimensional magnetic structures, such as a nanoskyrmion lattice.

description: This paper presents FaceLiVT, a lightweight yet powerful face recognition model that combines a hybrid CNN-Transformer architecture with an innovative and lightweight Multi-Head Linear Attention (MHLA) mechanism. By incorporating MHLA alongside a reparameterized token mixer, FaceLiVT effectively reduces computational complexity while preserving high accuracy. Extensive evaluations on challenging benchmarks—including LFW, CFP-FP, AgeDB-30, IJB-B, and IJB-C—highlight its superior performance compared to state-of-the-art lightweight models. The integration of MHLA significantly enhances inference speed, enabling FaceLiVT to achieve competitive accuracy with lower latency on mobile devices. Notably, FaceLiVT is 8.6×faster than EdgeFace, a recent hybrid CNN-Transformer model optimized for edge devices. With its balanced design, FaceLiVT provides a practical and efficient solution for real-time face recognition on resource-constrained platforms.

description: Transport properties of bilayer quantum Hall systems at $ν=1/q$, where $q$ is an odd integer, are investigated. The edge theory is used for the investigation, since tunneling between the two layers is assumed to occur on the edge of the sample because of the bulk incompressibility. It is shown that in the case of the independent Laughlin state tunneling is irrelevant when $ν<1/2$ in the low temperature and long wave length limit. The temperature dependence of two-terminal conductance of the system in which only one of the two layers is contacted with electrode is discussed.

description: Bilateral skill symmetry in sport refers to an individual’s ability to successfully perform sporting actions with both sides of the body. Two scarcely researched areas in relation to bilateral skills are the effects of opposition proximity on skill execution and bilateral skill in high-performance female athletes. In this study, we used Nacsport to code all skill executions (hand pass, kick pass, hop, solo and shot) during 121 games by both male and female participants (76 male, 45 female), classified as Tier 1 (n = 181, 134) and Tier 2 (n = 238, 115) high performance, adult Gaelic Football players. Irrespective of the participants’ tier group or gender, these players relied upon their dominant side for most skill executions (Kick Pass Dominant Foot Mdn: MT1 = 90%, MT2 = 98.6%, FT1 = 100%, FT2 = 100%; Solo Dominant Foot: Mdn MT1 = 95%, MT2 = 97.3%, FT1: 100%, FT2: 100%; Hand Pass Dominant Hand Mdn: MT1: 83.7%, MT2: 99%, FT1: 95.5%, FT2: 95.5%; Hop Dominant Hand Mdn: MT1: 91.9%, MT2: 94.7%, FT1: 98.1%, FT2: 98.1%; Play Dominant Foot Mdn: MT1: 74.5%, MT2: 94.5%, FT1: 94.7%, FT2: 88.2%). There were no consistent differences between tier groups or genders in relation to dominant side use, but top tier male players were generally less reliant on the dominant limb than were female players from both tiers. In general, top tier male players performed more successfully than either second tier male players or female players in both tiers. Most skills were executed under conditions of low opponent proximity, limiting the requirement for participants to use their non-dominant limbs. These findings illustrate the demands of Gaelic football in relation to bilateral skills, and we identified new research questions for future investigators.

description: Supercapacitors are electric devices able to deliver a large power, enabling their use e.g. for the recovery of breaking energy in cars. This is achieved by using two carbon electrodes and an electrolyte solution or a pure ionic liquid (Room Temperature Ionic Liquid, RTIL). Energy is stored by the adsorption of ions at the surface of the electrodes, but the microscopic mechanism underlying the exceptional performance of Carbide Derived Carbon (CDC) electrodes remained unknown. Using molecular simulation with realistic electrode structures and under constant voltage conditions, we investigate the effect of confinement and solvation on the microscopic charging mechanism. We further analyse the dynamics of the charging process and make the link with equivalent circuit models used by electrochemists.

description: The Naturalistic Action Therapy approach was designed to train patients with impaired real tool-use and related anosognosia. The manual contains a description of example tasks trained in our laboratory. In addition video-material and evaluation sheets were designed to facilitate its application. The therapy concept can and is anticipated to be adapted for miscellaneous tasks of daily living that may need to be trained in a rehabilitation institute or at home. The main neurorehabilitation principles of the Naturalistic Action Therapy are shaping, errorless learning and performance monitoring. Thus far the approach has been tested in single stroke patients. Patients with hemiparesis, aphasia or neglect can be trained with this therapy form. However, as a requirement, patients need to understand simple task instructions.

description: Recently, higher-order topological phases that do not obey the usual bulk-edge correspondence principle have been introduced in electronic insulators and brought into classical systems, featuring with in-gap corner/hinge states. So far, second-order topological insulators have been realized in mechanical metamaterials, microwave circuit, topolectrical circuit and acoustic metamaterials. Here, using near-field scanning measurements, we show the direct observation of corner states in second-order topological photonic crystal (PC) slabs consisting of periodic dielectric rods on a perfect electric conductor (PEC). Based on the generalized two-dimensional (2D) Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, we show that the emergence of corner states roots in the nonzero edge dipolar polarization instead of the nonzero bulk quadrupole polarization. We demonstrate the topological transition of 2D Zak phases of PC slabs by tuning intra-cell distances between two neighboring rods. We also directly observe in-gap 1D edge states and 0D corner states in the microwave regime. Our work presents that the PC slab is a powerful platform to directly observe topological states, and paves the way to study higher-order photonic topological insulators.

While the so-called Rashba spin splitting of electron states increases linearly with in-plane wave vector k_|| the spin splitting of heavy hole states can be of third order in k_|| so that spin splitting becomes negligible in the limit of small 2D hole densities. We discuss consequences of this behavior in the context of recent arguments on the origin of the metal-insulator transition observed in 2D systems.

description: We explore non-adiabatic particle production in a de Sitter universe for a scalar spectator field, by allowing the effective mass $m^2(t)$ of this field and the cosmic time interval between non-adiabatic events to vary stochastically. Two main scenarios are considered depending on the (non-stochastic) mass $M$ of the spectator field: the conformal case with $M^2=2H^2$, and the case of a massless field. We make use of the transfer matrix formalism to parametrize the evolution of the system in terms of the "occupation number", and two phases associated with the transfer matrix; these are used to construct the evolution of the spectator field. Assuming short-time interactions approximated by Dirac-delta functions, we numerically track the change of these parameters and the field in all regimes: sub- and super-horizon with weak and strong scattering. In all cases a log-normally distributed field amplitude is observed, and the logarithm of the field amplitude approximately satisfies the properties of a Wiener process outside the horizon. We derive a Fokker-Planck equation for the evolution of the transfer matrix parameters, which allows us to calculate analytically non-trivial distributions and moments in the weak-scattering limit.

description: This thesis investigates alternative ways to use two food and beverage wastes. Coffee wastes were used in extractions, as well as in plant growth trials using two agricultural soils. Plant growth experiments revealed a complex interaction between soils and the amendment. Anaerobic digestates, the by-product of anaerobic digestion, that was sourced from food waste was used in soil column trials. These results showed digestates as potential amendments to sandy soils by providing plant essential nutrients. All experiments were practical in order to best inform the realistic use of both waste materials.

description: Constitutive equations are derived for a 1-D micropolar Timoshenko beam made of a web-core lattice material. First, a web-core unit cell is modeled by discrete classical constituents, i.e., the Euler-Bernoulli beam finite elements (FE). A discrete-to-continuum transformation is applied to the microscale unit cell and its strain energy density is expressed in terms of the macroscale 1-D beam kinematics. Then the constitutive equations for the micropolar web-core beam are derived assuming strain energy equivalence between the microscale unit cell and the macroscale beam. A micropolar beam FE model for static and dynamic problems is developed using a general solution of the beam equilibrium equations. A localization method for the calculation of periodic classical beam responses from micropolar results is given. The 1-D beam model is used in linear bending and vibration problems of 2-D web-core sandwich panels that have flexible joints. Localized 1-D results are shown to be in good agreement with experimental and 2-D FE beam frame results.

Proton-Antiproton Annihilation and Meson Spectroscopy with the Crystal Barrel

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: This report reviews the achievements of the Crystal Barrel experiment at the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. During seven years of operation Crystal Barrel has collected very large statistical samples in pbarp annihilation, especially at rest and with emphasis on final states with high neutral multiplicity. The measured rates for annihilation into various two-body channels and for electromagnetic processes have been used to test simple models for the annihilation mechanism based on the quark internal structure of hadrons. From three-body annihilations three scalar mesons, a0(1450), f0(1370) and f0(1500) have been established in various decay modes. One of them, f0(1500), may be identified with the expected ground state scalar glueball.

description: Supercapacitors are energy storage devices able to deliver electricity with a high power. They consist of porous carbon electrodes in a concentrated electrolyte. Charged is stored by the adsorption of ions at the electrode surface. Nanoporous carbons allow to store more electricity thanks to a charging mechanism that differs from carbons with larger pores. This mechanism has recently been uncovered by combining in situ experiments (nuclear magnetic resonance, electrochemical quartz microbalance) and molecular simulations.

The eco-philosophical poem : enacting ecological theory through a formal poetics

description: The following thesis investigates why eco-philosophy and eco-poetry should be studied and read concurrently. Specifically, it demonstrates how eco-poetry formally enacts foundational eco-philosophical theories and processes by providing the reader an experiential understanding of otherwise abstract and theoretical concepts. The chapters within pursue this investigation by pairing eight modern and contemporary poets alongside contemporaneous theorists whose ecological theories their poetry is in dialogue with. Both the periods and the poets and theorists have been selected to demonstrate two primary points: first, that the emergent understanding of the human relation to the nonhuman world has helped to create a formal poetics that evolved alongside the environmental humanities as an academic field; and second, that poetic technique helps to better contextualise and even overcome prominent philosophical dualisms addressed in ecological theory, including the self/other, the human/nonhuman, the local/global, and the physical/spiritual. To pursue these endeavours this thesis is divided into four chapters that take their topics from the environmentalist and ecological philosopher Arne Naess, who states that ‘individuals’, ‘species’, ‘ecosystems’, and ‘landscapes’ are nexuses through which humans come to identify themselves with the nonhuman world. The chapter ‘Individuals’, pairs poets Elizabeth Bishop and Don Domanski with theorists Arne Naess and Timothy Morton. The chapter ‘Species’, pairs poets Marianne Moore and Vicki Hearne with theorists Paul Shepard and Donna Haraway. The chapter ‘Ecosystems’, pairs poets Gary Snyder and Karen Solie with theorists Murray Bookchin and Bruno Latour. The chapter ‘Landscapes’, pairs poets Theodore Roethke and Charles Wright with theorists Aldo Leopold and Yi-Fu Tuan. Throughout, this thesis is consistently invested in recognising how poetry can be seen as formally enacting the eco-philosophical processes through which humans realise their inherent interrelatedness and interconnectedness with the nonhuman world.

description: We have calculated the frictional drag between spatially separated quantum wells with parallel two-dimensional electron gases due to interlayer electron-electron interaction mediated by virtual exchange of acoustic phonons due to piezoelectric and deformation potential interaction. It is shown that the frictional drag is dominated by the piezoelectric coupling. According to our calculations temperature dependence of the drag scattering rate divided by squared temperature T exhibits a pronounced peak which for the experimental situation and in agreement with the finding of T. J. Gramila, et al., Phys. Rev. B 47, (1993) 12957 is obtained at about T=2.1 K. We ascribe the appearance of this peak to a change from small to large angle scattering in the virtual phonon exchange.

Macroscopic Finite Size Effects in Relaxational Processes

description: We present results on dynamical processes that exhibit a stretched exponential relaxation. When the relaxation is a result of two competing exponential processes, the size of the system, although macroscopic, play a dominant role. There exist a crossover time tx that depends logarithmically on the size of the system, above which, the relaxation changes from a stretched exponential to a simple exponential decay. The decay rate also depends logarithmically on the size of the system. The results are relevant to large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations and should be amenable to experiments in low-dimensional macroscopic systems and mesoscopic systems.
