description: CsGaS2-mC64 was obtained by reaction of CsN3 with stoichiometric amounts of Ga2S3 and S at elevated temperatures. The crystal structure of the air- and moisture stable compound was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The colourless solid crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c (no. 15) with the lattice parameters a = 10.5718(6) angstrom, b = 10.5708(6) angstrom, c = 16.0847(8) angstrom, ss = 99.445(4)degrees, V = 1773.1(2) angstrom(3), and Z = 16. The compound crystallizes in the TlGaSe2 structure type and features anionic layers (2)(infinity)[Ga4S84-] consisting of corner-sharing Ga4S10 supertetrahedra. At temperatures above 600 degrees C an irreversible phase-transition to CsGaS2-mC16 occurs. The phase-transition kinetics were studied using in situ high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction techniques. This transition can only be reversed by using high pressures (> 5 GPa at 500 degrees C). The compound was further characterized using Raman- and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Chemical bonding was analysed by DFT calculations.

description: This thesis introduces a model for simulating fracture in brittle continuum materials using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). The model employs either spheres or Voronoı̈ cells approximated by multi-spheres to represent the material and uses beam forces that closely resemble Finite Element Method (FEM) matrix elastic frame elements to capture the interactions among them. The introduced beam forces allow us to integrate realistic failure criteria (like Mohr-Coulomb) and energy dissipation models (like Rayleigh damping), making it easy to employ real material parameters. The developed model successfully reproduces the elastic response of a metamaterial composed of glass beads connected by hardened glue bridges and the elastic and failure behavior of adobe bricks, a sustainable and affordable building material, and the simulation results are validated against experimental data. The brick model with Voronoı̈ cells so developed can be used in the study of walls and other adobe structures and their potential applications as sustainable and affordable housing solutions, as well as the simulation of other brittle materials. 
In addition to the model itself, this work introduces a novel integration algorithm for rotational motion that surpasses in accuracy, stability, and efficiency all existing algorithms used in state-of-the-art DEM codes and excels when integrating the motion of non-spherical particles, an algorithm with the potential to become a new standard in the field. The work goes beyond material modeling and is a highly valuable contribution to the field of fracture modeling and the discrete element method in general.
Turbulence-Induced Relative Velocity of Dust Particles II: The Bidisperse Case

description: We extend our earlier work on turbulence-induced relative velocity between equal-size particles (Pan and Padoan, Paper I) to particles of arbitrarily different sizes. The Pan and Padoan (PP10) model shows that the relative velocity between different particles has two contributions, named the generalized shear and acceleration terms, respectively. The generalized shear term represents the particles' memory of the spatial flow velocity difference across the particle distance in the past, while the acceleration term is associated with the temporal flow velocity difference on individual particle trajectories. Using the simulation of Paper I, we compute the root-mean-square relative velocity, ^1/2, as a function of the friction times, tau_p1 and tau_p2, of the two particles, and show that the PP10 prediction is in satisfactory agreement with the data, confirming its physical picture. For a given tau_p1 below the Lagrangian correlation time of the flow, T_L, ^1/2 as a function of tau_p2 shows a dip at tau_p2~tau_p1, indicating tighter velocity correlation between similar particles. Defining a ratio f=tau_pl/tau_ph, with tau_pl and tau_ph the friction times of the smaller and larger particles, we find that ^1/2 increases with decreasing f due to the generalized acceleration contribution, which dominates at f<1/4. At a fixed f, our model predicts that ^1/2 scales as tau_ph^1/2 for tau_p,h in the inertial range of the flow, stays roughly constant for T_L >T_L/f. The acceleration term is independent of the particle distance, r, and thus reduces the r-dependence of ^1/2 in the bidisperse case.

description: In the last decade organic-inorganic hybrid materials have become essential in materials science as they combine properties of both building blocks. Nowadays the main routes for their synthesis involve electrostatic coupling, covalent grafting, and/or solvent effects. In this field, polyoxometalates (POMs) have emerged as interesting inorganic functional building blocks due to their outstanding properties. In the present work the well-known a-Keggin polyoxometalate, alpha-PW12O403- (PW), is shown to form hybrid crystalline materials with industrial (neutral) polyethylene glycol oligomers (PEG) under mild conditions, that is, in aqueous medium and at room temperature. The formation of these materials originates from the spontaneous self-assembly of PW with EOx, (EO=ethylene oxide) with at least four EO units (x>4). The PW-PEG nanoassemblies, made of a POM surrounded by about two PEG oligomers, are stabilized by electrostatic repulsions between the negatively charged PW anions. Addition of NaCl, aimed at screening the inter-nanoassembly repulsions, induces aggregation and formation of hybrid crystalline materials. Single-crystal analysis showed a high selectivity of PW towards EO5-EO6 oligomers from PEG200, which is made of a mixture of EO3-8. Therefore, a general "soft" route to produce POM-organic composites is proposed here through the control of electrostatic repulsions between spontaneously formed nanoassemblies in water. However, this rational design of new POM hybrid (crystalline) materials with hydrophilic blocks, using such a simple mixing procedure of the components, requires a deep understanding of the molecular interactions.

description: In this paper we construct asymptotically locally AdS and flat black holes in the presence of a scalar field whose kinetic term is constructed out from a linear combination of the metric and the Einstein tensor. The field equations as well as the energy-momentum tensor are second order in the metric and the field, therefore the theory belongs to the ones defined by Horndeski. We show that in the presence of a cosmological term in the action, it is possible to have a real scalar field in the region outside the event horizon. The solutions are characterized by a single integration constant, the scalar field vanishes at the horizon and it contributes to the effective cosmological constant at infinity. We extend these results to the topological case. The solution is disconnected from the maximally symmetric AdS background, however, within this family there exits a gravitational soliton which is everywhere regular. This soliton is therefore used as a background to define a finite Euclidean action and to obtain the thermodynamics of the black holes. For a certain region in the space of parameters, the thermodynamic analysis reveals a critical temperature at which a Hawking-Page phase transition between the black hole and the soliton occurs. We extend the solution to arbitrary dimensions grater than four and show that the presence of a cosmological term in the action allows to consider the case in which the standard kinetic term for the scalar it's not present. In such scenario, the solution reduces to an asymptotically flat black hole.

description: Neutrino-electron scattering experiments can explore the potential presence of a light gauge boson $A'$ which arises from an additional $U(1)_{B-L}$ group, or a dark photon $A'$ which arises from a dark sector and has kinetic mixing with the SM hypercharge gauge field. We generically call it a dark photon. In this study, we investigate the effect of the dark photon on neutrino-electron scattering $νe^-\rightarrowνe^-$ at the newly proposed forward physics experiments such as FASER$ν$, FASER$\nu2$, SND@LHC and FLArE(10 tons). We estimate the anticipated sensitivities to the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge coupling in a wide range of the dark photon mass $M_{A'}$. We compare the sensitivities of the proposed forward physics experiments with the current limits from TEXONO, GEMMA, BOREXINO, LSND, and CHARM II as well as NA64e experiments. We also extend the calculation to obtain the sensitivities on the kinetic mixing parameter $ε$ in a wide range of dark photon mass $M_{A'}$. We demonstrate that the sensitivities do not improve for $M_{A'} < 1 $ GeV at the Forward Physics Facilities.

description: In this paper, we study a warm intermediate inflationary model with a general form for the dissipative coefficient $Γ(T,ϕ)=C_ϕ\,T^{m}/ϕ^{m-1}$ in the context of loop quantum cosmology. We examine this model in the weak and strong dissipative regimes. In general, we discuss in great detail the characteristics of this model in the slow-roll approximation. Also, we assume that the modifications to perturbation equations result exclusively from Hubble rate. In this approach, we use recent astronomical observations from Planck and BICEP2 experiments to restrict the parameters in our model.

description: Vaskuläre Anomalien (VA) manifestieren sich häufig im Kopf-Hals-Bereich und können zu lebensbedrohlichen Komplikationen führen. Obwohl in den letzten Jahren vereinzelte auslösende Genmutationen gefunden wurden, ist die genaue Entstehung der meisten vaskulären Anomalien noch nicht abschließend geklärt. In dieser Arbeit wurde die mögliche Rolle von humanen Papilloma-Viren (HPV) mittels immunhistochemischen Färbungen untersucht. Hierfür wurden insgesamt 27 VA-Proben untersucht und mikroskopisch beurteilt. Zur Kontrolle wurden dieselben immunhistochemischen Untersuchungen an 20 Oropharynxtumorproben durchgeführt. Es zeigte sich in 7 VA-Präparaten eine positive Reaktion des Gefäßendothels auf den Antikörper HPV16 E6/18 E6. Weiter konnte in 11 VA-Präparaten eine positive Reaktion von Nerven auf den gleichen Antikörper beobachtet werden. Die Untersuchungen mit den Antikörpern HPV16 E7, HPV16 E1/E4 und HPV18 E7 zeigten keine positiven Reaktionen. Die Untersuchung mit dem Anti-Human-Papillomavirus-Antikörper von Dako zeigte nur in drei Proben schwach positive Reaktionen von den insgesamt 27 untersuchten Proben. Die Färbungen mit dem anti-HPV16 L1-Antikörper (CAMVIR-1) zeigte bei allen Proben eine positive Reaktion in Muskeln, Epithelien der Haut, Endothelzellen und Nerven. Es zeigte sich jedoch in nur einem Präparat eine positive p16INK4a-Färbung der Gefäße, welche auch Ki67 negativ war, wodurch eine virale Ursache der p16INK4a-Hochregulation unwahrscheinlich erscheint. Die immunhistochemischen Färbungen ergaben zum großen Teil negative Ergebnisse. Nach ausführlicher Analyse sind die positiven Reaktionen des HPV16 L1 Antiköpers der Firma Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. als unspezifische Reaktion zu werten. Ebenso deuten die Reaktionen des Antikörpers gegen HPV16 E6/18 E6 auf eine unspezifische Reaktion möglicherweise gegen β-Galaktosidase hin, da bei der Antikörperherstellung ein β-Galaktosidase-E6-Fusionsprotein eingesetzt wurde. In der vorliegenden rein explorativen Studie fand sich kein Anhaltspunkt dafür, dass in vaskulären Anomalien eine aktive virale Infektion vorliegt. Eine transiente Infektion, z.B. während der Schwangerschaft, die zu einer Veränderung der Gefäßbildung und zur Entstehung von vaskulären Anomalien führt, kann jedoch nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Dies sollte in weiteren Studien untersucht werden.

description: The weak Haagerup property for locally compact groups and the weak Haagerup constant was recently introduced by the second author. The weak Haagerup property is weaker than both weak amenability introduced by Cowling and the first author and the Haagerup property introduced by Connes and Choda. In this paper it is shown that a connected simple Lie group G has the weak Haagerup property if and only if the real rank of G is zero or one. Hence for connected simple Lie groups the weak Haagerup property coincides with weak amenability. Moreover, it turns out that for connected simple Lie groups the weak Haagerup constant coincides with the weak amenability constant, although this is not true for locally compact groups in general. It is also shown that the semidirect product of R^2 by SL(2,R) does not have the weak Haagerup property.

description: The study attempts to explain how Asian Americans give and volunteer in comparison to Anglo Americans using the constructs of individualism and collectivism. By comparing 218 Asian Americans and 218 Anglo Americans who are similar in demographic characteristics, the study reports 4 findings. First, Asian Americans were higher in collectivism and lower in individualism than Anglo Americans. Second, Asian Americans tended to give more to the ethnic group than to the rest of the nation. Ethnic specificity in giving increased with collectivism. However, Anglo Americans tended to volunteer more time for the ethnic group than for the rest of the nation. Ethnic specificity in volunteering decreased with collectivism. Finally, there was no significant ethnic difference in terms of whether they preferred personal or organizational philanthropy. Both ethnic groups slightly favored organizational philanthropy over personal philanthropy

description: We consider one-dimensional topological insulators hosting fractionally charged midgap states in the presence and absence of induced superconductivity pairing. Under the protection of a discrete symmetry, relating positive and negative energy states, the solitonic midgap states remain pinned at zero energy when superconducting correlations are induced by proximity effect. When the superconducting pairing dominates the initial insulating gap, Majorana fermion phases develop for a class of insulators. As a concrete example, we study the Creutz model with induced s-wave superconductivity and repulsive Hubbard-type interactions. For a finite wire, without interactions, the solitonic modes originating from the nonsuperconducting model survive at zero energy, revealing a fourfold-degenerate ground state. However, interactions break the aforementioned discrete symmetry and completely remove this degeneracy, thereby producing a unique ground state which ischaracterized by a topological bulk invariant with respect to the product of fermion parity and bond inversion. In contrast, the Majorana edge modes are globally robust to interactions. Moreover, the parameter range for which a topological Majorana phase is stabilized expands when increasing the repulsive Hubbard interaction. The topological phase diagram of the interacting model is obtained using a combination of mean-field theory and density matrix renormalization group techniques.

description: The ecological issues surrounding Highlands forest degradation and restoration were the focus of the State of the Forest Symposium on October 3, 2002. The objectives of the symposium were to present scientific research and expert views regarding the current health of the forests in the Highlands and to provide a forum for discussing solutions and future actions to preserve and enhance the forest resources in the region. The keynote speaker stressed the importance of maintaining healthy forests for reducing air pollution and preserving water resources. Other speakers addressed specific ecological stressors and challenges in preserving the Highlands forests, as well as methodologies for restoring the forests to a healthy state. Also presented were scientific studies of the destructive impact of non-native Asiatic earthworms on forest soils and how ecosystem degradation affects wildlife diversity and habitat. The afternoon sessions included interactive discussions in which expert panelists and conference participants brainstormed possible solutions and actions. Ideas for future actions included new legislation on invasive plant species and better management of white-tailed deer populations.

description: We investigate 3D bow shocks in a highly collisional magnetized aluminum plasma, generated during the ablation phase of an exploding wire array on the MAGPIE facility (1.4 MA, 240 ns). Ablation of plasma from the wire array generates radially diverging, supersonic ($M_S \sim 7$), super-Alfvénic ($M_A > 1$) magnetized flows with frozen-in magnetic flux ($R_M \gg 1$). These flows collide with an inductive probe placed in the flow, which serves both as the obstacle that generates the magnetized bow shock, and as a diagnostic of the advected magnetic field. Laser interferometry along two orthogonal lines of sight is used to measure the line-integrated electron density. A detached bow shock forms ahead of the probe, with a larger opening angle in the plane parallel to the magnetic field than in the plane normal to it. Since the resistive diffusion length of the plasma is comparable to the probe size, the magnetic field decouples from the ion fluid at the shock front and generates a hydrodynamic shock, whose structure is determined by the sonic Mach number, rather than the magnetosonic Mach number of the flow. 3D simulations performed using the resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code GORGON confirm this picture, but under-predict the anisotropy observed in the shape of the experimental bow shock, suggesting that non-MHD mechanisms may be important for modifying the shock structure.

description: Since October 2010, the Chemistry-Biology Combined Major Program (CBCMP), an international course taught in English at Osaka University, has been teaching small classes (no more than 20 in size). We present data from the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) given to first year classical mechanics students (N=47 students over three years) pre and post score, for a class that predominantly uses interactive engagement (IE), such as MasteringPhysics. Our findings show a $G$-factor improved score of about $\sim$ 0.18, which is marginally about the average of a traditional based course. Furthermore, we analyse in detail a set of six questions from the FCI, involving the identification of forces acting on a body. We find that student answers tend to cluster about "polarising choices"-a pair of choices containing the correct choice and a wrong choice with the latter corresponding to a superset of forces in the former. Our results are suggestive that students have a good idea of the right set of forces acting on a given system but the inclusion of extra force(s) brings about confusion; something that may be explained by misleading ontological categorisation of forces. In an appendix we also comment on possible correlations between the pre/post score and the level of English ability on entry to the course.

description: We derive the nucleon-nucleon interaction from the Skyrme model using the instanton and product approximations to skyrmion dynamics. In doing so, we also calculate the classical potential and metric for skyrmion dynamics in each of the approximations. This is the first time they have been compared in detail and the results show major disagreements between the approximations. We derive the eight low energy nucleon-nucleon interaction potentials and compare them with the Paris model. For the instanton approximation we find strong negative isoscalar and isovector spin-orbit potentials, matching phenomenological models and our geometric intuition. Results for the other potentials are mixed, in part due to the zero pion mass limit used in this approximation.

description: Non-equilibrium physics of random events, or fluctuations, is a unique fingerprint of a given system. Here we demonstrate that in non-interacting systems with dynamics driven essentially by Majorana states the effective charge e*, characterizing the electric current fluctuations, is fractional. This is in contrast to non-interacting Dirac systems with the trivial electronic charge e* = e. In the Majorana state, however, we predict two different fractional effective charges at low and high energies, e(1)* = e/2 e(h)* = 3e/2, accessible at low and high bias voltages, respectively. Weshow that while the lowenergy effective charge e(1)* is sensitive to thermal fluctuations of the current, the high-energy effective charge e(h)* is robust against thermal noise. A unique fluctuation signature of Majorana fermions is therefore encoded in the high- voltage tails of the electric current noise easily accessible in experiments on strongly non- equilibrium systems even at high temperatures.

description: State-of-the-art theoretical studies anticipate a 2D Dirac system in the "heavy'' analogues of graphene, free-standing buckled honeycomb-like Xenes (X = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, etc.). Herewith we regard a 2D sheet, which structurally and electronically resembles Xenes, in a 3D periodic, rhombohedral structure of layered AXTe (A = Ga, In; X = Ge, Sn) bulk materials. This structural family is predicted to host a 3D strong topological insulator with Z(2) = 1;(111) as a result of functionalization of the Xene derivative by covalent interactions. The parent structure GaGeTe is a long-known bulk semiconductor; the "heavy'', isostructural analogues InSnTe and GaSnTe are predicted to be dynamically stable. Spin-orbit interaction in InSnTe opens a small topological band gap with inverted gap edges that are mainly composed of the In-5s and Te-5p states. Our simulations classify GaSnTe as a semimetal with topological properties, whereas the verdict for GaGeTe is not conclusive and urges further experimental verification. The AXTe family structures can be regarded as stacks of 2D layered cut-outs from a zincblende-type lattice and are composed of elements that are broadly used in modern semiconductor devices; hence they represent an accessible, attractive alternative for applications in spintronics. The layered nature of AXTe should facilitate the exfoliation of their hextuple layers and manufacture of heterostructures.

description: We study the performance of spin-component-scaled second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (SCS-MP2) for the prediction of the lattice constant, bulk modulus, and cohesive energy of 12 simple, three-dimensional, covalent and ionic semiconductors and insulators. We find that SCS-MP2 and the simpler scaled opposite-spin MP2 (SOS-MP2) yield predictions that are significantly improved over the already good performance of MP2. Specifically, when compared to experimental values with zero-point vibrational corrections, SCS-MP2 (SOS-MP2) yields mean absolute errors of 0.015 (0.017) Å for the lattice constant, 3.8 (3.7) GPa for the bulk modulus, and 0.06 (0.08) eV for the cohesive energy, which are smaller than those of leading density functionals by about a factor of two or more. We consider a reparameterization of the spin scaling parameters and find that the optimal parameters for these solids are very similar to those already in common use in molecular quantum chemistry, suggesting good transferability and reliable future applications to surface chemistry on insulators.

description: Formation of supermassive black holes (BHs) remains a theoretical challenge. In many models, especially beginning from stellar relic "seeds," this requires sustained super-Eddington accretion. While studies have shown BHs can violate the Eddington limit on accretion disk scales given sufficient "fueling" from larger scales, what remains unclear is whether or not BHs can actually capture sufficient gas from their surrounding ISM. We explore this in a suite of multi-physics high-resolution simulations of BH growth in magnetized, star-forming dense gas complexes including dynamical stellar feedback from radiation, stellar mass-loss, and supernovae, exploring populations of seeds with masses $\sim 1-10^{4}\,M_{\odot}$. In this initial study, we neglect feedback from the BHs: so this sets a strong upper limit to the accretion rates seeds can sustain. We show that stellar feedback plays a key role. Complexes with gravitational pressure/surface density below $\sim 10^{3}\,M_{\odot}\,{\rm pc^{-2}}$ are disrupted with low star formation efficiencies so provide poor environments for BH growth. But in denser cloud complexes, early stellar feedback does not rapidly destroy the clouds but does generate strong shocks and dense clumps, allowing $\sim 1\%$ of randomly-initialized seeds to encounter a dense clump with low relative velocity and produce runaway, hyper-Eddington accretion (growing by orders of magnitude). Remarkably, mass growth under these conditions is almost independent of initial BH mass, allowing rapid IMBH formation even for stellar-mass seeds. This defines a necessary (but perhaps not sufficient) set of criteria for runaway BH growth: we provide analytic estimates for the probability of runaway growth under different ISM conditions.

A two-step method for retrieving the longitudinal profile of an electron bunch from its coherent radiation

description: The coherent radiation emitted by an electron bunch provides a diagnostic signal that can be used to estimate its longitudinal distribution. Commonly only the amplitude of the intensity spectrum can be measured and the associated phase must be calculated to obtain the bunch profile. Very recently an iterative method was proposed to retrieve this phase. However ambiguities associated with non-uniqueness of the solution are always present in the phase retrieval procedure. Here we present a method to overcome the ambiguity problem by first performing multiple independent runs of the phase retrieval procedure and then second, sorting the good solutions by mean of cross-correlation analysis. Results obtained with simulated bunches of various shapes and experimental measured spectra are presented, discussed and compared with the established Kramers-Kronig method. It is shown that even when the effect of the ambiguities is strong, as is the case for a double peak in the profile, the cross-correlation post-processing is able to filter out unwanted solutions. We show that, unlike the Kramers-Kronig method, the combined approach presented is able to faithfully reconstruct complicated bunch profiles.
