Hidden surface channel in two-dimensional multilayers

Hybrid free-surface flows in a two-dimensional channel.

Hybrid free-surface flows past disturbances in a two-dimensional channel are identified and studied. The fluid is assumed to be inviscid and incompressible, and the flow to be steady and irrotational. The disturbances consist of a step in the bottom of the channel and a flat object lying on the free-surface (e.g., a sluice gate). A weakly nonlinear one-dimensional analysis is used to classify t...

Hidden symmetries in two dimensional field theory

The bosonization process elegantly shows the equivalence of massless scalar and fermion fields in two space-time dimensions. However, with multiple fermions the technique often obscures global symmetries. Witten’s non-Abelian bosonization makes these symmetries explicit, but at the expense of a somewhat complicated bosonic action. Frenkel and Kac have presented an intricate mathematical formali...

Two-dimensional XY -like amorphous Co68Fe24Zr8/Al70Zr30 multilayers

We present an experimental realization of a magnetic two-dimensional XY system using amorphous materials. The classification of the dimensionality is based on the critical behavior of amorphous Co68Fe24Zr8(d)/Al70O30 (20Å) multilayers, where d = 11 − 16Å. Analysis of the remanent magnetization, the magnetic isotherms, the initial susceptibility, and the magnetic correlation length shows that th...
