Resultant entropy/information, phase/entropy continuity and bond multiplicities in degenerate electronic states

Finite - wavevector phonon coupling to degenerate electronic states in La

Electronic cigarette solutions and resultant aerosol profiles.

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are growing in popularity exponentially. Despite their ever-growing acceptance, their aerosol has not been fully characterized. The current study focused on evaluating e-cigarette solutions and their resultant aerosol for potential differences. A simple sampling device was developed to draw e-cigarette aerosol into a multi-sorbent thermal desorption (TD) tub...

The United States National Security Strategy under Bush and Obama: Continuity and Change

The foreign policy of states determines the way they behave in the international arena. Accurate analysis of official foreign policy documents of a country is helpful in that it shows what the international priorities of a country are at specific periods. This article reviews the U.S. National Security Strategy documents published in 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2015 from the perspective of the percept...

Localized States and resultant band bending in graphene antidot superlattices.

We fabricated dye sensitized graphene antidot superlattices with the purpose of elucidating the role of the localized edge state density. The fluorescence from deposited dye molecules was found to strongly quench as a function of increasing antidot filling fraction, whereas it was enhanced in unpatterned but electrically backgated samples. This contrasting behavior is strongly indicative of a b...

Degenerate and Non - Degenerate Ground States for Schrdinger Operators

In the study of quantum mechanical energy operators, particular attention is paid to the question of whether the bottom of the spectrum is an eigenvalue and whether that eigenvalue is simple. The corresponding eigenvector is usually called the gound state. Throughout our discussion we will say that a self-adjoint operator H has no ground state degeneracy when either E inf spectrum H is not an e...
