1/t pressure and fermion behaviour of water in two dimensions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variety of metal vacuum systems display the celebrated 1/t pressure, namely power-law dependence on time t, with the exponent close to unity, the origin of which has been a long-standing controversy. Here we propose a chemisorption model for water adsorbates, based on the argument for fermion behaviour of water vapour adsorbed on a stainless-steel surface, and obtain analytically the power-law behaviour of pressure, with an exponent of unity. Further, the model predicts that the pressure should depend on the temperature T according to T(3/2), which is indeed confirmed by our experiment. Our results should help elucidate the unique characteristics of the adsorbed water.

Tight- binding study of electronic band structure of anisotropic honeycomb lattice
The two-dimensional structure of graphene, consisting of an isotropic hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, shows fascinating electronic properties, such as a gapless energy band and Dirac fermion behavior of electrons at fermi surface. Anisotropy can be induced in this structure by electrochemical pressure. In this article, by using tight-binding method, we review anisotropy effects in the elect...

Integrated Analysis of Choke Performance and Flow Behaviour in High-Rate, Deviated Gas-Condensate Wells
 Understanding the flow behaviour in a gas well is crucial for future production strategies, obtaining bottomhole conditions from wellhead production data, analyzing production data and estimating reservoir properties. In this work, the pressure profile and flow regime are studied on four wells of a multi-well, multi-layer gas-condensate reservoir, producing at high rate. The wells are deviate...
متن کاملMatching the High Momentum Modes in a Truncated Determinant Algorithm
Because QCD in four dimensions is renormalizable, not super-renormalizable, the fluctuations of the fermion determinant are significant at all physical scales. Fortunately the short distance behaviour of QCD is very well understood. In particular, we know that for sufficiently high momentum scales this physics should be accurately described by an improved gauge action. In the truncated determin...
متن کاملClay sedimentation and consolidation behaviour in tailing storage facilities over mine lifetime
Changes in the tailing properties (increasing clay mineral content and fine particles) and poor operation of the dewatering systems have negative impacts on the Tailing Storage Facilities (TSF) of the Shahrbabak copper complex. The design solid concentration of the thickened tailings is 63 wt.% in the Shahrbabak paste plant but it is well below the design value right now (approx. 55 wt.%). The ...
