The simultaneous effect of 3d impurities of transition metals and oxygen vacancy defect on TiO2 anatase and rutile
In this work, the formation of oxygen-vacancy defect in 3d metals-doped TiO2 anatase and rutile structures is first investigated. The systematic calculations of formation energy, crystalline stability, band structure and density of state (DOS) of TiO2 samples of anatase and rutile doped with 3d transition metals with and without oxygen defect is done using FHI-aims as a software package based o...
متن کاملDefect Formation and Critical Dynamics in the Early Universe
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics leading to the formation of topological defects in a symmetry-breaking phase transition of a quantum scalar field with λΦ4 self-interaction in a spatially flat, radiation-dominated FriedmannRobertson Walker Universe. The quantum field is initially in a finitetemperature symmetry-restored state and the phase transition develops as the Universe expands and coo...
متن کاملBounds on Dirac neutrino masses from nucleosynthesis.
We derive new bounds on the Dirac mass of the tau and muonic neutrinos. By solving the kinetic equation for the rate of energy deposition due to helicity flipping processes and imposing the constraint that the number of effective species contributing to the energy density at the time of nucleosynthesis be ∆kν < 0.3, we find the bounds mνμ < 150 KeV and mντ < 190 KeV for TQCD = 200 MeV. The cons...
متن کاملTopological String Defect Formation During the Chiral Phase Transition
We argue for the existence of topological string defects in chiral sigma models. We discuss the formation of these strings during the chiral phase transitions in the early Universe and in the high energy heavy-ion collisions. Chiral symmetry as well as deconfinement are restored in the core of these defects. Formation of a dense network of string defects is likely to play an important role in t...
متن کاملLocal Gauge Invariance and Formation of Topological Defects
In superconductors, and in other systems with a local U(1) gauge invariance, there are two mechanisms that form topological defects in phase transitions. In addition to the standard Kibble mechanism, thermal fluctuations of the magnetic field also lead to defect formation. This mechanism is specific to local gauge theories, predicts a qualitatively different spatial defect distribution and is t...
