We present a brief critical review of modern theoretical interpretations of the low-threshold field emission phenomenon for metallic electrodes covered with carbon structures, taking the latest experiments into consideration, and confirming the continuity of spectrum of resonance states localized on the interface of the metallic body of the cathode and the carbon cover. Our proposal allowed us ...

Complete wetting is a universal phenomenon associated with interfaces separating coexisting phases. For example, in the pure gluon theory , at T c an interface separating two distinct high-temperature de-confined phases splits into two confined-deconfined interfaces with a complete wetting layer of confined phase between them. In supersym-metric Yang-Mills theory, distinct confined phases may c...

In condensed matter physics the quasi two-dimensional electron gas at the interface of two different insulators, polar LaAlO3 on nonpolar SrTiO3 (LaAlO3/SrTiO3) is a spectacular and surprising observation. This phenomenon is LaAlO3 film thickness dependent and may be explained by the polarization catastrophe model, in which a charge transfer of 0.5e(-) from the LaAlO3 film into the LaAlO3/SrTiO...

Charge trapping and the generation of interface traps in thermally grown Si02 and its interface with silicon, produced by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling injection at low temperatures from highly doped Si substrates, have been investigated. The results that can be obtained with the constant-current-injection method, when a moderate amount of charge is trapped inside the potential barrier, have been a...

purpose: to report the clinical, histopathologic, microbiologic and confocal microscopic features of candida keratitis after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk). patients and findings: the first patient presented with asymptomatic white to cream-colored interface deposits two months after dalk. confocal scan disclosed clusters of hyper-reflective fine granular deposits in the interface w...

Thermodynamically consistent phase field theory for multivariant martensitic transformations is developed with the main focus on introducing correct interface stresses (tension). The nontrivial point is that the interface tension (physical phenomenon) is introduced with the help of some geometric nonlinearities, even when strains are infinitesimal. Total stress at the diffuse interface consists...

The fat-gland interface in the breast is noteworthy in that major vessels and lymphatic channels supplying the breast are located there; however, the relationship between breast lesion formation and the fat-gland interface is poorly understood. Here we evaluate the location of malignant and benign breast lesions with respect to the fat-gland interface in 881 women 50 years of age and younger, u...
