We calculate the quasinormal modes and associated frequencies of the Bañados, Zanelli and Teitelboim (BTZ) non-rotating black hole. This black hole lives in 2+1-dimensions in an asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime. We obtain exact results for the wavefunction and quasi normal frequencies of scalar, electromagnetic and Weyl (neutrino) perturbations. E-mail: [email protected] E-mail:...

The two-dimensional, free-electron-like band structure of noble metal surfaces can be radically transformed by appropriate nanostructuration. A case example is the triangular dislocation network that characterizes the epitaxial Ag/Cu(111) system, which exhibits a highly featured band topology with a full band gap above E(F) and a hole-pocket-like Fermi surface. Here we show that controlled dopi...

In this paper, a novel hole-filling algorithm for triangular meshes is proposed. Firstly, the hole is triangulated into a set of new triangles using modified principle of minimum angle. Then the initial patching mesh is refined according to the density of vertices on boundary edges. Finally, the patching mesh is optimized via the bilateral filter to recover missed features. Experimental results...

The effect of pressure on acceptor levels and hole scattering mechanisms in p-GaSe is investigated through Hall effect and resistivity measurements under quasi-hydrostatic conditions up to 4 GPa. The pressure dependence of the hole concentration is interpreted through a carrier statistics equation with a single (nitrogen) or double (tin) acceptor whose ionization energies decrease under pressur...

We investigate the origin of the matching effect observed in superconducting Nb films containing regular arrays of holes near the zero-field critical temperature. We find “dips” in the resistance vs magnetic field curves at matching fields where the magnitude of the magnetic flux threading each unit cell is an integer number of the flux quantum. By comparing the magnetic field dependences of th...

Cs2CuBr4 and Ba3NiSb2O9 are magnetically described as quasi-two-dimensional triangular-lattice antiferromagnets with spin1 2 and 1, respectively. We show that both systems exhibit a magnetization plateau at one-third of the saturation magnetization Ms due to the interplay of spin frustration and quantum fluctuation. In Cs2CuBr4 that has a spatially anisotropic triangular lattice, successive mag...
