MAGIC is a single-dish Cherenkov telescope located on La Palma (Spain), hence with an optimal view on the Northern sky. Sensitive in the 30 GeV – 30 TeV energy band, it is nowadays the only ground-based instrument being able to measure high-energy γ-rays below 100 GeV. We review the most recent experimental results on Galactic sources obtained using MAGIC. These include pulsars, binary systems,...

2014 The thermoreflectance spectrum of tungsten is reported for the energy range of 0.3 to 4.5 eV. The observed structures are interpreted in terms of transitions in qualitative agreement with the calculated electronic band structure. The data yields a spin-orbit parameter of about 0.50 eV.

We give a general description of our approach which explains many physical properties in the superconducting and normal states of almost 2D high Tc superconductors (HTSC). This 2D character leads to the existence of Van Hove singularities or saddle points in the band structure of these compounds. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

– The electronic structure and band symmetries of the ferroelectric phase of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) are studied by using the first-principles density-functional method. Our calculated results agree well with the angle-resolved photoemission experiments. We find that the PVDF crystal has an energy gap of about 6 eV at the Γ-point. Large dispersion of the valence band is found only alo...

The Crab Pulsar (PSR B0531+21) was observed by the four Narrow Field Instruments onboard the Italian-Dutch satellite BeppoSAX in August and September 1996, during the Science Verification Phase. The fine time resolution (15 μs) and high statistics provided phase histograms of very good quality over the entire energy band (0.1–300 keV) covered by BeppoSAX payload. In this letter we present a det...

The FIGARO II experiment observed the Crab pulsar in the energy range 0.15-4 MeV during two transmediterranean flights, on 1990 July 9 and on 1986 July 11. A detailed analysis of the pulse profiles shows that the profile in the energy band 0.37-0.51 MeV is characterized, in addition to the main ones, by the presence in the Interpeak region of two other peaks, which could be associated with the ...
