We present a method for joint inversion of teleseismic and ambient noise Rayleigh wave data for phase velocity maps from 18 to 50 s period. We adapt the two-plane wave method for teleseismic data to include ambient noise phase data. We apply themethod to data from Iceland’s ICEMELT and HOTSPOT arrays. Checkerboard tests show that the joint inversion improves phase velocity model recovery over m...

The title compound, C31H27F3O7, is a liquid crystal and exhibits enanti-otropic SmA and nematic phase transitions. In the crystal, the the 2H-chromene ring system makes dihedral angles of 54.46 (17) and 7.79 (16)°, respectively, with the central benzene ring and 4-(hept-yloxy)benzene ring. The three F atoms of the -CF3 group are disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.62...

Formation and stability of n-undecane in water nanoemulsions prepared by EIP method (Emulsion Inversion Point) in the presence of two nonionic surfactants were studied. In the study, the influences of surfactant concentration, HLB value and oil–to–water ratio on the particle size and distribution were investigated. The stability of emulsions was evaluated from changes in particle size distribut...

Each iteration in Grover’s original quantum search algorithm contains 4 steps: two Hadamard-Walsh transformations and two amplitudes inversions. When the inversion of the marked state is replaced by arbitrary phase rotation θ and the inversion for the prepared state |γ〉 is replaced by rotation through φ, we found that these phase rotations must satisfy a matching condition θ = φ. Approximate fo...

A band gap for electronic states in crystals governs various properties of solids, such as transport, optical, and magnetic properties. Its estimation and control have been an important issue in solid-state physics. The band gap can be controlled externally by various parameters, such as pressure, atomic compositions, and external field. Sometimes, the gap even collapses by tuning some paramete...
