We use self-consistent quantum transport theory to investigate the influence of layer Fermi energy and temperature on the interlayer transport properties of bilayer graphene in the regime of excitonic superfluidity. We conclude that at low temperature the critical tunneling currents and quasiparticle penetration depths are well explained by the existing zero-temperature pseudospin torque model....

We examine the shapes and energies of 5and 7-fold disclinations in low-temperature hexatic membranes. These defects buckle at different values of the ratio of the bending rigidity, κ, to the hexatic stiffness constant, KA, suggesting two distinct Kosterlitz-Thouless defect proliferation temperatures. Seven-fold disclinations are studied in detail numerically for arbitrary κ/KA. We argue that th...

We report a systematic computational investigation of the possibility to accelerate the rate-limiting thermal isomerizations of the rotary cycles of synthetic light-driven overcrowded alkene-based molecular motors through modulation of steric interactions. Choosing as a reference system a second-generation motor known to accomplish rotary motion in the MHz regime and using density functional th...

− Power quality measurement analysis of the electrostatic precipitator in thermal power plant under different working conditions is presented in the paper. Control of electrostatic precipitator is realized by digitally controlled antiparallel thyristors. In the first regime (continual) the constant firing angle of thyristor is set in dependence of the reference current. In other regime (intermi...

entry region of a rectangular microchannel is investigated. The wall heat flux is peripherally constant and varies exponentially with respect to the axis of the microchannel. The flow is assumed to be hydrodynamically fully developed. The three-dimensional energy conservation equation is solved numerically for different aspect ratios. Surface interaction parameters consist of momentum accommoda...

An upgraded phase contrast imaging (PCI) diagnostic is used to study turbulence and transport in Alcator C-Mod. The upgraded PCI system is capable of measuring density fluctuations with high temporal (2 kHz-5 MHz) and wavenumber (0.5-55 cm) resolution. An upgrade of the system has enabled PCI to localize the short wavelength turbulence in the electron temperature gradient (ETG) range and resolv...
