The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in FeSe/STO has trigged great research interest to reveal a range of exotic physical phenomena in this novel material. Here we present a temperature dependent magnetotransport measurement for ultrathin FeSe/STO films with different thickness and protection layers. Remarkably, a surprising linear magnetoresistance (LMR) is observed around the s...

Inelastic light scattering has been utilized for examining the structure of glass and its relaxation. However, the quasi-elastic-light-scattering (QLS) phenomenon has not been addressed in much detail. In this study, we observed pronounced QLS-intensity variations in two temperature domains-supercooled liquid (SCL) state (α-relaxation regime) and below the glass-transition temperature (β-relaxa...

Aging effects in the two-time correlation function and the response function after a quench from a high temperature to some low temperature are considered for a simple kinetic random energy model exhibiting stretched exponential relaxation. Because the system reaches thermal equilibrium for long times after the quench, all aging effect are of a transient nature. In particular, the violations of...

The focus of the article is on the analysis of effective elastic properties of planar Solid Oxide Fuell Cell (SOFC) devices. An ideal periodic multi-layered composite (SOFC-like) reproducing the overall properties of multi-layer SOFC devices is defined. Adopting a non-local dynamic homogenization method, explicit expressions for overall elastic moduli and inertial terms of this material are der...

The transmission of many vector-borne pathogens is strongly influenced by environmental temperature, via effects on the physiology of the insect vector and the pathogen. Therefore, changes in local environmental conditions could significantly impact the distributions and dynamics of a range of vector-borne diseases. Predicting the extent of possible changes in disease dynamics will require a de...

This study analyzed meteorological, clinical and economic factors in terms of their effects on monthly ED revenue and visitor volume. Monthly data from January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2009 were analyzed. Spearman correlation and cross-correlation analyses were performed to identify the correlation between each independent variable, ED revenue, and visitor volume. Autoregressive integrated movi...

Although quasicrystals have been studied for 25 years, there are many open questions concerning their stability: What is the role of phason fluctuations? Do quasicrystals transform into periodic crystals at low temperature? If yes, by what mechanisms? We address these questions here for a simple two-dimensional model system, a monatomic decagonal quasicrystal, which is stabilized by the Lennard...

By means of exact diagonalization we study the ground-state and the low-temperature physics of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron. Both are frustrated magnetic polytopes and correspond to the arrangement of magnetic atoms in the magnetic molecules Cu12La8 and Mo72Fe30. The interplay of strong quantum fluctuations and frustration influences the ground s...

We will look at the weakly interacting system at low temperatures. Already, without interactions, we have Bose condensation 〈 b+ 0 b0 〉 = N0 = N. (2) Interactions will reduce this, but if they are weak the depletion of the condensate will be a small fraction (N −N0)/N 1, or ∑ E k ′ 〈 bE k bE k 〉 N, (3) with ∑′ denoting the sum over all E k 6= 0. With the macroscopic occupation of the zero mode ...

Trap models are intuitively appealing and often solvable models of glassy dynamics. In particular, they have been used to study aging and the resulting out-of-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relations between correlations and response functions. In this note I show briefly that one such relation, first given by Bouchaud and Dean, is valid for a general class of mean-field trap models: it re...
