We consider the low-energy collective excitations at finite temperature of Bose– Einstein condensed gases (and liquids as well). A most general model-independent effective Lagrangian is written down according to a prescription obtained from the breakdown of the global symmetry U(1). To show how the theory predicts easily, we derive the momentum and temperature dependence of the damping of excit...

Abstract Unclean air discharge refers to the phenomenon of a large number polluting gases, droplets or solid particles floating in air, which will cause insulation breakdown and safety accidents for power transmission equipment that have been left outdoors long time. In order investigate effects particle concentration, size dielectric constant on DC characteristics unclean gap, self‐made chambe...

Introduction Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is considered one of the most convenient and efficient analytical techniques for trace elemental analysis in gases, solids, and liquids. Both non-invasive and non-destructive, LIBS requires little-to-no sample preparation and can easily be performed either in the lab or in the field in hazardous industrial environments in real-time. Remot...

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is typically performed at ambient Earth atmospheric conditions. However, interest in LIBS in other atmospheric conditions has increased in recent years, especially for use in space exploration (e.g., Mars and Lunar) or to improve resolution for isotopic signatures. This review focuses on what has been reported about the performance of LIBS in reduced ...

In disordered systems, our present understanding of the Anderson transition is hampered by the possible presence of interactions between particles. We demonstrate that in boson gases, even weak interactions deeply alter the very nature of the Anderson transition. While there still exists a critical point in the system, below that point a novel phase appears, displaying a new critical exponent, ...

We investigate the breakdown of disordered networks under the action of an increasing external-mechanical or electrical-force. We perform a mean-field analysis and estimate scaling exponents for the approach to the instability. By simulating two-dimensional models of electric breakdown and fracture we observe that the breakdown is preceded by avalanche events. The avalanches can be described by...
