The rotationally inelastic scattering of methyl radical with Ar and N2 is examined at collision energies of 330 ± 25 cm(-1) and 425 ± 50 cm(-1), respectively. Differential cross sections (DCSs) were measured for different final n' rotational levels (up to n' = 5) of the methyl radicals, averaged over k' sub-levels, using a crossed molecular beam machine with velocity map imaging. For Ar as a co...

Regular spontaneous oscillations were recorded both electro- and optophysiologically using a voltage-sensitive absorption dye in the olfactory part of the brain (procerebral lobe of the cerebral ganglia) of the gastropod mollusk Helix lucorum. Odor application caused transient changes in procerebral oscillations, and an odor-evoked potential was recorded in the procerebrum (PC). The wave of evo...

The influence of chemical potential oscillations on the magnetization oscillations in two-dimensional multiband metals is investigated. In the regime of small chemical potential oscillations, the Fourier series of magnetization oscillations is derived. As a result, combination frequencies with significant amplitudes are found if the individual band frequencies differ significantly. The analytic...

We calculate the photon energy dependence of the pulsed amplitude of neutron star (NS) surface modes. Simple approximations demonstrate that it depends most strongly on the bursting NS surface temperature. This result compares well with full integrations that include Doppler shifts from rotation and general relativistic corrections to photon propagation. We show that the energy dependence of ty...

Pronounced oscillations of ocean temperature and salinity occur in the Greenland Sea in a 2000 year integration of a coupled ocean-atmosphere model. The oscillations, involving both the surface and subsurface ocean layers, have a timescale of approximately 40-80 years, and are associated with fluctuations in the intensity of the East Greenland Current. The Greenland Sea temperature and salinity...

Surface plasmon–polaritions, collective electron oscillations coupled to light waves at the surface of a metal, show unique properties that are valuable in a broad range of scientific fields. However, the intrinsic propagation loss of these waves poses a fundamental problem to many potential applications. To overcome this drawback, researchers have explored the possibility of loss compensation ...

We present a general theory of atomistic dynamical response in surface probe microscopy when two solid surfaces move with respect to each other in close proximity, when atomic instabilities are likely to occur. These instabilities result in a bistable potential energy surface, leading to temperature dependent atomic scale topography and damping (dissipation) images. The theory is illustrated on...

A detailed mathematical analysis is performed to understand the anode potential oscillations observed experimentally in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell ~PEMFC! with H2 /CO feed ~Ref. 9!. Temperature and anode flow rate are found to be key bifurcation parameters. The time dependence of all the key surface species must be accounted for in order for the model to predict the oscillatory behavi...

Magnetotransport measurements of topological insulators are very important to reveal the exotic topological surface states for spintronic applications. However, the novel properties related to the surface Dirac fermions are usually accompanied by a large linear magnetoresistance under perpendicular magnetic field, which makes the identification of the surface states obscure. Here, we report pro...
