In spite of the fact that the effect of earthquake on earth dams has been widely studied during the past decades, the complicated behavior of such earth structures against different seismological characteristics is still unknown. Such ambiguities necessitate more accurate studies using more comprehensive computation tools to achieve new results describing the behavior of such structures subject...

We studied the electronic structure of rare-earth ditelluride (ReTe2: Re = La, Pr, Sm, and Gd) using photoemission spectroscopy. From the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of the 3d core levels of rare-earth elements, we found that all the rare earth elements are trivalent. We have also made theoretical calculations using the Gunnarsson and Schönhammer approximation and multiplet cal...

High-quality In0.53Ga0.47As epilayers have been grown on semi-insulating ~100! Fe-doped InP substrates. The growths were performed by liquid phase epitaxy ~LPE! using rare-earth-doped melts in a graphite boat. The rare-earth elements studied were Yb, Gd and Er which act as gettering agents of impurities. Hall measurements show an elevated electron mobility for rare-earth-treated samples over un...
