The extension of Green's functions techniques to the complex energy plane provides access to fully dressed quasiparticle properties from a microscopic perspective. Using self-consistent ladder self-energies, we find both spectra and lifetimes of such quasiparticles in nuclear matter. With a consistent choice of the group velocity, the nucleon mean-free path can be computed. Our results indicate...

Sub-quarter micron MOSFET’s and ring oscillators with 2.5–6 nm physical gate oxide thicknesses have been studied at supply voltages of 1.5–3.3 V. Idsat can be accurately predicted from a universal mobility model and a current model considering velocity saturation and parasitic series resistance. Gate delay and the optimal gate oxide thickness were modeled and predicted. Optimal gate oxide thick...

Subjects smoothly pursued a target moving horizontally at 15 deg/s. After pursuit for 1 s, the target jumped 3 deg ahead of the fovea. At the moment of the jump, target velocity became 0 and 'effective visual feedback' assumed a value of either 0 (target retinally stabilized), -0.2, -0.4, or -1.0 (target fixed in space). With 0 visual feedback the eye continued to move smoothly at a moderate ve...

We study the statistical properties of population dynamics evolving in a realistic two-dimensional compressible turbulent velocity field. We show that the interplay between turbulent dynamics and population growth and saturation leads to quasilocalization and a remarkable reduction in the carrying capacity. The statistical properties of the population density are investigated and quantified via...

The distribution of magnetic moments in a ferromagnetic crystal is investigated. It is found that such a crystal consists of elementary layers magnetized to saturation. The width of these layers is determined. In an external magnetic field, the boundaries between these layers move; the velocity of this propagation is determined. The magnetic permeability in a periodical field parallel and perpe...

We show that the anomalously short delay times observed in barrier tunneling have their origin in energy storage and its subsequent release. The observed group delay is proportional to the energy stored. This delay is not a propagation delay and should not be linked to a velocity since evanescent waves do not propagate. The "Hartman effect", in which the group delay becomes independent of thick...

We consider pulse propagation through a Fabry-Perot cavity with silver mirrors that contain macroscopic samples of resonant absorbers. We show that the pulse velocity can be tuned from subluminal to superluminal in a strongly coupled atom-cavity system. We delineate the effects of the interplay of cavity and absorbers. We demonstrate the saturation effects of pulse advancement with increasing m...

We have carried out an experimental study revealing that velocity saturation (usat) occurring in both the extrinsic source and drain sets a fundamental limit on maximum drain current and useful gate swing in HFET’s. Using AlGaAsl n f InCaAs HFET’s as a vehicle, we find that first gm and eventually f~ decline at high currents in two stages. Initially, the approach of vsat in the extrinsic device...

Important features of a deep-submicron MOSFET drain current model capable of supporting both digital and analog circuit simulations are described. Formulation of the commonly used mobility and velocity saturation models have to be revised to account for the influnce of the higher clecttic field in deep-submicron devices. For analog circuit simulations, output resistance modeling and smooth tran...
