We calculate de Gennes’ extrapolation length for a d-wave superconductor near a surface within Fermiliquid theory. The extrapolation length depends critically on the orientation of the surface relative to the crystal axes and on the surface roughness. This sensitivity of the boundary conditions for a d-wave order parameter to surface conditions is not found in traditional s-wave superconductors...

Momentum and scalar transport in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) is driven by a turbulent mix of winds, buoyancy, and surface gravity waves. To investigate the interaction between these processes, a large-eddy simulation (LES)model is developed with the capability to impose a broadband spectrum of time-varying finite-amplitude surface waves at its lower boundary. The LES model adop...

We present studies of the electronic structure of La(2-x)BaxCuO4, a system where the superconductivity is strongly suppressed as static spin and charge orders or "stripes" develop near the doping level of x = (1/8). Using angle-resolved photoemission and scanning tunneling microscopy, we detect an energy gap at the Fermi surface with magnitude consistent with d-wave symmetry and with linear den...

In this work the electrooxidation half-wave potentials of some Benzoxazines were predicted from their structural molecular descriptors by using quantitative structure-property relationship (QSAR) approaches. The dataset consist the half-wave potential of 40 benzoxazine derivatives which were obtained by DC-polarography. Descriptors which were selected by stepwise multiple selection procedure ar...

The problem of propagation of plane wave including body and surface waves propagating in a transversely isotropic half-space with a depth-wise axis of material symmetry is investigated in details. Using the advantage of representation of displacement fields in terms of two complete scalar potential functions, the coupled equations of motion are uncoupled and reduced to two independent equations...

The effects of paramagnetic depairing on structural transitions between vortex lattices of a quasi-two-dimensional d-wave superconductor are examined. We find that, when the Maki parameter alphaM is of order unity, a square lattice induced by a d-wave pairing is destabilized with increasing fields, and that a reentrant rhombic lattice occurs in higher fields. Further, a weak Fermi surface aniso...

The present problem deals with the propagation of Love-type surface waves in a bedded structure comprises of an inhomogeneous orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. The upper boundary and the interface between two media are considered to be corrugated. An analytical method (separation of variables) is adapted to solve the second order PDEs, which governs the equations of motion. Equations...

Near-surface structure investigation plays an important role in studying shallow active faults and has various engineering applications. Therefore, we developed a near-surface method using ambient noise water environment. This newly seismic acquisition technology, fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), was used to acquire from the Yangtze River. The recorded data were processed reconst...
