The measurement of the energy loss spectra of energetic electrons scattered from Xe over large angles is reported. The incoming energy was chosen between 600 eV and 1550 eV. The calculated Xe elastic scattering cross section has a sharp minimum for 750 eV electrons near 135◦. This minimum is confirmed by studying a Xe–H2 mixture and separating their elastic peak based on the recoil effect. The ...

Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) detects various types of high- and low-energy elementary excitations in correlated solids, this tool will play an increasingly important role investigations time-dependent phenomena photo-excited systems. While theoretical frameworks for the computation equilibrium RIXS spectra are well established, development appropriate methods nonequilibrium simula...

In seismic resistance design, the design seismic motion is usually defined by elastic response spectra to reflect the characteristic in frequency. Whilst, either the phase of a reference seismic record or random phase is used in generation of artificial wave. The influence of phase on structural response can not be properly defined, as it is often omitted for linear elastic responses. But for t...

Results of an experimental investigation of the seismic performance of prefabricated column-footing connections are presented. Tests were conducted on six 1/4-scale prefabricated column specimens inserted into prefabricated footings in two Groups. Group-1 consisted of four specimens, which were tested under constant axial load and cyclic inelastic lateral displacements. The remaining two specim...

: The doping-dependent evolution of the d-wave superconducting state is studied from the perspective of the angle-resolved photoemission spectra of a high-Tc cuprate, Bi2Sr2CaCu2 O8+δ (Bi2212). The anisotropic evolution of the energy gap for Bogoliubov quasiparticles is parametrized by critical temperature and superfluid density. The renormalization of nodal quasiparticles is evaluated in terms...

For performance-based design, nonlinear dynamic structural analysis using various types of input ground motions is required. Stochastic (simulated) ground motions are sometimes useful as input motions, because their properties can be varied systematically to study the impact of ground-motion properties on structural response, and producing large numbers of ground motions is simple. This paper d...
