A bstract Surface charges of a p -form theory on the boundary an AdS d +1 spacetime are computed. Counter-terms produce divergent corner-terms which holographically renormalize symplectic form. Different choices conditions lead to various expressions for and associated fluxes. With usual standard conditions, there conserved zero-mode charges. Moreover, we explore two leaky admit infinite number...

We propose to measure the surface charge accumulating at interface between a plasma and dielectric by infrared spectroscopy using as multi-internal reflection element. The surplus leads an attenuation of transmitted signal from which magnitude can be inferred. Calculating optical response perturbatively in first order Boltzmann equation for electron-hole inside solid, we show that parameter ran...

This paper considers the effect of surface charges on the surface instability of thin conductive liquid films. A characteristic relation is obtained for determining the wave number of the fastest growing mode as a function of surface tension, dispersive van der Waals force, and electrostatic tractions exerted by the film surface charges. Two natural length scales of the microsystem are further ...

In this work, we present non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) simulations of the (001) surface of silver and supported MgO thin films. From the calculated force spectroscopy, we predict atomic resolution at tip-surface distances of less than 5 Å. For KPFM, we study the influence of charges localized on either the tip or on the surface on the Kelv...

Modern derivations of the first law of black holes appear to show that the only charges that arise are monopole charges that can be obtained by surface integrals at infinity. However, the recently discovered five dimensional black ring solutions empirically satisfy a first law in which dipole charges appear. We resolve this contradiction and derive a general form of the first law for black ring...

We study the distribution of ions and water within a pore in a polarizable membrane, in the presence of a stiff polyelectrolyte threaded through the pore. In this system, which represents a typical situation during the translocation of DNA, the distribution of both the ions and the water molecules is affected by the induced charges on the surface of the polarizable nanopore. Specifically, the c...
