We study the recently proposed D-brane configuration [1] modeling the quantum Hall effect, focusing on the nature of the interactions between the charged particles. Our analysis indicates that the interaction is repulsive, which it should be for the ground state of the system to behave as a quantum Hall liquid. The strength of interactions varies inversely with the filling fraction, leading us ...

The ground and low-lying electronic states of the 1,3,5-tridehydrobenzene triradical are characterized by electronic structure calculations. It is found that the ground state is the A1 doublet of C2v symmetry. Another doublet state lies 0.1–0.2 eV higher in energy, and the lowest quartet state of D3h symmetry is 1.2–1.4 eV higher in energy. Both doublets are degenerate at D3h geometries and und...

We suggest that a magnetic-field-induced Peierls instability accounts for the recent experiment of Zhang et al. in which unexpected quantum Hall plateaus were observed at high magnetic fields in graphene on a substrate. This Peierls instability leads to an out-of-plane lattice distortion resulting in a charge density wave (CDW) on sublattices A and B of the graphene honeycomb lattice. We also d...

The ν = 1 quantum Hall ground state in samples like GaAs is well known to be ferromagnetic. The global SU(2) spin symmetry of the microscopic action is broken down to a U(1) symmetry by the ground state. The Goldstone bosons corresponding to this spontaneous breaking of symmetry are the ferromagnetic magnons which are neutral spin waves. In addition, there are topologically nontrivial, electric...

A simple, yet accurate solution of the electron–phonon coupling problem in C 60 is presented. The basic idea behind it is to be found in the parametrization of the ground state electronic density of the system calculated making use of ab–initio methods, in term of sp 2+x hybridized orbitals. This parametrization allows for an economic determination of the deformation potential associated with t...

The present study investigated the effect of sumac (SWE) and Rosemary water extracts (RWE) on microbial growth in ground beef meat during refrigerated storage. The meat samples were explored for changes in TVC, E.coli (0157:H7) and S.aureus populations. Antimicrobial effectiveness of extracts was more pronounced against Gram-positive strain compared with Gram-negative strain. Antimicrobial impa...

Optimization of the sectional wing in ground effect (WIG) has been studied using ahigh order numerical procedure and response surface method (RSM). Initially, the effects of the ground clearance, angle of attack, thickness, and camber of wing have been investigated by a high-resolutionscheme, which is highlystrong and accurate. In the numerical simulation, Normalized Variable Diagram (NVD) sche...

Viscous effect of wing in ground effect in wind tunnel test was investigated numerically. Ground settings in wind tunnel test were simulated by specifying different ground boundary conditions in CFD. It was revealed for fixed-ground based wind tunnel test that: boundary layer developed from the ground deforms effective ground surface and introduces a decreased effective ground clearance; a shar...
