We consider the properties of l-dimensional gauge field-theories at finite temperatures and densities. The massive Schwinger model in the presence of a uniform charge background is shown to form a Wigner crystal which Debye screens charged impurities. The two species Schwinger model with oppositely charged fermions is studied at finite baryon density. This system does not undergo a phase transi...

I have calculated the dependence of the electrostatic persistence length on the Debye screening length for semiflexible, strongly and weakly charged flexible polyelectrolytes. For semiflexible and strongly charged flexible polyelectrolytes the electrostatic part of the chain persistence length is proportional to the Debye screening length. This result is obtained by evaluating the bending angle...

Sound velocities of bridgmanite measured in the laboratory are a key to deciphering the composition of the lower mantle. Here, we report Debye sound velocities determined using nuclear inelastic scattering (NIS) for one majorite composition (Mg0.82Fe0.18SiO3) and five bridgmanite compositions (Mg0.82Fe0.18SiO3, Mg0.86Fe0.14Si0.98Al0.02O3, Mg0.88Fe0.12SiO3, Mg0.6Fe0.4Si0.63Al0.37O3, Mg0.83Fe0.15...

In this work, the eSAFT-VR Mie equation of state (EoS) is extended to low relative permittivity, non-aqueous solutions. The effect using different permittivity relations for electrolyte solutions studied, ranging from experimentally measured values a salt-composition independent permittivity. Furthermore, approaches characteristic diameters in Debye-Hückel and Born terms presented. EoS reparame...

The paper gives an analytical transition from the Maxwell Garnett model of a biphasic mixture (dielectric host and dielectric or conducting inclusions) to the parameters of a singleor double-term Debye representation of the material frequency response. The paper is focused on modeling biphasic mixtures containing cylindrical inclusions. This is practically important for engineering electromagne...

Using a combination of dielectric spectroscopy and atomistic computer simulation techniques, the dynamical behaviour of loosely bound cations in the stuffed-silica minerals nepheline, yoshiokaite and ß-eucryptite has been investigated. The investigation has been extended to include the feldspar minerals albite, K-feldspar and anorthite. The low-frequency dielectric properties of all of the mine...

Synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns from an extensively ball-milled iron alloy powder were collected at 100, 200 and 300 K. The results were analysed together with those using extended X-ray absorption fine structure, measured on the same sample at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) and at room temperature (300 K), to assess the contribution of static disorder to the Debye-Wa...

The Debye screening mass for a quark-gluon plasma at high temperature is calculated to next-to-leading order in the QCD coupling constant from the correlator of two Polyakov loops. The result agrees with the screening mass defined by the location of the pole in the gluon propagator as calculated by Rebhan. It is logarithmically sensitive to nonperturbative effects associated with the screening ...

The structure of Nd0.75Sm0.25GaO3 was studied by high-resolution powder diffraction methods using conventional x-ray and synchrotron radiation in the temperature range 85–1173 K. The GdFeO3 structure type was confirmed for Nd0.75Sm0.25GaO3 in the temperature region investigated and no structural transitions were observed. The cell parameters show a monotonic and anisotropic increase with temper...

In this report we consider an electromagnetic interrogation technique for identifying the dielectric parameters of a Debye medium in two and three dimensions. These parameters include the dielectric permittivity, the conductivity and the relaxation time of the Debye medium. In this technique a travelling acoustic pressure wave that is generated in the Debye medium is used as a virtual reflector...
