We study the electronic dispersion for a graphene sheet and also a (5,5) single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) by using the
PWscf code from the ‘Quantum Espresso’ package. Two different types of pseudopotentials, ‘norm conserving’ and ‘ultra soft’,
have been employed and the results are more or less similar up to the Fermi level. By energy relaxation, it was found that,
if the inter-layer distance of graphite expands up to 4.5 times its in-layer (hexagonal) lattice constant, then each layer
can be considered as an individual graphene sheet and, in a bundle of (5,5) SWCNTs, the optimum separation between the tubes’
centers is about 19 a.u. and, if it expands to 22 a.u., then a single wall tube consideration can be made. The calculated
band structure and density of states (DOS) for the (5,5) SWCNT show that in the vicinity of the Fermi level there is no energy
gap (so that it is metallic) and there is a general agreement between them and zone-folding studies or other ab initio methods
in the literature. The effects of curvature on the band shifts and DOS have been considered, and they magnify the departure
from Mintmire and White’s universal prediction.

We present a ‘new generation’ model for high energy proton–proton ‘soft’ interactions. It allows for a full set of multipomeron
vertices as well as for including multichannel eikonal scattering. It describes the behaviour of the proton–proton total,
σtot, and elastic, dσel/dt, cross sections together with those for low- and high-mass proton dissociation. Although the model contains a comprehensive
set of multipomeron diagrams, it has a simple partonic interpretation. Including the more complicated multipomeron vertices
reduces the absorptive effects as compared to the predictions in which only the triple-pomeron vertex is considered. Tuning
the model to describe the available ‘soft’ data in the CERN ISR–tevatron energy range, we predict the total, elastic, single-
and double-diffractive dissociation cross sections at the LHC energy. An inescapable consequence of including multichannel
eikonal and multipomeron effects is that the total cross section is expected to be lower than before: indeed, we find σtot≃ 90 mb at the LHC energy. We also present differential forms of the cross sections. In addition, we calculate soft diffractive
central production. 相似文献

X-ray diffraction and colour centre studies have been carried out on RbCl-RbBr mixed crystals. The lattice constant closely
follows the linear form of Vegard’s law. The mean Debye-Waller factor shows a highly nonlinear composition dependence. The
composition dependence of the F-band peak position is slightly nonlinear but that of the F-band half-width is highly nonlinear.
The Ivey-Mollow relation holds for this system with an index of 2.5. The ‘size effect’ is found to have a dominant effect
on the F-band width. 相似文献

Recently, Hořava proposed a power counting renormalizable theory for (3+1)-dimensional quantum gravity, which reduces to Einstein
gravity with a non-vanishing cosmological constant in IR, but possesses improved UV behaviors. In this work, we analyze the
stability of the Einstein static universe by considering linear homogeneous perturbations in the context of an IR modification
of Hořava gravity, which implies a ‘soft’ breaking of the ‘detailed balance’ condition. The stability regions of the Einstein
static universe is parameterized by the linear equation of state parameter w=p/ρ and the parameters appearing in the Hořava theory, and it is shown that a large class of stable solutions exists in the respective
parameter space. 相似文献

In Lytle’s theory for the extended fine structure in x-ray absorption spectra, the potential at the boundary of the ‘equivalent
sphere’ around the absorbing atom, having volume equal to that of the Wigner-Seitz cell is considered to be infinite. It has
been observed that Lytle’s theory is applicable only in the case of metals and metallic systems. In the present paper the
extended fine structure associated with the LIII absorption spectra of some systems of ytterbium is interpreted on the basis of Lytle’s model, modified by using a finite
potential instead of an infinite one at the boundary of the equivalent sphere. The values of this potential are estimated
for eight systems of ytterbium. It has been shown that there exists a correlation between the potentials and covalency of
the compounds. 相似文献

We show how the early data runs of the LHC can provide valuable checks of the different components of the formalism used to
predict the cross sections of central exclusive processes. The ‘soft’ rapidity gap survival factor can be studied in electroweak
processes, such as W+gaps events, for which the bare amplitude is well known. The generalised gluon distribution, in the appropriate
kinematic region, can be probed by exclusive Υ production. The perturbative QCD effects, especially the Sudakov-like factor,
can be probed by exclusive two- and three-jet production. We discuss the possible role of enhanced absorptive corrections
that would violate the soft–hard factorisation implied in the usual formalism, and we suggest ways that the LHC may explore
their presence. 相似文献

A recent ontological variant of Cramer’s Transactional Interpretation, called “Possibilist Transactional Interpretation” or
PTI, is extended to the relativistic domain. The present interpretation clarifies the concept of ‘absorption,’ which plays
a crucial role in TI (and in PTI). In particular, in the relativistic domain, coupling amplitudes between fields are interpreted
as amplitudes for the generation of confirmation waves (CW) by a potential absorber in response to offer waves (OW), whereas
in the nonrelativistic context CW are taken as generated with certainty. It is pointed out that solving the measurement problem
requires venturing into the relativistic domain in which emissions and absorptions take place; nonrelativistic quantum mechanics
only applies to quanta considered as ‘already in existence’ (i.e., ‘free quanta’), and therefore cannot fully account for
the phenomenon of measurement, in which quanta are tied to sources and sinks. 相似文献

It is shown that the following three common understandings of Newton’s laws of motion do not hold for systems of infinitely
many components. First, Newton’s third law, or the law of action and reaction, is universally believed to imply that the total
sum of internal forces in a system is always zero. Several examples are presented to show that this belief fails to hold for
infinite systems. Second, two of these examples are of an infinitely divisible continuous body with finite mass and volume
such that the sum of all the internal forces in the body is not zero and the body accelerates due to this non-null net internal
force. So the two examples also demonstrate the breakdown of the common understanding that according to Newton’s laws a body
under no external force does not accelerate. Finally, these examples also make it clear that the expression ‘impressed force’
in Newton’s formulations of his first and second laws should be understood not as ‘external force’ but as ‘exerted force’
which is the sum of all the internal and external forces acting on a given body, if the body is infinitely divisible. 相似文献

The paper investigated a composite photonic crystal patch antenna by using the method of finite difference time domain (FDTD).
The results show that there exists a wave resonance state at 2.635 GHz, where the real part of the permittivity and permeability
are all negative; its refraction index is –1. The effect has largely enhanced the electromagnetic wave’s resonance intensity,
and has improved the localized extent of electromagnetic energy obviously in such photonic crystal structure (PBG), resulting
in a higher antenna gain, a lower return loss, and a better improvement of the antenna’s characteristics. Due to such the
advantages, the use of patch antennas can be extended to such fields as mobile communication, satellite communication, aviation,
etc. 相似文献

We discuss the qualitative features of the recent data on multiparticle production observed at the LHC. The tolerable agreement
with Monte Carlos based on LO DGLAP evolution indicates that there is no qualitative difference between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’
interactions; and that a perturbative QCD approach may be extended into the soft domain. However, in order to describe the
data, these Monte Carlos need an additional infrared cutoff k
min with a value k
min ∼2–3 GeV which is not small, and which increases with collider energy. Here we explain the physical origin of the large k
min . Using an alternative model which matches the ‘soft’ high-energy hadron interactions smoothly on to perturbative QCD at small
x, we demonstrate that this effective cutoff k
min is actually due to the strong absorption of low k
t
partons. The model embodies the main features of the BFKL approach, including the diffusion in transverse momenta, ln k
t
, and an intercept consistent with resummed next-to-leading log corrections. Moreover, the model uses a two-channel eikonal
framework, and includes the contributions from the multi-Pomeron exchange diagrams, both non-enhanced and enhanced. The values
of a small number of physically-motivated parameters are chosen to reproduce the available total, elastic and proton dissociation
cross section (pre-LHC) data. Predictions are made for the LHC, and the relevance to ultra-high-energy cosmic rays is briefly
discussed. The low x inclusive integrated gluon PDF, and the diffractive gluon PDF, are calculated in this framework, using the parameters which
describe the high-energy pp and p[`(p)]p\bar{p} ‘soft’ data. Comparison with the PDFs obtained from the global parton analyses of deep inelastic and related hard scattering data and from diffractive deep inelastic data looks encouraging. 相似文献

A new generalisation of Einstein’s theory is proposed which is invariant under conformal mappings. Two scalar fields are introduced
in addition to the metric tensor field, so that two special choices of gauge are available for physical interpretation, the
‘Einstein gauge’ and the ‘atomic gauge’. The theory is not unique but contains two adjustable parameters ζ anda. Witha=1 the theory viewed from the atomic gauge is Brans-Dicke theory (ω=−3/2+ζ/4). Any other choice ofa leads to a creation-field theory. In particular the theory given by the choicea=−3 possesses a cosmological solution satisfying Dirac’s ‘large numbers’ hypothesis. 相似文献

The nonlinear distribution function introduced by Allis has been used to investigate the stability of the solution of Vlasov-Poisson’s
equations. The ‘average’ Lagrangian is calculated on the basis of this distribution function, and the ‘average’ variational
principle of Witham is applied to discuss modulational stability. It is found that the distribution function of Allis exactly
gives rise to the Lighthill’s stability condition of non-linear waves. 相似文献

We discuss questions pertaining to the definition of ‘momentum’, ‘momentum space’, ‘phase space’ and ‘Wigner distributions’;
for finite dimensional quantum systems. For such systems, where traditional concepts of ‘momenta’ established for continuum
situations offer little help, we propose a physically reasonable and mathematically tangible definition and use it for the
purpose of setting up Wigner distributions in a purely algebraic manner. It is found that the point of view adopted here is
limited to odd dimensional systems only. The mathematical reasons which force this situation are examined in detail 相似文献

Using a Thomas-Fermi type picture of the nucleon as a dense system of quarks and antiquarks, we give a rationale for the ‘dipole’
nature, scaling and other characteristics of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors. Similar considerations are then given
for the electromagnetic structure of the pion. 相似文献

Proteins are important biomolecules, which perform diverse structural and functional roles in living systems. Starting from
a linear chain of amino acids, proteins fold to different secondary structures, which then fold through short- and long-range
interactions to give rise to the final three-dimensional shapes useful to carry out the biophysical and biochemical functions.
Proteins are defined as having a common ‘fold’ if they have major secondary structural elements with same topological connections.
It is known that folding mechanisms are largely determined by a protein’s topology rather than its interatomic interactions.
The native state protein structures can, thus, be modelled, using a graph-theoretical approach, as coarse-grained networks
of amino acid residues as ‘nodes’ and the inter-residue interactions/contacts as ‘links’. Using the network representation
of protein structures and their 2D contact maps, we have identified the conserved contact patterns (groups of contacts) representing
two typical folds — the EF-hand and the ubiquitin-like folds. Our results suggest that this direct and computationally simple
methodology can be used to infer about the presence of specific folds from the protein’s contact map alone.

Summary The data for 3.8 million compounds from structural databases of 32 providers were gathered and stored in a single chemical database. Duplicates are removed using the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier. After this, 2.6 million compounds remain. Each database and the final one were studied in term of uniqueness, diversity, frameworks, ‘drug-like’ and ‘lead–like’ properties. This study also shows that there are more than 87 000 frameworks in the database. It contains 2.1 million ‘drug-like’ molecules among which, more than one million are ‘lead-like’. This study has been carried out using ‘ScreeningAssistant’, a software dedicated to chemical databases management and screening sets generation. Compounds are stored in a MySQL database and all the operations on this database are carried out by Java code. The druglikeness and leadlikeness are estimated with ‘in–house’ scores using functions to estimate convenience to properties; unicity using the InChI code and diversity using molecular frameworks and fingerprints. The software has been conceived in order to facilitate the update of the database. ‘ScreeningAssistant’ is freely available under the GPL license. 相似文献

The temperature dependence of the sensitivity of an optical sensor based on long-range surface plasmon resonance (LRSPR) is
studied via theoretical modeling. Both the ‘angular interrogation’ and the ‘wavelength interrogation’ modes of operation are
studied. In addition, the variation of the full width at half maximum of the LRSPR ‘reflectance dip’ is also studied as a
function of temperature, which ultimately determines the temperature dependence of the sensitivity of the sensor when the
reflectance is monitored at a fixed incident angle (‘reflectance interrogation’). It is found that while most of the time
only the ‘reflectance interrogation’ mode leads to improved sensitivity for the LRSPR sensor compared to a conventional SPR
sensor, the temperature stability of the operation of the LRSPR sensor is generally higher than (or at least comparable to)
that of the SPR sensor.

Enthalpy recovery is not only an important characteristic of physical aging of glass, but also a good tool to investigate
the physical aging. Using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), the enthalpy recovery of Zr46.75Ti8.25Cu7.5Ni10Be27.5 bulk metallic glass (BMG) was studied. The typical characteristics of enthalpy recovery of glass including the sub-T
g peak and ‘overshot’ were found in BMG. The evolution of the sub-T
g peak and ‘overshot’ were described by the free volume theory and Hodge’s model, respectively. It was found that the former
failed to describe the enthalpy recovery in the BMG, while the latter could give a qualitative explanation. In combination
with the dynamics in the BMG, the origin of the enthalpy recovery in the BMG was discussed. The results show that BMGs are
an ideal material to investigate the physical aging. The further understanding of physical aging of BMGs is useful to clarify
the nature of glass and improve the application and device of new types of BMGs.
