The simultaneous effect of both disorder and crystal-lattice pinning on the equilibrium behavior of oriented elastic objects
is studied using scaling arguments and a functional renormalization group technique. Our analysis applies to elastic manifolds,
e.g., interfaces, as well as to periodic elastic media, e.g., charge-density waves or flux-line lattices. The competition between both pinning mechanisms leads to a continuous, disorder
driven roughening transition between a flat state where the mean relative displacement saturates on large scales and a rough
state with diverging relative displacement. The transition can be approached by changing the impurity concentration or, indirectly,
by tuning the temperature since the pinning strengths of the random and crystal potential have in general a different temperature
dependence. For D dimensional elastic manifolds interacting with either random-field or random-bond disorder a transition exists for 2<D<4, and the critical exponents are obtained to lowest order in . At the transition, the manifolds show a superuniversal logarithmic roughness. Dipolar interactions render lattice effects
relevant also in the physical case of D=2. For periodic elastic media, a roughening transition exists only if the ratio p of the periodicities of the medium and the crystal lattice exceeds the critical value . For p<p
c
the medium is always flat. Critical exponents are calculated in a double expansion in and and fulfill the scaling relations of random field models.

We study the effect of an external field on (1 + 1) and (2 + 1) dimensional elastic manifolds, at zero temperature and with
random bond disorder. Due to the glassy energy landscape the configuration of a manifold changes often in abrupt, “first order”-type
of large jumps when the field is applied. First the scaling behavior of the energy gap between the global energy minimum and
the next lowest minimum of the manifold is considered, by employing exact ground state calculations and an extreme statistics
argument. The scaling has a logarithmic prefactor originating from the number of the minima in the landscape, and reads ΔE
1∼L
θ[ln(L

- ζ)]-1/2, where ζ is the roughness exponent and θ is the energy fluctuation exponent of the manifold, L is the linear size of the manifold, and Lz is the system height. The gap scaling is extended to the case of a finite external field and yields for the susceptibility
of the manifolds ∼L
2D + 1 - θ[(1 - ζ)ln(L)]1/2. We also present a mean field argument for the finite size scaling of the first jump field, h
1∼L
d - θ. The implications to wetting in random systems, to finite-temperature behavior and the relation to Kardar-Parisi-Zhang non-equilibrium
surface growth are discussed.

A d-dimensional quantum model system confined to a general hypercubical geometry with linear spatial size L and “temporal size” 1/T ( T - temperature of the system) is considered in the spherical approximation under periodic boundary conditions. For a film
geometry in different space dimensions , where is a parameter controlling the decay of the long-range interaction, the free energy and the Casimir amplitudes are given.
We have proven that, if , the Casimir amplitude of the model, characterizing the leading temperature corrections to its ground state, is . The last implies that the universal constant of the model remains the same for both short, as well as long-range interactions, if one takes the normalization factor for
the Gaussian model to be such that . This is a generalization to the case of long-range interaction of the well-known result due to Sachdev. That constant differs
from the corresponding one characterizing the leading finite-size corrections at zero temperature which for is .

The propagation and roughening of a fluid-gas interface through a disordered medium in the case of capillary driven spontaneous
imbibition is considered. The system is described by a conserved (model B) phase-field model, with the structure of the disordered
medium appearing as a quenched random field . The flow of liquid into the medium is obtained by imposing a non-equilibrium boundary condition on the chemical potential,
which reproduces Washburn's equation for the slowing down motion of the average interface position H. The interface is found to be superrough, with global roughness exponent , indicating anomalous scaling. The spatial extent of the roughness is determined by a length scale arising from the conservation law. The interface advances by avalanche motion, which causes temporal multiscaling and qualitatively
reproduces the experimental results of Horv'ath and Stanley (Phys. Rev. E 52, 5166 (1995)) on the temporal scaling of the interface.

The fluctuation-induced interaction between two rod-like, rigid inclusions in a fluid vesicle is studied by means of canonical
ensemble Monte-Carlo simulations. The vesicle membrane is represented by a triangulated network of hard spheres. Five rigidly
connected hard spheres form rod-like inclusions that can leap between sites of the triangular network. Their effective interaction
potential is computed as a function of mutual distance and angle of the inclusions. On account of the hard-core potential
among these, the nature of the potential is purely entropic. Special precaution is taken to reduce lattice artifacts and the
influence of finite-size effects due to the spherical geometry. Our results show that the effective potential is attractive
and short-range compared with the rod length L. Its well depth is of the order of , where is the bending modulus.

The peculiarities of a low temperature heat transfer through a ballistic quantum dot (a double potential barrier) with interacting
leads due to a long-range Coulomb interaction (in the geometrical capacitance approach) are considered. It is found that the
thermal conductance K shows periodic peaks as a function of the electrostatic potential of a dot at low temperatures. At the peak maximum it is
whereas near the minimum it is . Near the peak maximum the dependence K(T) is essentially nonmonotonic at the temperatures correspondent to the level spacing in the quantum dot.

We generalize an analogy between rotating and stratified shear flows. This analogy is summarized in Table 1. We use this analogy
in the unstable case (centrifugally unstable flow vs. convection) to compute the torque in Taylor-Couette configuration, as a function of the Reynolds number. At low Reynolds
numbers, when most of the dissipation comes from the mean flow, we predict that the non-dimensional torque G = T/ν2
L, where L is the cylinder length, scales with Reynolds number R and gap width η, G = 1.46η3/2(1 - η)-7/4
R
3/2. At larger Reynolds number, velocity fluctuations become non-negligible in the dissipation. In these regimes, there is no
exact power law dependence the torque versus Reynolds. Instead, we obtain logarithmic corrections to the classical ultra-hard (exponent 2) regimes: G = 0.50
. These predictions are found to be in excellent agreement with avail-able experimental data. Predictions for scaling of velocity
fluctuations are also provided.

Using field theory and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation we investigate the finite-size effects of the magnetization M for the three-dimensional Ising model in a finite cubic geometry with periodic boundary conditions. The field theory with
infinite cutoff gives a scaling form of the equation of state where is the reduced temperature, h is the external field and L is the size of system. Below and at the theory predicts a nonmonotonic dependence of f(x,y) with respect to at fixed and a crossover from nonmonotonic to monotonic behaviour when y is further increased. These results are confirmed by MC simulation. The scaling function f(x,y) obtained from the field theory is in good quantitative agreement with the finite-size MC data. Good agreement is also found
for the bulk value at .

We reexamine the range of validity of finite-size scaling in the lattice model and the field theory below four dimensions. We show that general renormalization-group arguments based on the renormalizability of
the theory do not rule out the possibility of a violation of finite-size scaling due to a finite lattice constant and a finite
cutoff. For a confined geometry of linear size L with periodic boundary conditions we analyze the approach towards bulk critical behavior as at fixed for where is the bulk correlation length. We show that for this analysis ordinary renormalized perturbation theory is sufficient. On
the basis of one-loop results and of exact results in the spherical limit we find that finite-size scaling is violated for
both the lattice model and the field theory in the region . The non-scaling effects in the field theory and in the lattice model differ significantly from each other.

Ammonia monomers have been adsorbed on argon clusters at low temperature K by Rohmund and Huisken [#!frfh97!#] using the pick-up technique. They measured the spectrum of the NH3 molecules in the region of the umbrella mode. Two broad bands centered around 970 and 1000 cm-1 with finer details were observed. The authors attempted to interpret the obtained spectrum on the basis of the free rotation
motions of the molecules. In this paper semi-empirical atom-atom potential energy calculations are performed for the ammonia
monomer adsorbed on a rigid face-centered-cubic (fcc)-type surface of the argon cluster. In the equilibrium position of the rigid molecule on the cluster surface the orientational
potential energy surface exhibits two quasi-equivalent minima separated by a potential barrier of about 100 cm-1. The symmetry of the molecular vibration-inversion double-well potential is destroyed; the inversion motion is then forbidden
in the ground state. On the basis of the two adsorption orientations, the vibrational frequency shifts are calculated and
the obtained infrared bar-spectrum agrees with the experimental one.

The absorption spectra of small Ag
+
n clusters are calculated at finite vibrational temperature by using a microscopic tight-binding RPA method. We consider free
clusters with sizes between n
= 3 and n
=13 and take into account explicitly the degrees of freedom corresponding to the 4
d-electrons. We analyze the optical absorption as a function of the cluster size. We show that the contribution of the d-electrons has an important influence on the size dependence of the energy of the Mie plasmon. We also perform ensemble averages
to obtain the absorption spectra for different vibrational temperatures. We obtain relatively good agreement with experiment
for a temperature . The dynamics of the 4
d-electrons, which shows in small clusters an incipient delocalized character for n
>7, yields an important contribution to the absorption spectrum already for n
=13. We find that the strength of this contribution can be controlled by varying the vibrational temperature.

Using small-angle X-ray scattering, the repeat distance vs. temperature is measured for a homologous series of multilamellar vesicles of lecithins with varying acyl chain length in
excess water condition around the lipid main transition. A systematic chain length dependence is found which is in accordance
with a bending rigidity renormalization and critical unbinding of the lamellae close to the transition, as previously suggested
in H?nger et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 3911 (1994)].

The Monte Carlo (MC) approach is used to check the validity of the scaling relationship for the effective critical exponents in thin Ising films. We investigate this relationship not just in the critical region
but throughout the crossover to the expected two-dimensional behavior. Our results indicate that this scaling relationship
is very well-fulfilled throughout the entire crossover temperature region, as predicted by a previous renormalization group
analysis. The two-dimensional universality class of Ising films is confirmed by means of data collapsing plots for plates with increasing L, up to L=100. The evolution of the maximum value of the effective critical exponents with film thickness is discussed.

Elastic scattering cross-sections for Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Pt, Au and Pb are measured at an angle of 90 in the X-ray region 5.41 keV. These energies fall between the high-energy side of the L- and M-shell absorption edges of the atoms considered. The present atomic region is significant for solid X-rays to assess the contribution
of resonance and solid-state environmental effects. Also it is the anomalous scattering region for many of the atoms of the
periodic table. Experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations based on form factor formalisms including
the anomalous corrections and available recent S-matrix values. Based on the experimental evidence, the present results indicate the influence of solid-state environmental
effects, the importance of anomalous corrections nearer to absorption edges, the correctness of revised high-energy limit
values, the superiority of S-matrix predictions over form factor values on measured elastic scattering cross-sections in the X-ray regime and also show
the resonance behavior around K, L and M absorption edges.

states is analytically calculated for small disorder and taking into account the energy dependence of the one-particle localization
length. This provides a consistent theoretical explanation of the numerically found U-dependence of c(U).

The depinning transition of a front moving in a time-independent random potential is studied. The temporal development of
the overall roughness w(L,t) of an initially flat front, , is the classical means to have access to the dynamic exponent. However, in the case of front propagation in quenched disorder
via extremal dynamics, we show that the initial increase in front roughness implies an extra dependence over the system size
which comes from the fact that the activity is essentially localized in a narrow region of space. We propose an analytic expression
for the exponent and confirm this for different models (crack front propagation, Edwards-Wilkinson model in a quenched noise etc.).
