Reply to “Comment on: ‘Multi-photon Rabi model: Generalized parity and its applications’ [Phys. Lett. A 377 (2013) 3205]” [Phys. Lett. A 378 (2014) 1969]

We show that the claims stated in the comment made by Chi-Fai Lo on our paper [Phys. Lett. A 377 (2013) 3205] neither contradict nor falsify our results.     

Addendum to: “Geometrical and topological aspects of electrostatics on Riemannian manifolds” [J. Geom. Phys. 57 (8) (2007) 1679–1696]

In this note we discuss and solve several open problems posed in our recent paper “Geometrical and topological aspects of electrostatics on Riemannian manifolds”, also published in this journal. Some minor mistakes therein are corrected as well.     

Addendum to “Switching effect and the metal–insulator transition in electric field” by A.L. Pergament et al. [J. Phys. Chem. Solids 71 (2010) 874]

In the paper mentioned above we reported on the switching mechanism in vanadium dioxide which was shown to be based on the electronically-induced Mott insulator-to-metal transition occurring in conditions of the non-equilibrium carrier density excess in the applied electric field, and the proposed model involved the dependence of the carrier density n on electric field (the Poole–Frenkel effect), as well as the dependence of the critical electric field on n. The data on the n(T) dependence were obtained on the assumption of a temperature-independent carrier mobility μ, and the problem of n reduction at lower temperatures was not fully understood. In this Letter we revisit this problem in the light of some recent data on the μ(T) dependence for VO₂. It is shown that the adjusted values of n, taking into account this μ(T), correspond to the Mott critical density within an order of magnitude.

Comment on “Computer Algebra and Solutions to the Karamoto-Sivashinsky Equation” [Commun. Theor. Phys. （Beijing, China） 43 （2005） 39]

In a recent article [Commun. Theor. Phys. （Beijing, China） 43 （2005） 39], Xie et al. improved the extended tanh function method by introducing a generalized Riccati equation and its new solutions. Then they choose the Karamoto-Sivashinsky （KS） equation to illustrate their approach and obtain many exact solutions of the KS equation. So they claim that, by using their method, one not only can successfully recover the previously known formal solutions but also construct new and more general formal solutions for some nonlinear evolution equations. In this comment, we will show that the claim is incorrect.

Addendum to “Polymorphic phase transition and thermal stability in squaric acid (H2C4O4)” by K.-S. Lee et al. [J. Phys. Chem. Solids 73 (2012) 890]

While a paper mentioned above being published on line, we have become aware of the high-pressure neutron diffraction study of squaric acid (H₂C₄O₄) by C.L. Bull et al. They developed that neutron diffraction experiments could be performed under quasi-hydrostatic conditions to pressures of up to 18 GPa and showed that the tetragonal phase of H₂C₄O₄ was still observed at 14.5 GPa (above the critical pressure of P_c=0.75 GPa at room temperature) beyond the previous pressure limits of 7 GPa. Taking the high-pressure neutron diffraction results into consideration, modified temperature-pressure phase diagram in the paper stated above is reported.     

Corrigendum to “The four-dimensional Martínez Alonso–Shabat equation: Differential coverings and recursion operators” [J. Geom. Phys. 85 (2014) 75–80]

We correct an error in Theorem 1 from our article stated in the title. The ensuing results are added as well.     

Erratum to “Axial and transverse acoustic radiation forces on a fluid sphere placed arbitrarily in Bessel beam standing wave tweezers” [Ann. Phys. 342 (3) (2014) 158–170]

A typographical error is corrected in three equations in the article [Ann. Phys. 342 (3) (2014) 158–170, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.aop.2013.12.009]. They are Eqs. (12)–(14), where the factor (1+S_p,q)$(1+S_{p,q})$ should have been printed as (1+s_p(ka))$(1+s_p\left(ka\right))$. The numerical computations and plots used the correct factor (1+s_p(ka))$(1+s_p\left(ka\right))$ in the related equations.
