Flexible active matrix addressed displays manufactured by printing and coating techniques

A flexible electrochromic active matrix addressed display, including 8 × 8 pixels, is demonstrated by using solution processing based on standard printing and coating manufacturing techniques. Each organic electrochromic display (OECD) pixel and its corresponding organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) are located on different sides of the flexible PET substrate. Electronic vias generated through the plastic substrate connects each OECD pixel with one addressing OECT. When comparing this display with actively addressed OECDs with all its components located on the same side, the present approach based on this electronic via substrate provides an enhanced pixel resolution and a relatively more simplified manufacturing process. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Quiescent Cosmological Singularities

The most detailed existing proposal for the structure of spacetime singularities originates in the work of Belinskii, Khalatnikov and Lifshitz. We show rigorously the correctness of this proposal in the case of analytic solutions of the Einstein equations coupled to a scalar field or stiff fluid. More specifically, we prove the existence of a family of spacetimes depending on the same number of free functions as the general solution which have the asymptotics suggested by the Belinskii–Khalatnikov–Lifshitz proposal near their singularities. In these spacetimes a neighbourhood of the singularity can be covered by a Gaussian coordinate system in which the singularity is simultaneous and the evolution at different spatial points decouples.

Resonances in Three-Body Systems Studied by a Full Angular-Momentum, Smooth-Exterior Complex-Scaling Finite-Element Method

 The development of a tool for calculating resonances and bound states in three-body systems described by a single-potential energy surface is reported. The method has been applied to the antiprotonic helium, doubly excited states in helium, the ¹¹Li nuclear halo, the NeICl van der Waals molecule, and the recently found FHD reaction complex.

高温超导线圈在大电流下稳定性的数值仿真

在电力应用中,超导磁体可能会因为线圈工作于过流状态而失超,也可能会因为交流损耗而导致失超.为此,我们模拟了一个磁体在大电流过载下的稳定性情况.我们使用了一个建立在热传导方程和麦克斯韦方程基础上的差分数值计算方法来得出磁体内部的温度分布.我们对各种不同的电流冲击情况进行了考察,我们的模型可以使磁体设计者在实际制作之前能够估计一个比较安全的操作电流水平,有着广泛的实用价值.     

Microtraps and Atom Chips: Toolboxes for Cold Atom Physics

Magnetic microtraps and Atom Chips are safe, small-scale, reliable and flexible tools to prepare ultra-cold and degenerate atom clouds as sources for various atom-optical experiments. We present an overview of the possibilities of the devices and indicate how a microtrap can be used to prepare and launch a Bose-Einstein condensate for use in an atom clock or an interferometer.     

On the treatment of the pairing interaction in the particle-rotor model

Different ways of treating the pairing interaction in the particle-rotor model are discussed and compared in a model which can be solved exactly. Special attention is paid to the interaction between the yrast and yrare bands as function of the shell filling.     

Fast ortho-para conversion of H2 adsorbed at copper surface step atoms

Ortho-para conversion of H2 adsorbed at the step atoms of a Cu(510) surface proceeds with a short conversion time constant around 1 s as observed in electron-energy-loss measurements of rotational populations. We suggest that this rapid conversion is related to the special character of the adsorption state, which involves a short H2-Cu bond length of 1.8 A. On the flat Cu(100) surface, conversion is found to occur at active sites, most likely step atoms.
