Explicit uniform bounds on integrals of Bessel functions and trace theorems for Fourier transforms

Explicit and partly sharp estimates are given of integrals over the square of Bessel functions with an integrable weight which can be singular at the origin. They are uniform with respect to the order of the Bessel functions and provide explicit bounds for some smoothing estimates as well as for the L² restrictions of Fourier transforms onto spheres in which are independent of the radius of the sphere. For more special weights these restrictions are shown to be Hölder continuous with a Hölder constant having this independence as well. To illustrate the use of these results a uniform resolvent estimate of the free Dirac operator with mass in dimensions is derived.     

A mixed hp FEM for the approximation of fourth‐order singularly perturbed problems on smooth domains

We consider fourth‐order singularly perturbed problems posed on smooth domains and the approximation of their solution by a mixed Finite Element Method on the so‐called Spectral Boundary Layer Mesh. We show that the method converges uniformly, with respect to the singular perturbation parameter, at an exponential rate when the error is measured in the energy norm. Numerical examples illustrate our theoretical findings.     

Carbon nanospheres with well‐controlled nano‐morphologies as support for palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction

Uniform carbon nanospheres (UCS) with well‐controlled nano‐morphologies were fabricated by hydrothermal carbonization of sucrose in the presence of kayexalate. Highly dispersed and ultrafine palladium nanoparticles were supported on the UCS through a facile co‐reduction process with NaBH₄ as reducing agent. The obtained Pd@UCS exhibited efficient catalytic activity for the Suzuki coupling reaction. Moreover, the as‐prepared catalyst could be recycled and reused at least five times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

Optimal uniform approximation on angles by entire functions

The paper discusses the best or optimal uniform approximation problem by entire functions on a closed angle Δ. This problem has been studied by M.V. Keldysch in [4], under the assumption that the functions ? subject to approximation are holomorphic in a larger angle containing Δ and there is no restriction on the growth of ? at infinity. In [8], the problem was investigated for a wider class of functions ? continuously complex differentiable on Δ, with sharper estimates on the growth of approximating entire functions, linked with the growth of ? on Δ and the differential properties of ? on the boundary of Δ. In this paper, we improve some of the results on entire approximation on angles, using new approximation ideas partially presented in [9] and [10].     

Aharonov–Bohm effect in non-uniform crater-like quantum dot with double rim

We study electron energies in a double concentric quantum ring with anisotropy in the rims heights in the presence of the external magnetic field applied along the symmetry axis. To this end, we consider a model in which the thickness grows linearly from the axis up to the inner rim with a slope different from one between the inner and the outer rims. The anisotropy in the rims heights originated by the presence in the structure of various valleys we simulate by periodic dependence of the slope on the radial direction. We show that the wave functions of the electron confined in such structure can be found analytically if the slopes in all radial directions are the same, and by using a simple exact diagonalization procedure otherwise. The behavior of the electron energies as functions of the magnetic field, rings radii and rims heights, as well as the number of the valleys and their depths is consistently described with our formalism. The entanglement of the states with different radial and orbital quantum numbers, the period and the amplitude of the Aharonov–Bohm oscillations are very sensible to any variations of the rims heights.     

Effect of far-field flow on a columnar crystal in the convective undercooled melt

The growth behavior of a columnar crystal in the convective undercooled melt affected by the far-field uniform flow is studied and the asymptotic solution for the interface evolution of the columnar crystal is derived by means of the asymptotic expansion method.The results obtained reveal that the far-field flow induces a significant change of the temperature around the columnar crystal and the convective flow caused by the far-field flow accelerates the growth velocity of the interface of the growing columnar crystal in the upstream direction and inhibits its growth velocity in the downstream direction.Our results are similar to the experimental data and numerical simulations.     

Rapid Characterization of Molecular Diffusion by NMR Spectroscopy

An NMR‐based approach for rapid characterization of translational diffusion of molecules has been developed. Unlike the conventional method of acquiring a series of 2D ¹³C and ¹H spectra, the proposed approach involves a single 2D NMR spectrum, which can be acquired in minutes. Using this method, it was possible to detect the presence of intermediate oligomeric species of diphenylalanine in solution during the process of its self‐assembly to form nanotubular structures.
