Lidocaine/l-Menthol Binary System: Cocrystallization versus Solid-State Immiscibility

Neutrons versus Photons in Solid State Physics

The comparaison between condensed matter studies using neutrons and photons is a well known subject which can be found in many text books. However the occurence of synchrotron source is strongly changing the situation. Some personal considerations about the possible future evolutions will be given.

Phase-field model for solid state transformation in a two-phase binary system with elastic inhomogeneity

A phase-field model is presented to study binary systems having two phases with different elastic properties. The evolution of two phase-field variables, namely, composition and non-conserved phase-field, are considered. This model uses the approach of Steinbach and Apel [1] to model the dependence of total strain on the phase-field, which assumes equal elastic stresses in the different phases ...

Quantum efficiency of binary-outcome detectors of solid-state qubits

We introduce definitions of the quantum efficiency for binary-outcome qubit detectors with imperfect fidelity, focusing on the subclass of quantum nondemolition detectors. Quantum efficiency is analyzed for several models of detectors, including indirect projective measurement, linear detector in binary-outcome regime, detector of the superconducting phase qubit, and detector based on tunneling...
