Using joint observations taken with the CDS and SUMER instruments onboard SOHO, we re-examine the solar transition region in an attempt to determine whether it is de-coupled from the over-lying coronal region. Line ratios calculated from temporal series observations of O iv and Fe xiii spectral lines were converted to electron density, and hence electron pressure using theoretical line ratios. ...

We study the effect of electron-electron interaction on a two dimensional (2D) disordered lattice. For the case of two electrons the analytical estimates are presented showing a transition from localized to delocalized states in a way similar to the Anderson transition in 3D. The localized phase corresponds to large values of parameter rs, which is determined by the ratio of the Coulomb and Fer...
