We advance a method to describe the short-distance fluctuations of an interface spanning a wedge-shaped substrate near the critical filling transition. Two different length scales determined by the average distance of the interface from the substrate at the wedge center can be identified. On one length scale, the one-dimensional approximation of A. O. Parry, C. Rascon, and A. J. Wood [Phys. Rev...

The paper deals with a study of diffraction on dielectric wedge (building corner) in millimeter frequency band, both theoretically and experimentally, to provide knowledge support for ray tracing/launching calculations of MWS interference issues in urban areas. The main motivation was to find balance between reasonably reliable results and necessary demands on calculation complexity and input d...

Andreev bound states at boundaries of d-wave superconductors are strongly influenced by the boundary geometry itself. In this work, the zero-energy spectral weight of the local quasiparticle density of states is presented for the case of wedge-shaped boundaries with rounded corners. Generally, both orientation of the d-wave and the specific local reflection properties of the rounded wedges dete...

Within the algebraic setting of quantum field theory, a condition is given which implies that the intersection of algebras generated by field operators localized in wedge–shaped regions of two–dimensional Minkowski space is non–trivial; in particular, there exist compactly localized operators in such theories which can be interpreted as local observables. The condition is based on spectral (nuc...

This article is a case study that explores the use of the Building Blocks portal design framework over a series of enterprise portal projects spanning several years. This article describes the business contexts that shaped each portal as it was designed, showing the use and reuse of design and development elements based on the Building Blocks. This article discusses the changes and adaptations ...

An extended short-wavelength infrared microspectrometer by monolithic integrarion of a 256 × 1 InGaAs linear array detector with wedge-shaped Si/SiO 2 Fabry-Perot variable optical filter.

We consider the Casimir energy in a geometry of an infinite magnetodielectric wedge closed by a circularly cylindrical, perfectly reflecting arc embedded in another magnetodielectric medium, under the condition that the speed of light be the same in both media. An expression for the Casimir energy corresponding to the arc is obtained and it is found that in the limit where the reflectivity of t...
