In certain cuprates, a spin-1 resonance mode is prominent in the magnetic structure measured by neutron scattering. It has been proposed that this mode is responsible for significant features seen in other spectroscopies, such as photoemission and optical absorption, which are sensitive to the charge dynamics, and even that this mode is the boson responsible for "mediating" the superconducting ...

We discuss the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) on the light front (LF) in view of the zero mode. We rst demonstrate impossibility to remove the zero mode in the continuum LF theory by two examples: The Lorentz invariance forbids even a free theory on the LF and the trivial LF vacuum is lost in the SSB phase, both due to the zero mode as the accumulating point causing uncontrollable infrared...

Studies of the modes of adsorption and the associated changes in electronic structures of renewable organic compounds are needed in order to understand the fundamentals behind surface reactions of catalysts for future energies. Using planewave density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the adsorption of ethanol on perfect and O-defected TiO(2) rutile (110) surfaces was examined. On both surf...

This paper reviews selected developments from the last ten years which argue that the stripe phase observed in the manganites is, in fact, an emergent charge density wave ground state. The paper’s main focus is directed towards two recent papers on this subject. The first is a theoretical treatment using Ginzburg-Landau theory, and the second is an experimental work using resistivity measuremen...

First direct measurements of nonambipolar magnetic fluctuation-induced charge transport in the interior of a high-temperature plasma are reported. Global resistive tearing modes drive the charge transport which is measured in the vicinity of the resonant surface for the dominant core resonant mode. Finite charge transport has two important consequences. First, it generates a potential well alon...

The solid-state structures of organic charge transfer (CT) salts are critical in determining their mode of charge transport, and hence their unusual electrical properties, which range from semiconducting through metallic to superconducting. In contrast, using both theory and experiment, we show here that the conductance of metal |single molecule| metal junctions involving aromatic donor moietie...

We show that the Raman frequency associated with the vibrational mode at approximately 1,580 cm(-1) (the G mode) in both metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes shifts in response to changes in the charge density induced by an external gate field. These changes in the Raman spectra provide us with a powerful tool for probing local doping in carbon nanotubes in electronic device structures,...

This paper presents a rule-based energy management strategy for a plug-in hybrid school bus (PHSB). In order to verify the effectiveness and rationality of the proposed energy management strategy, the powertrain and control models were built with MATLAB/Simulink. The PHSB powertrain model includes an engine model, ISG (integrated started and generator) model, drive motor model, power battery pa...
