Abstract The wurtzite (wz) structure of CdS is analysed using density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and Hubbard correction (GGA+U). total energy convergence evaluation carried out concerning cut-off (ecutwfc) k-point sampling. geometry optimization wz-CdS calculated force minimization process, which based on Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorit...

Young's modulus of tapered mixed composition (zinc-blende with a high density twins and wurtzite stacking faults) gallium phosphide (GaP) nanowires (NWs) was investigated by atomic force microscopy. Experimental measurements were performed obtaining bending profiles as-grown inclined GaP NWs deformed applying constant to series NW surface locations at various distances from the NW/substrate int...

Following an outburst in 2001 July, the UV flux of WZ Sge has declined slowly toward pre-outburst levels. Here, we describe new 1150-1710Å HST/STIS spectra of WZ Sge obtained between 2002 April and 2003 March to follow the decline. A combined analysis of these and spectra obtained in the fall of 2001 show that if log g=8.5, then the white dwarf temperature decreased from 23,400 K in 2001 Oc-tob...

We carried out time-resolved photometric observations of an SU UMa type dwarf nova, BC UMa, during its superoutburst in February 2003. We detect early superhumps ( or outburst orbital humps) during the first two days of the outburst. The period of early superhumps is 0.06258(13) d and the amplitude is 0.04 mag. After the early superhump phase, common superhumps with an amplitude of 0.3 mag and ...

Abstract Crack formation process in the Ti-23Al-23Nb-1.4V-0.8Zr-0.4Mo-0.4Si (at.%) alloy based on orthorhombic titanium aluminide (Ti 2 AlNb), especially weld zone (WZ), heat-affected (HAZ), and base metal (BM), during laser beam welding (LBW) at room temperature was considered. It determined that crack spread WZ throughout crystallites of ?-phase. In HAZ, cracks globular ?-phase crystals body ...

using qcd factorization for the hadronic matrix elements, we show that existing data, inparticular the branching ratios br ( b →j/ψk) and br ( b →j/ψπ), can be accounted for in this approach.we analyze the decay b j /k( ) within the framework of qcd factorization. the calculation of therelevant hard-scattering kernels for twist-2 and twist-3 is completed. we calculate this decay in a special...

In some video coding applications, it is desirable to reduce the complexity of the video encoder at the expense of a more complex decoder. Wyner–Ziv (WZ) video coding is a new paradigm that aims to achieve this. To allocate a proper number of bits to each frame, most WZ video coding algorithms use a feedback channel, which allows the decoder to request additional bits when needed. However, due ...

The triple factorization of a group $G$ has been studied recently showing that $G=ABA$ for some proper subgroups $A$ and $B$ of $G$, the definition of rank-two geometry and rank-two coset geometry which is closely related to the triple factorization was defined and calculated for abelian groups. In this paper we study two infinite classes of non-abelian finite groups $D_{2n}$ and $PSL(2,2^{n})$...
