We present experimental, numerical, and analytical results for the study of near-field interaction of twisted split-ring resonators, the basic elements of the so-called stereometamaterials. In contrast to previous results, we observe a crossing point in the dispersion curves where the symmetric and antisymmetric modes become degenerate. We introduce a model to describe the interplay between mag...

The vibrational temperatures of product CO(2) were measured in CO oxidation on Pd(111) as a function of the desorption angle by means of infrared chemiluminescence. The antisymmetric vibration temperature was separately determined from the other vibrational modes from the normalized chemiluminescence intensity. The product CO(2) desorption is sharply collimated along the surface normal. The ant...

I propose that the primordial baryon asymmetry of the universe was induced by the presence of a non-vanishing antisymmetric field background Hμνρ across the three space dimensions. This background creates a dilute (B −L)-number density in the universe cancelling the contribution from baryons and leptons. This situation naturally appears if the U(1)B−L symmetry is gauged and the corresponding ga...
