People sometimes report feeling “totally” different (complete affectedness) and that “they’ll never be the same again” (continual affectedness) after negative events. It’s been proposed that complete, and continual negative effects characterize contamination or impurity. Meanwhile, whether impurity is a legitimate moral domain apart from harm has been debated in moral psychology. We address the...

The binding energy of a donor in spherical quantum dots (QDs) is calculated, using a variational approach within the effective mass approximation. The binding energy is computed for GaAs QD as a function of the dot size for different impurity positions, and also as a function of the impurity position for different dot sizes. The results of mine show that when the impurity binding energy increas...

The impurity of measures is considered as cause of erroneous interpretations of observed relationships. This paper concentrates on impurity with respect to the relationship between working memory and fluid intelligence. The means for the identification of impurity was the fixed-links model, which enabled the decomposition of variance into experimental and non-experimental parts. A substantial n...

Basic aspects of impurity reaction with dislocations in semiconductors are discussed on the basis of the work of the author's group. Some important insights into the mechanism of impurity reaction with extended structural defects are deduced from a theoretical treatment of impurity distribution around a structural defect in thermal equilibrium, experimental observations on dislocation pinning, ...

Finite β effects on impurity transport are studied through local linear gyrokinetic simulations with gyro [J. Candy and E. Belli, General Atomics Report GA-A26818 (2011)]; in particular we investigate the parametric dependences of the impurity peaking factor (zero-flux density gradient) and the onset of the kinetic ballooning modes (KBM). We find that electromagnetic effects even at low β can h...

Using bosonization and path integral methods, we study general low temperature behavior of non-magnetic and magnetic impurity scattering in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid, and calculate electron Green function for a general backward scattering potential. We demonstrate that electron density of state near the impurity site is suppressed by the backward scattering, but it mainly remains invariant as f...

We examine the role of order-parameter suppression in the development of low-energy peaks ~i.e., resonances! in the tunneling density of states near a nonmagnetic impurity in a d-wave superconductor. Without order-parameter suppression, the zero-energy resonance appears only in the unitary ~i.e., strong impurity! limit. However, suppression makes the resonance appear even when the impurity is m...

The knowledge of the effective ion charge Zeff which indicates the degree of plasma pollution is of high interest, since the tolerable impurity concentration to achieve successful ignition of a fusion plasma is limited. The quantification of Zeff at ASDEX Upgrade has been carried out by means of Integrated Data Analysis in the framework of Bayesian Probability Theory which allows the combined a...

The incorporation of intrinsic point defects into a growing crystal is affected by the presence of impurities that can react with vacancies and self-interstitials. The critical value of the ratio of the growth rate, V , to the axial temperature gradient, G, ~V/G ratio! that separates the interstitial growth mode from the vacancy growth mode, is shifted by impurities, and this effect can be desc...

We report a comprehensive theoretical study of structural and electronic properties of substitutional oxygen and zinc contaminations in a model of single wall GaN nanotubes by means of ab initio supercell calculations. Our investigation yields many interesting results. The following ones deserve to be developed. Oxygen forms a shallow donor in the single wall GaN nanotubes as in bulk GaN polyty...
