A low-temperature expansion of QED one-loop effective Lagrangian valid for a wide range of parameters is presented in a form of finite sums of elementary functions. Starting from the effective action components of the one-loop polarization operator responsible for Hall conductivity and Debye screening are obtained. It is shown that in a strong background magnetic field the Debye radius depends ...

The structure factor for linear polymers in the 0 state is given by the well-known Debye function. In a good solvent the chain is subject to excluded volume; however, the form of the structure factor still closely resembles that of the Debye function. As a result, one is tempted to interpret the structure factor as a Debye function whose argument is scaled by the radius of gyration of the swoll...

At the jamming transition, amorphous packings are known to display anomalous vibrational modes with a density of states (DOS) that remains constant at low frequency. The scaling of the DOS at higher packing fractions remains, however, unclear. One might expect to find a simple Debye scaling, but recent results from effective medium theory and the exact solution of mean-field models both predict...

We study the response functions (chromo-electric susceptibilities) for an interacting quark-gluon plasma. The interaction effects have been encoded in the effective fugacities for quasi-partons which are extracted self-consistently from the two equations of state for hot QCD. The first one is the fully perturbative O(g) EOS and, the second one which is O(g ln(1/g)), incorporates some non-pertur...

A quantum gas of ultracold polar molecules, with long-range and anisotropic interactions, not only would enable explorations of a large class of many-body physics phenomena but also could be used for quantum information processing. We report on the creation of an ultracold dense gas of potassium-rubidium (40K87Rb) polar molecules. Using a single step of STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passag...

By means of molecular dynamics simulations, dynamical properties of racemic ibuprofen glass-forming liquid are investigated at different temperatures from 360 to 500 K. The origin of the peculiar low amplitude Debye-type relaxation observed experimentally by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy is addressed (Bras, A. R.; Noronha, J. P.; Antunes, A. M. M.; Cardoso, M. M.; Schonhals, A.; Affouard, ...

We consider three independent methodologies for calculating thermal equation of state (EOS) of the major earth-forming mineral, orthorhombic MgSiO3 perovskite: molecular dynamics (MD), lattice dynamics (LD) and Debye model (DM). Using the most recent developments in the GULP code, we derive a new interatomic potential, which is demonstrated to be extremely robust at both high temperatures and h...
