In the process of molecular dynamics simulation studies of gold nanowires an interesting structure is discovered. This is a finite double-wall nanowire with a large empty core similar to single-wall and double-wall carbon nanotubes. The structure of the 16−10 gold nanotube is studied at the room temperature. An investigation of the high-temperature stability has also been carried out. An unusua...

Magnetoresistance of the t.ittle organic metal, where BO is bis[ethylenedioxy)tetrathiafulvalene, is investigated. The angle dependent oscillations indicate the existence of cylindrical Fermi surface, and trie observed penodicity is consistent with the calculated band structure. The amplitude of the oscillation is very small in the direction where the Fermi surface touches trie zone boundary. T...

Artificially structured metamaterials have enabled unprecedented flexibility in manipulating electromagnetic waves and producing new functionalities, including the cloak of invisibility based on coordinate transformation. Unlike other cloaking approaches4–6, which are typically limited to subwavelength objects, the transformation method allows the design of cloaking devices that render a macros...

A system for characterizing the phase shift per cell of a long X-band accelerator structure is described. The fields within the structure are perturbed by a small cylindrical metal bead pulled along the axis. A computer controls the bead position and processes the data from a network analyzer connected to the accelerator section. Measurements made on prototype accelerator sections are described...

Centrioles/basal bodies (CBBs) are microtubule-based cylindrical organelles that nucleate the formation of centrosomes, cilia, and flagella. CBBs, cilia, and flagella are ancestral structures; they are present in all major eukaryotic groups. Despite the conservation of their core structure, there is variability in their architecture, function, and biogenesis. Recent genomic and functional studi...

Jet nozzle is a core component of the hydraulic perforating fracturing tool, and design structure directly affects effectiveness efficiency. In this paper, flow field characteristics nozzles are calculated by SST k- ω turbulence model. The results show that parameters significantly influence jet performance. Through orthogonal experiments, conical-cylindrical geometric preliminarily optimized a...

The properties of cosmic strings have been investigated in detail for their implications in early-universe cosmology. Although many variations of the basic structure have been discovered, with implications for both the microscopic and macroscopic properties of cosmic strings, the cylindrical symmetry of the short-distance structure of the string is generally unaffected. In this paper we describ...
