in this paper, we study a special class of generalized douglas-weyl metrics whose douglas curvature is constant along any finslerian geodesic. we prove that for every landsberg metric in this class of finsler metrics, ? = 0 if and only if h = 0. then we show that every finsler metric of non-zero isotropic flag curvature in this class of metrics is a riemannian if and only if ? = 0.

We calculate within the Boltzmann equation approach the charged impurity scattering limited low temperature electronic resistivity of low density n-type inversion layers in Si MOSFET structures. We find a rather sharp quantum to classical crossover in the transport behavior in the 0 − 5K temperature range, with the low density, low temperature mobility showing a strikingly strong non-monotonic ...

hadamard (or complete $cat(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on had...

Low and non-metallic landmines are one of the most difficult subsurface targets to be detected using several geophysical techniques. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) performance at different field sites shows great success in detecting metallic landmines. However significant limitations are taking place in the case of low and non-metallic landmines. Electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) technique ...

In recent years, interface engineering of solid electrolytes has been explored to increase their ionic conductivity and improve the performance of solid oxide fuel cells and other electrochemical power sources. It has been observed that the ionic conductivity of epitaxially grown thin films of some electrolytes is dramatically enhanced, which is often attributed to effects (e.g. strain-induced ...

Metal-insulator granular film is technologically important for microwave applications. It has been challenging to obtain simultaneous high electrical resistivity and large saturation magnetization due to the balance of insulating non-magnetic and metallic magnetic components. FeAlO granular films satisfying both requirements have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The as-deposited film e...
