Heavy quark potentials are investigated at high temperatures. The temperature range covered by the analysis extends from T values just below the deconfinement temperature up to about 4Tc in the deconfined phase. We simulated the pure gauge sector of QCD on lattices with temporal extents of 4, 6 and 8 with spatial volumes of 32. On the smallest lattice a tree level improved action was employed w...

Barium substituted nanocrystalline ferrites with chemical composition BaxCa1-xFe2O4 (x =0.0 to 0.25) BCAF were prepared by solution combustion method. The phase formation of mixed spinal structured ferrites was confirmed by PXRD analysis. The average crystallite size was calculated using Debye-Scherrer formula and it was found to be in the range of 27-44 nm. Surface morphology was analyzed by S...

Dimensional analysis is shown to give an insight into the non-ergodic behaviour of spin ice below its apparent 'spin freezing' temperature. Expressions are derived for the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility that are found to be highly consistent with the previously reported field cooled and zero field cooled magnetization of the spin ice dysprosium titanate, Dy(2)Ti(2)O(7), as well a...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t The photoionization processes of excited hydrogen atoms in plasma environments are investigated using the method of complex coordinate rotation. The standard Debye–Hückel model and modified Debye– Hückel model are adopted to describe the plasma screening effects. The photoionization cross sections of plasma-embedded excited hydrogen atoms varied with differ...

Using a combination of dielectric spectroscopy and atomistic computer simulation techniques, the dynamical behaviour of loosely bound cations in the stuffed-silica minerals nepheline, yoshiokaite and ß-eucryptite has been investigated. The investigation has been extended to include the feldspar minerals albite, K-feldspar and anorthite. The low-frequency dielectric properties of all of the mine...
