The turbulent transport of impurity or minority species, as for example tritium, is investigated in drift-Alfvén edge turbulence. The full effects of perpendicular and parallel convection are kept for the impurity species. The impurity density develops a granular structure with steep gradients and locally exceeds its initial values due to the compressibility of the flow. An approximate decompos...

The pointlike impurity scattering is studied for a superconductor with different pairing symmetries based on a minimal two band model proposed by S. Raghu et al. [Phys. Rev. B 77, R220503 (2008)], and the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. Two intragap resonance peaks are found at or near the nonmagnetic impurity site for a typical sx2y2 symmetry and strong scattering potentials. S...

Abstract. We present the results of detailed theoretical investigations of changes in local density of total electronic surface states in 1D atomic chain and in 2D anisotropic atomic semiconductor lattice in the presence of impurity atom for a wide range of applied bias voltage. We have found that taking into account changes in density of continuous spectrum states leads to the formation of a d...

We study the dependence of the critical size of the nucleus on the density of impurity by carrying out a Monte Carlo simulation. We assume that the impurities are fixed on a crystal surface, and neglect restoration of bonds between an impurity atom and an adsorbed atom. We initially prepare one cluster in the system and investigate the change of the cluster size. When the cluster size is the cr...

We present a methodology for estimating the efficiency potential for candidate impurity-band photovoltaic materials from empirical measurements. This methodology employs both Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and low-temperature photoconductivity to calculate a " performance figure of merit " and to determine both the position and bandwidth of the impurity band. We evaluate a candidate im...

Systematic impurity doping in the Cu-O plane of the hole-doped cuprate superconductors may allow one to decide between unconventional (”d-wave”) and anisotropic conventional (”s-wave”) states as possible candidates for the order parameter in these materials. We show that potential scattering of any strength always increases the gap minima of such s-wave states, leading to activated behavior in ...

High-resolution measurements of impurity ion dynamics provide first-time evidence of classical ion confinement in a toroidal, magnetically confined plasma. The density profile evolution of fully stripped carbon is measured in MST reversed-field pinch plasmas with reduced magnetic turbulence to assess Coulomb-collisional transport without the neoclassical enhancement from particle drift effects....

We study a waveguide array with an embedded nonlinear saturable impurity. We solve the impurity problem in closed form and find the nonlinear localized modes. Next, we consider the scattering of a small-amplitude plane wave by a nonlinear impurity mode, and discover regions in parameter space where transmission is fully suppressed. We relate these findings with Fano resonances and propose this ...

We use the numerical renormalization group method (NRG) to investigate a single-impurity Anderson model with a coupling of the impurity to a superconducting host. Analysis of the energy flow shows that, contrary to previous belief, NRG iterations can be performed up to a large number of sites, corresponding to energy differences far below the superconducting gap Δ. This allows us to calculate t...
