We examine the formation of the two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) at the n-type interface of two band insulators LaAlO3 (LAO) and SrTiO3 (STO) by increasing the thickness of the LAO layers in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). It has been shown that a metal-insulator phase transition occurs in the 2-DEG when the LAO layers reach to a critical thickness dc = 4 monolayers. T...

The La + O and La + O 2 chemiionization reactions have been investigated with quantum chemical methods. For La + O 2(X (3)Sigma g) and La + O 2(a (1)Delta g), the chemiionization reaction La + O 2 --> LaO 2 (+) + e (-) has been shown to be endothermic and does not contribute to the experimental chemielectron spectra. For the La + O 2(X (3)Sigma g) reaction conditions, chemielectrons are produce...

OBJECTIVE To compare correlation between right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) derived from MRI and equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography (ERNA) depicted from the left anterior oblique (LAO) view and anterior (ANT) view [designated as ERNA (LAO) and ERNA (ANT), respectively]. METHODS Twenty-one patients with cardiac disorders received ERNA and cardiac MRI examination within 2 weeks ...

Let’s model the LAO/STO system as two dielectrics films of infinite extent in the xy plane and finite slabs in the z direction. The dielectric constant of LAO will be 1 and that of STO will be 2. The thicknesses will be d1 and d2. The z axis runs orthogonal to these films: z = 0 will be the LAO surface, z > 0 will be the vacuum above the LAO film, z = −d1 will be the LAO/STO interface, and z = ...

This paper highlights the comparison of information literacy skills among master’s students social sciences departments Mizoram University (MZU) and Tezpur (TZU). The primary data collected by using survey method a structured 595 questionnaires were distributed respondents in which 522 (87.73 %) received. majority female both universities compared to male respondents. Universty have more awaren...

In 2003, Bhuma and Goldsmith introduced a bidirectional variant of Hansen and Zilberstein’s LAO* algorithm called BLAO* for solving goal-based MDPs. BLAO* consistently ran faster than LAO* on the race-track examples used in Hansen and Zilberstein’s paper. In this paper, we analyze the performance of BLAO* in comparison with both LAO* and our newly proposed algorithm, RLAO*, the reverse LAO* sea...
