2014 The Bruggeman optical effective medium theory of the dielectric permeability 03B5e(03C9) of inhomogeneous media is analysed for metal-dielectric compounds in relation to the non metal-metal transition. The influence of the constituent-material parameters (free-electron parameters and bound-state polarization) on both the real and imaginary parts of 03B5e(03C9) is investigated in detail for...

Abstract Disordered spring networks can exhibit rigidity transitions, due to either the removal of material in over-constrained or application strain under-constrained ones. While an effective medium theory (EMT) exists for former, there is none latter. We, therefore, formulate EMT random regular, with purely geometrical disorder predict their stiffness via distribution tensions. We find a line...

Effects of medium polarization are studied for 1S0 pairing in neutron and nuclear matter. The screening potential is calculated in the RPA limit, suitably renormalized to cure the low density mechanical instability of nuclear matter. The selfenergy corrections are consistently included resulting in a strong depletion of the Fermi surface. All medium effects are calculated based on the Brueckner...

In the context of highly efficient, non-toxic and natural organic corrosion inhibitors, Phyllogorgia dilatata was studied as an anticorrosive for mild steel in acid medium. The marine octocoral crude extract (PDCE) was characterized and analyzed by LC-HRMS, revealing the presence of 16 different organic molecules. The corrosion inhibition was evaluated via weight loss study and electrochemical ...

We consider the anomaly induced effective action in N =4 super Yang-Mills theory in interaction with the Brans-Dicke (BD) field. The generalization of the BD theory so as to permit an energy exchange between the scalar field and ordinary matter fields, was recently worked out by T. Clifton and J. D. Barrow [Phys. Rev. D 73, 104022 (2006)]. We derive the scalar field equations for the dilaton fi...
