Static and dynamic frictional phenomena at the interface with random impurities are investigated in a two-chain model with incommensurate structure. Static frictional force is caused by the impurity pinning and/or by the pinning due to the regular potential, which is responsible for the breaking of analyticity transition for impurity-free cases. It is confirmed that the static frictional force ...

We study the effects produced by competition of two physical mechanisms of energy localization in inhomogeneous nonlinear systems. As an example, we analyze spatially localized modes supported by a nonlinear impurity in the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation and describe three types of nonlinear impurity modes, one- and two-hump symmetric localized modes and asymmetric localized modes, ...

Using bosonization and path integral methods, we study general low temperature behavior of non-magnetic and magnetic impurity scattering in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid, and calculate electron Green function for a general backward scattering potential. We demonstrate that electron density of state near the impurity site is suppressed by the backward scattering, but it mainly remains invariant as f...

Using a nonequilibrium density functional calculation, we investigated the electronic transport properties and fundamental mechanism of spin polarization as a function of the location of impurities from the center to an edge of a graphene nanoribbon device (GND) with zigzag edges. A center-located impurity enables both edges to be enhanced with respect to their spin transports whereas an edge-l...

In the present work, a one pot, rapid and room temperature photochemical Synthesis of transition metal (TM; Cu, Mn, Cr)-doped ZnSe/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) was reported. FT-IR spectrum confirmed the capping of ZnSe by thioglycolic acid. XRD and TEM analysis demonstrated zinc blende phase NCs with an average size of around 3 and 5 nm for TM:ZnSe and TM:ZnSe/ZnS NCs, respectively. PL spe...

Tokamak has toroidal symmetry and symmetry breaking via application of non-axisymmetric field produces disccipation of toroidal momentum by NTV [1] and produces offset toroidal rotation [2]. Callen explained NTV physics and origin of offset toroidal rotation plainly without impurity [3] and with impurity [4]. For impurity, same toroidal rotation for ion and impurity is assumed in [4], which is ...

In ordinary metals, antiferromagnetic exchange between conduction electrons and a magnetic impurity leads to screening of the impurity spin below the Kondo temperature, TK . In systems such as semimetals, small-gap semiconductors and unconventional superconductors, a reduction in available conduction states near the chemical potential can greatly depress TK . The behavior of an Anderson impurit...

Theory of the off-centre instability is developed for the impurity ions (Li', CuC, and Ag') in alkali halides on the basis of the charge transfer excitation model which is different in the involved electronic processes from the earlier theory based on the polarizable-point charge ion model. The lowest potential minima for the impurity ion along < 11 1 ), ( 110 ), and < 100 ) crystal axes are ca...

There is a mechanism of the Coulomb screening of charging of a localized electronic state located inside a conductor, which was first discussed by G. Mahan, P. Nozieres and C. De Dominicis, and by K. D. Schotte and U. Schotte [1]. They demonstrated that the rate of a one-electron jump 1/Γ, (h̄ = 1) undergoes exponential renormalization due to both the reconstruction of the Fermi seas and the exc...
