  • Collective excitations in quantum Hall liquid crystals: Single-mode approximation calculations 

    Lapilli, Cintia Mariela, 1980-; Wexler, Carlos, 1966- (American Physical Society, 2006)
    A variety of recent experiments probing the low-temperature transport properties of quantum Hall systems have suggested an interpretation in terms of liquid crystalline mesophases dubbed quantum Hall liquid crystals. The ...

  • Liquid crystalline states for two-dimensional electrons in strong magnetic fields 

    Ciftja, Orion; Lapilli, Cintia Mariela, 1980-; Wexler, Carlos, 1966- (American Physical Society, 2004)
    Based on the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young theory of two-dimensional melting and the analogy between Laughlin states and the two-dimensional one-component plasma, we investigate the possibility of liquid ...

  • Properties of low-dimensional systems 

    Lapilli, Cintia Mariela, 1980- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this work we study the equilibrium properties of systems in two-dimensions, and the effects that discrete symmetry, space dimensionality, character ...

  • Universality away from critical points in two-dimensional phase transitions 

    Lapilli, Cintia Mariela, 1980-; Pfeifer, Peter; Wexler, Carlos, 1966- (arXiv, 2006)
    The p-state clock model in two dimensions is a system of discrete rotors with a quasi-liquid phase in a region T1 < T < T2 for p > 4. We show that, for p > 4 and above a temperature Teu, all macroscopic thermal averages, ...

  • Using Assessment to Inform Teaching in a Physical Science Content Course for Preservice Elementary Teachers 

    Richard, Matt; Hanuscin, Deborah L.; Chandrasekhar, Meera; Corman, Adrian, 1979-; Lapilli, Cintia Mariela, 1980- (2010-10)
    The improvement of undergraduate science courses remains an ongoing concern of university and college faculty. Blueprints for Reform (AAAS, 1998) and Shaping the Future: New Expectations for Undergraduate Education in ...
