When people think about “traditional
arts,” people don't tend to think “technology.” Some would even say there is a tension between the two. However, the number of people who turn to the internet to learn more about the ...
Electronic Phases and Phase Separation in the Hubbard-Holstein Model of a Polar Interface
(arXiv, 2010)
From a mean-field solution of the Hubbard-Holstein model, we show that a rich variety of different electronic phases can result at the interface between two polar materials such as LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$. Depending on the ...
Transgenic trees for biomass : the effects of regulatory restrictions and court decisions on the pace of commercialization
(AgBioForum, 2010)
Wood has great potential as a bioenergy source, both as a feedstock for liquid biofuels for the transport sector and also as biomass, a direct source of energy that can be used to produce electric power. Trees, however, ...
The quantum mechanics of electric conduction in crystals
(American Association of Physics Teachers, 2010)
We introduce a model of electrons incident on a one-dimensional periodic potential and show that conduction is a result of the interference of different parts of an electron wave that bounce multiple times through a series ...
