A systematic neutron reflectometry study on hydrogen absorption in thin Mg_1-_xAl_x alloy films

H. Fritzsche, E. Poirier, J. Haagsma, C. Ophus, E. Luber, C. T. Harrower, and D. Mitlin - In this article, we show how neutron reflectometry (NR) can provide deep insight into the absorption and desorption properties of commercially promising hydrogen storage materials....

Discrete phase space - I: Variational formalism for classical relativistic wave fields

A. Das - This is the first in a series of papers dealing with a discrete phase space formulation for classical and quantum fields. This formulation leads to...

Discrete phase space - II: The second quantization of free relativistic wave fields

A. Das - The Klein - Gordon equation, the Maxwell equation, and the Dirac equation are presented as partial difference equations in the eight-dimensional covariant discrete phase space. These equations...

Discrete phase space - III: The divergence-free S-matrix elements

A. Das - In the arena of the discrete phase space and continuous time, the theory of S-matrix is formulated. In the special case of quantum electrodynamics (QED),...

Application of the “confusion principle” to Sn-based materials as negative electrode materials for Li-ion batteries

P. P. Ferguson and J. R. Dahn - The “confusion principle” (Greer. Nature, 366, 303 (1993)) is applied to tin-3d transition metals carbon alloys to obtain a nanostructured negative electrode material. Various Sn - TMs - C...

An exact solution of the Dirac equation for a time-dependent Hamiltonian in 1-1 dimension space-time

Dan Solomon - We find an exact solution to the Dirac equation in 1 - 1 dimension space-time in the presence of a time-dependent potential that consists of a combination...

On routing strategy with finite-capacity effect on scale-free networks

Shaoting Tang, Xin Jiang, Lili Ma, Zhanli Zhang, and Zhiming Zheng - We propose a class of systems with finite-capacity effect to investigate routing-strategy optimization. The local topology and the variable capacity, two crucial elements for routing,...
