251 Liu, FengPhysical origin of hydrogen-adsorption-induced metallization of the SiC surface: n-type doping via formation of hydrogen bridge bondWe perform first-principles calculations to explore the physical origin of hydrogen-induced semiconductor surface metallization observed in β-SiC(001)-3 x 2 surface. We show that the surface metallization arises from a novel mechanism of n-type doping of surface band via formation of hydrogen bri...Metallization; Hydrogen adsorption; SiC; n-type doping; Hydrogen bridge bond2005-10
252 Mishchenko, EugenePseudospin ferromagnetism in double-quantum-wire systemsWe propose that a pseudospin ferromagnetic (i.e., interwire coherent) state can exist in a system of two parallel wires of finite width in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. This novel quantum many-body state appears when the interwire distance decreases below a certain critical value ...Coulomb drag; Quantum wires2005-08
253 DeTar, CarletonQCD thermodynamics with three flavors of improved staggered quarksWe report on a study of QCD thermodynamics with three flavors of quarks, using a Symanzik improved gauge action and the Asqtad O(a2) improved staggered quark action. Simulations were carried out with lattice spacings 1/4T, 1/6T, and 1/8T both for three degenerate quarks with masses less than or equa...Quark-gluon plasma; Staggered quarks; Phase transitions; Polyakov loop2005-02
254 Wu, Yong-ShiQuiver matrix mechanics for IIB string theory (II): generic dual tori, fractional matrix membrane and SL(2, Z) dualityWith the deconstruction technique, the geometric information of a torus can be encoded in a sequence of orbifolds. By studying the Matrix Theory on these orbifolds as quiver mechanics, we present a formulation that (de)constructs the torus of generic shape on which Matrix Theory is "compactified". T...2005-02

256 Hansen, Charles D.Reconstruction and visualization of planetary nebulaeAbstract-From our terrestrially confined viewpoint, the actual three-dimensional shape of distant astronomical objects is, in general, very challenging to determine. For one class of astronomical objects, however, spatial structure can be recovered from conventional 2D images alone. So-called planet...2005-09

259 DeTar, CarletonResults for light pseudoscalars from three-flavor simulationsWe compute pseudoscalar meson masses and decay constants in partially quenched QCD with three dynamical flavors of improved staggered quarks. Fitting the lattice data to staggered chiral perturbation theory (SX_x001F_PT) forms and extrapolating in quark mass and lattice spacing, we find: frr = 129...Pseudoscalars; Decay constants; Staggered quarks2005-03
260 Liu, FengSelf-organization of semiconductor nanocrystals by selective surface facetingThe formation and ordering of Si nanocrystals in dewetting and agglomeration of the thin single crystalline Si layer in silicon-on-insulator has been investigated using low-energy electron microscopy.

264 Couldwell, William T.Surgical outcomes in 118 patients with Rathke cleft cystsObject. Microscopic Rathke cleft cysts are a common incidental autopsy finding, but some Rathke cleft cysts can become sufficiently large to cause visual impairment, hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, and headaches. In this study patients were evaluated pre- and postoperatively to ascertain the cli...2005-02
265 Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Efros, Alexei L.Theoretical and experimental studies of metal-infiltrated opalsThe optical properties of metal-infiltrated synthetic opals have been studied analytically, numerically, and experimentally in the visible and infrared spectral ranges.

266 Mattis, Daniel C.Theory of ferromagnetism in carbon foamAn explanation is proposed for spontaneous magnetism in the material, "carbon nanofoam," in terms of random ferrimagnetism. Wherever a carbon nanotube branches out, an electron trap is created at the junction. Electrons occupying neighboring junctions align their spins antiparallel.Carbon foam; Nanotubes; Nanofoam2005-04
267 DeTar, CarletonThree flavor QCD at high temperaturesWe have continued our study of the phase diagram of high temperature QCD with three flavors of improved staggered quarks.

268 Couldwell, William T.Thrombosed Basilar Apex Aneurysm presenting as a third ventricular mass and hydrocephalus: case report and review of the literatureAneurysms presenting as third ventricular masses are uncommon; most are giant aneurysms arising from the basilar apex. We present a case of a thrombosed basilar apex aneurysm presenting as a third ventricular mass and hydrocephalus in a 55-year-old man. The case is unique in the literature as the an...Basilar Apex Aneurysm; Ventricular Mass; Third Ventriculostomy2005-04
269 DeTar, CarletonTopological susceptibility with three flavors of staggered quarksAs one test of the validity of the staggered-fermion fourth-root determinant trick, we examine the suppression of the topological susceptibility of the QCD vacuum in the limit of small quark mass. The suppression is sensitive to the number of light sea quark flavors. Our study is done in the presenc...Staggered quarks; Chiral perturbation2005-03
