276 Mattis, Daniel C.New wave-operator identity applied to the study of persistent currents in 1DWe show that a large class of backward-scattering matrix elements involving Δk ~ + 2k F vanish for fermions interacting with two-body attractive forces in one dimension. (These same matrix elements are finite for noninteracting particles and infinite for particles interacting with two-body repulsiv...Persistent current; Supercurrents1974
277 Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Nahata, AjayMidinfrared optical response and thermal emission from plasmonic lattices on Al filmsWe studied the midinfrared optical transmission and thermal light emission spectra of subwavelength hole arrays in the form of square lattice with 4 µm periodicity (plasmonic lattice) in aluminum films deposited on silicon substrates.

300 Mattis, Daniel C.Ratio 2Δ0/kTc in superconductivityIn high-temperature superconductors, values of the ratio R-2Δ0/kTc have been reported in the range 2-10, whereas low-temperature superconductors rarely deviate by as much as 50% from the BCS prediction R =3.54. Could this variability relate to the density of states near the Fermi surface? Our calcu...Density of state; Superconductors1991-12
