201 Lupton, John MarkEnergetic disorder limits energy transfer in semiconductor nanocrystal-DNA-dye conjugatesWe demonstrate the influence of spectral linewidths of individual donor-acceptor couples on energy transfer efficiency in semiconductor nanocrystal-DNA-organic dye conjugates.

202 Symko, Orest GeorgeEnergy conversion using thermoacoustic devicesThermoacoustic engines offer the possibility for simple and efficient energy convmiondevices. They can be prime movers where heat produces sound or heat pumps and refrigerators where sound pump heat. An important element in such engines is the secondary thermodynamic medium, the stack which provides...Thermoacoustic devices; Thermoacoustics1999
203 Sokolsky, PierreEnergy estimation of UHE cosmic rays using the atmospheric fluorescence techniqueWe use the CORSIKA air shower simulation program to review the method for assigning energies to ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic rays viewed with the air fluorescence technique. This technique uses the atmosphere as a calorimeter, and we determine the corrections that must be made to the calorimetric ...Fluorescence; Energy estimation; Ultra-high energy cosmic rays2000-08
204 Rogachev, AndreyEnhancing superconductivity: magnetic impurities and their quenching by magnetic fieldsMagnetic fields and magnetic impurities are each known to suppress superconductivity. However, as the field quenches (i.e. polarizes) the impurities, rich consequences, including field-enhanced superconductivity, can emerge when both effects are present. For the case of superconducting wires and th...Thermal phase slippage; Coulomb blockade2006-09-01
205 DeTar, CarletonEquation of state and QCD transition at finite temperatureWe calculate the equation of state in 2 + 1 flavor QCD at finite temperature with physical strange quark mass and almost physical light quark masses using lattices with temporal extent Nr = 8.

206 DeTar, CarletonEquation of state for two flavor QCD at Nt=6We calculate the two flavor equation of state for QCD on lattices with lattice spacing a=(6T)21 and find that cutoff effects are substantially reduced compared to an earlier study using a=(4T)21. However, it is likely that significant cutoff effects remain. We fit the lattice data to expected forms ...Phase transitions; Quark-gluon plasma; Dynamical quarks1997-06

208 Mishchenko, EugeneEquilibrium currents in chiral systems with nonzero Chern numberWe describe a simple quantum-mechanical approach to calculating equilibrium particle current along the edge of a system with nontrivial band spectrum topology. The approach does not require any a priori knowledge of the band topology and, as a matter of fact, treats topological and nontopological co...2014-01-01
209 Gondolo, PaoloEvidence for "sterile neutrino" dark matter?I show that it may be possible to explain the present evidence for a gamma-ray emission from the galactic halo as due to halo WIMP annihilations. Not only the intensity and spatial pattern of the halo emission can be matched but also the relic density of the candidate WIMP can be in the cosmologica...Sterile neutrino; WIMP; Weakly interacting massive particles; Annihilations; Z boson; Higgs sector1998
210 Sokolsky, PierreEvidence for 10^18-eV neutral particles from the direction of Cygnus X-3Analysis of the cumulative Fly's Eye data reveals an excess of air showers from the direction of Cygnus X-3 at energies above 0.5 x 10^18 eV.

217 Ailion, David CharlesEvidence for elastic disorder in the elastically ordered phase of KCNWe have obtained evidence from 1 3C NMR measurements that the CN~ ion in the elastically ordered phase of KCN is misoriented slightly with respect to the orthorhombic b axis.

224 Mattis, Daniel C.Exact solution of a many-fermion system and its associated boson fieldLuttinger's exactly soluble model of a one-dimensional many-fermion system is discussed.
