X-ray diffraction indicates the films are [Formula: see text]-phase with peaks shifted to lower angles compared to pure Pb. The [Formula: see text] of the films was higher than those of an amorphous Pb–Bi alloy thin film of the same composition and pure bulk Pb. The resistivity, critical field and critical current density of the thin films are reported. The coherence length ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]) and London penetration depth ([Formula: see text]) near [Formula: see text] were calculated from the experimental results. The films are in the dirty limit and behave as type-II superconductors with a Ginzburg–Landau parameter of about 10. Additionally, the films show sign reversal in Hall measurements. These films have been quite useful in a comprehensi...

Gupta and D. Herschbach, J. Phys. Chem. A 105, 1626 (2001)]. The beam emerges from a nozzle near the tip of a hollow rotor which can be spun at high-speed to shift the molecular velocity distribution downward or upward over a wide range. Here we consider mostly the slowing mode. Introducing a pulsed gas inlet system, cryocooling, and a shutter gate eliminated the main handicap of the original device in which continuous gas flow imposed high background pressure. The new version provides intense pulses, of duration 0.1-0.6 ms (depending on rotor speed) and containing ∼10(12) molecules at lab speeds as low as 35 m/s and ∼10(15) molecules at 400 m∕s. Beams of any molecule available as a gas can be slowed (or speeded); e.g., we have produced slow and fast beams of rare gases, O(2), Cl(2), NO(2), NH(3), and SF(6). For collision experiments, the ability to scan the beam speed by merely adjusting the ...

The general behavior of the phase diagram of this system can be understand in the framework of mean field theory and the hysteresis curve of the magnetic nanostructure. Magnetic nanorods/nanowires can strongly increase vortex pinning and, consequently, the critical current and critical field. The results of experimental and theoretical studies of this new class of superconducting systems are discussed. KeywordsSuperconductivity-Hybrid-Magnetic nanorods-Vortex pinning-Critical field

Research paper thumbnail of Dynamical friction and instability of interface motion

This dynamicnl friction mechanism is impomnt, e.g., for a moving interface which is subjected to quenched random pinning forces. For sufficiently strong pinning forces, interface motion becomes nnstable at values of driving force smaller than some critical one and the interface velocity dmps. We expect in this case a first-order depinning bansition with hysteresis in the dependence of the interface velocity on driving force. Instability in the interface motion remains under perturbations like an additional periodic driving force or thermal tluctuadons. Interface motion instability clin also take place in systems with small viscosity, when inertial effects are important.

Research paper thumbnail of Quantitative studies of two-dimensional first- and second-order phase transitions by integrating diffraction methods

For the continuous order-disorder phase transitions of several atomic adsorption systems, critical properties have been studied by determination of the critical exponents α (of the specific heat) and η, the anomalous critical dimension, in the limit k ξ 1. We performed systematic tests of the conditions under which these exponents can be determined reliably from the diffracted intensity of superstructure beams. In first-order phase transitions, scaling laws characterize specific mechanisms driving the transitions. As an example of two-dimensional first-order phase transitions, the transitions between a two-dimensional (2D) gas and the 2D solid of the first monolayer have been studied for the noble gases Ar, Kr and Xe on a NaCl(100) surface in quasi-equilibrium with the three-dimensional (3D) gas phase. Using linear temperature ramps, we show that the widths of the hysteresis loops of these transitions as a function of the heating rate, r, scale with a power law ∝ r x with x between 0.4 and 0.5 depending on the system. The hysteresis loops for different heating rates are similar. The island area of the condensed layer was found to grow initially with a time dependence ∝ t 4. These results are in agreement with a model of growth-controlled hysteresis, which predicts x = 0.5 and hysteresis loop similarity.

We also demonstrate a levitation based microfluidic processor to process droplets/particles with up to a billion times smaller volume than in typical microfluidic devices. The levitated particles can be positioned with up to 300 nm accuracy and precisely rotated and assembled, providing a different physical approach for Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems. Force can be applied to the droplets/particles via magnetic, electric and gravitational fields with up to femto Newton accuracy, and potential energy can be controlled with up to 0.2 zepto J (0.05 T k B) precision, thus providing experimental tools for fundamental studies.
