A numerical investigation of the kinetic processes in the initial (nanosecond range) stage of the double-arcing instability was developed. The plasma-sheath boundary region of an oxygen-operated cutting torch was considered. ...

Relaxor ferroelectrics are complex oxide materials which are rather unique to study the effects of compositional disorder on phase transitions. Here, we study the effects of quenched cubic random electric fields on the ...

We examine the effects of strain and cation substitution on the superconducting phase of polar semiconductors near a ferroelectric quantum phase transition with a model that combines a strong coupling theory of ...

Upper Miocene Chimpa volcano is one of the largest stratovolcanoes of the back–arc region of the central Andes. The gentle–sloped volcano underwent previously unrecognized volcanic instability, consisting of ≈ 2 km3 mass– ...

The present work provides a detailed kinetic analysis of the time-resolved dynamics of the gas heating during the arc reattachment in nitrogen gas in order to understand the main processes leading to such a fast reattachment. ...

Background: During the last two decades, researchers have suggested that the changes of malaria cases in African highlands were driven by climate change. Recently, a study claimed that the malaria cases (Plasmodium falciparum) ...

A model is developed to describe the electrostatic boundary layer in a positively biased magnetic filter in filtered arcs with low collisionality. The set of equations used includes the electron momentum equation, with an ...
