Spin-orbit coupling-induced spin Hall currents are generic in metals and doped semiconductors. It has recently been argued that the spin Hall conductivity can be dominated by an intrinsic contribution that follows from ...

Based on weak-coupling anisotropic BCS theory, the temperature dependence of energy gap and the specific heat are evaluated for the MgB2 superconductor, and the results are compared with experimental data. We show that the ...

The Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) is a division of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station and part of the Texas A&M University System. First established in 1939, the ESL maintains a testing laboratory on the Riverside ...

Extremes of stream flow and precipitation are commonly modeled by heavytailed distributions. While scrutinizing annual flow maxima or the peaks over threshold, the largest sample elements are quite often suspected to be ...

This study evaluates the feasibility of using artificial neural networks (ANNs) methodology for estimating the groundwork level in some piezometers implanted in complex aquifer of Northwestern Iran. This aquifer is the ...

It is hypothesized that the impulse response of a linearized convective diffusion wave (CD) model is a probability distribution suitable for flood frequency analysis. This flood frequency model has two parameters, which ...

We report on a study of the ac conductivity and magneto-optical properties of metallic ferromagnetic (III, Mn)V semiconductors in the infrared to visible spectrum at zero temperature. Our analysis is based on the successful ...

Using a rotating magnetic field, the Hall effect in three-dimensional amorphous GdxSi1-x has been measured in the critical regime of the metal-insulator transition for a constant total magnetic field. The Hall coefficient ...

In Richard Bauman's landmark study Verbal Art as Performance, reflexivity plays a small but important role. Combining ideas from Verbal Art with insights from phenomenology, this article uses the concept of reflexivity ...
