Bismuth, the heaviest group V semimetal, exhibit strong spinorbit coupling effects. In the framework of the density functional formalism, we present here an ab initio calculation of the Bismuth band structure, using non-local ...

This paper deals with the correlation of substantive acceleration fluctuations in a stationary homogeneous turbulence which is invariant under translations and rotations but lacks reflectional symmetry. Appropriate invariant ...

An investigation has been done of a short-lived neutral decay from a muonneutrino event in emulsion. Various hypotheses are considered and it is deduced that the most probable explanation involves the production and decay, ...

Alfvén waves in fusion plasmas play an important role in a number of situations. First, in Alfvén Wave Heating (AWH) schemes. Second, both theory and experiment have demonstrated the existence of Global Alfvén Eigenmodes ...

A numerical approach is used to study the temporal development of the excitation levels of ion-sound waves and the associated reflexion and transmission properties, when laser radiation falls onto a plasma. The problem is ...

Large amplitude plasma waves which can be created by beating two intense laser beams are applicable e.g., to particle acceleration, to induction of plasma currents, and to plasma heating. A central issue in these applications ...

Beam-foil spectra have been searched for transitions in Xe V suggested by comparison with the structure of I IV and Cs VI, and by an MCHF calculation. Twenty-nine lines are assigned to transitions between 22 levels of the ...

We give a brief introduction to the study of parity non-conserving effects in atoms. We describe the optical rotation experiments carried out in Oxford, and summarize recent results for bismuth and work in progress on samarium.

Spectra of highly-ionized silicon, aluminium, sulfur and argon ions produced by the beam-foil technique have been analysed in the 5-40 nm wavelength range. Numerous transitions belonging to n = 3-4, 4-5 and 3-5 transitions ...

The important role that field-aligned Birkeland currents play in solar terrestrial coupling processes has been known from satellite observations for twenty years. Many satellites have been launched since the last ...
