X-Point Effect on Plasma Blob Dynamics

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Fabio Avino

Plasma blob dynamics on the high-field side in the proximity of a magnetic field null (X point) is investigated in TORPEX. A significant acceleration of the blobs towards the X point is observed. Close to the X point the blobs break apart. The E x B drifts ...

Gauge Invariance of Thermal Transport Coefficients

Aris Marcolongo, Paolo Umari, Loris Ercole

Thermal transport coefficients are independent of the specific microscopic expression for the energy density and current from which they can be derived through the Green-Kubo formula. We discuss this independence in terms of a kind of gauge invariance resu ...

Understanding the rate-dependent J-V hysteresis, slow time component, and aging in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells: the role of a compensated electric field

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Thomas Moehl, Nevena Vaskova Marinova

In this work we show that the rate-dependent hysteresis seen in current-voltage scans of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells is related to a slow field-induced process that tends to cancel the electric field in the device at each applied bias voltage. It is ...

Spontaneously broken mass

Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

The Galilei group involves mass as a central charge. We show that the associated superselection rule is incompatible with the observed phenomenology of superfluid helium 4: this is recovered only under the assumption that mass is spontaneou.519 broken. Thi ...

Atomic and electronic structure of a Rashba p-n junction at the BiTeI surface

Helmuth Berger, Marco Grioni, Oleg Yazyev, Philippe Bugnon, Gabriel Albert Autes, Cédric Tournier-Colletta

The non-centro-symmetric semiconductor BiTeI exhibits two distinct surface terminations that support spin-split Rashba surface states. Their ambipolarity can be exploited for creating spin-polarized p-n junctions at the boundaries between domains with diff ...

Charge Asymmetry at Aqueous Hydrophobic Interfaces and Hydration Shells

Sylvie Roke, Yixing Chen, Rüdiger Scheu

The solvation of ions in a dielectric continuum is symmetric with respect to the sign of the ionic charge. Yet, many phenomena show indirect evidence that water may have a preference for negative charge: the vast majority of biological membrane interfaces ...
