Diseño y caracterización de un enfriador de átomos de tipo “desacelerador Zeeman”
(2016)Nosotros presentamos un método que utiliza simultáneamente dos modelos matemáticos, con el objetivo de optimizar el diseño de un desacelerador Zeeman, con miras a la implementación de átomos ultrafríos a la física del ... -
Tropical precipitation anomalies and d‐excess evolution during El Niño 2014‐16
(2016)The last 2014-16 El Niño event was among the three strongest episodes on record. El Niño considerably changes annual and seasonal precipitation across the tropics. Here, we present a unique stable isotope data set of daily ... -
The early rainy season in Central America: the role of thetropical North Atlantic SSTs
(2016)We explored the relationship between the precipitation anomalies during May to June as the first peak of the rainy season in the Pacific slope of Central America, and sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations in the ... -
Distribución espacial de impactos de eventos hidrometeorológicos en América Central
(2016)América Central está expuesta a la ocurrencia de eventos hidrometeorológicos a lo largo del año y los impactos que estos pueden provocar van a estar mayormente localizados en áreas donde las variables tanto naturales como ... -

Negative thermal expansion near two structural quantum phase transitions Connor
(2017-12-18)Recent experimental work has revealed that the unusually strong, isotropic structural negative thermal expansion in cubic perovskite ionic insulator ScF3 occurs in excited states above a ground state tuned very near a ... -

Random Electric Field Instabilities of Relaxor Ferroelectrics
(2017-06-13)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 ... -
Landau theory and giant room-temperature barocaloric effect
(2017-10-17)The structural phase transitions of MF3 (M = Al, Cr, V, Fe, Ti, Sc) metal trifluorides are studied within a simple Landau theory consisting of tilts of rigid MF6 octahedra associated with soft antiferrodistortive optic ... -
The mechanical career of Councillor Orffyreus, confidence man
(2013-05)In the early 18th century, J. E. E. Bessler, known as Orffyreus, constructed several wheels that he claimed could keep turning forever, powered only by gravity. He never revealed the details of his invention, but he ... -
Irreversibility in an ideal fluid
(2014-10)When a real fluid is expelled quickly from a tube, it forms a jet separated from the surrounding fluid by a thin, turbulent layer. On the other hand, when the same fluid is sucked into the tube, it comes in from all ... -
Chandler wobble: Stochastic and deterministic dynamics
(2016-09-18)We propose a model of the Earth’s torqueless precession, the “Chandler wobble,” as a self-oscillation driven by positive feedback between the wobble and the centrifugal deformation of the portion of the Earth’s mass contained ... -
A thermodynamic cycle for the solar cell
(2017-01-06)A solar cell is a heat engine, but textbook treatments are not wholly satisfactory from a thermodynamic standpoint, since they present solar cells as directly converting the energy of light into electricity, and the current ... -
Large isotropic negative thermal expansion above a structural quantum phase transition
(2015-10-01)Perovskite structured materials contain myriad tunable ordered phases of electronic and magnetic origin with proven technological importance and strong promise for a variety of energy solutions. An always-contributing ... -
Structure factor of a relaxor ferroelectric
(2015-04-14)We study a minimal model for a relaxor ferroelectric including dipolar interactions, and short-range harmonic and anharmonic forces for the critical modes as in the theory of pure ferroelectrics together with quenched ... -
Why is the electrocaloric effect so small in ferroelectrics?
(2016-05-19)Ferroelectrics are attractive candidate materials for environmentally friendly solid state refrigeration free of greenhouse gases. Their thermal response upon variations of external electric fields is largest in the vicinity ... -
Electronic structure of silicon-based nanostructures
(2007-08-30)We have developed a unifying tight-binding Hamiltonian that can account for the electronic properties of recently proposed Si-based nanostructures, namely, Si graphene-like sheets and Si nanotubes. We considered the sp3s∗ ...
