Article describes an electronic storage ring that employs the space charge of an electron plasma for focusing. An advantage of the present concept is that slow ions, or even a stationary ion plasma, can be confined. The concept employs an artificially structured boundary, which is defined at present as one that produces a spatially periodic static field such that the spatial period and range of the field are much smaller than the dimensions of a plasma or charged-particle beam that is confined by the field.

This article reports a study of a cold target with a high Fermi energy in light of recent research that points to a new phase of hydrogen, which is hypothesized to be related to metallic hydrogen. It has been shown that if the energy transfer between injected ions and target electrons is sufficiently small, net energy gain can be achieved. As such, the target is considered to be composed of nuclei and delocalized electrons.

Article describes a computational tool that can be used for designing magnetic focusing or defocusing systems. A fully three-dimensional classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulation has been developed.

Article on theoretical and experimental efforts to use dual levitated coils to confine relatively large, cold, dense non-drifting recombining antihydrogen plasmas. The theoretical effort includes the development of a classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulation of confinement. The experimental effort includes levitation of a NdFeB permanent ring magnet, which produces a magnetic field that is qualitatively similar to the field that would be produced by the two coaxial superconducting magnetic coils.

This article, using calculations from first principles, reveals for the first time giant intrinsic spin Hall conductivities (SHC) in these materials. In particular, the article shows that the SHC resonances can be easily tuned by combination of strain and doping and, in some cases, strain can be used to induce semiconductor to metal transition that makes a giant spin Hall effect possible even in absence of doping.

In this paper, the authors show using scanning tunneling microscopy, spectroscopy, and ab initio calculations that several intercalation structures exist for Na in epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001). Intercalation takes place at room temperature and Na electron-dopes the graphene. It intercalates in-between single-layer graphene and the carbon-rich interfacial layer. It also penetrates beneath the interfacial layer and decouples it to form a second graphene layer. This decoupling is accelerated by annealing and is verified by direct Na deposition onto the interface layer. The authors' observations show that intercalation in graphene is fundamentally different than in graphite and is a versatile means of electronic control.

This paper addresses the dynamics of two indistinguishable interacting particles moving on a dynamical percolation graph.

Article studies the possibility that antihydrogen can be synthesized via three body recombination involving magnetobound protonium through classical trajectory simulation. It has been previously reported that proton antiproton collisions can result in a correlated drift of the particles perpendicular to a magnetic field. While the two particles are in their correlated drift, they are referred to as a magnetobound protonium system. Possible three body recombination resulting in bound state antihydrogen is studied when a magnetobound protonium system encounters a positron.

This article describes a study that was conducted to determine what would happen if a magnetobound positronium system encountered a finite-mass antiproton. The simulation incorporates a strong magnetic field (1 T) similar to that found within Penning traps. The simulation shows that with a finite-mass antiproton, the electron will be ejected from the system, and the positron is captured into a bound state with an antiproton thereby synthesizing antihydrogen.
