As a result of the oxidation of chromium (Cr)-manganese (Mn) steels, a multilayer scale is formed. The intermediate layer of this scale is composed of MnCr2O4 spinel, and the outer layer is composed of MnO. The aim of...

Feature tracking in large data sets is traditionally an off-line, batch processing operation while virtual reality typically focuses on highly interactive tasks and applications. This paper presents an approach that uses a combination of off-line preprocessing and interactive visualization in VR to simplify and speed up the identification of interesting features for further study. We couch the discussion in terms of our collaborative research on using virtual reality for cumulus cloud life-cycle studies, where selecting suitable clouds for study is simple for the skilled observer but difficult to formalize. The preprocessing involves identifying individual clouds within the data set through a 4D connected components algorithm, and then saving isosurface, bounding box, and volume information. This information is then interactively visualized in our VR Cloud Explorer with various tools and information displays to identify the most interesting clouds. In a small pilot study, reasonable performance, both in the preprocessing phase and the visualization phase, has been measured.

We present experimental results of μ-atomic and μ-molecular processes induced by negative muons in pure helium and helium-deuterium mixtures. The experiment was performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland). We measured relative intensities of muonic x-ray K series transitions in (μHe3,4)* atoms in pure helium as well as in helium-deuterium mixtures. The dμHe3 radiative decay probabilities for two different helium densities in D2+He3 mixture were also determined. Finally, the q1sHe probability for a dμ atom formed in an excited state to reach the ground state was measured and compared with theoretical calculations using a simple cascade model.

We study the loss of entanglement of a bipartite state subjected to discarding or measurement of one qubit. Examining behavior of different entanglement measures, we find that entanglement of formation, entanglement cost, logarithmic negativity, and one-way distillable entanglement are lockable measures in that they can decrease arbitrarily after measuring one qubit. We prove that any convex and asymptotically noncontinuous measure is lockable. As a consequence, all the convex-roof measures can be locked. The relative entropy of entanglement is shown to be a nonlockable measure.

A radical change (Feenstra, Holmer, Tromans, Moos and Mieritz 2003) in manufacturing is starting to occur. The Rapid Manufacturing, which can be defined as "the use of an additive manufacturing process to construct parts that are used directly as finished products or components", is set to supersede many current uses of moulds and dies. Rapid Manufacturing (Wohlers 2003) is based on new additive manufacturing techniques that produce fully functional parts directly from a 3D CAD model without the use of tooling. The ambitious scope of the European Initiative CUSTOM-FIT, a Framework 6 Integrated Project, is to create a fully integrated system for the design, production and supply of individualized custom-products. Within the cases under study there are strong connections to sporting articles. This project is being funded by the European Commission over the next four years and a half and will become central to European research concerning Rapid Manufacturing (RM).

We characterize the set of shared quantum states which contain a cryptographically private key. This allows us to recast the theory of privacy as a paradigm closely related to that used in entanglement manipulation. It is shown that one can distill an arbitrarily secure key from bound entangled states. There are also states that have less distillable private keys than the entanglement cost of the state. In general, the amount of distillable key is bounded from above by the relative entropy of entanglement. Relationships between distillability and distinguishability are found for a class of states which have Bell states correlated to separable hiding states. We also describe a technique for finding states exhibiting irreversibility in entanglement distillation.

E-tutorial systems recently played important roles in the teaching and learning of both online and conventional courses. Students have opportunities to study and practice exercises under guidance of the systems. A challenge in the development of e-tutorial systems is the design and implementation of the student guidance system. The guidance system should take into consideration the ability of individual students and give appropriate questions according to the student's ability. The students should finally reach the solution and gain better understanding of the learning topic. This paper presents the student guidance system of ESBO, a knowledge-based physics e-tutorial system. This system considers individual student's ability in a different approach from other existing systems.

Few-electron eigenstates confined in coupled concentric double quantum rings are studied by the exact diagonalization technique. We show that the magnetic field suppresses the tunnel coupling between the rings, localizing the single-electron states in the internal ring and the few-electron states in the external ring. The magnetic fields inducing the ground-state angular momentum transitions are determined by the distribution of the electron charge between the rings. The charge redistribution is translated into modifications of the fractional Aharonov-Bohm period. We demonstrate that the electron distribution can be deduced from the cusp pattern of the chemical potentials governing the single-electron charging properties of the system. The evolution of the electron-electron correlations to the high field limit of a classical Wigner molecule is discussed.

The phase diagram for the ground-state symmetry of three electrons confined in a pair of laterally coupled dots is determined as function of the interdot distance and the magnetic field. With a few exceptions the ground-state spin and parity symmetry sequence of a circular harmonic quantum dot is conserved. Reentrant behavior of some energy levels as ground states is found as a function of the magnetic field. The disappearance of interdot tunnelling due to a strong magnetic field leads to ground-state degeneracy of the even and odd parity energy levels. It is shown that at a high magnetic field the system can be closely approximated by a two-electron system confined in one dot and a spectator electron localized in the other. Broken-parity eigenstates with a classical charge distribution are constructed and used to discuss the interdot electron-electron correlations.

The time-dependent Schrödinger equation for an electron passing through a semiconductor quantum ring of nonzero width is solved in the presence of a perpendicular homogeneous magnetic field. We study the effects of the Lorentz force on the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. Within the range of incident momentum for which the ring is transparent at zero magnetic field, the Lorentz force leads to a decrease of the oscillation amplitude, due to the asymmetry in the electron injection in the two arms of the ring. For structures in which the fast electrons are predominantly backscattered, the Lorentz force assists in the transport, producing an initial increase of the corresponding oscillation amplitude. Furthermore, we discuss the effect of elastic scattering on a potential cavity within one of the arms of the ring. For the cavity tuned to shift maximally the phase of the maximum of the wave packet we observe a π shift of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. For other cavity depths oscillations with a period of half of the flux quantum are observed.
