Structure Definition and 1000 Threads

Hello The textbooks about nuclear physics I have read don't explain too much about the Yukawa's model. For example, the textbook Structure of the Nucleus -by Preston and Bhaduri- finish the Yukawa's model with open questions about the "mesonic effects" by virtual pions. And my doubt: are the...

Hey guys, I'm actually had a hard time in figuring out about our assignment in crystallography of semiconductors, the problem said that, Identify the atomic line lattice axes in a, b,c axis and basal plane diagonal, face plane diagonal, and body plane diagonal of TiO2 and Aluminum Nitride...

Homework Statement The CsCl structure is stable when the ratio of the smaller ion radius to larger ion radius is ##r > 0.73##. Why is this so? Show that the packing fraction, ##p##, is given by $$p = \frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{2} \frac{1+r^3}{(1+r)^3}$$ Homework Equations volume of sphere, volume of...

Why diamond lattice structure is a hardest (?) one? If it is because each atom connected to 4 adjacent, then why simple cubic, where each atom connects to 6 adjacent is not the case? And why ZnS having the same geometrical structure is not as strong as, say, carbon, or silicon diamond? Thank you.

I have been contemplating for a few days now about how one could think about the electronic structure of Liquid metals. The cases of an isolated atom or that of solid metal crystal are well known and easy to understand. Though, a google search reveals (to me) that nothing much has come out for...

Hello all, I am calculating the loads on an unconstrained structure in space that is accelerating. There is a constant known force (T) being applied to it at one end (point A). The structure is a rocket with distributed mass but let's assume it is a uniform beam with constant density. I would...

Hi All, I am going over a definition of a Contact Vector Field defined on a 3-manifold: this is defined as " a vector field v whose flow preserves the contact structure " . 1) Background (sorry if this is too simple) A contact structure ## \xi ##( let's stick to 3-manifolds for now ) is a...

Hi, it is a "well-known" result that the only 2d-sphere that allows a complex structure is S^2 ; it is open whether S^6 admits a complex structure, though it does admit an almost-complex structure. I know there are proofs that require knowledge of characteristics classes; does anyone...

Homework Statement See attachment q2 for the perovskite structure The Attempt at a Solution For the perovskite structure, I assume that the lattice constant is equal to 2*(R1+R2+R3) and calculate the density based on this. Am I correct? (The attachment q2ans is my attempt on the...

Hello, I don’t know much about physics and I am building a rack for my pickup truck. For my own safety, I need to know in how much load I can put on this rack. I drew up a diagram to clear up miscommunication for whoever wants to solve that problem. It would be highly appreciated. Distance...

In a recent online lecture it was said there is now known releationship between the masses of quarks. My online search seemed to back this up. My comparison suggests: [SIZE="3"]Mcharm ≈ Mtop * fine Mup ≈ Mcharm * fine / 4 Mstrange ≈ Mbottom * fine * 3 Mdown ≈ Mstrange * fine * 7...

I have done the computations of band structure of cobalt adsorbed graphene. In 3x3 supercell of cobalt adsorbed (one cobalt atom) graphne, there is opening of band that is gap between conduction and valence band but there is no gap in 4x4 supercell of cobalt adsorbed graphene. I've done this in...

I know I can define a sequence on a set ##X## as a function ##a:T\rightarrow{}X##, where ##T## is a countable totally ordered set. But what about series? Can I define a series as a function ##\omega{}:a\rightarrow{}A##, where ##A\in{}X##? Or is this too general to be a series? Do I need to...

Hello, Can anybody please explain me how magnetic monopoles, fine structure constant and string theory are related to each other? Thanks

I just start to read Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics by Arnold. And I am sort of very puzzled by all the notion. Firstly, if the universe is seen as a 4D affine space, why is time a mapping from R^4→R? I mean this kind of 4D contains time, right? Secondly, I thought the kernel of...

Hey all, As the title suggests, I've found some recurring structure on an SEM image and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. I took the image this morning. Here she is: http://i.imgur.com/nFuBsW2.png Here's a larger, more zoomed out and higher res version. A few more of...

Hello, I am preparing for the exam for my Matlab class, and have run into some confusion with Structure arrays. I have a hard time keeping all the concepts straight in my head. I am working on an old exam problem, where this is the structure array, which I will use as an example to demonstrate...

Although I am a newer publishing thread here, I notice this forums for a long time. And I hope someone could help me. I am doing some nuclear reaction research and want to shift myself to the nuclear structure area. I can find some references for some special topic. While I think I...

Hi all, I'm trying to compute the effect that a magnetic field has on the singlet and triplet states of positronium. I know that the positron has a charge and magnetic moment opposite that of the electron, so I'm tempted to write the interaction as: \vec{B} \cdot (\vec{M}_{1}+\vec{M}_{2})=...

In regards to the Lotus Elan from 1962, my book H-point says that Colin Chapman used the prop shaft tunnel as ''backbone'' to the body structure. Can someone please elaborate on this? Does this mean that the structure of the prop shaft tunnel acted like a stiffener for the entire body...

I am trying to figure out a method for using optical tweezers to manipulate individual atoms into new meta-material structures. I understand this would require a very complicated process. I thought of some general steps this process might use. This is roughly what I think it might require...

Hey PF! I was wondering if any of you were familiar with structure functions and how they relate to turbulence? Do you know of any good articles to research? Structure functions may be defined as $$S_{ij}(\vec{R}) = \mathbb{E} \Big[ \big( u_i(\vec{x}+\vec{R}) - u_i(\vec{x}) \big) \big(...

I saw this antenna on a residential rooftop yesterday (in the US). I'm guessing it is a over-the-air Digital TV antenna, but I don't recognize the vertical bow tie structure. The antenna is about half a meter tall. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm looking for a simple s.s crystal unit cell structure and can't find it anywhere. I understand that stainless steel is a very general word and takes many forms and has many different types, but isn't there a standard type that people use in the industry and ususlay talk about when they...

Hello again pf! i was wondering if any of you could help me with the intuition for the following structure function: $$S_{xy}(R) = \overline{\big[v_x (x + R) - v_x(x)\big] \big[v_y(x+R) - v_y(x) \big]}$$ where ##v_i## is the velocity in the ##i## direction, ##x## is distance, and ##R## is a...

I was looking at this problem. It says I should write appropriate resonance structures. But, even with resonance, I do not see how a carbon cannot fill its octet. Why does the carbon in the middle have a positive charge. Is that not unstable?

Hello, I am reading about the Western blot technique, and I am looking for clarification of the transfer step described in the wikipedia article and in this video walkthrough. It is not clear to me why the proteins should keep their shape needed for the probing step rather than breaking or...

Hi, I drew the lewis structure of SO2. The one with 0 formal charges gives me two double bonds. But, I see on the web that one single bond and another double bond is an acceptable resonance structure. What do they mean? Sulfur can expand its octet. Having 0 formal charge is much more...

I am very mixed-up with the terms perturbation, anisotropy and ripple. What is the relation or difference between them?

I'm an apprentice electrician taking night courses. My question isn't a specific mathematical problem. It's a query about a concept. Please let me know if there's a better way/place I can ask it. My text say that atoms can have a max of 32 electrons per shell, with 1-3 being ideal for...

Can anyone recommend some usufull links,pdf,... for information on large scale structure? I want to fully understand how in the cold dark matter model the the hierarchical formation of matter occurs and the role of the initial perturbations in the evolution of the universe. Thank you.
