What is Dielectric confinement effect?. or could you advise me literature about this?

Thank you.
 
dielectric constant (ε) of semiconductor can be changed by deposition on high (or low) ε substrate.
==>
Dielectric confinement is effective reduction of the dielectric constant due to the penetration of electric field into barrier medium with a small dielectric constant.

original paper:
Keldysh, L.V.: Pis’ma Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 29, 716 (1979). JETPLett. 29, 658, 1979

and very nice prezentation:

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
