Some aspects of jump-defects in the quantum sine-Gordon model (2005)
Journal Article
Bowcock, P., Corrigan, E., & Zambon, C. (2005). Some aspects of jump-defects in the quantum sine-Gordon model. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005(08), Article 023. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2005/08/023

The classical sine-Gordon model permits integrable discontinuities, or jump-defects, where the conditions relating the fields on either side of a defect are Bäcklund transformations frozen at the defect location. The purpose of this article is to exp... Read More about Some aspects of jump-defects in the quantum sine-Gordon model.

First-principles calculations of 2x2 reconstructions of GaN(0001) surfaces involving N, Al, Ga, In, and as atoms (2005)
Journal Article
Timon, V., Brand, S., Clark, S., Gibson, M., & Abram, R. (2005). First-principles calculations of 2x2 reconstructions of GaN(0001) surfaces involving N, Al, Ga, In, and as atoms. Physical review B, 72(3), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.72.035327

The ab initio studies presented here employed a pseudopotential-plane-wave method in order to obtain the minimum-energy configurations of various 22 GaN0001 surfaces involving N, Al, Ga, In, and As atoms. Comparison of the various possible reconstruc... Read More about First-principles calculations of 2x2 reconstructions of GaN(0001) surfaces involving N, Al, Ga, In, and as atoms.

Controlled single photon emission from a single trapped two-level atom (2005)
Journal Article
Darquie, B., Jones, M., Dingjan, J., Beugnon, J., Bergamini, S., Sortais, Y., …Grangier, P. (2005). Controlled single photon emission from a single trapped two-level atom. Science, 309(5733), 454-456. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1113394

By illuminating an individual rubidium atom stored in a tight optical tweezer with short resonant light pulses, we created an efficient triggered source of single photons with a well-defined polarization. The measured intensity correlation of the emi... Read More about Controlled single photon emission from a single trapped two-level atom.

A synthetic route to size-controlled fcc and fct FePt nanoparticles (2005)
Journal Article
Howard, L., Nguyen, H., Giblin, S., Tanner, B., Terry, I., Hughes, A., & Evans, J. (2005). A synthetic route to size-controlled fcc and fct FePt nanoparticles. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 127(29), 10140-10141. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja051669e

We report here a new synthetic route to FePt nanoparticles using a stoichiometric mixture of Na2Fe(CO)4 and Pt(acac)2. The structure of FePt nanoparticles, their size, chemical composition, and magnetic property can be controlled by various synthetic...

Discovery of very high energy gamma rays associated with an x-ray binary (2005)
Journal Article
Aharonian, F., Akhperjanian, A., Aye, K., Bazer-Bachi, A., Beilicke, M., Benbow, W., …Wagner, S. (2005). Discovery of very high energy gamma rays associated with an x-ray binary. Science, 309(5735), 746-749. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1113764

X-ray binaries are composed of a normal star in orbit around a neutron star or stellar-mass black hole. Radio and x-ray observations have led to the presumption that some x-ray binaries called microquasars behave as scaled-down active galactic nuclei...
