The Green function variational approximation: Significance of physical constraints [PDF]
We present a calculation of the spectral properties of a single charge doped at a Cu($3d$) site of the Cu-F plane in KCuF$_{3}$. The problem is treated by generating the equations of motion for the Green's function by means of subsequent Dyson expansions

Physicochemical study of 3,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid intercalated into hydrotalcite-like compound by ion exchanged method [PDF]
The intercalation of herbicide, 3,4-dicholorophenoxyacetic acid (3,4D), into zinc-aluminium-layered double hydroxide (LDH) for the formation of a new nanocomposite ZADX, was accomplished via anion exchange method.

Accurate first-derivative nonadiabatic couplings for the H3 system [PDF]
A conical intersection exists between the ground (1 2 A[prime]) and the first-excited (2 2A[prime]) electronic potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the H3 system for C3v geometries.

Systematic realization of double-zero-index phononic crystals with hard inclusions
A systematic process is described to realize double-zero-index phononic crystals with Dirac-like points experimentally. This type of crystal normally has softer inclusion material than its surroundings medium, allowing mapping into a zero-index medium ...
