Relativistic aspects of rotational motion of celestial bodies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Relativistic modelling of rotational motion of extended bodies represents one of the most complicated problems of Applied Relativity. The relativistic reference systems of IAU (2000) give a suitable theoretical framework for such a modelling. Recent developments in the post-Newtonian theory of Earth rotation in the limit of rigidly rotating multipoles ...

Globally integrated measurements of the Earth's visible spectral albedo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We report spectroscopic observations of the earthshine reflected from the Moon. By applying our photometry methodology to spectroscopy, we were able to precisely determine the Earth's reflectance, and its variation as a function of wavelength through a ...

Fibrous Pb(II)‐Based Coordination Polymer Operable as a Photocatalyst and Electrocatalyst for High‐Rate, Selective CO2‐to‐Formate Conversion

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A coordination polymer [Pb(tadt)]n prepared by a microwave‐assisted solvothermal method selectively reduces CO2 into formate under visible light with a high apparent quantum yield of ≈25% at 400 nm. It can function as a pre‐catalyst, along with conductive Ketjen Black, to form an active PbCO3/Pb3(CO3)2(OH)2 mixture that exhibits a high Faradaic ...

Atmospheric dynamics of Earth-like tidally locked aquaplanets [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Adv. Model. Earth Syst., 2010, Vol. 2, Art. #13, 17 pp, 2010
We present simulations of atmospheres of Earth-like aquaplanets that are tidally locked to their star, that is, planets whose orbital period is equal to the rotation period about their spin axis, so that one side always faces the star and the other side is always dark.

Evidence of Long‐Range Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya Interaction at Ferrimagnetic Insulator/Nonmagnetic Metal Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that in sputter‐deposited Tb3Fe5O12 (TbIG)/nonmagnetic metal (NM) heterostructures, the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya Interaction (DMI) originates at the TbIG/NM interface. Furthermore, measurements suggest a significant interfacial DMI arising from a second non‐local interface, created by inserting a Cu spacer layer between

Physical Model of the Earth’s Magnetic Field

open access: yesVestnik Permskogo Universiteta: Seriâ Geologiâ, 2018
The article considers the feasibility of generation inside the Earth the electric current, which is the source of its magnetic field. The analysis of the existing kinematic models of electric current generation in the Earth's core is presented.

The Frontiers of Aqueous Zinc–Iodine Batteries: A Comprehensive Review on Mechanisms, Optimization, and Industrial Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review provides an in‐depth understanding of all theoretical reaction mechanisms to date concerning zinc–iodine batteries. It revisits the inherent issues and solutions of zinc–iodine batteries from the perspective of industrial application. By integrating existing examples of energy storage applications, it identifies the challenges faced on the ...

Very Slow Rotation of Earth's Inner Core From 1971 to 1974

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
The rate that Earth's inner core rotates relative to the mantle and crust has been debated for decades. Nonrotational processes, including internal deformation and flow in the outer core, have also been proposed to explain observed seismic changes.

Convection in the Earth's core driven by lateral variations in the core-mantle boundary heat flux [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Moving core fluid maintains an isothermal core-mantle boundary (CMB), so lateral variations in the CMB heat flow result from mantle convection. Such variations will drive thermal winds, even if the top of the core is stably stratified.
