Electronic excitations: density-functional versus many-body Green's-function approaches

open access: yes, 2002
Electronic excitations lie at the origin of most of the commonly measured spectra. However, the first-principles computation of excited states requires a larger effort than ground-state calculations, which can be very efficiently carried out within ...

Green Synthesis of Multifunctional Carbon Dots with Antibacterial Activities

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
Carbon dots (CDs) were obtained from medicinal turmeric leaves (Curcuma longa) by a facile one-step hydrothermal method and evaluated for their bactericidal activities against two gram-negative; Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and two gram ...

String theories as the adiabatic limit of Yang-Mills theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We consider Yang-Mills theory with a matrix gauge group $G$ on a direct product manifold $M=\Sigma_2\times H^2$, where $\Sigma_2$ is a two-dimensional Lorentzian manifold and $H^2$ is a two-dimensional open disc with the boundary $S^1=\partial H^2$.

A green reform is not always green [PDF]

open access: yesTransportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 2013
This paper analyses a tax reform, explicitly conceived by policy makers to be climate-friendly, that partly replaces a high vehicle registration tax by road user charging and allows for differentiation of the remaining registration tax by fuel efficiency. A microeconomic framework is proposed to analyse such a reform.
