Silicon micromachined electromagnetic microactuators for rigid disk drives [PDF]
It is projected that by the year 2001, the disk drive industry will be shipping products with track density on the order of 25,000 tracks-per-inch, which would require a servo bandwidth of at least 3 kHz. This paper presents initial fabrication results of an industry and government supported research project at Caltech and UCLA to develop piggyback ...

Rigidity of fragile matter: A gauge theoretic perspective [PDF]
The process of jamming creates fragile matter, whose rheology is distinct from solids or liquids. The solidity of fragile matter emerges from the applied stress itself.

Dual gauge field theory of quantum liquid crystals in two dimensions [PDF]
We present a self-contained review of the theory of dislocation-mediated quantum melting at zero temperature in two spatial dimensions. The theory describes the liquid-crystalline phases with spatial symmetries in between a quantum crystalline solid and ...

Rigid Sphere Model of Elementary Particles and the Electromagnetic Field [PDF]
As is well known, the isospin has been introduced in an intimate relation with the electromagnetic :field. An attempt is made to derive this relation based upon the rigid sphere model of elementary particles, starting from the :five dimensional theory proposed by Kaluza and Klein.

Deconfining the rotational Goldstone mode: the superconducting nematic liquid crystal in 2+1D [PDF]
The Goldstone theorem states that there should be a massless mode for each spontaneously broken symmetry generator. There is no such rotational mode in crystals, however superconducting quantum nematics should carry rotational Goldstone modes.

Time-Dependent Scalar Fields in Modified Gravities in a Stationary Spacetime [PDF]
Most no-hair theorems involve the assumption that the scalar field is independent of time. Recently in [Phys. Rev. D90 (2014) 041501(R)] the existence of time-dependent scalar hair outside a stationary black hole in general relativity was ruled out.

A real Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction [PDF]
Many condensed matter systems are such that their collective excitations at low energies can be described by fields satisfying equations of motion formally indistinguishable from those of relativistic field theory.

Electrodynamics of Abrikosov vortices: the Field Theoretical Formulation [PDF]
Electrodynamic phenomena related to vortices in superconductors have been studied since their prediction by Abrikosov, and seem to hold no fundamental mysteries. However, most of the effects are treated separately, with no guiding principle.

Introduction to the Neoclassical Interpretation: Quantum Steampunk [PDF]
In a previous paper we outlined a series of historical touchpoints between classical aether theories and modern theoretical physics which showed a shared conceptual lineage for the modern tools and methods of the most common interpretations and fluid ...

Bekenstein bounds and inequalities between size, charge, angular momentum and energy for bodies
Bekenstein bounds for the entropy of a body imply an universal inequality between size, energy, angular momentum and charge. We prove this inequality in Electromagnetism.
