Gauge Symmetry Breaking in Gauge Theories---In Search of Clarification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The paper investigates the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetries in gauge theories from a philosophical angle. Local gauge symmetry itself cannot break spontaneously in quantized gauge theories according to Elitzur's theorem---even though the notion ...

Microscopic Insights into Magnetic Warping and Time‐Reversal Symmetry Breaking in Topological Surface States of Rare‐Earth‐Doped Bi2Te3

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetic doping of the topological insulator Bi2Te3 with erbium adatoms induces out‐of‐plane magnetism and breaks time‐reversal symmetry, opening a Dirac gap and driving a Fermi surface transition from hexagonal to star‐of‐David geometry. Microscopy, spectroscopy, and magnetic dichroism reveal atomically controlled magnetic interactions that tailor the

Pulse evolution without wave breaking in a strongly dissipative-dispersive laser system

open access: yes, 2010
We report on pulse evolution without wave breaking in a strongly dissipative-dispersive laser system where pulses encounter significant amounts of positive and negative dispersions.

Resolving the Structural Duality of Graphene Grain Boundaries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Cantilever ncAFM resolves the atomic structure of grain boundaries in graphene, revealing coexisting stable and metastable types. Both contain pentagon/heptagon defects, but metastable GBs show irregular geometries. Modeling shows metastable GBs form under compression, exhibiting vertical corrugation, while stable GBs are flat.

Experimental investigation on wave roller area evolution in the surf zone

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
In the surf zone, breaking waves generate an air-entraining turbulent region ahead of the wave crest, known as the wave roller, which plays a crucial role in nearshore dynamics.

The Impact of Topographic Steepness on Tidal Dissipation at Bumpy Topography

open access: yesFluids, 2017
Breaking internal waves are an important contributor to mixing in the stratified ocean interior. We use two-dimensional, nonhydrostatic numerical simulations to examine the breaking of internal waves generated by tidal flow over sinusoidal bottom ...

Tsunamis: Non-Breaking and Breaking Solitary Wave Run-Up [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This study considers the run-up of non-breaking and breaking solitary waves on a smooth sloping beach. A non-linear theory and a numerical model solving the non-linear shallow water equations (NLSW) were developed to model this physical process.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles in Biomedicine: Advances and Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles offer unique properties like high surface area, tunable pores, and functionalization. They excel in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and stimuli‐responsive therapies, enabling targeted and controlled treatments. With roles in cancer therapy and diagnostics, their clinical translation requires addressing challenges in ...
