Flying through the plasmasphere to optimize low-energy ion measurements

The Juice flyby of Earth in August 2024 gave us the first chance to evaluate the performance of the Jovian Plasma Dynamics and Composition analyzer (JDC) in environments similar to those expected at Jupiter. JDC is one of the sensors belonging to the Particle Environment Package...

Effects of nonlocal interactions on s- and d-wave superconducting correlations in the extended Hubbard model

Abstract We investigate the influence of nonlocal interactions on superconducting correlations within the extended Hubbard model. In addition to the on-site Coulomb interaction and nearest-neighbor hopping, we include next-nearest-neighbor hopping together with several physically...
