Near-Surface Plasma-Magnetohydrodynamic Control of a High-Speed Model in Xenon

The study demonstrates the feasibility of controlling a high-speed flow through the combined action of gas-discharge plasma generated by the current from the external source and an external magnetic field in the frontal near-surface region of an aerodynamic body. Flow control is...

Generalized Nonlinear Bayesian Pulsar Timing with ENTERPRISE

Abstract We use the Bayesian methods in the ENTERPRISE package to examine the fully general parameterization of pulsar timing models in tandem with noise. We investigate four pulsars, PSRs J1600–3053, J2043+1711, J0740+6620, and J1640+2224, through the lens of Bayesian timing. We...

Residual stress gradient in a thin film within the dislocation pileup theory

A model for predicting the residual stress gradient in a thin film segment is developed on the basis of the theory of dislocation pileups. The initial shear stress within the film is relaxed via the formation of a pileup of screw dislocations against the impenetrable film–substra...

On Thermal Hall Effect in Boson Systems

We theoretically discuss the thermal Hall effect in boson systems keeping in mind possible applications to magnetically ordered insulators with skyrmion lattice ground state. The magnon spectrum of such systems may undergo a topological transition upon the variation of magnetic f...
