Stationary Ballistic 'V' States for Preferred Motions of Many Particles
We use the discrete kinetic theory with the free-orientation parameter being
fixed () to derive the macroscopic velocity field for many particles
flowing through a microdomain. Our results resemble qualitatively other
hydrodynamical solutions. The V-shaped velocity field changes as the dominant
physical parameter (Knudsen number) varies. We also briefly discuss the
possible mechanism due to the entropy production along the boundaries.Comment: 1999-Works; two figure
Comments on "Microscale flow visualization"
We make comments on the presentation of Sinton's paper (Microfluidics and
Nanofluidics {\bf 1}: 2, 2004) about the microscale flow visualization since
the effects of the roughness along the microfabricated wall upon the current
macroflow visualization methods could be significant and cannot be neglected in
microdomain and even nanodomain.Comment: 3 page
Possible Pressure Effect for Superconductors
We make an estimate of the possible range of induced by
high-pressure effects in post-metallic superconductors by using the theory of
{\it extended irreversible/reversible thermodynamics} and Pippard's length
scale. The relationship between the increment of the superconducting
temperature and the increase of the pressure is parabolic.Comment: 6 pages; 1999-March result
Possible Negative Pressure States in the Evolution of the Universe
Hydrodynamic derivation of the entrainment of matter induced by a surface
elastic wave propagating along the flexible vacuum-matter interface is
conducted by considering the nonlinear coupling between the interface and the
rarefaction effect. The critical reflux values associated with the product of
the second-order (unit) body forcing and the Reynolds number (representing the
viscous dissipations) decrease as the Knudsen number (representing the
rarefaction measure) increases from zero to 0.1. We obtained the critical
bounds for matter-freezed or zero-volume-flow-rate states corresponding to
specific Reynolds numbers (ratio of wave inertia and viscous dissipation
effects) and wave numbers which might be linked to the evolution of the
Universe. Our results also show that for positive evolution of the matter (the
maximum speed of the matter (gas) appears at the center-line) there might be
existence of negative pressure.Comment: 4 Figures in tota
Stability of Quantum Fluids : Wavy Interface Effect
A numerical investigation for the stability of the incompressible slip flow
of normal quantum fluids (above the critical phase transition temperature)
inside a microslab where surface acoustic waves propagate along the walls is
presented. Governing equations and associated slip velocity and wavy interface
boundary conditions for the flow of normal fluids confined between elastic wavy
interfaces are obtained. The numerical approach is an extension (with a complex
matrix pre-conditioning) of the spectral method. We found that the critical
Reynolds number ( or the critical velocity) decreases significantly
once the slip velocity and wavy interface effects are present and the latter is
dominated ( mainly depends on the wavy interfaces).Comment: 4 Figures; 2004-Jan work
Comments on "Evidence for Quantized Displacement in Macroscopic Nanomechanical Oscillators"

Note on the 8-Knot
We define some physical variables associated with the traversing sequences of
electrons along the orbit which is a 2D projection of 8-knot. The
configuration is regular but the resulting contributions, which are related to
the physical variable, of those combinations from all the possible states to
the fixed spatial sites show certain irregular behavior near the over- or
under-crossing points of this knot. The possible explanation for this kind of
direct geometric consequences is made to linked to the physical insight.Comment: One Table and Two Figures; 1999-Feb. complete
Resonant States of Wave Propagation in Disordered System of Bosonic Particles
We demonstrate the effects of an induced disorder (or a free-orientation :
which is related to the relative direction of scattering of particles
w.r.t. to the normal of the propagating plane-wave front) upon the possible
resonance of the plane (sound) wave propagating in Bose gases by using the
quantum kinetic equations. We firstly present the diverse dispersion relations
obtained by the relevant Pauli-blocking parameter (which describes the Bose
particles when is positive) and the free-orientation and then,
based on the acoustic analog, address the possible resonant states.Comment: 7 Figures; 2004-March complete

Superconductivity in the Infinite Layer Compound CaCuO2
Superconductivity in the electric field-effect doped infinite layer compound
CaCuO2 is considered. It is argued that in the superconducting CuO2 layer, next
to the insulating Al2O3 overlayer, the coordination of the Cu2+ ions by oxygens
is pyramidal rather than square planar. This view stems from existing NEXAFS
and the analysis of HRETM results, as well as chemical considerations, and is
discussed mainly for the hole doped but also the electron doped region of the
phase diagramm.Comment: 3 page
