Field - Effect Switching in Nano-Graphite Films

The effect of electrical resistivity switching in nanographite films is described. In difference with cases published elsewhere the switching in nanographite films occurs from stable high conductive to metastable low conductive state. Critical current of switching varies in the range 10-500 mA and can be increased up to values appropriate for using of nanographite samples in power grids as contact-less current limiters and circuit breakers. The possible mechanisms of switching phenomenon in nanographite films are discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Three-point correlation function of a scalar mixed by an almost smooth random velocity field

We demonstrate that if the exponent $\gamma$ that measures non-smoothness of the velocity field is small then the isotropic zero modes of the scalar's triple correlation function have the scaling exponents proportional to $\sqrt{\gamma}$. Therefore, zero modes are subleading with respect to the forced solution that has normal scaling with the exponent $\gamma$.Comment: 13 pages, RevTeX 3.

Stable dipole solitons and soliton complexes in the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with periodically modulated nonlinearity

We develop a general classification of the infinite number of families of solitons and soliton complexes in the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii/nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a nonlinear lattice pseudopotential, i.e., periodically modulated coefficient in front of the cubic term, which takes both positive and negative local values. This model finds direct implementations in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates and nonlinear optics. The most essential finding is the existence of two branches of dipole solitons (DSs), which feature an antisymmetric shape, essentially squeezed into a single cell of the nonlinear lattice. This soliton species was not previously considered in nonlinear lattices. We demonstrate that one branch of the DS family (namely, the one which obeys the Vakhitov-Kolokolov criterion) is stable, while unstable DSs spontaneously transform into stable fundamental solitons (FSs). The results are obtained in numerical and approximate analytical forms, the latter based on the variational approximation. Some stable bound states of FSs are found too.Comment: 12 pages, Chaos, in pres

Recovery of a quarkonium system from experimental data

For confining potentials of the form q(r)=r+p(r), where p(r) decays rapidly and is smooth for r>0, it is proved that q(r) can be uniquely recovered from the data {E_j,s_j}, where E_j are the bound states energies and s_j are the values of u'_j(0), and u_j(r) are the normalized eigenfunctions of the problem -u_j" +q(r)u_j=E_ju_j, r>0, u_j(0)=0, ||u_j||=1, where the norm is L^2(0, \infty) norm. An algorithm is given for recovery of p(r) from few experimental data
