A new two-pole approximation, which allows to describe the transition from an insulating state to a metallic one at increase of bandwidth, and also the observable in some compounds transition from a metalic state to an insulating one with increasin...
Assuming that damped Lyman-alpha(DLA) systems are galactic discs, we calculate the corresponding evolution of metal abundances. We use detailed multi-zone models of galactic chemical evolution (reproducing successfully the observed properties of di...
A 2D metallic phononic crystal (PnC), which is fabricated by drilling periodic holes in a suspended niobium (Nb) film, is repeatedly cooled and warmed in the temperature range of 2--300 K. During the first five temperature cycles, the resistance of t...
the low hardness and high ductility of single crystals of silver. Silver has a brilliant, white, metallic luster that can take a high polish, and which
We make the first report that a metallic pyrochlore oxide \Cd2Re2O7, exhibits type II superconductivity at 1.1 K. The pyrochlore oxide is known to be a geometrical frustrated system, which includes the tetrahedral network of magnetic ions. A large...
We have obtained HST-NICMOS observations of five of M31's most metal rich globular clusters: G1, G170, G174, G177 & G280. For the two clusters farthest from the nucleus we statistically subtract the field population and estimate metallicities using...
We present relation of the mean I-band brightness of red clump stars on metallicity. Red clump stars were proposed to be a very attractive standard candle for distance determination. The calibration is based on 284 nearby red giant stars whose high...
In this paper, continuation of Gil de Paz et al. (Paper I), we derive the main properties of the stellar populations in the Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy Mrk86. Ages, stellar masses, metallicites and burst strengths have been obtained using the combina...
All 25 Lick/IDS spectral indices have been computed for the integrated light of simple stellar populations over broad ranges of age and metallicity and with effects from horizontal-branch stars fully implemented. For Balmer indices a significant re...
We use a series of high-resolution simulations of a `Milky-Way' halo coupled to semi-analytic methods to study the formation of our own Galaxy and of its stellar halo. The physical properties of our model Milky Way, as well as the age and metallici...
The parameters Phi and N of Miedema are quoted precise to the second decimal place and are considered very accurate after adjustment in their values to correctly predict the signs of the heats of formation of more than 500 metallic binary systems....
Schneider et al. (2020) presented the discovery of WISEA J041451.67-585456.7 and WISEA J181006.18-101000.5, which appear to be the first examples of extreme T-type subdwarfs (esdTs; metallicity <= -1 dex, T_eff <= 1400 K). Here we present new discove...
We report the results of a spectroscopic survey of candidate T subdwarfs identified by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 program. Near-infrared spectra of 31 sources with red $J-W2$ colors and large $J$-band reduced proper motions show varying signatures...
This note presents theoretical color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and metallicity evolution for Galactic multi-population models coupled to stellar evolution models for systems undergoing stripping and re-accretion of ambient material, called ``open''...
Single-molecule junctions - nanoscale systems where a molecule is connected to metallic electrodes - offer a unique platform for studying charge, spin and energy transport in non-equilibrium many-body quantum systems, with few parallels in other area...
We propose a model for the description of the transport properties of metallic films on a large scale of slab thickness. This model is based on solving the linearized Boltzmann equation in relaxation-time approximation using {\it ab initio} calcula...
A review is given of the possibilities for the study of the kinematics and metallicities of the old populations in galaxies of the Local Group using SALT/PFIS observations of RR Lyrae variables....
