Quartz-crystal microbalance studies of the velocity dependence of interfacial friction

“…The peak voltages applied to the crystal ranged from 40 to 120 mV. According to the theoretical work of Kanazawa: 17,18 ''A useful rule of thumb would be to know that a 0.75 peak volt signal applied to an AT-cut quartz resonator having a Q of 100 000 gives rise to a 1000 Å displacement at its fundamental resonance. The displacement scales proportionately with applied voltage and with Q, and is independent of the resonant frequency.…”

Electronic State and Magnetic Susceptibility in Orbitally Degenerate (J=5/2) Periodic Anderson Model

“…Another interesting feature of the orbitally degenerate systems is the existence of the Van-Vleck susceptibility χ V , which is brought about by magnetic interband excitation. [1][2][3][4] χ V should bring about large residual magnetic susceptibility in many Kondo insulators (CeNiSn, Ce 3 Bi 4 Pt 3 , etc), [5] or in superconducting compounds below T c (UPt 3 , UBe 13 , etc). Thus, orbital freedom causes various nontrivial phenomena in HF compounds, and should be studied in earnest.…”

Introduction to microwave background polarization

“…If the amplitude ratio depends on scale, the coherent acoustic oscillations could be modified, but fine tuning would be required to wash them out completely. Multi-field inflation models generically produce both isocurvature and isentropic perturbations (Kofman andLinde 1987, Mukhanov andSteinhardt 1998) but the resulting microwave background power spectra are just beginning to be studied in detail (Kanazawa et al 1998).…”
