Statistical Physics Modeling of Disorder in Metallic Alloys The majority of metallic alloys in use are structurally disordered. Their thermophysical properties evolve on exposure to thermal, chemical, or mechanical forcing; the changes are often irreversible. A first-principle method for modeling of disorder in metallic alloys will be pre ... more |

Measurements with the CMS experiment at the HEPHY While the LHC commences operations in 2018 that will conclude its 2nd running period, it is a good time to review the status the important questions it set out to answer.
The HEPHY in Vienna has made contributions to some of them, both within the standard model and beyond, and u ... more |

Attosecond electron dynamics in solids and layered systems The generation of isolated attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) allowed to trace electronic processes on the attosecond time-scale [1]. Photoelectrons generated by laser based attosecond XUV-pulses are exposed to a synchronized field from infrared (IR) laser pulses. ... more |

Exhaustivity of Answers to Questions. Computational Models of Interpretation in Linguistics Consider the simple dialogue in (1). Experimental data show that around 70% of the times A will understand B as suggesting that John danced and nobody other than John did. This is called an exhaustivity inference. This may be taken as surprising because B did not use the stronger ... more |

Quantum Field Theory after Revolution So far Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the basis of our understanding of Nature at the fundamental level. Dramatic changes occurred in QFT after the discovery of supersymmetry. Deep and often unexpected insights lighten our way. I give a broad review of gauge field theory from its ... more |

Crystal plasticity as a mesoscopic theory of dislocations Plastic deformation of crystals is mostly due to the motion of dislocations. Dislocations are line-like lattice defects, which may move when subject to stresses. Dislocations interact via long range stress fields. Because crystals possess very high densities of dislocations it se ... more |

Ultrathin and Conformal Polymer Films for Organic Surfaces and Devices Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), as practiced by the semiconductor industry, typically utilizes high powers and high temperatures to drive non-selective chemistry. These aggressive conditions are incompatible with reactants possessing fragile organic functional groups. However, u ... more |

Porous silicon: A versatile material for microelectronic devices and energy applications Historically, electronics was the first discipline that exploited the properties of porous silicon (PSi) in the 1970’s. Two decades later, a huge development of the studies about PSi has been observed since an efficient photoluminescence of this material was discovered. During ... more |
