Harmonic and anharmonic quantum-mechanical oscillators in noninteger dimensions

Trifce Sandev, Irina Petreska e Ervin K. Lenzi

Physics Letters A – Volume: 378; Issue: 3; Pages: 109–116; DOI: 10.1016/j.physleta.2013.10.048

We present new results for time-independent solutions for a Schrödinger equation with noninteger dimension by considering different, harmonic and anharmonic, forms for the potential energy. The solutions obtained for these potentials are exact and expressed in terms of […]

The purpose of the present work was to investigate the possible inhibitory effect of […]

Investigating the interplay between mechanisms of anomalous diffusion via fractional Brownian walks on a comb-like structure

Haroldo V. Ribeiro, Angel A. Tateishi, Luiz G. Andrade Alves, Rafael S. Zola e Ervin K. Lenzi

New Journal of Physics – Volume: 16; Article Number: 093050; DOI: 10.1088/1367-2630/16/9/093050

The comb model is a simplified description for anomalous diffusion under geometric constraints. It represents particles spreading out in a two-dimensional space where the motions in the x-direction are allowed […]

Light-Directing Omnidirectional Circularly Polarized Reflection from Liquid-Crystal Droplets

Jing Fan, Yannian Li, Hari Krishna Bisoyi, Rafael S. Zola, Deng-ke Yang, Timothy J. Bunning, David A. Weitz e Quan Li
