  • Flow equations in arbitrary signature 
    Sabra, Wafic A. (Elsevier B.V., 2022)
    We discuss general bosonic configurations of four-dimensional N=2 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets in (t,s) space-time. The supergravity theories with Euclidean and neutral signature are described by the so-called ...

    Alexeev, A. V.; Maltseva, Diana V.; Ivanov, Viktor A.; Klushin, Leonid I.; Skvortsov, Aleksander M. (American Institute of Physics Inc., 2015)
    We study force-extension curves of a single semiflexible chain consisting of several rigid rods connected by flexible spacers. The atomic force microscopy and laser optical or magnetic tweezers apparatus stretching these ...
  • Formation of WO3 by remote plasma assisted oxidation of tungsten thin films 
    Mohtar, Abeer Al; Kassem, Wassim; Tabbal, Malek; Roumié, Mohamad (Elsevier B.V., 2016)
    In this work, we have investigated the formation of WO3 by remote plasma oxidation of pulsed laser deposited tungsten thin films. The effects of experimental parameters, such as pressure, temperature and duration on the ...
  • Generalized lock-in detection for interferometry: application to phase sensitive spectroscopy and near-field nanoscopy 
    Mohtar, Abeer Al; Vaillant, Julien; Sedaghat, Zohreh; Kazan, Michel; Joly, Lilian; Stoeffler, Clara; Cousin, Julien; Khoury, A.; Bruyant, Aurélien (Optical Society of America (OSA), 2014)
    A generalized lock-in detection method is proposed to extract amplitude and phase from optical interferometers when an arbitrary periodic phase or frequency modulation is used. The actual modulation function is used to ...
  • Geometry and the quantum: basics 
    Chamseddine, Ali H.; Connes, Alain; Mukhanov, Viatcheslav F. (Springer Verlag, 2014)
    Abstract: Motivated by the construction of spectral manifolds in noncommutative geometry, we introduce a higher degree Heisenberg commutation relation involving the Dirac operator and the Feynman slash of scalar fields. ...
  • Ghost free mimetic massive gravity 
    Chamseddine, Ali H.; Mukhanov, Viatcheslav F. (Springer Verlag, 2018)
    The mass of the graviton can be generated using a Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism with four scalar fields. We show that when one of these fields is costrained as in mimetic gravity, the massive gravity obtained is ghost free ...
  • Grand unification in the spectral Pati-Salam model 
    Chamseddine, Ali H.; Connes, Alain; van Suijlekom, Walter Daniël (Springer Verlag, 2015)
    Abstract: We analyze the running at one-loop of the gauge couplings in the spectral Pati-Salam model that was derived in the framework of noncommutative geometry. There are a few different scenarios for the scalar particle ...
  • Graphene-based polymer composites with ultra-high in-plane thermal conductivity: A comparison study between optothermal Raman spectroscopy and laser flash method 
    Tarhini, Ali A.; Tehrani-Bagha, A. R.; Kazan, Michel (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2020)
    We developed a simple solution mixing and molding process for the incorporation of graphene nano-flakes (GNFs) in polymer films. Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic ...
  • Hamiltonian formulation of ghost free mimetic massive gravity 
    Malaeb, O.; Saghir, Chireen A. (Springer New York LLC, 2019)
    We present the hamiltonian formulation of the Ghost Free Mimetic Massive Gravity theory. The linearized theory is studied and the Hamitlonian equations of motion are analyzed. Poisson brackets are computed and closure is ...
  • Hamiltonian formulation of mimetic gravity 
    Malaeb, O. (American Physical Society, 2015)
    The Hamiltonian formulation of mimetic gravity is formulated. Although there are two more equations than those of general relativity, these are proved to be the constraint equation and the conservation of the energy-momentum ...
  • Harmonicity and anharmonicity of phonon and surface phonon-polariton in high symmetry directions in wurtzite AlN 
    Karakachian, Hrag; Kazan, Michel (American Institute of Physics Inc., 2017)
    We report on the potential of self-nucleated AlN single crystals as tunable near-field infrared sources. A self-nucleated AlN crystal was grown with appropriate care to ensure minimal contact with crucible walls or other ...
  • Hypersymplectic geometry and supersymmetric solutions in (t,s) 5D supergravity 
    Sabra, Wafic A. (American Physical Society, 2021)
    Relying on the method of spinorial geometry, purely bosonic supersymmetric solutions in N=2, five-dimensional supergravity theories coupled to vector multiplets in all space-Time signatures are found. Explicit examples of ...
  • Impact of magnetic fields on Population III star formation 
    Saad, Cynthia R.; Bromm, Volker; El-Eid, Mounib F. (Oxford University Press, 2022)
    The theory of the formation of the first stars in the Universe, the so-called Population III (Pop III), has until now largely neglected the impact of magnetic fields. Complementing a series of recent studies of the ...
  • Impact of neutrino properties and dark matter on the primordial Lithium production 
    Makki, Tahani R.; El-Eid, Mounib F.; Mathews, Grant J. (World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2019)
    The light elements and their isotopes were produced during standard big bang nucleosynthesis (SBBN) during the first minutes after the creation of the universe. Comparing the calculated abundances of these light species ...
  • Implications of the complex singlet field for noncommutative geometry model 
    Karimi, Hosein (Springer Verlag, 2017)
    We consider a complex singlet scalar in the spectral action approach to the standard model. It is shown that there is a range of initial values at the unification scale which is able to produce Higgs and top quark masses ...
  • Industrializing the Arab world: a speculative case study 
    Zahlan, Antoine B. (Routledge, 2014)
    Some of the challenges facing Arab countries could be solved if their economies were industrialized. They have made much progress in some fields, but have failed so far to industrialize. While this is obviously a complicated ...
  • Inhomogeneous dark energy 
    Chamseddine, Ali H.; Mukhanov, Viatcheslav F. (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2016)
    We modify Einstein General Relativity by adding non-dynamical scalar fields to account simultaneously for both dark matter and dark energy. The dark energy in this case can be distributed in-homogeneously even within horizon ...
  • Interaction between confined phonons and photons in periodic silicon resonators 
    Iskandar, A.; Gwiazda, Agnieszka; Younes, Joan; Kazan, Michel; Bruyant, Aurélien; Tabbal, Malek; Lérondel, Gilles (American Physical Society, 2018)
    In this paper, we demonstrate that phonons and photons of different momenta can be confined and interact with each other within the same nanostructure. The interaction between confined phonons and confined photons in silicon ...

    We studied the compression and interpenetration properties of two opposing monodisperse polymer brushes under external load by analytical theory and by a numerical self-consistent field (SCF) approach. Analytical expressions ...
