Stereolithographic modeling of the costochondral complex by computer tomography for the laser thermoplastics of children’s chests
A technique for the stereolithographic manufacturing of plastic casts of the costochondral complex is developed using computer tomography scans of real patients for preoperative simulations of the laser thermo...

Spontaneous and persistent currents in mesoscopic Aharonov-Bohm loops: Static properties and coherent dynamic behavior in crossed electric and magnetic fields
Mesoscopic or macromolecular conducting rings with a fixed number of electrons are shown to support persistent currents due to the Aharonov-Bohm flux, and the “spontaneous” persistent currents without the flux...

Quantum computational gates with radiation free couplings
We examine a generic three level mechanism of quantum computation in which all fundamental single and double qubit quantum logic gates are operating under the effect of adiabatically controllable static (radia...

Superconductivity in Ultrasmall Metallic Particles
Recent single electron transport experiments in nanometer size samples renewed the question about the lower limits of the size of superconductors, and the crossover from superconducting to normal state. In ord...

Persistent Current in a Mesoscopic Ring with Strongly Coupled Polarons
We investigate influence of the electron-phonon interaction on persistent current in a mesoscopic ring threaded by a Aharonov-Bohm flux Φ. We find that all thermodynamic quantities are still periodic in Φ with...

Non-Decaying Currents in Normal Metals
In a present paper, we review cases when stable, time-independent currents may flow in normal metals, both single-connected or multiple-connected, in presence of magnetic field or the field of vector potential...

Nonlinear Phenomena in Metallic Contacts
We review and extend theoretical approaches to nonlinear and nonequilibrium effects in metallic microcontacts ranging in their dimension from the atomic to macroscopic sizes. Atomic contacts are shown to quantize...

Aharonov-Bohm Effect Induced by Light
The quantum interferometry of normal metallic loops based on the Aharonov-Bohm effect is usually applied to measurements at low temperatures in the case of static or slowly time-varying magnetic fields (e.g., ...

Persistent Current and Persistent Charge in Nanostructures
Quantúm effects in the interaction of electromagnetic field with small, but not microscopically small, metallic particles and rings are investigated. The aspects of mesoscopic systems related to time-independe...

Pair susceptibility and mode propagation in superconductors: A microscopic approach
We derive the full microscopic set of equations governing small oscillations: (1) in the magnitude of the superconducting order parameter (the Schmid mode), (2) the phase of the order parameter in a neutral su...

Point-contact spectroscopy of electron-phonon interaction in normal-metal single crystals
Recent studies of the phonon spectra of metals using “point-contact spectroscopy” (PCS) are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the possibility of studying the electron-phonon interaction in single crystals....

Theory of the tunnel effect in a superconductor
The tunnel hamiltonian is used to show that the tunnel current in a contact between two normal or superconducting metals is expressed utilizing the densities of the states near the Fermi surface. The formula i...
