 New Zealand's size and isolation can stimulate new science / Yock, Philip It is conventionally thought that New Zealand's distance from the large, northern hemisphere centres of learning, and our relatively small population and wealth, are detrimental to the contribution we can make to the advancement of scientific knowledge. Here the reverse point of view is argued.. arXiv:1610.06518.- 2016 - 9 p. External link: Preprint

 Properties of Surface Plasmon Polaritons on lossy materials: Lifetimes, periods and excitation conditions / Derrien, Thibault J -Y ; Krüger, Jörg ; Bonse, Jörn The possibility to excite Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) at the interface between two media depends on the optical properties of both media and geometrical aspects. Specific conditions allowing the coupling of light with a plasmon-active interface must be satisfied. [...] arXiv:1610.06442.- 2016 - 9 p. - Published in : J.

 Conical-Shaped Titania Nanotubes for Optimized Light Management in DSSCs Reach Back-side Illumination Efficiencies > 8% / So, Seulgi ; Kriesch, Arian ; Peschel, Ulf ; Schmuki, Patrik In the present work, we introduce the anodic growth of conical shaped TiO2 nanotube arrays. These titania nanocones provide a scaffold for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) structures with significantly improved photon management, providing an optimized absorption profile compared with conventional cylindrical nanotube arrays.

 Towards a new generalized space expansion dynamics applied to the rotation of galaxies and Tully Fisher law / Fleuret, Jacques Up to now, the rotational velocities of galaxies are not clearly understood and the experimental Tully Fisher rule, linking the total galactic mass to the fourth power of the velocity, through an acceleration coefficient of about 10-10 m/s2 has not found a deep theoretical explanation. Tentative proposals (MOND theory of a modified Newton s law and extraneous dark matter) do not bring a definite clarification. [...] arXiv:1610.06414.- 2016 - Published in : Astrophys.

 Dual atomic interferometer with a tunable point of minimum magnetic sensitivity / Hamzeloui, Saeed ; Martínez, Daniel ; Abediyeh, Vahideh ; Arias, Nieves ; Gomez, Eduardo ; Valenzuela, Víctor Manuel Atomic interferometers are often affected by magnetic field fluctuations. Using the clock transition at zero magnetic field minimizes the effect of these fluctuations. [...] arXiv:1610.06271.- 2016 - 7 p. - Published in : Phys. Rev.

 One-dimensional Ising model with multispin interactions / Turban, L We study the spin-$1/2$ Ising chain with multispin interactions $K$ involving the product of $m$ successive spins, for general values of $m$. Using a change of spin variables the zero-field partition function of a finite chain is obtained for free and periodic boundary conditions (BC) and we calculate the two-spin correlation function.

 Records for the number of distinct sites visited by a random walk on the fully-connected lattice / Turban, L We consider a random walk on the fully-connected lattice with $N$ sites and study the time evolution of the number of distinct sites $s$ visited by the walker on a subset with $n$ sites. A record value $v$ is obtained for $s$ at a record time $t$ when the walker visits a site of the subset for the first time. [...] arXiv:1505.04616.- 2016 - 26 p. - Published in : J. Phys.

 Probability distribution of the number of distinct sites visited by a random walk on the finite-size fully-connected lattice / Turban, L The probability distribution of the number $s$ of distinct sites visited up to time $t$ by a random walk on the fully-connected lattice with $N$ sites is first obtained by solving the eigenvalue problem associated with the discrete master equation. Then, using generating function techniques, we compute the joint probability distribution of $s$ and $r$, where $r$ is the number of sites visited only once up to time $t$.

 Influence of the vector interaction and an external magnetic field on the isentropes near the chiral critical end point / Costa, Pedro The location of the critical end point (CEP) and the isentropic trajectories in the QCD phase diagram are investigated. We use the (2+1) Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model with the Polyakov loop coupling for different scenarios, namely by imposing zero strange quark density, which is the case in the ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and $\beta$-equilibrium.

 QCD and $\gamma\,\gamma$ studies at FCC-ee / Skands, Peter ; d'Enterria, David The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is a post-LHC project aiming at searches for physics beyond the SM in a new 80--100~km tunnel at CERN. Running in its first phase as a very-high-luminosity electron-positron collider (FCC-ee), it will provide unique possibilities for indirect searches of new phenomena through high-precision tests of the SM.
