Geometric aspects of charged black holes in Palatini theories
2015
Charged black holes in gravity theories in the Palatini formalism present a number of unique properties. Their innermost structure is topologically nontrivial, representing a wormhole supported by a sourceless electric flux. For certain values of their effective mass and charge curvature divergences may be absent, and their event horizon may also disappear yielding a remnant. We give an overview of the mathematical derivation of these solutions and discuss their geodesic structure and other geometric properties.
Energy levels of a quantum ring in a lateral electric field
2002
Abstract The electronic states of a semiconductor quantum ring (QR) under an applied lateral electric field are theoretically investigated and compared with those of a quantum disk of the same size. The eigenstates and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian are obtained from a direct matrix diagonalization scheme. Numerical calculations are performed for a hard-wall confinement potential and the electronic states are obtained as a function of the electric field and the ratio r2/r1, where r2 (r1) is the outer (inner) radius of the ring. The effects of decreasing symmetry and mixing on the energy levels and wave functions due to the applied electric field are also studied. The direct optical absorpti…
Flux of a Vector Field
2012
In this chapter we concentrate on aspects of vector calculus. A common physical application of this theory is the fluid flow problem of calculating the amount of fluid passing through a permeable surface. The abstract generalization of this leads us to the flux of a vector field through a regular 2-surface in \(\mathbb{R}^3\). More precisely, let the vector field F in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) represent the velocity vector field of a fluid. We immerse a permeable surface S in that fluid, and we are interested in the amount of fluid flow across the surface S per unit time. This is the flux integral of the vector field F across the surface S
