We perform two-dimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of a mildly relativistic shock propagating through an inhomogeneous medium. We show that the postshock region becomes turbulent owing to preshock density inhomogeneity, and the magnetic field is strongly amplified due to the stretching and folding of field lines in the turbulent velocity field. The amplified magnetic field evolves into a filamentary structure in two-dimensional simulations. The magnetic energy spectrum is flatter than the Kolmogorov spectrum and indicates that the so-called small-scale dynamo is occurring in the postshock region. We also find that the amplitude of magnetic-field amplification depends on the direction of the mean preshock magnetic field.

We present the first clear evidence of electron emission arising directly from a quantized two-dimensional electron channel from the InAs (110) surface covered by a few Cs atoms (≈ 0.01 Cs ML). Spectral features observed by photoemission spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation reveal discrete-energy electronic states resulting from quantization in the direction normal to the surface. The electron photoemission originates from the vicinities of [Formula: see text] points in the first and second surface Brillouin zones corresponding to the bottom of the conduction band. These findings are in agreement with self-consistent theoretical energy-level calculations using a jellium-like model.

We investigate the possibility of generalizing the differential renormalization of D. Z. Freedman, K. Johnson and J. I. Latorre in an invariant fashion to theories with infrared divergencies via an infrared [Formula: see text] operation. Two-dimensional σ models and the four-dimensional ɸ4-theory diagrams with exceptional momenta are used as examples, while dimensional renormalization serves as a test scheme for comparison. We write the basic differential identities of the method simultaneously in co-ordinate and momentum space, introducing two scales which remove ultraviolet and infrared singularities. A consistent set of Fourier-transformation formulae is derived. However, the values for tadpole-type Feynman integrals in higher orders of perturbation theory prove to be ambiguous, depending on the order of evaluation of the subgraphs. In two dimensions, even earlier than this ambiguity manifests itself, renormalization-group calculations based on the infrared extension of differential renormalization lead to incorrect results. We conclude that the procedure of extended differential renormalization does not perform the infrared [Formula: see text] operation in a self-consistent way.
