Binding energies of Λ, Λc, and Λb baryons in [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] are estimated taking into account the corrections due to the centre-of-mass motion and also the Coulomb correction in [Formula: see text]. Both these corrections turn out to be quite important. Just bound states for [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] are obtained for Λc–N and Λb–N interactions, which are weaker than the Λ–N interaction by nearly 55% and 30%, respectively.

We assess the partition function and ionization degree of magnetized hydrogen atoms at thermodynamic equilibrium for a wide range of field intensities, B ≈ 105–1012 G. Evaluations include fitting formulae for an arbitrary number of binding energies, the coupling between the internal atomic structure and the center-of-mass motion across the magnetic field, and the formation of the so-called decentered states (bound states with the electron shifted from the Coulomb well). Non-ideal gas effects are treated within the occupational probability method. We also present general mathematical expressions for the bound state correspondence between the limits of zero-field and high-field. This let us evaluate the atomic partition function in a continuous way from the Zeeman perturbative regime to very strong fields. Results are shown for conditions found in atmospheres of magnetic white dwarf (MWD) stars, with temperatures T ≈ 5000–80 000 K and densities ρ ≈ 10−12–10−3 g cm3. Our evaluations show a marked reduction of the gas ionization due to the magnetic field in the atmospheres of strong MWDs. We also found that decentered states could be present in the atmospheres of currently known hot MWDs, giving a significant contribution to the partition function in the strongest magnetized atmospheres.

A comparative study of the unreacted and reacted uniaxially strained Pt(111) and the layered (111)-Pt/Ni/Pt3Ni and (111)-Pt/Ni/PtNi3 surfaces has been performed using density functional theory (DFT). An in-depth study of the unreacted surfaces has been performed to evaluate the importance of geometric, magnetic and ligand effects in determining the reactivity of these different Pt surfaces. An analysis of the binding energies of oxygen and hydrogen over the high-symmetry binding positions of all surfaces has been performed. The study has shown that O and H tend to bind more strongly to the (111)-Pt/Ni/Pt3Ni surface and less strongly to the (111)-Pt/Ni/PtNi3 surface compared to binding on the equivalently strained Pt(111) surfaces. Changes in the surface magnetisation of the surfaces overlaying the ferromagnetic alloys during adsorption are discussed, as well as the behaviour of the d-band centre across all surfaces, to evaluate the potential mechanisms for these differences in binding. An accompanying comparison of the accessible density functionals has been included to estimate the error in the computational binding energies.

Abstract We study a heavy-heavy-light three-body system confined to one space dimension in the regime where an excited state in the heavy-light subsystems becomes weakly bound. The associated two-body system is characterized by (i) the structure of the weakly-bound excited heavy-light state and (ii) the presence of deeply-bound heavy-light states. The consequences of these aspects for the behavior of the three-body system are analyzed. We find a strong indication for universal behavior of both three-body binding energies and wave functions for different weakly-bound excited states in the heavy-light subsystems.

Ground reaction forces produced on the blocks determine an athlete’s centre of mass motion during the sprint start, which is crucial to sprint performance. This study aimed to understand how force waveforms are associated with better sprint start performance. Fifty-seven sprinters (from junior to world elite) performed a series of block starts during which the ground reaction forces produced by the legs and arms were separately measured. Statistical parametric mapping (linear regression) revealed specific phases of these waveforms where forces were associated with average horizontal external power. Better performances were achieved by producing higher forces and directing the force vector more horizontally during the initial parts of the block phase (17–34% and 5–37%, respectively). During the mid-push (around the time of rear block exit: ∼54% of the block push), magnitudes of front block force differentiated performers, but orientation did not. Consequently, the ability to sustain high forces during the transition from bilateral to unilateral pushing was a performance-differentiating factor. Better athletes also exhibited a higher ratio of forces on the front block in the latter parts of unilateral pushing (81–92% of the block push), which seemed to allow these athletes to exit the blocks with lower centre of mass projection angles. Training should reflect these kinetic requirements, but also include technique-based aspects to increase both force production and orientation capacities. Specific training focused on enhancing anteroposterior force production during the transition between double- to single-leg propulsion could be beneficial for overall sprint start performance.

We report on our recent self-consistent calculations of K− nuclear quasi-bound states using K− optical potentials derived from chirally motivated meson-baryon coupled channels models [1, 2]. The K− single-nucleon potentials were supplemented by a phenomenological K− multi-nucleon interaction term introduced to achieve good fits to K− atom data. We demonstrate a substantial impact of the K− multi-nucleon absorption on the widths of K− nuclear states. If such states ever exist in nuclear many-body systems, their widths are excessively large to allow observation.
