AbstractWe used atom beam scattering (ABS), LEED and angle-resolved photo-electron spectroscopy (ARPES) to study bilayer films of Hg on Cu(001). In the surface temperature range of 180 to 330 K, the first Hg layer forms two ordered phases, a c(2×2) (with coverage=0.5 of Cu(001)) and a high density (partially commensurate) c(4×4) (coverage=0.62 ). ARPES data show that there is little or no dispersion of the 5d band of Hg. ABS data show that this layer is not flat, with in-registry Hg atoms lying about 0.15 below the not-in-registry Hg atoms. From ABS we find that the second layer forms a completely registered c(4times;4) phase. From ARPES we obtain that the second layer has an electronic structure, particularly the 5d levels, characteristic of bulk mercury.Preliminary results of calculations of the structure of the bilayer are given.

ABSTRACTThe growth, ordering, and energetics of Hg overlayers on Cu(O01) have been studied using atom beam scattering, LEED and angle-resolved photoemission. Two stable ordered phases have been identified: one phase is a c(2↑2) and the other phase is a higher density square lattice which has a coincidence c(4↑4) structure. A phase diagram has been determined using LEED and atom beam diffraction data for surface temperatures between 180 and 330 K. ABS data suggest out that there is a narrow coexistance region between these two phases. The isosteric heat of adsorption has been determined as a function of coverage.

It is widely acknowledged that urban form significantly affects urban thermal environment, which is a key element to adapt and mitigate extreme high temperature weather in high-density urban areas. However, few studies have discussed the impact of physical urban form features on the land surface temperature (LST) from a perspective of comprehensive urban spatial structures. This study used the ordinary least-squares regression (OLS) and random forest regression (RF) to distinguish the relative contributions of urban form metrics on LST at three observation scales. Results of this study indicate that more than 90% of the LST variations were explained by selected urban form metrics using RF. Effects of the magnitude and direction of urban form metrics on LST varied with the changes of seasons and observation scales. Overall, building morphology and urban ecological infrastructure had dominant effects on LST variations in high-density urban centers. Urban green space and water bodies demonstrated stronger cooling effects, especially in summer. Building density (BD) exhibited significant positive effects on LST, whereas the floor area ratio (FAR) showed a negative influence on LST. The results can be applied to investigate and implement urban thermal environment mitigation planning for city managers and planners.

The conditions for superfluidity or ferromagnetism in neutron stars are presented and discussed (but not derived). It is suggested that present estimates relating to these are in error and that the predictions made contradict at least one of three sets of nuclear physics data cited in the text. This is due to neglecting the action of the exclusion principle.A comparatively simple method for calculating the strength of nuclear forces in the presence of many-body effects is outlined. Some preliminary results are presented together with projected future developments.
