There Are Infinitely Many Rational Diophantine Sextuples

Saturday March 18th, 2017 Rafael Mrđen 0

A rational Diophantine m-tuple is a set of m non zero rationals such that the product of any two of them increased by 1 is a perfect square. The first rational Diophantine quadruple was found by Diophantus, while Euler proved that there are infinitely many rational Diophantine quintuples. In 1999, […]

Splashing transients of 2D plasmons launched by swift electrons

Friday March 3rd, 2017 Hrvoje Buljan 0

Launching of plasmons by swift electrons has long been used in electron energy–loss spectroscopy (EELS) to investigate the plasmonic properties of ultrathin, or two-dimensional (2D), electron systems. However, the question of how a swift electron generates plasmons in space and time has never been answered. We address this issue by […]
