      We study the emergence of urban self-governance in the late medieval period. We focus on England after the Norman Conquest of 1066, building a novel comprehensive dataset of 554 medieval towns. During the Commercial ...

    • Shock response of periodic interpenetrating phase composites 

      Taylor, Spencer V; Gonzales, Manny; Cordero, Zachary C (AIP Publishing, 2022-11-22)
      In this work, we examine the macroscale and fine-scale shock responses of interpenetrating phase composites comprising a body-centered cubic steel lattice embedded in an aluminum matrix. Through plate impact simulations, ...

    • ℏ2 expansion of the transmission probability through a barrier 

      Pollak, Eli; Cao, Jianshu (AIP Publishing, 2022-08-19)
      Ninety years ago, Wigner derived the leading order expansion term in ℏ2 for the tunneling rate through a symmetric barrier. His derivation included two contributions: one came from the parabolic barrier, but a second term ...
