CANONICAL TRANSFORMATION AND THE PROPERTIES OF A MIXTURE OF FERMIONS AND BOSONS AT LOW TEMPERATURE
(University of Eldoret, 2021)Properties of free and interacting systems of bosons and fermions have been studied theoretically using canonical transformation. In the last few years (1995 to be exact), condensates have been obtained practically in the ... -
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN NUCLEON-NUCLEON INTERACTION, PAIRING ENERGY GAP AND PHASE SHIFT FOR IDENTICAL NUCLEONS IN NUCLEAR SYSTEMS.
(University of Eldoret, 2021)The correlation between nucleon-nucleon interactions 𝑉(𝑟) and the pairing energy gap Δ is studied theoretically. When two nuclear particles collide due to the interaction, they get scattered after approaching within a ... -
CRYSTALLIZATION OF HELIUM-3 AND NEUTRON MATTER FERMIONS IN CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS

E-OPTIMAL DESIGNS FOR SECOND-DEGREE KRONECKER
(2016-05-19)Many products are formed by mixing together two or more ingredients. For example, in building construction, concrete is formed by mixing sand, water and cement. Many practical problems are associated with investigation ... -
EFFECT OF LIMING ON LEVELS OF POLLUTANT HEAVY METALS IN
(2016-05-23)Soil contaminated with heavy metals from agricultural and industrial sources leads to unhealthy food. The metals enter the food chain and are consumed by humans. Phosphate fertilizers too contain undetermined amounts of ... -
EFFECTS OF COULOMB AND PAIRING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN NUCLEONS IN DETERMINING NUCLEAR STABILITY OF FINITE NUCLEI
(University of Eldoret, 2021)From time to time, several nuclear models have been proposed by various research groups to explain the properties of finite nuclei and large nuclear systems in nuclear physics and astrophysics. However, no single model ... -
EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELD ON THE VALUE OF SPECIFIC HEAT JUMP ON LITHIUM TITANIUM OXIDE
(2019-11-30)Superconductivity is an observable scientific fact exhibited by some materials at extremely low temperature approaching 0 K where their specific heat capacities (a thermodynamic bulk property) change as they transition to ... -
