To close the building cycle and the building materials cycle by recycling CDW in high technical applications, the technical quality of stony materials must be improved. For this purpose, concrete rubbles and brick rubbles, the two major stony constituents of CDW, should be separated from each other. Based on the differences in density and content of Fe-2O-3 between the two materials, a wet method of jigging and a dry method of magnetic separation are effective,tested.展开更多

The CDW insulating state is suppressed by a pressure of 1 GPa, which is considered to be a quantum critical point. Neither at 0 - 0.5 nor 2 GPa but only around this critical point in pressure, field-induced phases appear from 0.2 T through 10 T, where Rxy is almost constant and Rxx is very low. These phenomena are achieved when the magnetic field is applied along the least conducting axis. The behaviors are consistent with a kind of Quantum Hall Effect (QHE). The field-induce phase accompanied by the QHE might be the field-induced CDW (FICDW) similar to that of FISDW, observed in (TMTSF)2X salts. This paper presents the latest result of the Hall effects reviewing the history of the authors’ work on this material from preliminary to the latest ones.展开更多

Our problem applies wave-functionals to a driven sine-Gordon system. We apply the tunneling Hamiltonian to charge density wave (CDW) transport problems where we consider tunneling among states that are wave-functionals of a scalar quantum field, i.e. derived I-E curves that match Zenier curves used to fit data experimentally with wave-functionals congruent with the false vacuum hypothesis. The open question is whether the coefficients picked in both wave-functionals and the magnitude of the coefficients of the driven sine-Gordon physical system are picked by topological charge arguments that appear to assign values consistent with the false vacuum hypothesis. Crucial results by Fred Cooper et al. allow a mature quantum foam interpretation of false vacuum nucleation for further refinement of our wave-functional results. In doing so, we give credence to topological arguments as a first order phase transition in CDW I-E curves.展开更多
