Theory of stripes in quasi two dimensional rare-earth tritellurides (2006)
Yao, Hong, Robertson, John A., Kim, Eun-Ah, Kivelson, Steven A.
Even though the rare-earth tritellurides are tetragonal materials with a quasi two dimensional (2D) band structure, they have a "hidden" 1D character. The resultant near-perfect nesting of the Fermi...
Geng L.: A Unified framework for Utility based Measures for Mining Itemsets (2006)
A pattern is of utility to a person if its use by that person contributes to reaching a goal. Utility based measures use the utilities of the patterns to reflect the user’s goals. In this paper, we...
