- Tantalum and tungsten, direct neighbors in the periodic table, exhibit a very similar electronic structure. Compared with tungsten, however, the bands of tantalum are less occupied due to the lack of one electron. As a consequence, an exceptional Dirac-cone-like surface state, observed below the Fermi level for W(110), may appear above the Fermi level for Ta(110). To prove this conjecture, we investigate the unoccupied surface electronic structure of Ta(110) by spin- and angle-resolved inverse photoemission and electronic-structure calculations. Surprisingly, our results do not show the expected Dirac-cone-like surface state. Instead, spin-polarized unoccupied surface bands are identified, which have no equivalent in W(110). These findings are explained by the difference in the energetic positions of the surface states relative to the bulk states for Ta(110) and W(110) caused by the different lattice constants.

- The present article relates to a new transom stern form for high speed planing hulls. To depress the intensive transom wave known as a "rooster tail", an innovative form of transom stern is originated. The new form of the transom stern is introduced by cutting the bottom of the hull near the transom stern. To verify the capability of the modified transom stern, a three dimensional RANS solver is used. It is demonstrated that by using the new transom stern shape, the intensive wave behind the transom will be substantially reduced in the range of the parameters under investigation. In the meantime, it is expected that the radar signature will also be decreased. To study the effect of the modified transom at various Froude numbers and different trim angles, a set of numerical experiments are conducted. Three Froude numbers and four trim angles are considered and it is observed that the cutted transom stern has a significant effect on the reduction of height and length (height reduction up to 61% and length reduction up to 63%) of the rooster tail. Additionally, the accuracy of the numerical solutions is validated by comparing them against the results of empirical formula existing in the literature.

- The influence of spin-orbit interaction on an occupied surface state at Ta(110) is investigated with spin- and angle-resolved photoemission and electronic structure calculations. The surface state appears in a symmetry gap at a binding energy of 0.45 eV at Γ¯ and exhibits a free-electron-like E(k) dispersion with an effective mass m∗/me of about -1.35 along Γ¯H¯. Photoemission results for excitation with s- and p-polarized light confirm the predicted dz2-type symmetry of the state close to Γ¯. Spin-resolved data for finite k reveal a pure Rashba-type spin texture with a Rashba parameter of 0.063±0.007eVÅ. These findings clearly prove a sizable impact of spin-orbit coupling on the dz2 surface state and resolve a longstanding disagreement on this issue.
