The evolution of the interface and interaction of h-BN and graphene/h-BN (Gr/h-BN) on Cu(111)–Ni and Ni(111)–Cu surface alloys versus the Ni/Cu atomic percentage on the alloy surface were comparatively studied by DFT-D2, including critical long-range van der Waals forces.

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) with self-conjugated equations with spinor wave functions for fermion fields is considered. In the low order of the perturbation theory, matrix elements of some of QED physical processes are calculated. The final results coincide with cross-sections calculated in the standard QED. The self-energy of an electron and amplitudes of processes associated with determination of the anomalous magnetic moment of an electron and Lamb shift are calculated. These results agree with the results in the standard QED. Distinctive feature of the developed theory is the fact that only states with positive energies are present in the intermediate virtual states in the calculations of the electron self-energy, anomalous magnetic moment of an electron and Lamb shift. Besides, in equations, masses of particles and antiparticles have the opposite signs.

We discuss recent progress in various problems related to bound-state quantum electrodynamics: the bound-electron g factor, two-loop self-energy corrections, and the laser-dressed Lamb shift. The progress relies on various advances in the bound-state formalism, including ideas inspired by effective field theories such as nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. Radiative corrections in dynamical processes represent a promising field for further investigations. PACS Nos.: 31.15.–p, 12.20.Ds

It is shown, for the first time to our knowledge, that the standard Lamb shift formula for non-S-states of hydrogenic atoms can be derived by applying the methods of nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics and without using the Dirac equation and the second quantization for the electron.

The problem of long range forces between hadrons is re-examined. Without color degrees of freedom the confining potentials lead to unacceptably large van der Waals forces. The color degrees of freedom are investigated in the case of mesons taking into account both of the color singlet states of four constituents. The consistency of the color scheme requires the existence of four-quark bound states as well as two separate mesons and puts still restrictions on the confining potentials.
