This work is dedicated to the study of Dynamical Systems, depending on a slowly varying parameter. It contains, in particular, a detailed analysis of memory effects, such as hysteresis, which frequently appear in systems involving several time scales. In a ...
Using the highly localized current of electrons tunneling through a double barrier scanning tunneling microscope junction, we excite luminescence from a selected C60 mol. in the surface layer of fullerene nanocrystals grown on an ultrathin NaCl film on Au( ...
We consider the transition probability for two-level quantum-mechanical systems in the adiabatic limit when the Hamiltonian is analytic. We give a general formula for the leading term of the transition probability when it is governed by N complex eigenvalu ...
A fully two-dimensional study of the electronic sub-bands in crescent-shaped quantum wires is presented. The confinement energies and the wave functions are compared by means of an aspect ratio to those produced by the adiabatic approximation. Guidelines f ...
High resoln. anion photodetachment spectra are presented for the methoxide anion and its fully deuterated counterpart. The spectra were obtained with slow electron velocity-map imaging. Improved electron affinities are detd. for CH3O as 1.5690 +- 0.0019 eV ...
The second law of thermodynamics is often expressed as the fact that the entropy of an isolated system increases when a spontaneous change takes place. While this statement is true, a more general formulation can easily be presented to students. Starting f ...
The electron states of weakly-one-dimensional quantum wires are computed using the adiabatic approximation in the framework of the k . p theory and the envelope-function approximation. The computed transition rates of electrons from one confined state to a ...
A weakly-onedimensional heterostructure is a quantum wire structure tailored so that the carriers are tightly confined in a direction, weakly confined in another and free to move in the third. The electronic bound states are computed using the envelope fun ...
The absorption spectrum of H2O in Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and ice matrixes in the region of the 1st ~A 1B1 continuum is reported. Substantial blue gas-to-matrix shifts are obsd. for the max., which increase with decreasing matrix cage size. The absorption threshold ...
