The acoustic phonon dispersion curves of the hexagonal perovskite CsNiCl3 were measured at room temperature in the vicinity of the Gamma-point along the [0 0 1] and [1 1 0] directions. The derived velocity of sound values for the longitudinal and transvers ...
Previous experimental studies have allowed us to observe peculiar localization effects of excitons in GaN/AlGaN quantum wells grown by MBE, as well as efficient nonradiative inter-well carrier transfers. In this work, we use the envelope-function approxima ...
Pulsations in the fetal heart propagate through the precordial vein and the ductus venosus but are normally not transmitted into the umbilical vein. Pulsations in the umbilical vein do occur, however, in early pregnancy and in pathological conditions. Such ...
The computation of stationary optical spectra of mol. systems based on a wavepacket propagation on excited potential energy surfaces (PES) is extended to the condensed phase case in utilizing the d. matrix theory. As an example, a one-dimensional model is ...
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 ...
Longitudinal velocity measurements above a uniform dry lakebed were carried out to investigate the applicability of the random sweeping decorrelation hypothesis to thermally stratified turbulent flow. The higher order velocity structure functions of order ...
The F2 laser emission in Ne matrixes at 160.6 nm is reported for the first time. Its excitation spectrum in the 11-16 eV range has been recorded by means of tunable synchrotron radiation. Anomalous envelopes of vibrational progressions occurring in the gas ...
Our interest is centred on the very thin layers consisting of only one or a few monolayers of InAs. The optical transition energies, measured by photoluminescence spectroscopy, are compared with theoretical calculations obtained in envelope function approx ...
The intensity distributions in the overtones of resonance Raman spectra for I2 in liq. CCl4 and Xe are presented for several excitation energies in the bound part of the B 3P0u+ state. In liq. CCl4, the decrease in intensity with v" is monotonous and for ...
The feasibility of Thomson scattering to determine the beam velocity in a gyrotron has been analyzed and preliminary experiments to implement such a system on our 100 GHz quasi-optical gyrotron are reported. Although the project had to be abandoned due to ...
