Isotope and chemical analyses of the GRIP ice core from Summit, central Greenland, reveal that climate in Greenland during the last interglacial period was characterized by a series of severe cold periods, which began extremely rapidly and lasted from deca ...
The authors present a new experimental method for measurement of collision-free infrared radiative lifetimes for single quantum states of a vibrationally excited sample. This method provides a more direct route to the infrared Einstein A coefficients than ...
We study the dynamics of the charged and neutral excitons in a modulation-doped GaAs quantum well by time-resolved photoluminescence under a resonant excitation. The radiative lifetime of the charged exciton is found to be surprisingly short, 60 ps. This t ...
We have studied the effect of disorder on the radiative properties of semiconductor quantum wires by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. The dependence of the radiative lifetimes is measured over a temperature range extending from 8 to 150 K. At ...
H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation studies of thiophenol-capped CdS nanocrystals are presented. The transverse and longitudinal relaxation times were investigated as a function of nanocrystal radius, and the transverse relaxation time ...
A series of anomalously cold and warm winters which occurred in Switzerland during the 15-year period from 1979 to 1993 has been analyzed in detail in terms of temperature minima. The warm winters between 1988-1992 were particularly marked in the Alps, whe ...
Previous research on the direct effect of atmospheric aerosols on climate has estimated the average radiative forcing per unit sulfate mass, and has used this average to calculate the magnitude and spatial distribution of sulfate forcing. In this paper, we ...
An analysis of correlation coefficients for climatological data covering the period 1901-1994 or 1931-1994 for six locations in Switzerland has been made in order to highlight the relationships between temperature, precipitation (rain and snow) and snow in ...
