Synchrotron light is usually treated with a rather complicated electrodynamics formalism. However. its basic properties can be easily understood with a simple approach based on the classical emission of electromagnetic radiation by an accelerated charge in ...
The hetero-Diels-Alder addition of sulfur dioxide to (E)- and (Z)-4-(fluoromethylidene)-3-methylene-2,3-dihydro-naphthalene follows the endo Alder rule. The first example of a crystalline sultine has been obtained. In agreement with high level quantum calc ...
We present a semiclassical technique that relies on replacing complicated classical manifold structure with simpler manifolds, which are then evaluated by the usual semiclassical rules. Under circumstances where the original manifold structure gives poor o ...
The coherent dynamics of cavity-polaritons are investigated using the four-wave-mixing technique. A series of experiments on four samples operating in both the weak and strong coupling regimes were performed to study the influence of strong coupling on the ...
We find using Monte Carlo simulations of the spin-1/2 2D square lattice nearest neighbour quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet that the high-energy peak locations at (pi, 0) and (pi/2, pi/2) differ by about 6%, (pi/2, pi/2) being the highest This is a deviat ...
We study spin interactions between two moving D-branes using the Green-Schwarz formalism of boundary states. We focus our attention on the leading terms for small velocities v, of the form v(4-n)/r(7-P+n) (v(2-n)/r(3-p+n)) for p-p (p-p + 4) systems, with 1 ...
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 ...
The adiabatic approximation is used to describe the electron states of weakly-one-dimensional quantum wires. A clear order is evidenced in the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon mediated transition rates with respect to the quantum numbers of the confined st ...
Quantum many-body states of up to four excitons are studied in small parallelepipedal quantum dots with only two nondegenerate electronic levels in the conduction and in the valence bands. Only one type of hole is considered. We find the set of good quantu ...
We develop a quantum mechanical model for the interaction of excitons in a microcavity embedded quantum well with a short resonant laser pulse. The model assumes full in-plane coherence. A Gaussian distribution of exciton slates is included in order to tak ...
