Rotationally resolved microwave and ultraviolet spectra of jet-cooled diphenylmethane (DPM) and DPM-d(12) have been obtained in S-0, S-1, and S-2 electronic states using Fourier-transform microwave and UV laser/molecular beam spectrometers. The S-0 and S-1 ...
An approximate analytical approach is developed for the calculation of the surface plasmon frequency of a system of interacting nanospheres for arbitrary values of interparticle distances. In addition to having a simple and physically clear form, the final ...
We demonstrate the control of polarization and dipole moment in semiconductor nanostructures, through nanoscale engineering of shape and composition. Rodlike nanostructures, elongated along the growth direction, are obtained by molecular beam epitaxial gro ...
Spangolite, Cu6Al(SO4)(OH)12Cl·3H2O, is a hydrated layered copper sulfate mineral. The Cu2+ ions of each layer form a systematically depleted triangular lattice which approximates a maple leaf lattice. We present details of the crystal structure, which sug ...
We have studied experimentally the nonequilibrium currents (NECs) induced by sweeping either the magnetic field B or the carrier density nS of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES). The gated 2DES resided in a modulation-doped GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs heterostru ...
We present here the analysis of experimental Stark effect measurements made using photofragment quantum beat spectroscopy on the 14,0->, 15,0->, 18,0+> and 14,0-> 12 > vibrational states of H2O [Callegari, A.; et al. Science 2002, 297, 993.]. To link the m ...
This thesis reports on the magnetism of low coordinated Fe and Co atoms in different chemical and electronic environments. The objective of this research was to contribute to the fundamental understanding of the magnetic properties, such as magneto-crystal ...
In the Kondo effect, a localized magnetic moment is screened by forming a correlated electron system with the surrounding conduction electrons of a non-magnetic host1. Spin S D 1=2 Kondo systems have been investigated extensively in theory and experiments, ...
The magnetic and structural properties of epitaxial Fe films grown on Si(111) are investigated by polarized neutron re. ectometry (PNR) at room temperature. The influence of different types of interfaces, Fe/Si, Fe/FeSi2 and Au/Fe on the magnetic propertie ...
A new mechanism has recently been proposed that generates a radial flux of parallel momentum in toroidal plasmas. Namely, by considering up-down asymmetric flux surfaces, the symmetry following the magnetic field can be broken and an additional contributio ...
