The dynamics following the photoexcitation of Na and Li atoms located on the surface of helium nanodroplets has been investigated in a joint experimental and theoretical study. Photoelectron spectroscopy has revealed that excitation of the alkali atoms via ...
This paper discusses nanomagnetic structures enabling the manipulation of propagating spin waves. We address in particular how domain walls, or more generally speaking inhomogeneous spin configurations, enhance the control of spin-wave transmission and the ...
We perform broadband spin-wave spectroscopy on thin submicrometer-wide Ni80Fe20 magnetic wires. Intentionally, we apply the in-plane magnetic field under an angle that is a few degrees off with respect to the in-plane hard-axis direction. In an intermediat ...
In the impregnation process, when pressure is applied, the dry fiber preform is first compressed and then unloads as the matrix flows within the pores. It has been shown earlier that for glass mat-reinforced thermoplastic (GMT) materials, the time to provi ...
The sign of the theoretically predicted steric asymmetry S in rotational inelastic state resolved molecule–atom collisions is questioned. It is shown that the sign of the T-matrix obtained on a basis of non-oriented rotational states of the molecule depend ...
The non-relativistic quantum dynamics of nuclei and electrons is solved within the framework of quantum hydrodynamics using the adiabatic representation of the electronic states. An on-the-fly trajectory-based nonadiabatic molecular dynamics algorithm is d ...
The sensitivity of the unmeasured state variables to the measurements strongly affects the rate of convergence of a state estimation algorithm. To overcome potential observability problems, the approach has been to identify the model parameters so as to re ...
The vortex lattice (VL) in the high-κ superconductor YBa2Cu3O7, at 2 K and with the magnetic field parallel to the crystal c axis, undergoes a sequence of transitions between different structures as a function of applied magnetic field. However, from struc ...
In semiconductor quantum wells embedded in a high finesse microcavity, excitons, which are bound electron-hole systems, strongly couple to photons, forming mixed quasi-particles called polaritons. Polaritons can be coherently excited by an incident laser f ...
Granular media composed of elongated particles rearrange and order vertically upon vertical vibration. We perform pseudo-two-dimensional discrete element model simulations and show that this phenomenon takes place also with no help from vertical walls. We ...
