We present new solutions of higher dimensional Einstein's equations with a cosmological constant that localize gravity on branes which are transverse to Ricci-flat manifolds or to homogeneous spaces with topologically non-trivial solutions of gauge field e ...
In this PhD thesis we deal with two mathematical problems arising from quantum mechanics. We consider a spinless non relativistic quantum particle whose configuration space is a two dimensional surface S. We also suppose that the particle feels the effect ...
The electronic states in the conduction and valence bands of quantum wires are studied by means of the effective mass hamiltonian and the Luttinger hamiltonian. The band mixing effects due to the wire geometry are fully taken into account by an accurate fi ...
We investigate the possibility of generating sizeable dipole radiations in relativistic theories of gravity. Optimal parameters to observe their effects through the orbital period decay of binary star systems are discussed. Constraints on gravitational cou ...
X-rays, the key ingredient of radiology, are still primarily produced with the mechanism discovered by Rontgen over one century ago. A different approach, however, is becoming increasingly important: the use of synchrotron sources based on fast-moving elec ...
In this Thesis we study several aspects of potential scattering in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. In the first part, we study the concept of time delay. More precisely, after an elementary introduction to the theory (chapter I), we clarify in chapter ...
Time-resolved up-conversion measurements of secondary emission from multiple quantum wells under resonant femtosecond excitation are reported for GaAs multiple quantum wells with qualitatively different interface disorder. The transient resonant Rayleigh s ...
We study a class of linear hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equations in bounded domains, that includes the wave equation and the telegraph equation, driven by Gaussian noise that is white in time but not in space. We give necessary and sufficien ...
A new method for the spin-state-selective coherence transfer is introduced based on the principles of adiabatic cross polarization. The method is called single-transition adiabatic cross polarization (ST-ACP). It was analyzed theor. for a scalar-coupled 2- ...
We use photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation experiments with and without magnetic field to study the electronic properties of InxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum wells grown on vicinal (001) substrates. We analyze samples of a wide range of In contents ( ...
