Using a first-principles approach, we study the vibrational properties of vitreous SiO2 which are measured in neutron-scattering experiments. We adopt a model structure consisting of corner-sharing tetrahedra, which was previously generated using first-pri ...
We briefly discuss some electronic and transport "anomalies" observed in superconducting perovskites. In particular we consider: (i) the complex electronic (and crystallographic) phase diagram, (ii) the symmetry of the gap with a special emphasis on the ev ...
The cross talk between holograms multiplexed with Walsh-Hadamard phase codes is analyzed. Each hologram is stored with a reference beam that consists of N phase-coded plane waves. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is calculated for a recording schedule for w ...
Brillouin scattering showing an unusual low temperature softening of some transverse modes in SrTiO3 had been reported previously. The earlier data, complemented by newer Brillouin results, and supplemented by high quality hyper Raman data on the soft mode ...
Raman spectroscopy has been used to measure phonons in GaAs v-groove quantum wire structures containing (001) and (111) GaAs/AlAs superlattice barrier regions. Resonance enhancement permits the identification of modes in different regions of the structure, ...
In this paper multigrid technique is adapted for solving standing one-dimensional wave equation with radiation boundary conditions. Solver, consisting of wave cycle and ray cycle, uses Gauss-Seidel and Kaczmarz relaxation sweeps and is aimed to work effici ...
A demonstration of the ability of digital holography to image and to measure spatial variations of the polarisation of an object wave with a single image acquisition is presented. This is achieved by recording a hologram with two reference beams presenting ...
The resonance Raman overtone progressions of I2 in liq. Xe and in CCl4 following excitation in the bound and continuum parts of the B state are discussed and compared with theor. simulations. The intensity distribution of the Raman overtones yields informa ...
We do not intend to give here a background knowledge on vacuum field Rabi splitting. The reader should refer to J.M. Raimond, T. Norris, H. Yokoyama and D.S. Citrin lecture notes. For the sake of completeness we simply remind the reader that the cavity qua ...
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 ...
