Polarized fluorescence spectra were recorded in the vicinity of the Se and Br K edges on crystals of the selenated protein aldose reductase in complex with a brominated inhibitor molecule. The X-ray absorption, refraction and resonant scattering tensors as ...
We develop a Maxwell-Schrodinger formalism in order to describe the radiative interaction mechanism between semiconductor quantum dots. We solve the Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic field coupled to the polarization field of a quantum dot ensemble ...
This paper describes the working principle of a DC magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) micropump that can be operated at high DC current densities (J) in 75-μm-deep microfluidic channels without introducing gas bubbles into the pumping channel. The main design featu ...
The origin of a recently reported peculiar phenomenon-polarization reversal against the applied electric field in ferroelectric thin films [M. Aplanalp and P. Gunter, Ferroelectrics 258, 3 (2001), T. Morita and Y. Cho, Appl. Phys. Lett. 84, 257 (2004)]-has ...
We study the electronic structure and the dielectric permittivity of ultrathin oxide layers on Si(I 00) substrates. By considering two different Si(l 00)-SiO2 interface models, we first show that the electronic structure in the interfacial oxide differs fr ...
Performance differences in the growing number of electromagnetic (EM) sensing systems designed to predict soil water content from dielectric permittivity estimates suggests the need for a standardized characterization methodology. The objectives of this st ...
We present experimental results on the transverse modulation instability of an elliptical beam propagating in a bulk nonlinear Kerr medium, and the formation and self-organization of spatial solitons. We have observed the emergence of order, self organizat ...
The preparation and dielectric properties of potassium niobate tantalate (KTN) have been investigated with the aim of exploring the material's potential for ferroelectric tunable applications. The samples were prepared both by conventional sintering in air ...
Strain-field measurements and in situ polarized light microscopy have been used to evidence a hysteretic, irreversible electric-field-induced transition to a quasimonodomain rhombohedral phase in 111-oriented, pseudo-orthorhombic PZN-8PT [0.92Pb(Zn1/3 ...
The collisionless plasma of the Versatile Toroidal Facility experiment [J. Egedal, A. Fasoli, M. Porkolab, and D. Tarkowski, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 71, 3351 (2000)], applied to the study of magnetic reconnection, exhibits a global eigenmode response during whi ...
