Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) yields clear evidence of spectroscopic Kondo scales in heavy fermions. In YbInCu4 and YbAgCu4 RIXS probes the Yb2+ component of the hybrid ground state and the temperature dependence of the Yb 4f occupation. We re ...
A new procedure of X-ray line profile analysis based on the dislocation model of strain anisotropy has been applied. The dislocation densities and the subgrain size-distributions in a MANET steel are investigated in the normal condition and after cyclic de ...
The damping rate of the n = 1 toroidal Alfven eigenmodes (TAE) mode in Ohmic-heated JET plasmas has been measured and compared with the prediction of the kinetic NOVA-K code, which includes electron and ion Landau damping of the global shear-Alfven wave fi ...
MnPS3 is a quasi-2D S = 5/2 antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice. Using an energy integrating neutron scattering technique, we have measured the structure factor S(k) of the instantaneous magnetic fluctuations. The temperature dependence of the correlati ...
We have studied the effect of disorder on the radiative properties of semiconductor quantum wires by time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. The dependence of the radiative lifetimes is measured over a temperature range extending from 8 to 150 K. At ...
We present experimental data showing a significant dependence of light absorption on temperature in photorefractive LiNbO3:Fe crystals. The results are successfully explained by assuming that the widths of the Fe2+ absorption bands in the visible and in th ...
The present paper proposes a model of relaxer ferroelectrics, which describes the polarization response of these materials in terms of vibration of the interphase boundary between the polar regions and nonpolar matrix. The model is formulated and is applie ...
We present low temperature photocurrent (PC) spectra of ordered and disordered GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices (SLs). The investigated disordered SLs were designed to provide both localized and extended states. Our results show a dramatic difference between the ...
A thermodynamic theory is used to calculate the dielectric properties of epitaxial thin films grown on cubic substrates imposing biaxial tension on the film prototypic cubic state. For such "tensile" substrates, the theory shows that, in a conventional pla ...
The coherent dynamics of cavity-polaritons are investigated using the four-wave-mixing technique. A series of experiments on four samples operating in both the weak and strong coupling regimes were performed to study the influence of strong coupling on the ...
