The reactivity of methane (CH4) on Pt(110)-(1×2) has been studied by quantum state-resolved surface reactivity measurements. Ground state reaction probabilities, S0(v=0) ~ S0(laser-off), as well as state-resolved reaction probabilities S0(2v3), for CH4 exc ...
In the present thesis, we delve into different extremal and algebraic problems arising from combinatorial geometry. Specifically, we consider the following problems. For any integer n≥3, we define e(n) to be the minimum positive integer such that an ...
Method for processing a circular light field comprising the step of receiving or storing a circular light field matrix, wherein the circular light field matrix comprises pixel data for different circumferential angles and for different incidence angles, wh ...
Increased life expectancy goes hand in hand with a higher incidence of age-related diseases that affect the nervous and metabolic systems, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. These complex diseases are a product of the com ...
The dynamics of optical switching in semiconductor microcavities in the strong coupling regime is studied by using time-and spatially resolved spectroscopy. The switching is triggered by polarized short pulses which create spin bullets of high polariton de ...
In this thesis, I report state-resolved measurements of the chemisorption probability of CH4 on Pt(111) and Pt(110)-(1×2) for several rovibrationally excited states (2ν3, ν1+ν4, and 2ν2+ν4) in addition to the ground state. Measurements of the state resolve ...
