Formation of hydronium and carbonate ions from CO2 in the aqueous phase is a reversible process and can produce and consume ions. These equilibrium reactions represent molecular electrochemical oscillators with chaotic dynamics. As…
Using only linearly polarized light, we study the possibility of generating spin-polarized photoelectrons from xenon atoms. No net spin polarization is possible, since the xenon ground state is spin-less, but when the photoelectron are…
The deviation of the measured value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment from the standard model prediction can be completely explained by mixing of the muon with extra vectorlike leptons, L and E, near the electroweak scale. This mixing…

Motivated by recent interest in the role of the hyperfine interaction in quantum dots we study the dynamics of a localized electron spin coupled to many nuclei. An important feature of the model is that the coupling to an individual nuclear…
We discuss deviations from the exponential decay law which originate when going beyond the Breit-Wigner distribution for an unstable state. In particular, we concentrate on an oscillating behavior, reminiscent of the Rabi-oscillations, in…
