Density perturbations and their dynamic evolution from early to late times can be used for an improved understanding of interesting physical phenomena both in cosmology and in the context of heavy-ion collisions. We discuss the spectrum and…
We introduce two tractable analytical models to describe dynamic effects at resonant light scattering by subwavelength particles. One of them is based on generalization of the temporal coupled-mode theory, and the other employs the normal…

Over the last few decades, extensive previous studies of the nonlinear response of metal nanoparticles report a wide variation of nonlinear coefficients, thus, revealing a highly confused picture of the underlying physics. This naturally…
Advancing the debate on quantum effects in light-initiated reactions in biology requires clear identification of non-classical features that these processes can exhibit and utilise. Here we show that in prototype dimers present in a variety…
We worked out a new group of collimated plasmon beams by the means of in-plane diffraction with symmetric phase modulation. As the phase type changes from 1.8 to 1.0, the beam undergoes an interesting evolution from focusing to a straight…

We present a general method based on nonlinear response theory to obtain effective interactions between ions in an electron gas which can also be applied to other systems where an adiabatic separation of time-scales is possible. Nonlinear…
We investigate the properties of mixed H/He flames in X-ray bursts using 2D hydrodynamic simulations. We find that as the initial hydrogen abundance of the atmosphere increases, the flame is less energetic and propagates slower. The…
