In the long wavelength domain, typically for wavelengths lambda > 100 angstroms, the laser fields are usually taken as independent of the spatial coordinate. However, at the gas-solid interface the electron density of the material and the…
Strong QED has attracted attention recently partly because many astrophysical phenomena have been observed to involve electromagnetic fields beyond the critical strength for electron-positron pair production and partly because terrestrial…
Positive terahertz photoconductivity is observed at room temperature in CdHgTe thin films with different Cd contents. We show that electron gas heating caused by Drude-like absorption results in positive photoconductivity because of the…

Photocurrent-induced harmonics appear in gases and solids due to tunnel ionization of electrons in strong fields and subsequent acceleration. In contrast to three-step harmonic emission, no return to the parent ions is necessary. Here we…

Interest in magnetically induced (MI) transitions of alkali metal atoms is caused by the fact that their intensities can exceed the intensities of regular atomic transitions in a wide range of magnetic field (200 - 4000 G). The goal of this…
An enhancement of vortex-motion damping in thin Pb/In superconducting films is obtained through coupling to an adjacent two-dimensional electron gas formed in a modulation-doped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. This effect is observed by…

Multiphoton excitation of a solid by a few-cycle, intense laser pulse forms a very non-equilibrium distribution of charge carriers, where occupation probabilities do not necessarily decrease with energy. We show that, under certain…
