The strong coupling of molecules with surface plasmons results in hybrid states which are part molecule, part surface-bound light. Since molecular resonances may acquire the spatial coherence of plasmons, which have mm-scale propagation…

The theory for light-hole Zeeman splitting developed in [Physica E 44, 797 (2012)] is compared with experimental data found in literature for GaAs/AlGaAs, InGaAs/InP and CdTe/CdMgTe quantum wells. It is shown that the description of…
We predict that long-lived excitons with very large binding energies can also exist in a single or few layers of monochalcogenides such as GaSe. Our theoretical study shows that excitons confined by a radial local strain field are unable to…
Clear evidence for a positive correlation is established between the magnitude of magnetic fluctuations in the lower-hybrid frequency range and enhancement of reconnection rates in a well-controlled laboratory plasma. The fluctuations…
Magnetic reconnection is often invoked to explain the non-thermal radiation of relativistic outflows, including jets of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Motivated by the largely unknown plasma composition of AGN jets, we study reconnection in…

Transition of an electron from a free to a bound state is critical in determining the qualitative shape of the spectrum in high-order harmonic generation (HHG), and in tomographic imaging of orbitals. We calculate and compare the…
We consider the energy spectrum of the planar quantum well which consisted of two ribbons of narrow-gap semiconductors and a graphene ribbon between ones. It is shown that the gapless mode appears only in case of inverted narrow-gap…
