We address problems arising in supersaturated systems of small atomic particles in solids. Nucleation processes in such systems do not seem to follow the classical interpretation but may be indicative of quantal nucleation partucularly at…
We compare the results of the semi-classical (SC) and quantum-mechanical (QM) formalisms for angular-momentum changing transitions in Rydberg atom collisions given by Vrinceanu & Flannery, J. Phys. B 34, L1 (2001), and Vrinceanu, Onofrio &…
Some considerations about the importance of coherence effects for bremsstrahlung processes in non--equilibrium dense matter (Landau - Pomeranchuk - Migdal - effect) are presented. They are of particular relevance for the application to…
Here we present a semiclassical analysis of spontaneous and stimulated radiative emission from unmodulated and optically-modulated electron quantum wavepackets. We show that the radiative emission/absorption and corresponding…

Scattering phenomena between charged particles and highly excited Rydberg atoms are of critical importance in many processes in plasma physics and astrophysics. While a Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) energy distribution for the charged particles is…
We summarize recent work in which the shell effect, which causes the onset of the mass asymmetry in nuclear fission, could be explained semiclassically in the framework of the periodic orbit theory. We also present new results for the…
