Scanning tunneling microscopy-induced luminescence (STML) provides access to optical properties of individual molecules through a cascade of relaxation processes between many-body states. Insufficient charge attachment energies quench the…
In the supercooled regime at elevated pressure two forms of liquid water, high-density (HDL) and low-density (LDL), have been proposed to be separated by a coexistence line ending at a critical point, but a connection to ambient conditions…
In this study a single laser pulse spatially shaped into a ring is focused into a thin water layer, creating an annular cavitation bubble and cylindrical shock waves: an outer shock that diverges away from the excitation laser ring and an…
Hidden singularities in correlated electron systems, which are caused by pair fluctuations of electron-electron or electron-hole bubbles obeying Bose-Einstein statistics, are clarified theoretically. The correlation function of each pair…
Ultrasound offers promising applications in biology and chemistry, but quantifying local ultrasound conditions remains challenging due to the lack of non-invasive measurement tools. We introduce antibubbles as novel optical reporters of…
Gas bubble transport through highly porous transport layers (PTLs) is a key process in electrochemical devices such as proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers, where bubbles generated at catalyst surfaces must migrate through complex…
Vibrational spectroscopy is a ubiquitous technology that derives the species, constituents, and morphology of an object from its natural vibrations. However, the vibrational spectra of mesoscopic particles - including most biological cells…
The actual theoretical research investigates the resonant high-energy spontaneous bremsstrahlung of ultrarelativistic electrons with considerable energies in the field of a nucleus and a quasimonochromatic laser wave. Under the resonant…
We investigate time-dependent spectra of the intermittent resonance fluorescence of a single, laser-driven, three-level atom due to electron shelving. After a quasi-stationary state of the strong transition, a slow decay due to shelving…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the universe's most energetic phenomena (isotropic luminosity $\sim 10^{51} - 10^{54}$ ergs/s) lasting for a very short duration ($\sim$ milliseconds - a few seconds). Even after an average of one GRB detected…

We show that the phase difference of two overlapping ground state Bose-Einstein condensates can effect the optical spontaneous emission rate of excited atoms. Depending on the phase difference the atom stimulated spontaneous emission rate…
We study the surface modes of a homogeneous spherical gain medium and provide a comprehensive analytic treatment of a special class of these modes that support spectral singularities. Because the latter have a divergent quality factor, we…
