In 1971 Feynman, Kislinger and Ravndal [1] proposed Lorentz-invariant differential equation capable to describe relativistic particle with mass and internal space-time structure. By making use of new variables that differentiate between…
We dress atoms with multiple-radiofrequency fields and investigate the spectrum of transitions driven by an additional probe field. A complete theoretical description of this rich spectrum is presented, in which we find allowed transitions…
A mechanism is explored whereby intense laser radiation induces an optical force between the constituent atoms of a molecule. In the case of a diatomic molecule the effect results in a modification of the vibrational potential, and using…
We extend the results of Bakalov D., B.Jeziorski, T.Korona, K.Szalewicz, E.Tchoukova, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 84} (2000) 2350, on one-photon electric dipole transition line shift and broadening to the case of two-photon transitions. As an…
Gravitational waves potentially represent our only direct probe of the universe when it was less than one second old. In particular, first-order phase transitions in the early universe can generate a stochastic background of gravitational…
In this work we compare two blackbody interpretations, those of G. Kirchhoff and M. Planck. We separate the problem of interpreting the blackbody spectrum from that of determining the mechanical equivalent of radiation. Then we propose…
Electroluminescence, a non-thermal radiative process, is ubiquitous in semi-conductors and insulators but fundamentally precluded in metals. We show here that this restriction can be circumvented in high-quality graphene. By investigating…
Tunneling is an important physical process. The observation that particles surmount a high mountain in spite of the fact that they don't have the necessary energy cannot be explained by classical physics. However, this so called tunneling…
Dipole antennas have been invented a hundred years ago. Nevertheless, what really happens in their proximity during emission (the so-called near-field) is still an open question and the many explanations put forth are not fully convincing.…
In the article the transition radiation from a relativistic charge crossing a finite radius paraboloid target with taking into account the pre-wave zone effect is considered. It is shown that in this case the radiation cone narrowing occurs…
The application of the Lorentz integral transform (LIT) method to photon scattering off nuclei is presented in general. As an example, elastic photon scattering off the deuteron in the unretarded dipole approximation is considered using the…
Our initial impressions of astronomical objects was that they are inherently "static" over the course of any reasonably long observation. However, with the discovery of quasars and their scintillation in 1963-64, we learnt that there are…
In 1983, Thornhill showed that Planck's energy distribution for a black-body radiation field could be derived for a gas-like aether with Maxwellian statistics. Further, it was shown that the frequency of electromagnetic waves correlates…
The vast majority of recent advances in the field of numerical radiative transfer relies on approximate operator methods better known in astrophysics as Accelerated Lambda-Iteration (ALI). A superior class of iterative schemes, in term of…
Hawking radiation was originally proposed in astrophysics, but it has been generalized and extended to other physical systems receiving the name of analogue Hawking radiation. In the last two decades, several attempts have been made to…
We define the star transform as a generalization of the broken ray transform introduced by us in previous work. The advantages of using the star transform include the possibility to reconstruct the absorption and the scattering coefficients…
The scattering phase shift of an electron transferred through a quantum dot is studied within a model Hamiltonian, accounting for both the electron--electron interaction in the dot and a finite temperature. It is shown that, unlike in an…
Kilonovae are a rare class of astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of nuclei heavier than iron, synthesized in the merger of two compact objects. Over the first few days, the kilonova evolution is dominated by a large…
We develop a theory of light transmission through an aperture-type near-field optical probe with a dissipative matter in its semiconducting core described by a complex frequency-dependent dielectric function. We evaluate the near-field…
We study terahertz transmission through nano-patterned vanadium dioxide thin film. It is found that the patterning allows the lowering of the apparent transition temperature. For the case of the smallest width nano antennas, the transition…
