Ji \etal [New J. Phys. {\bf 26}, 093014 (2024)] established a direct link between the photoionization cross section and the attosecond time delay near Cooper minima (CM) in the valence shells of noble-gas atoms. This link is based on the…

We consider the effect of Au nanospheres of subwavelength sizes on the decay and energy transfer rates of quantum systems placed in the proximity of these nanospheres. We find that, for the sphere sizes considered in this contribution, the…
We consider a complete study of the influence of the cavity size on the spontaneous decay of an atom excited state, roughly approximated by a harmonic oscillator. We confine the oscillator-field system in a spherical cavity of radius $R$,…

We report the first coupled-cluster study of Auger decay in heavy metals. The zinc atom is used as a case study due to its relevance to the Auger emission properties of the $^{67}$Ga radionuclide. Coupled-cluster theory combined with…
Results of the self-consistent calculation of electronic structure of endohedral fullerene Ar@C$_{60}$ within the Hartree-Fock and the local density approximations are presented. Hartree-Fock approximation is used for the self-consistent…
The strong dependence of Coulomb energies on nuclear radii makes it possible to extract the latter from calculations of the former. The resulting estimates of neutron skins indicate that two mechanisms are involved. The first…
When an electron is confined to a triangular atomic thick layer of graphene [1-5] with zig-zag edges, its energy spectrum collapses to a shell of degenerate states at the Fermi level (Dirac point) [6-9]. The degeneracy is proportional to…
Charge transfer is fundamentally dependent on the overlap of the orbitals comprising the transport pathway. This has key implications for molecular, nanoscale, and quantum technologies, for which delocalization (and decoherence) rates are…
We analyse vacuum decay in rotating BTZ black hole spacetimes with the thin wall approximation. Possible parameter regions for the vacuum decay are clarified. We find that the nucleation rate is dominated by the bounce solution with the…
Concentration of the strongest transitions on the high-energy side of some emission, photoexcitation and Auger spectra of atoms is related with the existence of the additional selection rule for the number of vacancy-electron pairs.
A qualitative discussion is given of the role electron holes play in generating fine structure on the electron cyclotron maser radiation. It is argued that electron holes become deformed in phase space when interacting with an incomplete…
Angle resolved-Auger-photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy (AR-APECS) has been exploited to investigate the role that electron correlation plays in the exchange-coupling at the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface of a Fe/CoO bilayer…
Shell confined atom can serve as a generalized model to explain both \emph{free} and \emph{confined} condition. In this scenario, an atom is trapped inside two concentric spheres of inner $(R_{a})$ and outer $(R_{b})$ radius. The choice of…
We have derived a semiclassical trace formula for the level density of the three-dimensional spheroidal cavity. To overcome the divergences occurring at bifurcations and in the spherical limit, the trace integrals over the action-angle…
Hydrogen (H) content modifies the creep response of Fe-based alloys by altering thermodynamics of point-defects; here we identify the electronic-structure mechanism underlying this effect. Using spin-polarized first-principles calculations…
