In a paper recently published in Phys. Rev. A [arXiv:1010.4223], Schirmer has criticized an earlier work of mine [arXiv:0803.2727], as well as the foundations of time-dependent density functional theory. In Ref.[2], I showed that the…
The paper investigates possibility of equilibrium solid-body rotation of a vortex bundle diverging at some height from a cylinder axis and terminating on a lateral wall of a container. Such a bundle arises when vorticity expands up from a…
Converged approximate density functional calculations usually do not bind anions, due to large self-interaction error. But Hartree-Fock calculations have no such prob- lem, producing negative HOMO energies. A recently proposed scheme for…
This is a brief overview of the main physical ideas for application of field effect transistors for generation and detection of TeraHertz radiation. Resonant frequencies of the two-dimensional plasma oscillations in FETs increase with the…
Resonant angle scanned x-ray photoelectron diffraction (RXPD) allows the determination of the atomic and magnetic structure of surfaces and interfaces. For the case of magnetized nickel the resonant L2 excitation with circularly polarized…
Using quantum Monte Carlo we have studied the superfluid density of the first layer of $^4$He and H$_2$ adsorbed on graphene and graphite. Our main focus has been on the equilibrium ground state of the system, which corresponds to a…
We theoretically investigate a possible idea to introduce magnetic impurities to a superfluid Fermi gas. In the presence of population imbalance ($N_\uparrow>N_\downarrow$, where $N_\sigma$ is the number of Fermi atoms with pseudospin…
Using angle-resolved heterodyne four-wave-mixing technique, we probe the low momentum excitation spectrum of a coherent polariton gas. The experimental results are well captured by the Bogoliubov transformation which describes the…
Motivated by recent experiments on the supersolid behavior of $^4$He, we study the effect of an edge dislocation in promoting superfluidity in a Bose crystal. Using Landau theory, we couple the elastic strain field of the dislocation to the…
We present an example of a generically forbidden phase transition in 1d at finite temperature -- stress induced and thermally assisted roughening of a superclimbing dislocation in a Peierls potential. We also argue that such roughening is…
We analyze performance of a resonance-type spin-torque microwave detector (STMD) in the presence of noise and reveal two distinct regimes of STMD operation. In the first (high-frequency) regime the minimum detectable microwave power $P_{\rm…
We study experimentally the interaction between two solitary waves that approach one to another in a linear chain of spheres interacting via the Hertz potential. When these counter propagating waves collide, they cross each other and a…
Replacing independent single quantum wells inside a strongly-coupled semiconductor microcavity with double quantum wells produces a special type of polariton. Using asymmetric double quantum wells in devices processed into mesas allows the…
Frequency shifts and dissipations of a compound torsional oscillator induced by solid $^4$He samples containing $^3$He impurity concentrations ($x_3$ = 0.3, 3, 6, 12 and 25 in units of 10$^{-6}$) have been measured at two resonant mode…
This book chapter is a general introduction to photo-dynamics. An outlined structure to the theoretical studies on classical/quantum/mixed dynamics were described from the literature point of view. Such methods get constrained for the…
The electromagnetic field on the metal surface launched by a subwavelength slit is analytically studied, for the case when the fundamental mode inside the slit has a wavevector component along the slit axis (conical mount). Both near-field…
The release of conduction-band electrons from a metal surface by a sub-femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulse, and their propagation through the solid, provokes a dielectric response in the solid that acts back on the photoelectron…
We study phonon-mediated adsorption and desorption of an electron at dielectric surfaces with deep polarization-induced surface potentials where multi-phonon transitions are responsible for electron energy relaxation. Focusing on…
A rectangular potential barrier for a Bloch particle in a tight-binding lattice is shown to become fully transparent by the application of a strong ac field with appropriate amplitude and frequency. Such a curious phenomenon bears some…
The impact of imperfections, which are always present on surfaces of lenses with centimeter-size curvature radii, on the Casimir force in the lens-plate geometry is investigated. It is shown that the commonly used formulation of the…
