The electron spin polarization (ESP) of the L-gap surface states on Au(111) is investigated theoretically by means of first-principles electronic-structure and photoemission calculations. The surface states show a large spin-orbit induced…
We have carried out extensive isokinetic {\it ab initio} molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the finite temperature properties of the impurity doped cluster Li$_6$Sn along with the host cluster Li$_7$. The data obtained from about…
Time-resolved optical measurements in (110)-oriented GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells show a ten-fold increase of the spin-relaxation rate as a function of applied electric field from 20 to 80 kV cm-1 at 170 K and indicate a similar variation at…
A nonlinear system possessing a natural forbidden band gap can transmit energy of a signal with a frequency in the gap, as recently shown for the nonlinear chain of coupled pendula [Phys Rev Lett 89 (2002) 134102]. This process of nonlinear…
A statistical theory of the strip domain structure excited in a bubble film by an oscillating magnetic field is developed. The theory is based on the consideration of the strip domain structure as a thermodynamic system characterized by the…
We study the slow phase of thermally activated magnetic relaxation in finite two-dimensional ensembles of dipolar interacting ferromagnetic nanoparticles whose easy axes of magnetization are perpendicular to the distribution plane. We…
We investigate the possibility of doping C60 crystals by applying a strong electric field. For an accurate description of a C60 field-effect device we introduce a multipole expansion of the field, the response of the C60 molecules, and the…
We investigate rotational properties of a system of bosons with attractive interactions confined in a one-dimensional torus. Two kinds of ground states, uniform-density and bright-soliton states, are obtained analytically as functions of…
A quantum dot spin LED provides a test of carrier spin injection into a qubit, as well as a means of analyzing carrier spin injection in general and local spin polarization. The polarization of the observed light is, however, significantly…
The thermally activated magnetic relaxation in two-dimensional ensembles of dipolar interacting nanoparticles with large uniaxial perpendicular anisotropy is studied by a numerical method and within the mean-field approximation. The role…
The negative correlation energy per particle of a uniform electron gas of density parameter $r_s$ and spin polarization $\zeta$ is well known, but its spin resolution into up-down, up-up, and down-down contributions is not. Widely-used…
Strongly confining an ultracold atomic gas in one direction to create a quasi-2D system alters the scattering properties of this gas. We investigate the effects of confinement on Feshbach scattering resonances and show that strong…
We describe a simple model for the melting and optical properties of a DNA/gold nanoparticle aggregate. The optical properties at fixed wavelength change dramatically at the melting transition, which is found to be higher and narrower in…
We set up recursion relations for calculating all even moments of the end-to-end distance of a Porod-Kratky wormlike chains in $D$ dimensions. From these moments we derive a simple analytic expression for the end-to-end distribution in…
We design models for helium in matrices like aerogel, Vycor or Geltech from a manifestly microscopic point of view. For that purpose, we calculate the dynamic structure function of 4He on Si substrates and between two Si walls as a function…
We present a microscopic quantum analysis for rotational constants of the OCS-H$_2$ complex in helium droplets using the local two-fluid theory in conjunction with path integral Monte Carlo simulations. Rotational constants are derived from…
We present a scheme for rapid loading of a Bose-Einstein condensate into a single Bloch state of a weak optical lattice at a quasi-momentum of q = hbar k. Rabi cycling of a Bose condensate between momentum states is modified by a phase…
Recent studies indicate that the weakly coupled spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet with next nearest neighbor frustration supports massive spinons when suitably tuned. The straightforward SU(N) generalization of the low energy ladder…
We discuss recent developments in the formulation of a Statistical Mechanics approach to non thermal systems, such as granular media. We review a few important numerical results on the assessment of Edwards' theory and, in particular, we…
We introduce a simple generalization of the well known geminal wavefunction already applied in Quantum Chemistry to atoms and small molecules. The main feature of the proposed wavefunction is the presence of the antisymmetric geminal part…
