Transient X-ray absorption techniques can measure ultrafast dynamics of the elemental edges in a material or multiple layer junction, giving them immense potential for deconvoluting concurrent processes. However, the interpretation of the…
Quantum mechanical methods based on the density functional theory (DFT) offer a realistic possibility of first-principles design of organic donor-acceptor systems and engineered band-gap materials. This promise is contingent upon the…
We present the 2D ionization structure of self-similar MHD winds off accretion disks around irradiated by a central X-ray source. Based on earlier observational clues and theoretical arguments, we focus our attention on a subset of these…
In semiconducting solar-cell absorbers, high absorption coefficient (alpha) near the band-edge region is critical to maximize the photocurrent generation and collection. Nevertheless, despite the importance of the band-edge absorption…
This paper constructs the mapping relation from density of states (DOS) to UV-vis spectra by using an ab initio perspective. Taking BiOIO3 semiconductor photocatalyst as an example, the experimental verification was also carried out. The…
For the past decade, ionized outflows of a few 100 km/s from nearby Seyfert galaxies have been studied in great detail using high resolution X-ray absorption spectra. A recurring feature of these outflows is their broad ionization…
A new nano-cell with smoothly varying longitudinal thickness of the atomic vapour layer L in the range of 350 - 5100 nm allowing to study the resonant absorption of D1 and D2 lines of Cs atoms for thicknesses changing from L = Lambda/2 to L…
We present an analysis of the X-ray properties of sources detected in the 13H XMM-Newton deep (200ks) field. In order to constrain the absorbed AGN population, we use extensive Monte Carlo simulations to directly compare the X-ray colours…
Resonant X-ray scattering (RXS) is a spectroscopy where both the power of site selective diffraction and the power of local absorption spectroscopy regarding atomic species are combined. By virtue of the dependence on the core level state…
Observationally, the X-ray spectrum ($0.5-10$ keV) of low-level accreting neutron stars (NSs) can generally be well fitted by the model with two components, i.e, a thermal soft X-ray component plus a power-law component. Meanwhile, the…
The most common observed feature of the X-ray outflows in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is their broad ionization distribution spanning up to $\sim$ 5 orders of magnitude in ionization levels. This feature is quantified in terms of…
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are extensively investigated for opto-electronic applications that require strong light-matter interactions. In view of such applications, it is essential to understand how…
We investigate the scattering and absorption of light by random ballistic aggregates of spherical monomers. We present a general measure for the porosity of an irregular particle. Three different classes of ballistic aggregates are…
The optical classification of a Seyfert galaxy and whether it is considered X-ray absorbed are often used interchangeably. But there are many borderline cases and also numerous examples where the optical and X-ray classifications appear to…
Calculations of L-shell x-ray absorption in transition metals are shown to be sensitive to screening, both of the x-ray field and the photoelectron-core hole interaction. This screening is calculated using a generalization of the time…
The SWIFT gamma ray observatory's Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) has detected a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) based solely on their hard X-ray flux (14-195 keV). In this paper, we present for the first time {\it XMM-Newton} X-ray…
Using the atomic density function theory (ADFT), we examine the point defect absorption at [110] symmetrical tilt grain boundaries in body-centered cubic iron. It is found that the sink strength strongly depends on misorientation angle. We…
We explore the finite bias DC differential conductance of a correlated quantum dot under the influence of an AC field, from the low-temperature Kondo to the finite temperature Coulomb blockade regime. Real-time simulations are performed…
Using local density approximation plus dynamical mean-field theory (LDA+DMFT), we have computed the valence band photoelectron spectra of highly popular multiferroic BiFeO$_{3}$. Within DMFT, the local impurity problem is tackled by exact…
Photo-active systems are characterized by their capacity of absorbing light energy and transforming it. Usually, more than one chromophore is involved in the light absorption and excitation transport processes in complex systems.…
