A semiempirical theory for the excitation and subsequent relaxation of nonthermal electrons is described. The theory, which is applicable to ultrafast-laser excited metals, is based on the Boltzmann transport equation for the carrier…

We implement high-efficiency coherent excitation to a Rydberg state using stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in a cold atom electron and ion source. We achieve an efficiency of 60% averaged over the laser excitation volume with a peak…

Low-frequency Raman peaks, below 250 cm-1, are observed in hydrogen between 2-174 GPa and 13-300 K. The origin of these features is attributed to reorientational transitions (DeltaJ = 0; Q0-branch), which shift from the Rayleigh line as…

Accurate atomic transition data are important in many astronomical research areas especially in line spectroscopy study. Whereas transition data of He-like and H-like ions (i.e., ions at high-charge states) are accurately calculated, that…

Energies of ns[1/2] (n= 6-9), np[j] (n = 6-8), nd[j] (n= 6-7), and 5f[j] states in neutral Au and Au-like ions with nuclear charges Z = 80 - 83 are calculated using relativistic many-body perturbation theory. Reduced matrix elements,…

Resonant transfer of energy between excited states in a system of two semiconductor quantum dots is studied theoretically. The model Hamiltonian has been formulated, which allowed describe the impact on the dynamics of the resonant laser…

Multiphoton excitation of a solid by a few-cycle, intense laser pulse forms a very non-equilibrium distribution of charge carriers, where occupation probabilities do not necessarily decrease with energy. We show that, under certain…

Propagation of short laser pulses in a medium of Lambda-atoms in the intuitive sequence and under conditions of adiabatic following is studied. The regime of superluminal propagation is obtained and the conditions of efficient population…

Advanced techniques for manipulation of internal states, standard in atomic physics, are demonstrated for a charged molecular species for the first time. We address individual hyperfine states of ro-vibrational levels of a diatomic ion by…

We discover a new mechanism of electronic population inversion using strong femtosecond pulses, where the transfer is mediated by vibrational motion on a light-induced potential. The process can be achieved with a single pulse tuning its…

Frequency-modulation schemes offer an alternative to standard Rabi pulses for realizing robust quantum operations. In this work, we investigate short-duration population transfer between the ground and first excited states of a ladder-type…

Air-lasing from single ionized N$_2^+$ molecules induced by laser filamentation in air has been intensively investigated and the mechanisms responsible for lasing are currently highly debated. We use ultrafast nitrogen K-edge spectroscopy…

We report studies of state-to-state vibrational energy transfer in an isolated polyatomic molecule driven by combined stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) and counter-diabatic fields (CDF), using as vehicles selective population of…

The non-dispersed soft x-ray emission from a La/B4C periodic multilayer irradiated by monochromatic x-rays has been measured as a function of the incident photon energy in the 125-200 eV range for different scattering angles. We have…

We compute the populations of isotopes of Boron, Carbon and Nitrogen measured experimentally in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. A two component soluble statistical model is used to find the initial populations of different nuclei…

In this paper, we investigate the coherent control over a complex multi-level atomic system using the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP). Based on the example of rubidium-87 atoms, excited with circularly-polarized light at the D1…

We investigate the multi-photon process of above-threshold ionization for the light elements hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in the hard x-ray regime. Numerical challenges are discussed and by comparing Hartree-Fock-Slater…

We find a set of conditions to achieve complete population transfer, via coherent population trapping, from an initial state to a designated final state at a designated time in a degenerate n-state atom, where the transitions are caused by…

A scheme of soft-xray radiation is proposed. In the scheme, a moderately intense laser excites plasmons via the two-plasmon decay in a relativistic electron beam. As the second laser encounters the electron beam in the opposite direction,…

The population of meta-stable levels is key to high precision density diagnostics of astrophysical plasmas. In photo-ionized plasmas, density is used to infer the distance from the ionizing source, which is otherwise difficult to obtain.…
