The nonlinear polaronic response of electrons solvated in liquid 2-propanol is studied by two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy. Solvated electrons with a concentration of c$_e \approx$ 800 $\mu$M are generated by femtosecond…
Absorbing layers are sometimes required to be impractically thick in order to offer an accurate approximation of an absorbing boundary condition for the Helmholtz equation in a heterogeneous medium. It is always possible to reduce an…
We study the dynamics of hydration water/protein association in folded proteins, using lysozyme and myoglobin as examples. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations are performed to identify underlying mechanisms of the dynamical transition…
Absorption spectra of liquid water at 300 K are calculated from both classical and density functional theory molecular dynamics simulation data, which together span from 1 MHz to hundreds of THz, agreeing well with experimental data…
Hypothesis: As a fluid approaches three phase coexistence, adsorption may take place by the successive formation of two intervening wetting films. The equilibrium thickness of these wetting layers is the result of a delicate balance of…
Ab initio calculation of dielectric response with high-accuracy electronic structure methods is a long-standing problem, for which mean-field approaches are widely used and electron correlations are mostly treated via approximated…
We use a simple generic model to study the desorption of atoms from a solid surface in contact with a liquid, by using a combination of Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations. The behavior of the system depends on two parameters:…
We present the theory, design, and realization of a polarization-insensitive metamaterial absorber for terahertz frequencies. We derive geometrical-independent conditions for effective medium absorbers in general, and for resonant…
A method is presented for measuring anisotropic THz response for small crystals, Crystal Anisotropy Terahertz Microscopy (CATM). Sucrose CATM measurements find the expected anisotropic phonon resonances. CATM measurements of protein…
The heating of ions via lower hybrid waves has been observed in several astrophysical as well as laboratory plasmas. We have conducted Particle-In-Cell simulations to demonstrate absorption of the incident laser pulse at a chosen localized…
Thermal waves are caused by pure diffusion: their amplitude is decreased by more than a factor of 500 within a propagation distance of one wavelength. The diffusion equation, which describes the temperature as a function of space and time,…
We consider the Helmholtz problem in the context of the evolution of uniform initial distribution of a physical attribute in general porous media subject to a partially absorbing boundary condition. Its spectral property as a reflection of…
The two-color laser field scheme for broad-band terahertz (THz) radiation from air has been intensively and broadly investigated due to the simplicity in technology and relative high yield efficiency. Experiments showed that the detected…
We present a generalized formalism to describe the optical energy flow and spatially resolved absorption in arbitrarily anisotropic layered structures. The algorithm is capable of treating any number of layers of arbitrarily anisotropic,…
Because it is sensitive to fluctuations occurring over femtoseconds to picoseconds, gigahertz-to-terahertz dielectric relaxation spectroscopy can provide a valuable window into water's most rapid intermolecular motions. In response, we have…
The influence of the chain degree of ionization on the adsorption of weak polyelectrolytes on neutral and on oppositely and likely charged surfaces is investigated for the first time, by means of Monte Carlo simulations with the mesoscopic…
Near-field imaging with terahertz (THz) waves is emerging as a powerful technique for fundamental research in photonics and across physical and life sciences. Spatial resolution beyond the diffraction limit can be achieved by collecting THz…
The heating effect of terahertz pulse with various frequencies and intensities on the heavy water solution is investigated using the molecular dynamics simulation. Resonant absorptions are found for both heavy water and light water, but at…
A promising route for the development of opto-elelctronic technology is to use terahertz radiation to modulate the optical properties of semiconductors. Here we demonstrate the dynamical control of photoluminescence (PL) emission in…
The problem of calculation of the reflectivity of non-ideal shock-compressed plasmas is revisited. The dielectric formalism based on the method of moments incorporating exact asymptotic forms and sum rules is applied to the new experimental…
