Ground-based gamma ray observations of the Galactic Center region have revealed a high energy gamma ray source spatially coincident with the gravitational centroid of our Galaxy. The pointlike emission detected by H.E.S.S. exhibits an…

We provide a self-consistent electromagnetic theory of the coupling between dipole emitters and dissipative nanoresonators. The theory that relies on the concept of quasi-normal modes with complex frequencies provides an accurate…

We report on a model of polymer nanocomposites with fibrous fillers which explicitly considers the microscopic filler features and replicates the composites as random distributions of particles interconnected via electron tunneling. By…

The present dissertation covers two related research projects. The first topic was initiated with the ultimate goal of observing quantum degeneracy in ultrashort free electron pulses. This constitutes a thorough theoretical analysis of the…

In a recent article, Alldredge et al. reported tunnelling data obtained at T = 4.2 K by STM in Bi-2212 having different doping levels, p, and a new way to fit the measured differential conductances, g(V), which are linearly proportional to…

We introduce a complex-extended continuum level density and apply it to one-dimensional scattering problems involving tunneling through finite-range potentials. We show that the real part of the density is proportional to a real "time…

A new method for determining the accelerating potential above the polar caps of radio pulsars with an arbitrary inclination angle of the magnetic axis to the rotation axis has been proposed. The approach has been based on the concept of a…

A first-principle model is proposed to study the electrostatic properties of a double-gated silicon slab of nano scale in the framework of density functional theory. The applied gate voltage is approximated as a variation of the…

High resolution molecular dynamics simulations with full Coulomb interactions of electrons are used to investigate field emission in planar nanodiodes. The effects of space charge and emitter radius are examined and compared to previous…

A field excited by an emitter can be enhanced due to presence of closely located inclusions. In this paper we consider such field enhancement when inclusions are disks of the same radii, and the emitter is of dipole type and located in the…

Inclusion of electron-electron interaction is essential in nano-diodes to understand the underlying physical phenomenon and tailor devices accordingly. However, both space charge and exchange-correlation interactions involve electrons at…

Photoemission driven by a strong electric field of near-infrared or visible light, referred to as strong-field photoemission, produces attosecond electron pulses that are synchronized to the waveform of the incident light, and this…

On purpose to establish the differences in probabilities of spontaneous radiative emission of an atom in a free space and in a nonuniform space with a nanospheroid the field strength E and the density of states rho_E of the mode n_10 of a…

A new scheme for constructing approximate effective electron potentials within density-functional theory is proposed. The scheme consists of calculating the effective potential for a series of reference systems, and then using these…

Owing to their distinct properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as promising candidate for field emission devices. It has been found experimentally that the results related to the field emission performance show variability. The…

Point sources exhibit low threshold electron emission due to local field enhancement at the tip. The development and implementation of tip emitters have been hampered by the need to position them sufficiently apart to achieve field…

Practical expressions are derived for evaluation of electrical and thermal conductivities and thermopower of degenerate electrons in the outer envelopes of neutron stars with magnetic fields. All tensor components of the kinetic…

The Purcell effect describes the enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate of an emitter near a resonant structure. However, evaluating the Purcell factor quantitatively and empirically is difficult due to the difficulties in measuring…

We derived the analytic solution of induced electrostatic potential along single wall carbon nanotubes. Under the hypothesis of constant density of states in the charge-neutral level, we are able to obtain the linear density of excess…

This paper presents a simple model for predicting electrical conductivity of air with varying electrode separation and different moisture content present in air. Our system consists of a metallic thin film (Cu) coated sample and a needle…
