Our current understanding of the absorption and emission properties of interstellar grains are reviewed. The constraints placed by the Kramers-Kronig relation on the wavelength-dependence and the maximum allowable quantity of the dust…
The effect of the electron temperature on both the light absorption and the scattering by metal nanoparticles (MNs) with excitation of the surface plasmon electron vibrations is studied in the framework of the kinetic theory. The formulae…
The temperatures of prolate and oblate spheroidal dust grains in the envelopes of stars of various spectral types are calculated. Homogeneous particles with aspect ratios {\small $a/b \le 10$} composed of amorphous carbon, iron, dirty ice,…
The kinetic approach is applied to develop the Drude-Sommerfeld model for studying of the optical and electrical transport properties of spheroidal metallic nanoparticles, when the free electron path is much greater than the particle size.…
A model of spheroidal particles is used to calculate the steady-state temperature of dust grains immersed in the interstellar radiation field. It is found that the temperature of non-spherical grains with the aspect ratios a/b <= 2 deviates…
Observations of flowing granular matter have suggested that same-material tribocharging de- pends on particle size, rendering large grains positive and small ones negative. Models assuming the transfer of trapped electrons can explain this,…
The standard model of cosmic ray heating-induced desorption of interstellar ices is based on a continuous representation of the sporadic desorption of ice mantle components from classical (0.1 micron) dust grains. This has been re-evaluated…
The theory for the electric and magnetic fields energy absorption by small metallic particles subjected to the irradiation by ultrashort laser pulses of different duration in the region of surface plasmon excitation is developed. For the…
Aligned interstellar grains produce polarized extinction (observed at wavelengths from the far-ultraviolet to the mid-infrared), and polarized thermal emission (observed at far-infrared and submm wavelengths). The grains must be quite…
We show that the low frequency microwave absorption of an ensemble of small metallic grains at low temperatures is dominated by a mesoscopic relaxation mechanism. Giant positive magnetoresistance and very strong temperature dependence of…
We review recent experimental and theoretical work on ultrasmall metallic grains, i.e. grains sufficiently small that the conduction electron energy spectrum becomes discrete. The discrete excitation spectrum of an individual grain can be…
The optical properties of clusters with metallic spherical particles embedded in an insulating matrix are studied. A theoretical approach is proposed for the calculation of the macroscopic dielectric response for a collection of spheres at…
We study the thermal response of a single spherical metal nanoparticle to continuous wave illumination as a function of its size. We show that the particle temperature increases non-monotonically as the particle size increases, indicating…
We study the thermodynamic properties of a small superconducting metallic grain using a quantum Monte Carlo method. The grain is described by the universal Hamiltonian, containing pairing and ferromagnetic exchange correlations. In…
In this paper we analyse the importance of a detailed description of the electronic transitions in ultra-small nanoparticles through the optical response to very small changes of size in systems, whose dimensions are in the subnanometric…
The temperatures of interstellar dust grains are analyzed using stochastic simulations, taking into account the grain composition and size and the discreteness of the photon flux. [...] The distribution of grain temperatures is calculated…
The optical properties of rod-like two-layer nanoparticles are studied using the notions of equivalent prolate spheroid. The calculations are presented for frequency dependencies for polarizability and the absorption and scattering…
Small metallic grains which satisfy the conditions of the universal Hamiltonian are considered. It is shown that for such grains the effects of the interactions in the spin channel and in the Cooper channel on their spin magnetization are…
We calculate the absorption efficiency of the composite grains, made up of host silicate spheroids and inclusions of ices/graphites/or voids, in the spectral region $7.0-14.0\mu$m The absorption efficiencies of the composite spheroidal…
Context. Evaporative (sublimation) cooling of icy interstellar grains occurs when the grains have been suddenly heated by a cosmic-ray (CR) particle or other process. It results in thermal desorption of icy species, affecting the chemical…
