The column density distribution of trapped OH$^-$ ions in a 22-pole ion trap is measured for different trap parameters. The density is obtained from position-dependent photodetachment rate measurements. Overall, agreement is found with the…
A density functional theory is used to investigate the instability arising in superfluid $^4$He as it flows at velocity u just above the Landau critical velocity of rotons v_c. Confirming an early theoretical prediction by one of us [JETP…
Properties of point defects resulting from the incorporation of inert-gas atoms in bcc tungsten are investigated systematically using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The most stable configuration for the…
We propose an approach for studying quantum information and performing high resolution spectroscopy of rotational states of trapped molecular ions using an on-chip superconducting microwave resonator. Molecular ions have several advantages…
Magnetic impurities coupled antiferromagnetically to a one-dimensional Heisenberg model are studied by numerical diagonalization of chains of finite clusters. By calculating the binding energy and the correlation function, it is shown that…
Quantum magnetometry represents a fundamental component of quantum metrology, where trapped-ion systems have achieved $\rm{pT}/\sqrt{\rm{Hz}}$ sensitivity in single-ion radio-frequency magnetic field measurements via dressed states based…
Experiments on (Ga,Mn)As in the low-doping insulating phase have shown evidence for the presence of an impurity band at 110 meV above the valence band. The motivation of this paper is to investigate the role of the impurity band in…
Using density functional theory, we investigate the structure of mixed $^3$He$_{N_3}$-$^4$He$_{N_4}$ droplets with an embedded impurity (Xe atom or HCN molecule) which pins a quantized vortex line. We find that the…
Radiofrequency (RF) traps enable highly controlled interactions between charged particles, including reactions between cold molecular ions, sympathetic cooling of one ion species with another, and quantum logic spectroscopy. However, the…
We use a novel technique to solvate silver cations in small clusters of noble gases. The technique involves formation of large, superfluid helium nanodroplets that are subsequently electron ionized, mass-selected by deflection in an…
Sufficient conditions are found on the ion velocity distribution $f_i$ and potential amplitude for stability of steady electron holes moving at slow speeds, coinciding with the bulk of $f_i$. Fully establishing stability requires…
We investigate the motional dynamics of single and multiple ions during transport between and separation into spatially distinct locations in a multi-zone linear Paul trap. A single 9Be+ ion in a 2 MHz harmonic well located in one zone was…
Protonated water clusters are a common species of atmospheric molecular cluster-ion, produced by cosmic rays throughout the troposphere and stratosphere. Under clear-sky conditions or periods of increased atmospheric ionisation, such as…
We report our successful implementation of the full fledged relativistic equation of motion coupled cluster (EOMCC) method. This method is employed to compute the principal ionization potentials (IPs) of closed-shell rare gas atoms, He-like…
We revisit the process of gravitational sedimentation of helium and heavy elements in the intra-cluster medium. We find that helium applies an inward drag force on heavy elements, boosting their sedimentation speed to nearly half its own.…
We consider an electron magnetically interacting with a spin-1/2 impurity, embedded in an external environment whose noisy term acts only on the impurity's spin, and we find expressions for the electron transmission and reflection…
Theoretical study of heavy ion acceleration from ultrathin (<200 nm) gold foils irradiated by a short pulse laser is presented. Using two dimensional particle-in-cell simulations the time history of the laser bullet is examined in order to…
The capture of trapped ultracold neutrons (UCNs) by closed hydrogenous impurities within a solid coating of the trap is discussed as a possible cause of observed anomalously large losses of UCNs in solid material UCN traps. Then significant…
Magnetic and transport properties of Ge(1-x-y)Mn(x)Eu(y)Te crystals with chemical compositions 0.041 < x < 0.092 and 0.010 < y < 0.043 are studied. Ferromagnetic order is observed at 150 < T < 160 K. Aggregation of magnetic ions into…
We consider a mobile impurity immersed in a Bose gas at finite temperature. Using perturbation theory valid for weak coupling between the impurity and the bosons, we derive analytical results for the energy and damping of the impurity for…
