Defect Luminescence of LiBaF3 Perovskites
2000
Blue and red luminescence of undoped LiBaF3 crystals was studied. A broad, isotropic photoluminescence band centered at 410 nm can be excited by 210 nm — 275 nm light in as grown crystals. After X-irradiation at RT a new narrower, anisotropic luminescence band appears at 425 mn which has an additional excitation band at 290 nm. The X-irradiation also creates the F- type centres and anisotropic centres with an absorption band at 630 nm and a luminescence band at 700 nm. No F- centre luminescence is observed. All the other centres mentioned act as radiative recombination centers as well. It is speculated that the origin of the blue luminescence is due to oxygen defects and that the red lumine…
Multiparticle azimuthal correlations for extracting event-by-event elliptic and triangular flow in Au + Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV
2019
We present measurements of elliptic and triangular azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles detected at forward rapidity 1<|η|<3 in Au + Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV, as a function of centrality. The multiparticle cumulant technique is used to obtain the elliptic flow coefficients v2{2},v2{4},v2{6}, and v2{8}, and triangular flow coefficients v3{2} and v3{4}. Using the small-variance limit, we estimate the mean and variance of the event-by-event v2 distribution from v2{2} and v2{4}. In a complementary analysis, we also use a folding procedure to study the distributions of v2 and v3 directly, extracting both the mean and variance. Implications for initial geometrical fluctuations and their …
Linear and nonlinear spin dynamics in multi-domain magnetoelastic antiferromagnets
2021
Antiferromagnets have recently surged as the prominent material platform for the next generation spintronics devices. Despite the remarkable abundance of antiferromagnets and the variety of their spin textures in nature, they share a widely common, if not ubiquitous, feature. Magnetoelasticity, which is expressed as strictions of different origin, relativistic and/or exchange, significantly contributes to the magnetic anisotropy of antiferromagnets. Crucially, a general theoretical framework able to address the role of domain walls on the spin dynamics in antiferromagnets in the presence of magnetoelasticity is lacking. Here we tackle this problem developing a very general macroscopic pheno…

A Unified Phenomenological Description of Quadrupole Excitations in Even-Even Nuclei
1976
A phenomenological model is developed for the collective quadrupole properties of all even-even nuclei. Rotational. vibrational and transitional nuclei are included in the model on an equal footing. A Bohr-type intrinsic Hamiltonian for harmonic quadrupole vibrations about an axially deformed shape is solved exactly. States of good angular momentum are projected out of the intrinsic states, and they are made orthogonal by a Schmidt scheme. The angular-momentum and phonon-number composition of the states is analyzed at various stages; states with K = 1 are found spurious. Excitation energies for the ground, β, and γ bands are calculated as expectation values of a radically simplified nuclear…
Modelling the properties of magnetic clusters with complex structures: how symmetry can help us
2020
The purpose of this article is to answer the question of how symmetry helps us to investigate and understand the properties of nanoscopic magnetic clusters with complex structures. The systems of choice will be the three types of polyoxometalates (POMs): (1) POMs containing localised spins; (2) reduced mixed-valence (MV) POMs; (3) partially delocalised POMs in which localised and delocalised subunits coexist and interact. The theoretical tools based on various kinds of symmetry are the following: (1) irreducible tensor operator (ITO) approach based on the so-called 'spin-symmetry' and MAGPACK program; (2) group-theoretical assignment of the exchange multiplets based on spin- and point symme…
The Cotton-Mouton effect of Neon and Argon: a benchmark study using highly correlated coupled cluster wave functions
2004
The Cotton-Mouton effect (magnetic field induced linear birefringence) has been studied for neon and argon using state-of-the-art coupled cluster techniques. The coupled cluster singles, doubles and triples (CCSDT) approach has been used to obtain static benchmark results and the CC3 model with an approximate treatment of triple excitations to obtain frequency-dependent results. In the case of neon the effect of excitations beyond triples has also been estimated via coupled cluster calculations including quadruple excitations (CCSDTQ), pentuple excitations (CCSDTQP), etc. up to the full configuration-interaction level. The results obtained for the anisotropy of the hypermagnetizability Delt…
Inhomogeneous space-times admitting isotropic radiation: Vorticity-free case
1992
The energy-momentum tensor of space-times admitting a vorticity-free and a shear-free timelike congruence is obtained. This result is used to write Einstein equations in a convenient way in order to get inhomogeneous space-times admitting an isotropic distribution of photons satisfying the Liouville equation. Two special cases with anisotropic pressures in the energy flow direction are considered.
Secondary gravitational anisotropies in open universes
1998
The applicability of the potential approximation in the case of open universes is tested. Great Attractor-like structures are considered in the test. Previous estimates of the Cosmic Microwave background anisotropies produced by these structures are analyzed and interpreted. The anisotropies corresponding to inhomogeneous ellipsoidal models are also computed. It is proved that, whatever the spatial symmetry may be, Great Attractor-like objects with extended cores (radius $\sim 10h^{-1}$),located at redshift $z=5.9$ in an open universe with density parameter $\Omega_{0}=0.2$, produce secondary gravitational anisotropies of the order of $10^{-5}$ on angular scales of a few degrees. This aniso…
