Realization of a robust single-parameter quantized charge pump
2008
This paper describes a novel scheme for quantized charge pumping based on single-parameter modulation. The device is realized in an AlGaAs-GaAs gated nanowire. A particular advantage of this realization is that operation in the quantized regime can be achieved in a potentially large range of amplitude and dc off-set of the driving signal. This feature together with the simple configuration might enable large scale parallel operation of many such devices.
About the link between the detailed description of transitions in an ion and the average-ion models
2009
We study the link which exists between microscopic (detailed) models for the evolution of the electronic configurations in a population of ions and the macroscopic (average ion) models. Rigorous asymptotics are presented in situations where they exist (large temperature; almost empty or almost full shells), and numerical simulations are presented.
On coronal structures and their variability in active stars: The case of Capella observed with Chandra/LETGS
2003
In this paper we present a detailed analysis of two X-ray spectra of Capella, taken eleven months apart with the Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (LETGS) of the Chandra Observatory. We have studied variability of the coronal emission over different time scales, both in the whole X-ray band and in narrow temperature ranges identified by lines. The comparison of the two observations shows that the whole coronal emission of Capella in March 2000 was 3% higher than in February 2001; there also appears to be a tendency, albeit a marginal one, for the hottest lines to show the largest changes between the two observations. A detailed search for short-term variability (on time scales ra…
Role of Single-Particle Energies in Microscopic Interacting Boson Model Double Beta Decay Calculations
2021
Single-particle level energies form a significant input in nuclear physics calculations where single-particle degrees of freedom are taken into account, including microscopic interacting boson model investigations. The single-particle energies may be treated as input parameters that are fitted to reach an optimal fit to the data. Alternatively, they can be calculated using a mean field potential, or they can be extracted from available experimental data, as is done in the current study. The role of single-particle level energies in the microscopic interacting boson model calculations is discussed with special emphasis on recent double beta decay calculations.
Rare isotopic species of hydrogen sulfide: the rotational spectrum of H236S
2014
The rotational spectrum of the 36 S-bearing isotopologue of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been investigated for the first time in the 167 GHz−1.6 THz frequency range, thus providing an accurate and reliable set of spectroscopic parameters. The experimental investigation was backed up by state-of-the-art quantum-chemical calculations, which also allowed us to demonstrate the incorrectness of the previously reported spectroscopic constants. The present results are of suitable accuracy to attempt the astrophysical detection of the isotopic species under consideration. Finally, reliable predictions for the spectroscopic constants of other rare isotopologues of H2S, namely the mono- and bi-deuterat…
Resonant Raman scattering in quantum wells in high magnetic fields: Deformation-potential interaction.
1992
A theoretical study of one-phonon resonant Raman scattering in a quantum well (QW) in high magnetic fields has been performed. The Raman profiles are calculated as a function of magnetic field, quantum-well thickness, and laser frequency. The basic theory is first developed assuming parabolic masses in the plane perpendicular to the growth direction of the QW. Selection rules for deformation-potential-allowed scattering are given and a compact analytical expression for the Raman-scattering efficiency is obtained for infinite barriers. The double-resonance conditions are derived as a function of the magnetic field or well thickness. In a second part of the work, the heavy-hole\char21{}light-…
Mixing of Two-Quasiparticle Configurations
2007
In this chapter we discuss configuration mixing of two-quasiparticle states. It is caused by the residual interaction remaining beyond the quasiparticle mean field defined in Chap. 13. We derive the equations of motion by the EOM method developed in Sect. 11.1. To accomplish this we need to express the residual Hamiltonian in terms of quasiparticles.
Electric-field-induced Raman scattering in GaAs: Franz-Keldysh oscillations
1995
We have studied the influence of strong electric fields on the Raman scattering intensity from LO phonons in GaAs (100) at room temperature using laser excitation energies above the fundamental ${\mathit{E}}_{0}$ gap. Striking oscillations are found in the scattering intensity for configurations where either the deformation potential or Fr\"ohlich electron-phonon interaction contribute. The oscillations in the deformation-potential-mediated scattering intensity can be related to Franz-Keldysh oscillations derived from the ${\mathit{E}}_{0}$ gap, whereas a more complicated mechanism has to be invoked for processes where Fr\"ohlich interaction is responsible.
Occupation probabilities of single particle levels using the microscopic interacting boson model: Application to some nuclei of interest in neutrinol…
2016
We have developed a new method to calculate the occupancies of single particle levels in atomic nuclei. This method has been developed in the context of the microscopic interacting boson model, in which neutron and proton degrees of freedom are treated explicitly. The energies of the single particle levels constitute a very important input for the calculation of the occupancies in this method. In principle these energies can be considered as input parameters that can be fitted to reproduce the experimental occupancies. Instead of fitting, in this study we have extracted the single particle energies from experimental data on nuclei with a particle more or one particle less than a shell closu…
Neutron halos in the excited states of B12
2018
The differential cross sections of the $^{11}\mathrm{B}(d,p)\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}^{12}\mathrm{B}$ reaction leading to formation of the ${1}^{+}$ ground state and the 0.95-MeV ${2}^{+}$, 1.67-MeV ${2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, 2.62-MeV ${1}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, 2.72-MeV ${0}^{+}$, and 3.39-MeV ${3}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ excited states of $^{12}\mathrm{B}$ are measured at ${E}_{d}$ = 21.5 MeV. The analysis of the data is carried out within the coupled-reaction-channels method for the direct neutron transfer and the Hauser-Feshbach formalism of the statistical compound-nucleus model. The spectroscopic factors, asymptotic normalization coefficients, and rms radii of the last neutron in all states stu…
