Nonintrusive monitoring and quantitative analysis of strong laser-field-induced impulsive alignment
2004
We report the observation of impulsive alignment of $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ molecules produced through their interaction with a nonresonant, strong laser pulse. The periodic alignment is monitored using a polarization technique generally employed in optical Kerr effect experiments; the birefringence produced by alignment of the molecular sample is measured with a weak pulse, time-delayed with respect to the alignment pulse. The technique provides a signal proportional to $⟨{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\theta}⟩\ensuremath{-}\frac{1}{3}$, where $\ensuremath{\theta}$ is the polar angle between the molecular axis and the strong-field polarization axis. Experimen…
Storia dell'Arte in Europa. Inghilterra
2014
Il saggio si offre come guida alla lettura dei maggiori fenomeni artistici fioriti in Inghilterra nel XIX secolo e affronta la genesi e lo sviluppo di tendenze e movimenti straordinari che si estendono dal Gothic Revival alle Arts and Crafts, dai Preraffaelliti all'Aesthetic Movement, dal Japonisme all'Art Nouveau. Il volume, ampiamente illustrato e corredato di bibliografia aggiornata, traccia un quadro storico-critico dell'età vittoriana senza tralasciare l'analisi delle maggiori opere d'arte dell'epoca, realizzata da artisti quali William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Albert Moore, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Aubrey Beardsley e molti altri autori, oggi al centro di un rinnovato interesse da …
Field-free two-direction alignment alternation of linear molecules by elliptic laser pulses
2005
We show that a linear molecule subjected to a short specific elliptically polarized laser field yields postpulse revivals exhibiting alignment alternatively located along the orthogonal axis and the major axis of the ellipse. The effect is experimentally demonstrated by measuring the optical Kerr effect along two different axes. The conditions ensuring an optimal field-free alternation of high alignments along both directions are derived.
The "intimate enemies": Edward Dowden, W. B. Yeats and the formation of character
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Nordic Journal of English Studies. Also available from the publisher at: http://ojs.ub.gu.se/ojs/index.php/njes/article/view/2917 Open Access Stung by Edward Dowden's reluctance to endorse the Irish Literary Revival, W. B. Yeats distanced himself publicly from the TCD Professor. This act of distancing has largely been accepted by subsequent scholarship as a reflection of Dowden's lack of influence on Yeats. Despite obvious disagreements on some key points, this essay will argue that Yeats is close to Dowden on a number of issues, by tracing their intimate dialogue about the writings of George Eliot, Shakespeare and Goethe. The concept of forma…
Shining castles and humans of metal/floral appearance ? metaphorical language in the Palaiologan romances Kallimachos and Velthandros
2019
About eight centuries after Heliodorus, the Greek novel resurfaced in the twelfth century, in Komnenian Byzantium, and again two centuries later under the Palaiologan dynasty. This latter literary revival was due to the political stability of the imperial Byzantine government, which promoted cultural production, rhetorical education, and patronage networks. Kallimachos and Velthandros, two Palaiologan romances presented as court literature, combine ancient and medieval tropes with rhetorical artistry to blur the boundaries between the artificial and the natural. Castles and objects made of precious metals thus resemble living, natural spaces, and human characters are portrayed in metallurgi…
Savigny a Bethmann-Hollweg, 27 agosto 1817: diritto e fede nella Historische Rechtsschule
2020
An unpublished letter written by Savigny to Bethmann-Hollweg in August 1817 provides a starting point for thinking about the relationship between the religious ideology of the Christian Revival (Erweckungsbewegung) , Prussian nationalism and the concept of law within the German Historical School.
La piedra foral: la arquitectura gótica en Valencia como vestigio de una edad de oro
2018
La piedra fue considerada en Valencia no sólo un valioso material de construcción, sino también un precioso recuerdo del período posterior a la conquista cristiana en el siglo XIII, cuando se estableció un nuevo orden social en el antiguo Reino de Valencia. Desde entonces hasta 1707, fecha de los decretos de Nueva Planta que abolieron los privilegios y los fueros del antiguo reino, se extiende un largo período idealizado por los cronistas e historiadores del siglo XIX como una edad de oro. La arquitectura gótica en Valencia fue juzgada según los estándares políticos y culturales como el principal vestigio de ese esplendor perdido desde el Romanticismo en adelante y especialmente por el movi…
Field-free molecular alignment for probing collisional relaxation dynamics
2013
International audience; We report the experimental study of field-free molecular alignment in CO2 gas mixtures induced by intense femtosecond laser pulses in the presence of collisional processes. We demonstrate that the alignment signals exhibit specific features due to nontrivial collisional propensity rules that tend to preserve the orientation of the rotational angular momentum of the molecules. The analysis is performed with a quantum approach based on the modeling of rotational J- and M-dependent state-to-state transfer rates. The present work paves the way for strong-field spectroscopy of collisional dynamics.
