A common optical algorithm for the evaluation of specular spin polarized neutron and Mössbauer reflectivities
2001
Using the general approach of Lax for multiple scattering of waves a 2x2 covariant expression for the reflectivity of polarized slow neutrons of a magnetic layer structure of arbitrary complexity is given including polarization effects of the external magnetic field. The present formalism is identical to the earlier published one for the (nuclear) resonant X-ray (Mossbauer) reflectivity and properly takes the effect of the external magnetic field of arbitrary direction on the neutron beam into account. The form of the reflectivity matrix allows for an efficient numerical calculation.
Molecular polarizability of semiconductor clusters and nanostructures
2002
Abstract The interacting-induced-dipoles polarization model implemented in program PAPID is used for the calculation of the molecular dipole–dipole polarizability α . The method is tested with Si n , Ge n and GanAsm small clusters. On varying the number of atoms, the clusters show numbers indicative of particularly polarizable structures. The results for the polarizability are in agreement with reference calculations from Chelikowsky. The bulk limit for the polarizability is estimated from the Clausius–Mossotti relationship. The polarizability trend for these clusters as a function of size is different from what one might have expected. The clusters are all more polarizable than what one mi…
Measurement and interpretation of the polarization of the x-ray line emission of heliumlike Fe XXV excited by an electron beam
1996
The linear polarization of the 1s2p${\mathrm{}}^{1}$${\mathit{P}}_{1}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}1${\mathit{s}}^{2}$${\mathrm{}}^{1}$${\mathit{S}}_{0}$ resonance line, the 1s2p${\mathrm{}}^{3}$${\mathit{P}}_{1,2}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}1${\mathit{s}}^{2}$${\mathrm{}}^{1}$${\mathit{S}}_{0}$ intercombination lines, and the 1s2s${\mathrm{}}^{3}$${\mathit{S}}_{1}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}1${\mathit{s}}^{2}$${\mathrm{}}^{1}$${\mathit{S}}_{0}$ forbidden line was measured in heliumlike Fe XXV excited near threshold by a monoenergetic electron beam. The measurement was carried out with a high-resolution x-ray spectrometer employing a set of two analyzing crystals that acted as polarizers by selectivel…
Elastic waves propagation in 1D fractional non-local continuum
2008
Aim of this paper is the study of waves propagation in a fractional, non-local 1D elastic continuum. The non-local effects are modeled introducing long-range central body interactions applied to the centroids of the infinitesimal volume elements of the continuum. These non-local interactions are proportional to a proper attenuation function and to the relative displacements between non-adjacent elements. It is shown that, assuming a power-law attenuation function, the governing equation of the elastic waves in the unbounded domain, is ruled by a Marchaud-type fractional differential equation. Wave propagation in bounded domain instead involves only the integral part of the Marchaud fraction…
Random quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium tantalate
2010
We observe second harmonic generation via random quasi-phase-matching in a 2.0 micron periodically poled, 1-cm-long, z-cut lithium tantalate. Away from resonance, the harmonic output profiles exhibit a characteristic pattern stemming from a stochastic domain distribution and a quadratic growth with the fundamental excitation, as well as a broadband spectral response. The results are in good agreement with a simple model and numerical simulations in the undepleted regime, assuming an anisotropic spread of the random nonlinear component.

COMPRESSION OF ENVELOPE SOLITONS IN NONLINEAR ELECTRICAL LINES
1989
Resume : La propagation des solitons enveloppe dans les lignes non lineaires de transmission electrique et de transmission Josephson est etudiee sous l'aspect theorique et en simulation numerique. Dans l'approximation des milieux continus et la limite des faibles amplitudes, les equations caracteristiques de ces lignes se ramenent a l'equation NLS . La solution "a deux solitons enveloppe" se propage parfaitement dans les lignes considerees avec des phenomenes de recurrence et de compression d'enveloppe. Ceci est observe egalement pour des profils d'excitation non solution de NLS, ce qui est d'un grand interet pour les applications pratiques.
Efficient control of the energy exchange due to the Manakov vector-soliton collision
2003
By examining the concept of energy exchange among the orthogonally polarized components of each of two colliding (Manakov-like) vector solitons it is observed that a maximum or an efficient energy-exchange process is possible only for an appropriate choice of the initial physical parameters (namely, frequency separation, polarizations, time delay, and pulse-width separation between the colliding solitons) for which L(W) (walk-off length) >>L(NL) (nonlinear length). However, in this case only, the amount of energy-exchange can be considerably increased or decreased by appropriately changing the phases of colliding solitons without altering the walk-off length and the initial energy distribut…
A polarized 3He target for the photon beam at MAMI
2011
Abstract A polarized 3 He target has been installed for the first time inside the 4 π Crystal Ball detector at the tagged photon beam of the MAinz MIcrotron (MAMI). It has been demonstrated that the system works reliably and that the polarization losses during handling of the polarized gas are under control. Initial polarization values up to 70% and total relaxation times up to 20 h could be obtained during a first test beam time devoted to the measurement of the double polarized photoabsorption cross-section in the Δ ( 1232 ) baryon resonance region.
Quasi-elastic polarization-transfer measurements on the deuteron in anti-parallel kinematics
2019
We present measurements of the polarization-transfer components in the H2(e→,e′p→) reaction, covering a previously unexplored kinematic region with large positive (anti-parallel) missing momentum, pmiss, up to 220MeV/c, and Q2=0.65 (GeV/c)2. These measurements, performed at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI), were motivated by theoretical calculations which predict small final-state interaction (FSI) effects in these kinematics, making them favorable for searching for medium modifications of bound nucleons in nuclei. We find in this kinematic region that the measured polarization-transfer components Px and Pz and their ratio agree with the theoretical calculations, which use free-proton form factor…
Measurement of double-polarization asymmetries in the quasi-elastic Process
2018
We report on a precise measurement of double-polarization asymmetries in electron-induced breakup of He3 proceeding to pd and ppn final states, performed in quasi-elastic kinematics at Q2=0.25(GeV/c)2 for missing momenta up to 250MeV/c. These observables represent highly sensitive tools to investigate the electromagnetic and spin structure of He3 and the relative importance of two- and three-body effects involved in the breakup reaction dynamics. The measured asymmetries cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by state-of-the-art calculations of He3 unless their three-body segment is adjusted, indicating that the spin-dependent part of the nuclear interaction governing the three-body breakup pr…
