Acoustic Fields and Waves in Solids
This work, part of a two-volume set, applies the material developed in the Volume One to various boundary value problems (reflection and refraction at plane surfaces, composite ...
Quantum phase transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator in a gas of ultracold atoms
For a system at a temperature of absolute zero, all thermal fluctuations are frozen out, while quantum fluctuations prevail. These microscopic quantum fluctuations can induce a ...
Experimental Determination of the Extinction Coefficient of CdTe, CdSe, and CdS Nanocrystals
The extinction coefficient per mole of nanocrystals at the first exitonic absorption peak, ε, for high-quality CdTe, CdSe, and CdS nanocrystals was found to be strongly dependen...
Acceleration and Trapping of Particles by Radiation Pressure
Micron-sized particles have been accelerated and trapped in stable optical potential wells using only the force of radiation pressure from a continuous laser. It is hypothesized...
Maximally localized generalized Wannier functions for composite energy bands
We discuss a method for determining the optimally localized set of generalized Wannier functions associated with a set of Bloch bands in a crystalline solid. By ''generalized Wa...
