Observation of Coulomb-Assisted Dipole-Forbidden Intraexciton Transitions in Semiconductors
We use terahertz pulses to induce resonant transitions between the
eigenstates of optically generated exciton populations in a high-quality
semiconductor quantum-well sample. Monitoring the excitonic photoluminescence,
we observe transient quenching of the exciton emission, which we attribute
to the terahertz-induced -to- excitation. Simultaneously, a pronounced
enhancement of the -exciton emission is observed, despite the -to-
transition being dipole forbidden. A microscopic many-body theory explains the
experimental observations as a Coulomb-scattering mixing of the 2 and 2
states, yielding an effective terahertz transition between the 1 and 2
populations.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Neurotoxins from Sea Anemones. Purification and Characterisation of Four Polypeptides with Neurotoxic Activity from Condylactis aurantiaca
Workshop on the Further Development of the New IBTS Gear (WKFDNG). ICES Scientific Reports. 4:18
The standard gear for the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS), a fisheries-independent research survey originating from the 1960s, will be replaced. The long-term monitoring pro-vides data on commercial pelagic and demersal fish species for stock assessments and facili-tates examination of changes in fish distribution and abundance. The remit of this Workshop on the Further Development of the New IBTS Gear (WKFDNG) was to design a simple gear, as standardised as possible, robust, and easy to maintain. Additionally, the workshop was tasked to provide input for the roadmap towards implementation of the new gear
