“On the fly” characterization of YbIII:ErIII co-doped upconversion nanoparticle nonlinear optical response from single-particle trajectories
Spectroscopic characterization of individual nanoparticles is essential for understanding their structure-property relationship and for applications. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) in condensed phases can undergo both nonlinear optical and stochastic dynamics when interacting with near-infrared sources. By integrating optical trapping microspectroscopy, stochastic dynamics and light-matter interactions experiments and simulations, in the present work we study how individual trajectories of YbIII:ErIII co-doped UCNPs can be used to perform “on the fly” characterization of their nonlinear optical power-law response upon near-infrared excitation. We illustrate the methodology in the case of freely diffusing and optically trapped UCNPs as well as with particles bound to the substrate. The approach presented in this work can be applied to UCNPs with varying composition and morphological features, particularly in single-particle studies.Fil: Cavalcante, Isabela N..

Crossing Symmetry Violation of Unitarized Pion-Pion Amplitude in the Resonance Region
Pion-pion scattering amplitude obtained from one-loop Chiral Perturbation
Theory (ChPT) is crossing symmetric, however the corresponding partial wave
amplitudes do not respect exact unitarity relation. There are different
approaches to get unitarized partial wave amplitudes from ChPT. Here we
consider the inverse amplitude method (IAM) that is often used to fit pion-pion
phase shifts to experimental data, by adjusting free parameters. We measure the
amount of crossing symmetry violation (CSV) in this case and we show that
crossing symmetry is badly violated by the IAM unitarized ChPT amplitude in the
resonance region. Important CSV also occurs when all free parameters are set
equal to zero.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Nucleon-nucleon interaction in the Skyrme model
We consider the interaction of two skyrmions in the framework of the sudden
approximation. The widely used product ansatz is investigated. Its failure in
reproducing an attractive central potential is associated with terms that
violate G-parity. We discuss the construction of alternative ans\"atze and
identify a plausible solution to the problem.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figure
