A solvable model for excitonic complexes in one dimension
It is known experimentally that stable few-body clusters containing
negatively-charged electrons (e) and positively-charged holes (h) can exist in
low-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures. In addition to the familiar
exciton (e+h), three-body 'charged excitons' (2e+h and 2h+e) have also been
observed. Much less is known about the properties of such charged excitons
since three-body problems are generally very difficult to solve, even
numerically. Here we introduce a simple model, which can be considered as an
extended Calogero model, to calculate analytically the energy spectra for both
a charged exciton and a neutral exciton in a one-dimensional nanostructure,
such as a finite-length quantum wire. Apart from its physical motivation, the
model is of mathematical interest in that it can be related to the Heun (or
Heine) equation and, as shown explicitly, highly accurate, closed form
solutions can be obtained.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, To appear in J. Math. Phy

High pressure cosmochemistry applied to major planetary interiors: Experimental studies
The infrared spectra of H2O ice VII and D2O ice VII were studied and techniques were developed for measuring adiabats of phases of NH3-H2O to 5 GPa. A mixing system for pressurized fluids was constructed in which liquid solutions of definite compositions can be prepared and loaded reliably into diamond cells in a project which seeks to determine the properties and boundaries of several high pressure phases of the H2-He-H2O-NH3-CH4 system. These data are needed to constrain theoretical models of the interiors of the major planets

High pressure cosmochemistry applied to major planetary interiors: Experimental studies
Progress is reported in the development of the P-T-X diagram for 0 less than or = X less than or = 0.50 and in the development of techniques for measuring adiabats of phases of NH3-H2O. The partial phase diagram is presented, investigations of the compositions of ammonia ices are described, and methods for obtaining the infrared spectra of ices are discussed
