Electronic structure and time-dependent description of rotational predissociation of LiH
Adiabatic potential energy curves of the and states of
the LiH molecule have been calculated. They correlate asymptotically to atomic
states, like 2s+1s, 2p+1s, 3s+1s, 3p+1s, 3d+1s, 4s+1s, 4p+1s and 4d+1s. Very
good agreement is found between our calculated spectroscopic parameters and
experimental ones. The dynamics of the rotational predissociation process of
the state has been studied by solving the time-dependent
Schr\"{o}dinger equation. The classical experiment of Velasco [Can. J. Phys.
{35}, 1204 (1957)] on dissociation in the state is explained in
detail
Electronic structure and rovibrational predissociation of the 2sPi state in KLi
Adiabatic potential energy curves of the 3sSigma+, 3tSigma+, 2sPi and 2tPi
states correlating for large internuclear distance with the K(4s) + Li(2p)
atomic asymptote were calculated. Very good agreement between the calculated
and the experimental curve of the 2sPi state allowed for a reliable description
of the dissociation process through a small (20 cm-1 for J = 0) potential
energy barrier. The barrier supports several rovibrational quasi-bound states
and explicit time evolution of these states via the time-dependent nuclear
Schroedinger equation, showed that the state populations decay exponentially in
time. We were able to precisely describe the time-dependent dissociation
process of several rovibrational levels and found that our calculated spectrum
match very well with the assigned experimental spectrum. Moreover, our approach
is able to predict the positions of previously unassigned lines despite their
low intensit

Disorder mediated splitting of the cyclotron resonance in two-dimensional electron systems
We perform a direct study of the magnitude of the anomalous splitting in the
cyclotron resonance (CR) of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) as a
function of sample disorder. In a series of AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells,
identical except for a range of carbon doping in the well, we find the CR
splitting to vanish at high sample mobilities but to increase dramatically with
increasing impurity density and electron scattering rates. This observation
lends strong support to the conjecture that the non-zero wavevector, roton-like
minimum in the dispersion of 2D magnetoplasmons comes into resonance with the
CR, with the two modes being coupled via disorder.Comment: accepted to PRB Rapid Com
Infrared spectroscopy of Landau levels in graphene
We report infrared studies of the Landau level (LL) transitions in single
layer graphene. Our specimens are density tunable and show \textit{in situ}
half-integer quantum Hall plateaus. Infrared transmission is measured in
magnetic fields up to B=18 T at selected LL fillings. Resonances between hole
LLs and electron LLs, as well as resonances between hole and electron LLs are
resolved. Their transition energies are proportional to and the
deduced band velocity is m/s. The lack of
precise scaling between different LL transitions indicates considerable
contributions of many-particle effects to the infrared transition energies.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
