Two-particle Kapitza-Dirac diffraction
We extend the study of Kapitza-Dirac diffraction to the case of two-particle
systems. Due to the exchange effects the shape and visibility of the
two-particle detection patterns show important differences for identical and
distinguishable particles. We also identify a novel quantum statistics effect
present in momentum space for some values of the initial particle momenta,
which is associated with different numbers of photon absorptions compatible
with the final momenta.Comment: Minor changes with the published versio
Higher Derivative Fermionic Field Equation in the First Order Formalism
The generalized Dirac equation of the third order, describing particles with
spin 1/2 and three mass states, is analyzed. We obtain the first order
generalized Dirac equation in the 24-dimensional matrix form. The mass and spin
projection operators are found which extract solutions of the wave equation
corresponding to pure spin states of particles. The density of the
electromagnetic current is obtained, and minimal and non-minimal (anomalous)
electromagnetic interactions of fermions are considered by introducing three
phenomenological parameters. The Hamiltonian form of the first order equation
has been obtained.Comment: 16 pages, title changed, new section, appendixes, and references

Association of point defects in non-stoichiometric M1-x Rx F2+x fluorite-type solid solutions
Gaussian modeling and Schmidt modes of SPDS biphoton states
A double-Gaussian model and the Schmidt modes are found for the biphoton wave
function characterizing spontaneous parametric down-conversion with the
degenerate collinear phase-matching of the type I and with a pulsed pump. The
obtained results are valid for all durations of the pump pulses, short, long
and intermediately long
Two-color interference stabilization of atoms
The effect of interference stabilization is shown to exist in a system of two
atomic levels coupled by a strong two-color laser field, the two frequencies of
which are close to a two-photon Raman-type resonance between the chosen levels,
with open channels of one-photon ionization from both of them. We suggest an
experiment, in which a rather significant (up to 90%) suppression of ionization
can take place and which demonstrates explicitly the interference origin of
stabilization. Specific calculations are made for H and He atoms and optimal
parameters of a two-color field are found. The physics of the effect and its
relation with such well-known phenomena as LICS and population trapping in a
three-level system are discussed.Comment: the paper includes 1 TeX file and 16 picture
