Multiphoton inner-shell ionization of the carbon atom
We apply time-dependent R-matrix theory to study inner-shell ionization of C
atoms in ultra-short high-frequency light fields with a photon energy between
170 and 245 eV. At an intensity of 10 W/cm, ionization is dominated
by single-photon emission of a electron, with two-photon emission of a
1s electron accounting for about 2-3\% of all emission processes, and
two-photon emission of contributing about 0.5-1\%. Three-photon
emission of a 1s electron is estimated to contribute about 0.01-0.03\%. Around
a photon energy of 225 eV, two-photon emission of a 1s electron, leaving C
in either 1s2s2p or 1s2p is resonantly enhanced by intermediate
1s2s2p states. The results demonstrate the capability of time-dependent
R-matrix theory to describe inner-shell ionization processes including
rearrangement of the outer electrons.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, 2 table
Angular distributions in two-colour two-photon ionization of He
We present R-Matrix with time dependence (RMT) calculations for the
photoionization of helium irradiated by an EUV laser pulse and an overlapping
IR pulse with an emphasis on the anisotropy parameters of the sidebands
generated by the dressing laser field. We investigate how these parameters
depend on the amount of atomic structure included in the theoretical model for
two-photon ionization. To verify the accuracy of the RMT approach, our
theoretical results are compared with experiment.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Electron dynamics in the carbon atom induced by spin-orbit interaction
We use R-Matrix theory with Time dependence (RMT) to investigate multiphoton
ionization of ground-state atomic carbon with initial orbital magnetic quantum
number =0 and =1 at a laser wavelength of 390 nm and peak intensity
of 10 W cm. Significant differences in ionization yield and
ejected-electron momentum distribution are observed between the two values for
. We use our theoretical results to model how the spin-orbit interaction
affects electron emission along the laser polarization axis. Under the
assumption that an initial C atom is prepared at zero time delay with ,
the dynamics with respect to time delay of an ionizing probe pulse modelled
using RMT theory is found to be in good agreement with available experimental
data.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Non-renormalization of two and three Point Correlators of N=4 SYM in N=1 Superspace
Certain two and three point functions of gauge invariant primary operators of
SYM are computed in superspace keeping all the
-components. This allows one to read off many component descendent
correlators. Our results show the only possible corrections to the
free field correlators are contact terms. Therefore they vanish for operators
at separate points, verifying the known non-renormalization theorems. This also
implies the results are consistent with supersymmetry even though
the Lagrangian we use has only manifest supersymmetry. We repeat
some of the calculations using supersymmetric Landau gauge and obtain, as
expected, the same results as those of supersymmetric Feynman gauge.Comment: 10 pages, 20 eps figures, references adde
Phase transitions, entanglement and quantum noise interferometry in cold atoms
We show that entanglement monotones can characterize the pronounced
enhancement of entanglement at a quantum phase transition if they are sensitive
to long-range high order correlations. These monotones are found to develop a
sharp peak at the critical point and to exhibit universal scaling. We
demonstrate that similar features are shared by noise correlations and verify
that these experimentally accessible quantities indeed encode entanglement
information and probe separability.Comment: 4 pages 4 figure
Nonholomorphic N=2 terms in N=4 SYM: 1-Loop Calculation in N=2 superspace
The effective action of N=2 gauge multiplets in general includes
higher-dimension UV finite nonholomorphic corrections integrated with the full
N=2 superspace measure. By adding a hypermultiplet in the adjoint
representation we study the effective action of N=4 SYM. The nonanomalous SU(4)
R-symmetry of the classical N=4 theory must be also present in the on-shell
effective action, and therefore we expect to find similar nonholomorphic terms
for each of the scalars in the hypermultiplet. The N=2 path integral
quantization formalism developed in projective superspace allows us to compute
these hypermultiplet nonholomorphic terms directly in N=2 superspace. The
corresponding gauge multiplet expression can be successfully compared with the
result inferred from a N=1 calculation in the abelian subsector.Comment: 12 pages, LaTex, includes 4 .eps figures, sign convention in path
integral definition changed, sign of nonholomorphic potential change
Numerical Simulation of III-V Solar Cells Using D-AMPS
Numerical simulation of devices plays a crucial role in their design, performance prediction, and comprehension of the fundamental phenomena ruling their operation. Here, we present results obtained using the code D-AMPS-1D, that was conveniently modified to consider the particularities of III-V solar cell devices. This work, that is a continuation of a previous paper regarding solar cells for space applications, is focused on solar cells structures than find application for terrestrial use under concentrated solar illumination. The devices were fabricated at the Solar Energy Institute of the Technical University of Madrid (UPM). The first simulations results on InGaP cells are presented. The influence of band offsets and band bending at the window-emitter interface on the quantum efficiency was studied. A remarkable match of the experimental quantum efficiency was obtained. Finally, numerical simulation of single junction n-p InGaP-Ge solar cells was performed
