Electron Bloch Oscillations and Electromagnetic Transparency of Semiconductor Superlattices in Multi-Frequency Electric Fields
We examine phenomenon of electromagnetic transparency in semiconductor
superlattices (having various miniband dispersion laws) in the presence of
multi-frequency periodic and non-periodic electric fields. Effects of induced
transparency and spontaneous generation of static fields are discussed. We paid
a special attention on a self-induced electromagnetic transparency and its
correlation to dynamic electron localization. Processes and mechanisms of the
transparency formation, collapse, and stabilization in the presence of external
fields are studied. In particular, we present the numerical results of the time
evolution of the superlattice current in an external biharmonic field showing
main channels of transparency collapse and its partial stabilization in the
case of low electron density superlattices
Time-dependent angularly averaged inverse transport
This paper concerns the reconstruction of the absorption and scattering
parameters in a time-dependent linear transport equation from knowledge of
angularly averaged measurements performed at the boundary of a domain of
interest. We show that the absorption coefficient and the spatial component of
the scattering coefficient are uniquely determined by such measurements. We
obtain stability results on the reconstruction of the absorption and scattering
parameters with respect to the measured albedo operator. The stability results
are obtained by a precise decomposition of the measurements into components
with different singular behavior in the time domain
Prediction for new magnetoelectric fluorides
We use symmetry considerations in order to predict new magnetoelectric
fluorides. In addition to these magnetoelectric properties, we discuss among
these fluorides the ones susceptible to present multiferroic properties. We
emphasize that several materials present ferromagnetic properties. This
ferromagnetism should enhance the interplay between magnetic and dielectric
properties in these materials.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, To appear in Journal of Physics: Condensed

Negative high-frequency differential conductivity in semiconductor superlattices
We examine the high-frequency differential conductivity response properties
of semiconductor superlattices having various miniband dispersion laws. Our
analysis shows that the anharmonicity of Bloch oscillations (beyond
tight-binding approximation) leads to the occurrence of negative high-frequency
differential conductivity at frequency multiples of the Bloch frequency. This
effect can arise even in regions of positive static differential conductivity.
The influence of strong electron scattering by optic phonons is analyzed. We
propose an optimal superlattice miniband dispersion law to achieve
high-frequency field amplification
Photoacoustic effect in micro- and nanostructures: numerical simulations of Lagrange equations
The work provides the description of theoretical and numerical modeling techniques of thermomechanical effects that take place in absorbing micro- and nanostructures of different materials under the action of pulsed laser radiation. A proposed technique of the numerical simulation is based on the solution of equations of motion of continuous media in the form of Lagrange for spatially inhomogeneous media. This model allows calculating fields of temperature, pressure, density, and velocity of the medium depending on the parameters of laser pulses and the characteristics of micro- and nanostructures.The work provides the description of theoretical and numerical modeling techniques of thermomechanical effects that take place in absorbing micro- and nanostructures of different materials under the action of pulsed laser radiation.

Spin echo in spinor dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates
We theoretically propose and numerically realize spin echo in a spinor
Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC). We investigate the influence on the spin echo
of phase separation of the condensate. The equation of motion of the spin
density exhibits two relaxation times. We use two methods to separate the
relaxation times and hence demonstrate a technique to reveal magnetic
dipole--dipole interactions in spinor BECs.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
