Optical chaos in nonlinear photonic crystals
We examine a spatial evolution of lightwaves in a nonlinear photonic crystal
with a quadratic nonlinearity when simultaneously a second harmonic and a
sum-frequency generation are quasi-phase-matched. We find the conditions of a
transition to Hamiltonian chaos for different amplitudes of lightwaves at the
boundary of the crystal.Comment: LaTEX2e, 5 pages, 4 figure
Self-consistent approach for the quantum confined Stark effect in shallow quantum wells
A computationally efficient, self-consistent complex scaling approach to
calculating characteristics of excitons in an external electric field in
quantum wells is introduced. The method allows one to extract the resonance
position as well as the field-induced broadening for the exciton resonance. For
the case of strong confinement the trial function is represented in factorized
form. The corresponding coupled self-consistent equations, which include the
effective complex potentials, are obtained. The method is applied to the
shallow quantum well. It is shown that in this case the real part of the
effective exciton potential is insensitive to changes of external electric
field up to the ionization threshold, while the imaginary part has
non-analytical field dependence and small for moderate electric fields. This
allows one to express the exciton quasi-energy at some field through the
renormalized expression for the zero-field bound state.Comment: 13 pages, RevTeX4, 6 figure
Optical models of the molecular atmosphere
The use of optical and laser methods for performing atmospheric investigations has stimulated the development of the optical models of the atmosphere. The principles of constructing the optical models of molecular atmosphere for radiation with different spectral composition (wideband, narrowband, and monochromatic) are considered in the case of linear and nonlinear absorptions. The example of the development of a system which provides for the modeling of the processes of optical-wave energy transfer in the atmosphere is presented. Its physical foundations, structure, programming software, and functioning were considered
Q-phonon description of low lying 1^- two-phonon states in spherical nuclei
The properties of 1^-_1 two-phonon states and the characteristics of E1
transition probabilities between low-lying collective states in spherical
nuclei are analysed within the Q-phonon approach to the description of
collective states. Several relations between observables are obtained.
Microscopic calculations of the E1 0^+_1 -> 1^-_1 transition matrix elements
are performed on the basis of the RPA. A satisfactory description of the
experimental data is obtained.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures, 9 table
Angular distributions of scattered excited muonic hydrogen atoms
Differential cross sections of the Coulomb deexcitation in the collisions of
excited muonic hydrogen with the hydrogen atom have been studied for the first
time. In the framework of the fully quantum-mechanical close-coupling approach
both the differential cross sections for the transitions and
-averaged differential cross sections have been calculated for exotic atom
in the initial states with the principle quantum number at relative
motion energies eV and at scattering angles
. The vacuum polarization shifts of the
-states are taken into account. The calculated in the same approach
differential cross sections of the elastic and Stark scattering are also
presented. The main features of the calculated differential cross sections are
discussed and a strong anisotropy of cross sections for the Coulomb
deexcitation is predicted.Comment: 5 pages, 9 figure
Local video-positioning system for industrial GPR
This article presents a local positioning system working with the industrial GPR OKO-2 (LOGIS) in the process of radio measurements. Here we discuss principles of the positioning system and the method of transferring location data into the GPR system as satellite data. The location uses a video recording of special tapes, which limit the scanning area. Tapes contain the special periodic pattern. A pair of video cameras are placed directly on the GPR body, cameras will register images of the limiting tapes. Results of experimental approbation of the GPR complex confirm the applicability of the system
Ab-initio study of cation-rich InP(001) and GaP(001) surface reconstructions and iodine adsorption
Atomic and electronic structures for a number of InP and GaP (001) surface geometries were studied within the density functional theory (DFT) in order to reexamine the energy stability of surface reconstructions in the cation-rich limit. It is shown that in both cases the mixed dimer (2×4) reconstruction is the energetically favored in the cation rich limit. The ζ(4×2) reconstruction has the lowest surface energy among considered (4×2) surface structures. Comparative theoretical study of iodine adsorption on the semiconductor surface with ζ(4×2) and mixed dimer (2×4) structures was performed. It was shown that iodine prefers to be bonded with dimerized cation atoms irrespective on the surface reconstruction

On the exact Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation for a Dirac spinor in torsion and other CPT and Lorentz violating backgrounds
We discuss the possibility to perform and use the exact Foldy-Wouthuysen
transformation (EFWT) for the Dirac spinor coupled to different CPT and Lorentz
violating terms. The classification of such terms is performed, selecting those
of them which admit EFWT. For the particular example of an axial vector field,
which can be associated with the completely antisymmetric torsion, we construct
an explicit EFWT in the case when only a timelike component of this axial
vector is present. In the cases when EFWT is not possible, one can still use
the corresponding technique for deriving the perturbative Foldy-Wouthuysen
transformation, as is illustrated in a particular example in the Appendix
