Vibrational angular momentum level densities of linear molecules

On the angular momentum dependence of nuclear level densities

Angular momentum dependence of nuclear level densities at finite temperatures are investigated in the static path approximation(SPA) to the partition function using a cranked quadrupole interaction Hamiltonian in the following three schemes: (i) cranking about x-axis, (ii) cranking about z-axis and (iii) cranking about z-axis but correcting for the orientation fluctuation of the axis. Performin...

Linear up-conversion of orbital angular momentum.

We experimentally demonstrated that infrared light imprinted with orbital angular momentum (OAM) was linearly converted into visible light using four-wave mixing (FWM) via a ladder-type configuration in 85Rb atoms. Simultaneously, we theoretically simulated this linear conversion process, and the theoretical analysis was in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. A large single-phot...

Do waves carrying orbital angular momentum possess azimuthal linear momentum?

All beams are a superposition of plane waves, which carry linear momentum in the direction of propagation with no net azimuthal component. However, plane waves incident on a hologram can produce a vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum that seems to require an azimuthal linear momentum, which presents a paradox. We resolve this by showing that the azimuthal momentum is not a true linear ...

Energy-momentum and angular momentum densities in gauge theories of gravity

In the Poincaré gauge theory of gravity, which has been formulated on the basis of a principal fiber bundle over the space-time manifold having the covering group of the proper orthochronous Poincaré group as the structure group, we examine the tensorial properties of the dynamical energy-momentum density Tk μ and the “spin” angular momentum density Skl μ of the gravitational field. They are bo...
