The competitive effects of inelastic electron-atom collisions and electron-electron interactions on a sufficiently isotropic electron distribution is considered for a low temperature monatomic plasma. It is presupposed that unbalanced collisional transitions between ground state and resonance level of the plasma atoms are the dominant disturbance effect on the electron distribution. The unbalan...

Terawatt-scale sub-10-fs laser technology – key to generation of GW-level attosecond pulses in X-ray free electron laser Abstract We propose a technique for the production of attosecond X-ray pulses which is based on the use of X-ray SASE FEL combined with a femtosecond laser system. A few-cycle optical pulse from a Ti:sapphire laser interacts with the electron beam in a two-period undulator re...

In a lot of systems, charge transport is governed by local features rather than being a global property as suggested by extracting a single resistance value. Consequently, techniques that resolve local structure in the electronic potential are crucial for a detailed understanding of electronic transport in realistic devices. Recently, we have introduced a new potentiometry method based on low-e...

We study the structure of 2D electronic states in a strong magnetic field in the presence of a large number of resonant scatterers. For an electron in the lowest Landau level, we derive the exact density of states by mapping the problem onto a zero-dimensional field-theoretical model. We demonstrate that the interplay between resonant and nonresonant scattering leads to a nonanalytic energy dep...

density functional (dft) calculations at m05-2x/aug-cc-pvdz level were used to analyze the interactions between dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) dimers. the structures obtained have been analyzed with the atoms in molecules (aims) and natural bond orbital (nbo) methodologies. four minima were located on the potential energy surface of the dimers. three types of interactions are observed, ch•••o, ch•••...

Semiconductor sensitized solar cell interfaces have been studied with photoelectron spectroscopy to understand the interfacial electronic structures. In particular, the experimental energy level alignment has been determined for complete TiO2/metal sulfide/polymer interfaces. For the metal sulfides CdS, Sb2S3 and Bi2S3 deposited from single source metal xanthate precursors, it was shown that bo...
