Using interdisciplinary fields relevant to a highly excited semiconductor — nonequilibrium phenomena in high density plasma, light-induced changes of optical properties, and dynamic holography, we developed time-resolved four-wave mixing technique for monitoring the spatial and temporal carrier dynamics in wide band-gap semiconductors. This opened a new possibility to analyse fast electronic pr...

Our objectives are to use both acoustic remote sensing and in situ profile observations of large amplitude internal waves, together with highly resolved numerical simulation, so as to develop a predictive understanding of their behavior, with application to their generation by flow past topography, their contribution to mass and momentum transport, mixing, modulation of near surface bubble clou...

The VLT-Flames Survey for Massive Stars [1, 2] provides precise measurements of rotational velocities and nitrogen surface abundances of massive stars in the Magellanic Clouds. Specifically, for the first time, such abundances have been estimated for stars with significant rotational velocities. This extraordinary data set gives us the unique possibility to calibrate rotationally and magnetical...

In water supply channels, the brusque operation of control gates may induce large unsteady flow motion called surges. Such a rapid operation of gates must often be restricted, although it may be conducted to scour silted channels and sewers. Herein a physical study was conducted under controlled flow conditions to study the turbulent mixing in the very-close vicinity of a rapidly opening/closin...

We show that a typical interval exchange transformation is either weakly mixing or it is an irrational rotation. We also conclude that a typical translation flow on a surface of genus g ≥ 2 (with prescribed singularity types) is weakly mixing.

Abstract. The see-saw mechanism to generate small neutrino masses is reviewed. After summarizing our current knowledge about the low energy neutrino mass matrix we consider reconstructing the see-saw mechanism. Low energy neutrino physics is not sufficient to reconstruct see-saw, a feature which we refer to as “see-saw degeneracy”. Indirect tests of see-saw are leptogenesis and lepton flavor vi...

We demonstrate nonlinear excitation of surface plasmons on a gold film by optical four-wave mixing. Two excitation beams of frequencies omega(1) and omega(2) are used in a modified Kretschmann configuration to induce a nonlinear polarization at a frequency of omega(4wm)=2omega(1)-omega(2), which gives rise to surface plasmon excitation at a frequency of omega(4wm). We observe a characteristic p...

Sea temperature structures are important for water stratification and marine ecosystems. In the coastal of Muping, China, stationary measurements sea captured temporal changes during two summer storm events. The north component wind storms was opposite. responded differently to directions in A well-validated numerical ocean model used investigate mechanism variation coast Muping. revealed that ...
