Dressed states forming when quantum emitters or atoms couple to a photonic bath underpin number of phenomena and applications, in particular dispersive effective interactions occurring within bandgaps. Here, we present compact formulation the resolvent-based theory for calculating atom-photon dressed built on idea that atom behaves as an impurity. This establishes explicit connection with stand...

The deployment of in-situ miniature XRD instruments for planetary exploration requires small focus bright X-ray sources that are physically small, lightweight, robust, and power efficient. Existing miniature X-ray tubes are limited by inefficient thermionic electron sources. We have investigated the potential of carbon nanotube (CNT) field emitters for improving the efficiency and durability of...

A quasi-experimental evaluation is employed to assess the compliance behavior of high emitters in response to Atlanta s Inspection and Maintenance program between 1997 and 2001 and to predict the impact of compliance behavior on vehicular tailpipe emissions of ozone precursors, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide. Remote sensing data of a sample of approximately 0.8 million...

This review summarizes recent progress and developments as well as the most important pitfalls in targeted alpha-particle therapy, covering single alpha-particle emitters as well as in vivo alpha-particle generators. It discusses the production of radionuclides like 211At, 223Ra, 225Ac/213Bi, labelling and delivery employing various targeting vectors (small molecules, chelators for alpha-emitti...

Samples for single-emitter spectroscopy are usually prepared by spin-coating a dilute solution of emitters on a microscope cover slip of silicate based glass (such as quartz). Here, we show that both borosilicate glass and quartz contain intrinsic defect colour centres that fluoresce when excited at 532 nm. In a microscope image the defect emission is indistinguishable from spin-coated emitters...

Cyclotron produced isotopes for medical use are classifiable as single photon emitters (201Tl, 123J, ~7Ga), used for planar and tomographic imaging (=SPECT), and as positron emitters (l8F, l~O, 13N, llC) as applied for tomographic organ imaging (=PET). There is a number of generator produced positron emitters. This paper reviews the application in clinical nuclear medicine for cardiology (myoca...
