In this paper we report on our theoretical studies of various aspects of the correlated stopping power of two pointlike ions (a dicluster) moving in close but variable vicinity of each other in some metallic target materials, the latter being modeled by a degenerate electron gas with appropriate densities. Within the linear-response theory we have made a comprehensive investigation of correlate...

We calculate the off-diagonal density matrix of the homogeneous electron gas at zero temperature using unbiased reptation Monte Carlo calculations for various densities and extrapolate the momentum distribution and the kinetic and potential energies to the thermodynamic limit. Our results on the renormalization factor allow us to validate approximate G0W0 calculations concerning quasiparticle p...

Email of the presenting author: [email protected] Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is an established method to investigate uncoated insulators, organic or biological samples in their original state. The presence of the imaging gas inside the specimen chamber is responsible for the secondary electron (SE) detection caused by gas amplification and the generated ...

An experiment of He gas-contact for generating population inversion in a recombining Ar plasma jet is carried out. Population inversion between Ar I excited states 5s′ → 4p′[1/2]1 and 5s′ → 4p[3/2]1,2, [5/2]2,3 is created by helium gas-contact cooling of electrons, whereas it is not created without gas-contact. Ar I lines 1.14 μm, 1.34 μm, and 1.09 μm are strongly enhnced due to the He gas cool...

The detection of partial discharge and analysis of the composition and content of sulfur hexafluoride SF₆ gas components are important to evaluate the operating state and insulation level of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) equipment. This paper reported a novel sensing material made of pure ZnO and NiO-decorated ZnO nanoflowers which were synthesized by a facile and environment friendly hydrothe...

A recent theory of magnetic field amplification in electron holes is extended to derive the magnetic susceptibility of an electron-hole gas propagating in a magnetic flux tube along the ambient magnetic field. It is shown that the hole gas behaves diamagnetic adding some small amount to the well-known Landau susceptibility in the hole-carrying volume.

The femtosecond inter-Landau-level dynamics of a two-dimensional electron gas in a large magnetic field is investigated by degenerate four-wave mixing on modulation doped quantum wells. We observe a large transfer of oscillator strength to the lowest Landau level, and unusual dynamics due to Coulomb correlation. We interpret the effects using a model based on shakeup of the electron gas.

The self-consistent theory of Singwi, Tosi, Land and Sjolander (STLS), which accounts for exchange and short-range correlation effects through an effective potential depending on the structure factor, is generalized to the Visscher and Falicov model of the layered electron gas. The complete numerical solution of the STLS self-consistent equations provides information about intraplane and inter...

A common approach to the many-electron problem (atoms, molecules and solids) is its transformation into a fewer-particle problem. In Density Functional Theory 2 (DFT) one rewrites the ground-state energy of a many-electron system as a functional of just the one-electron density n(r), the diagonal part of the oneparticle reduced density matrix. In recent years, much attention has been devoted to...

Electron acceleration by a laser pulse having a Gaussian radial and temporal profile of intensity has been studied. The interaction region is vacuum followed by a gas. The starting point of the gas region has been chosen around the point at which the peak of the pulse interacts with the electron. The tunnel ionization of the gas causes a defocusing of the laser pulse and the electron experience...
