We report experimental hyperfine structure constants of levels in the neutral manganese atom, measured using Fourier transform spectroscopy of hollow cathode...
The stationary behavior of axisymmetric vortex and vortex-like states of a Bose-Einstein condensate are described numerically and analytically. Both extended...

Carrier-envelope phase stabilization of few cycle optical pulses has recently been realized. This advance in femtosecond technology is important in both extreme...
We present in this paper an analytical model for a cold bosonic gas on an optical lattice (with densities of the order of 1 particle per site) targeting the...

An intercomparision of the spectral radiance scales of the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the...
A nuclear spin can act as a quantum switch that turns on or off ultracold collisions between atoms even when there is neither interaction between nuclear spins...

Two independent mode-locked femtosecond lasers are tightly synchronized and phase locked. The rms timing jitter between the lasers is 4.3 fs within a 160 Hz...
We investigate controlled collisions between trapped but separated ultracold atoms. The interaction between atoms is treated self consistently using an energy...
Coherent vibrational and rotational dynamics of the Li 2 molecule is controlled by varying the relative phases, φ n, of the rovibrational wave packet components...

The electron-sodium system is an excellent prototype of non-relativistic electron scattering from a quasi-one-electron atomic target, and is tractable both...
A good approximation for the electron self-energy or the electron quasiparticle properties is needed for an accurate calculation of x-ray absorption spectra...

We observe Bose-Elinstein condensation (BEC) in a dilute atomic gas cooled below 170 nK. 87Rb atoms are optically trapped and precooled loaded into a magnetic...
The electronic structure of GaAs and CdSe nanocrystals is studied by using a nearest-neighbor tight-binding model extended to include d orbitals. Our results...

Identification and evaluation of factors important for thermostability in proteins is a growing research field with many industrial applications. This study...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) from normal metabolism cause damage to DNA, protein and lipid (fat). By developing an oxidative DNA damage mapping version of the...
A novel strategy for quantitative profiling of serum or plasma proteomes is described. This strategy includes scaling up and ammonium sulfate depletion of...
