We provide a rigorous framework describing a low-density gas of slow-light polaritons propagating in one dimension under the conditions of electromagnetically
We use time-dependent density functional theory to examine the character of various resonances corresponding to peaks in the optical response of small metallic
SLDMOL is a program for modeling the one-dimensional scattering length density (SLD) profile of proteins at the lipid membrane-solution interface or adsorbed to
This paper quantifies the influence of acoustic excitation of Al2O3 nanoparticles on the pool boiling performance of R134a/polyolester mixtures on a commercial

We have generated frequency combs spanning 0.5 to 20 GHz in superconducting λ=2 resonators at T ¼ 3 K. Thin films of niobium-titanium nitride enabled this
We investigate two-photon transitions and strong-field effects on Rydberg atoms using Autler- Townes splitting of electromagnetically-induced transparency
