We report the use of continuous wave spectral hole burning to perform high-resolution spectroscopy of the homogeneous linewidth of self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs
We present results of first-principles calculations of the frequency-dependent polarizabilities of all alkali atoms for light in the wavelength range 300-1600
A quantitative comparison of real and computer-generated (model) cement paste microstructures based on the analysis of three-dimensional image sets is presented
All experimental data on Ne VII, including previously unpublished beam-foil spectroscopy data, have been compiled and critically evaluated. More than a hundred
Recent measurements reveal striking trends in the variation of fragility (the strength of the temperature dependence of the fluid viscosity) of glass-forming
