We present a method to calculate dielectric and refractivity virial coefficients using the path-integral Monte Carlo formulation of quantum statistical mechanics and validate it by comparing our results with equivalent calculations in the literature and

Non-thermal electron distributions, such as beams of electrons, are found in many laboratory and astrophysical plasma sources and can produce anisotropic and polarized emission. Theories used to model the emission require sublevel specific analysis, which

The electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology was employed to measure the isotopic shift of the Na-like D 3s 2S1=2 3p 2P1=2;3=2, Mg-like 3s2 1S0 3s3p 1P1, Mg-like 3s2 1S0 3s3p 3P1, Al-like 3s23p 2P1=2 3s23p 2P3=2

Optical lattices are typically created via the ac-Stark shift, which are limited by diffraction to periodicities ≥ λ/2, where λ is the wavelength of light used to create them. Lattices with smaller periodicities may be useful for many-body physics with

Extreme ultraviolet spectra of highly-charged ytterbium ions produced in an electron beam ion trap at National Institute of Standards and Technology were observed with a at- eld grazing incidence spectrometer in the wavelength region of about 4 nm to 20 nm
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to characterize the self-assembly of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on a (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in aqueous solution for the purpose of gaining an improved theoretical understanding of separation

Established techniques for deterministically creating dark solitons in repulsively interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) can only access a narrow range of soliton velocities. Because velocity a ects the stability of individual solitons and

High-resolution x-ray spectra were recorded at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) electron beam ion trap (EBIT) using two Johann-type crystal spectrometers, with their dispersion planes oriented parallel and perpendicular to the beam

Tensor networks are a powerful tool for many-body ground-states with limited entanglement. These methods can nonetheless fail for certain time-dependent processes - such as quantum trans- port or quenches - where entanglement growth is linear in time

We observe bimodal uorescence patterns from atoms in a fast atomic beam when the laser excitation occurs in the presence of a magnetic eld and the atoms sample only a portion of the laser pro le. The behavior is well explained by competition between the

We combine quantum-chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to consider aqueous ion flow across non-axisymmetric nanopores in monolayer graphene and MoS2. When the pore-containing membrane is subject to uniaxial tensile strains applied in

Rotationally resolved electronic spectra of two conformational isomers of jet-cooled Indole-4-Carboxylic Acid (I4CA) and the deuterated forms of the acid (COOD) and amide (N-D) groups have been obtained using a UV laser/molecular beam spectrometer. The in

We present accurate spectroscopic measurements and detailed theoretical analysis of inner-shell LM$n$ and LN$n$ ($n$ $\geq$ 4) dielectronic resonances (DR) in highly-charged M-shell ions of tungsten. The x-ray emission from W$^49+}$ through W$^64+}$ was

Atomic vapors are a crucial platform for precision metrology but in their simplest implementation, a thermal vapor, the intrinsic optical resonances are broadened due to the random and isotropic thermal motion of the atoms. By structuring the container of
