XeF laser characteristics studied at elevated temperatures

The electron-beam-pumped XeF laser operating on the B-X and C-A transitions shows a strong temperature dependence. Fluorescence, gain, and laser output measurements in Ar/Xe/NF3 and Ne/Xe/NF3 mixtures are reported for temperatures from 300 to 600 K. Elevated temperatures cause stronger mixing between the Band C states as well as among the vibrational levels within the B state. Together with the...

Groundstate dispersion interaction between pi-conjugated polymers.

The line-dipole approximation is used to investigate the scaling of the groundstate dispersion interaction, EW, between parallel conjugated polymers of length L and transverse separation D. Both a second-order perturbation theory calculation using the Mott-Wannier exciton model of excited states and a semiclassical analysis of distributed dipoles indicate that at L approximately D there is a cr...

On the groundstate energy of tight knots

New results on the groundstate energy of tight, magnetic knots are presented. Magnetic knots are defined as tubular embeddings of the magnetic field in an ideal, perfectly conducting, incompressible fluid. An orthogonal, curvilinear coordinate system is introduced and the magnetic energy is determined by the poloidal and toroidal components of the magnetic field. Standard minimization of the ma...

On the efficiency of treating singularities in triatomic variational vibrational computations. The vibrational states of H(+)3 up to dissociation.

Several techniques of varying efficiency are investigated, which treat all singularities present in the triatomic vibrational kinetic energy operator given in orthogonal internal coordinates of the two distances-one angle type. The strategies are based on the use of a direct-product basis built from one-dimensional discrete variable representation (DVR) bases corresponding to the two distances ...
