Photoinduced Phase Transition in Pr0.5Ca0.5CoO3Studied by Sequential Pulse Excitations

Photoinduced plasmon excitations in alkali-metal overlayers

Collective surface excitations in alkali-metal overlayers are observed using photoyield spectroscopy. Spectra for Na and K on Al~111! reveal a multipole surface plasmon and bulklike overlayer plasmon. In contrast, Li on Al exhibits only the multipole mode. In the submonolayer regime, all three alkali metals provide evidence for the threshold excitation. Time-dependent density-functional calcula...

Ultrafast structural phase transition driven by photoinduced melting of charge and orbital order.

We use femtosecond x-ray diffraction to probe directly the structural dynamics of a charge ordered and orbitally ordered thin film of La0.42Ca0.58MnO3 initiated by an ultrafast optical pulse. At low excitation fluences we observe the displacive excitation of a coherent optical A(g) phonon. Under high excitation conditions we observe a complete phase transition within 1 ps via the disappearance ...

modeling loss data by phase-type distribution

بیمه گران همیشه بابت خسارات بیمه نامه های تحت پوشش خود نگران بوده و روش هایی را جستجو می کنند که بتوانند داده های خسارات گذشته را با هدف اتخاذ یک تصمیم بهینه مدل بندی نمایند. در این پژوهش توزیع های فیزتایپ در مدل بندی داده های خسارات معرفی شده که شامل استنباط آماری مربوطه و استفاده از الگوریتم em در برآورد پارامترهای توزیع است. در پایان امکان استفاده از این توزیع در مدل بندی داده های گروه بندی ...

Transition states and nonlinear excitations in chloroform observed with a sub-5 fs pulse laser.

Sub-5 fs pulse dynamics observed in neat chloroform (CHCl(3)) and the CHCl(3)...O(2) charge-transfer complex in oxygen-saturated chloroform (O(2)-CHCl(3)) were found to be dominated by wave packet motions in the excited state and the ground state, respectively. The time-resolved signal of CHCl(3) exhibits dynamics in the electronic excited state generated by a three-photon absorption process, a...
