Watching gravitational waves
In this thesis the interaction of gravitational waves (gws) with electromagnetic waves (emws) in a static magnetic background field is considered. This interaction is a consequence of the general relativistic Einstein field equations. These equations dictate the excitation of electromagnetic waves when a gravitational wave interferes with a static electromagnetic background field and a similar ...
متن کاملWatching surface waves in phononic crystals.
In this paper, we review results obtained by ultrafast imaging of gigahertz surface acoustic waves in surface phononic crystals with one- and two-dimensional periodicities. By use of quasi-point-source optical excitation, we show how, from a series of images that form a movie of the travelling waves, the dispersion relation of the acoustic modes, their corresponding mode patterns and the positi...
متن کاملWatching Hydrogen Bonds Break: A Transient Absorption Study of Water.
Ultrafast infrared transient absorption measurements of the complete hydroxyl OD stretching mode spectrum of HOD in water, from 100 fs to tens of picoseconds, observe hydrogen bond breaking and monitor the equilibration of the hydrogen bond network in water. In addition, the vibrational lifetime, the time constant for hydrogen bond breaking, and the rate of orientational relaxation are determin...
متن کاملSaltatory propagation of Ca2+ waves by Ca2+ sparks.
Punctate releases of Ca2+, called Ca2+ sparks, originate at the regular array of t-tubules in cardiac myocytes and skeletal muscle. During Ca2+ overload sparks serve as sites for the initiation and propagation of Ca2+ waves in myocytes. Computer simulations of spark-mediated waves are performed with model release sites that reproduce the adaptive Ca2+ release observed for the ryanodine receptor...
متن کاملCalreticulin inhibits repetitive intracellular Ca2+ waves
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated calcium (Ca2+) signaling is subject to cytosolic and luminal regulatory mechanisms. In Xenopus oocytes, Ca(2+)-sensitive gating of the IP3 receptor (IP3R) produces repetitive waves of Ca2+ release. We examined the role of the luminal Ca(2+)-binding protein calreticulin (CRT) in IP3-mediated Ca2+ signaling by using Ca2+ wave activity as a sensitive Ca2...
