چکیده
The use of specific symmetry properties of the optical second-harmonic generation (the s,s-exclusion rule) has allowed us to observe high-contrast hyper-Rayleigh interference patterns in a completely diffuse light-an effect having no analog in case of linear (Rayleigh) scattering.

متن کاملElastic constants of tetrahedral amorphous carbon films by surface Brillouin scattering
The elastic constants of tetrahedral amorphous carbon ~ta-C! and hydrogenated tetrahedral amorphous carbon ~ta-C:H! thin films were determined nondestructively by surface Brillouin scattering. Besides the usual Rayleigh surface mode, we also observe a new pseudosurface acoustic mode of longitudinal polarization, which is a modified version of the longitudinal guided mode usually found in slow-o...

The two-point correlation function in thin films is studied near the critical point of the corresponding bulk system. Based on fieldtheoretic renormaliza-tion group theory the dependences of this correlation function on the lateral momentum, the two distances normal to the free surfaces, temperature, and film thickness are determined. The corresponding scattering cross section of X-rays and neu...
متن کاملLibrons observed in liquid acetonitrile by hyper-rayleigh scattering
Hyper-Rayleigh scattering intensity ratios I(VV)/I(VH) in the range 9-26 are observed for liquid acetonitrile (CH 3CN), inconsistent with localized modes of motion in an isotropic fluid. The observations are consistent with propagating orientational modes (librons) with frequency nu = 2 cm (-1), which scatter 71% of the light.

We discuss a recent computation of Compton scattering on the deuteron at photon energies of order the pion mass. An interaction kernel is computed in baryon chiral perturbation theory and sewn to phenomenological deuteron wave functions. As an appetizer, we consider a computation of the pion-deuteron scattering length using this method.
