The Kramers problem in the energy-diffusion limited regime of very low friction is difficult to deal with analytically because of the repeated recrossings of the barrier that typically occur before an asymptotic rate constant is achieved. Thus, the transmission coefficient of particles over the potential barrier undergoes oscillatory behavior in time before settling into a steady state. Recentl...

A new method for measuring the scattering coefficient using a metal-plate reflector was developed in order to provide a non-destructive way for the assessment of microwave materials in free space. By displacing the position of the metal-plate reflector on the specimen to be tested, the incident wave and the scattered wave from the measured area were determined without the influence of extraneou...

Abstract In this paper, the characteristics of transmission coefficient (S $$_{21}$$ 21 ) measured in free-space at terahertz frequencies are analyzed. The analysis results used to estimate permittivity material under test, and estimated is adopted as an initial-value for i...

The propagation of high-power femtosecond light pulses in lithium niobate crystals (LiNb O3 ) is investigated experimentally and theoretically in collinear pump-probe transmission experiments. It is found within a wide intensity range that a strong decrease of the pump transmission coefficient at wavelength 388 nm fully complies with the model of two-photon absorption; the corresponding nonline...
