We observe ultralong-range blueshifted Cs(2) molecular states near ns(1/2) Rydberg states in an optical dipole trap, where 31≤n≤34. The accidental near degeneracy of (n-4)l and ns Rydberg states for l>2 in Cs, due to the small fractional ns quantum defect, leads to nonadiabatic coupling among these states, producing potential wells above the ns thresholds. Two important consequences of admixing...

Recently, the economic feasibility of drilling a horizontal well improved drastically due to advances in drilling technology. Advantages of horizontal wells over vertical well applications have been confirmed by many scientists(1-4) and operators(5-7). Horizontal wells showed many distinct advantages over vertical ones such as improvement of well productivity, attenuation of sand production, an...

Using natural regen,eration can be risky, however. A good example is from the Southwide Southern Pine Seed Source Study (SSPSSS), iongleaf phase, established in the early 1950’s (Wells and Wakeley 1970). The stands and trees from which seed was collected were carefully chosen to be representative of the genetic resource of the area. One of the seed sources, from southeastern Louisiana performed...

The strain-induced modifications of the orbital components of the valence-band wave functions in strained GaAs quantum wells grown on GaP substrates and strained InAs quantum wells grown on GaAs substrates are studied. The relative weight of the orbital components is analyzed by comparing the piezoreflectance and the derivative of the reflectance spectra. Depending on the localization of the wa...

In 1994 Butov et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 304 (1994)] reported large, extremely low-frequency fluctuations in the luminescence intensity from indirect excitons in a coupled quantum well. We have reproduced these fluctuations in a similar structure. Our observations indicate, however, that the fluctuations are spectral fluctuations rather than intensity fluctuations. We have eliminated several ...

The hydrostatic skeleton of Arenicola marina has been investigated in some detail both by Chapman & Newell (1947) and by Wells (1954) and our knowledge of the habits of this species is broadly based on the extensive researches of the latter author (1961). When a new method of continuous pressure recording became available to me I immediately tried it out on Arenicola as an established standard ...

We study the preparation and manipulation of states involving a small number of interacting particles. By controlling the splitting and fusing of potential wells, we show how to interconvert Mott-insulator-like and trapped BEC-like states. We also discuss the generation of "Schrödinger cat" states by splitting a microtrap and taking into practical consideration the asymmetry between the resulti...

We study the problem of characterizing quasiconvex hulls for three “solenoidal” (divergence free) wells in dimension three when the wells are pairwise incompatible. A full characterization for a generic regime is achieved by translating the problem into the language of H-measures, following recipes of Kohn and Smyshlyaev & Willis, in combination with certain ideas based on Šverák’s example of a...
