We present an experimental and theoretical study of the carrier-envelope phase effects on population transfer between two bound atomic states interacting with intense ultrashort pulses. Radio frequency pulses are used to transfer population among the ground state hyperfine levels in rubidium atoms. These pulses are only a few cycles in duration and have Rabi frequencies of the order of the carr...

A new scheme of energy storage in single-quantum-well semiconductor lasers is analyzed. This scheme involves the storage of the majority of injected carriers in the continuum states of the surrounding bulk material, in which the carrier density is diluted and the higher-order carrier-density-dependent recombination processes are much smaller. This allows the inversion level to build up to a muc...

Exact results for the density of states and the ac conductivity of the spinless Holstein model at finite carrier density are obtained combining Lanczos and kernel polynomial methods.

Cattle were infected with three isolates of Theileria parva and treated with halofuginone lactate during acute clinical disease. The health, weight gain and carrier state of the cattle were monitored for 15 months. Limited treatment rapidly reduced fever and parasitosis but parasite recrudescences occurred and 12 out of 21 treated cattle died. Persistent carrier states were identified with two ...

A liquid-crystalline benzocrown ether, 4'-[(4''-1,1,2,2-tetrahydroperfluorooctyloxy)biphenyloxycarbonyl]benzo-15-crown-5, was used as a neutral carrier of ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) to elucidate the effect of highly ordered assembling of the neutral carrier on the sensor properties through fluorophilic interactions. The properties for the membrane and the resulting ISEs based on a benzocro...

Based on carrier rate equation, a new model is proposed to explain the non-exponential nature of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) decay curves in the polar InGaN/GaN multi-quantum-well structures. From the study of TRPL curves at different temperatures, it is found that both radiative and non-radiative recombination coefficients vary from low temperature to room temperature. The variation...

Mandatory alcohol testing programs for motor carrier drivers were implemented in the United States in 1995 and have not been adequately evaluated. Using data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System during 1982–2006, the authors assessed the effectiveness of mandatory alcohol testing programs in reducing alcohol involvement in fatal motor carrier crashes. The study sample consisted of 69,295...

The influence of the growth conditions of multilayer CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots (QDs) on Si substrate upon their carrier dynamics is studied using intensity integration and broadening photoluminescence. The unusual temperature dependence of the line broadening is explained using a model for interband transitions that involves a lowest discrete electronic state (1Se) with different discrete hole sta...
