Overtone spectroscopy is used to observe the rovibrational spectra of the hydrogen isotopologues H2, HD, and D2 adsorbed in the metal–organic framework known as MOF-5. It is shown that the overtone spectrum facilitates the identification of hydrogen modes which are obscured in the fundamental region by the presence of MOF-5 features. Further, the overtone spectrum of H2 at the primary adsorptio...

We present a comprehensive theoretical study of finite-size effects in the relaxation dynamics of glass-forming liquids. Our analysis is motivated by recent theoretical progress regarding the understanding of relevant correlation length scales in liquids approaching the glass transition. We obtain predictions both from general theoretical arguments and from a variety of specific perspectives: m...

Resonant drift-wave coupling experiments characterize a new dissipative coupling term caused by a trapping separatrix. The system is a cylindrical pure-electron plasma with an axial trapping separatrix generated by an applied theta-symmetric wall voltage. The resonant decay of m_{theta}=2 diocotron modes into m_{theta}=1 trapped-particle diocotron modes is measured and compared to parametric mo...
