- ItemHausdorff metric BV discontinuity of sweeping processes(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2016) Klein, Olaf; Recupero, VincenzoSweeping processes are a class of evolution differential inclusions arising in elastoplasticity and were introduced by J.J. Moreau in the early seventies. The solution operator of the sweeping processes represents a relevant example of rate independent operator. As a particular case we get the so called play operator, which is a typical example of a hysteresis operator. The continuity properties of these operators were studied in several works. In this note we address the continuity with respect to the strict metric in the space of functions of bounded variation with values in the metric space of closed convex subsets of a Hilbert space. We provide counterexamples showing that for all BV-formulations of the sweeping process the corresponding solution operator is not continuous when its domain is endowed with the strict topology of BV and its codomain is endowed with the L1-topology. This is at variance with the play operator which has a BV-extension that is continuous in this case.
- ItemX-ray spectroscopy of super-intense laser-produced plasmas for the study of nonlinear processes. Comparison with PIC simulations(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Dalimier, E.; Ya Faenov, A.; Oks, E.; Angelo, P.; Pikuz, T.A.; Fukuda, Y.; Andreev, A.; Koga, J.; Sakaki, H.; Kotaki, H.; Pirozhkov, A.; Hayashi, Y.; Skobelev, I.Yu.; Pikuz, S.A.; Kawachi, T.; Kando, M.; Kondo, K.; Zhidkov, A.; Tubman, E.; Butler, N.M.H.; Dance, R.J.; Alkhimova, M.A.; Booth, N.; Green, J.; Gregory, C.; McKenna, P.; Woolsey, N.; Kodama, R.We present X-ray spectroscopic diagnostics in femto-second laser-driven experiments revealing nonlinear phenomena caused by the strong coupling of the laser radiation with the created plasma. Among those nonlinear phenomena, we found the signatures of the Two Plasmon Decay (TPD) instability in a laser-driven CO2 cluster-based plasma by analyzing the Langmuir dips in the profile of the O VIII Lyϵ line, caused by the Langmuir waves created at the high laser intensity 3 1018Wcm-2. With similar laser intensities, we reveal also the nonlinear phenomenon of the Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) of the laser frequency by analyzing the nonlinear phenomenon of satellites of Lyman δ and ϵ lines of Ar XVII. In the case of relativistic laser-plasma interaction we discovered the Parametric Decay Instability (PDI)-induced ion acoustic turbulence produced simultaneously with Langmuir waves via irradiation of thin Si foils by laser intensities of 1021Wcm-2.
- ItemThe spin-flip scattering effect in the spin transport in silicon doped with bismuth(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Ezhevskii, A.A.; Detochenko, A.P.; Soukhorukov, A.V.; Guseinov, D.V.; Kudrin, A.V.; Abrosimov, N.V.; Riemann, H.Spin transport of conduction electrons in silicon samples doped with bismuth in the 1.1•1013 - 7.7•1015 cm-3 concentration range was studied by the Hall effect measurements. The dependence of the Hall voltage magnitude on the magnetic field is the sum of the normal and spin Hall effects. The electrons are partially polarized by an external magnetic field and are scattered by the bismuth spin-orbit potential. Spin-flip scattering results in the additional electromotive force which compensates the normal Hall effect in strong magnetic fields.
- ItemIntracycle interference in ionization of Ar by a laser assisted XUV pulse(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Arbó, D.G.; López, S. D.; Kubin, M.; Hummert, J.; Vrakking, M.J.J.; Kornilov, O.Synopsis We present a theoretical and experimental study of the subcycle interference in laser assisted XUV ionization of Ar atoms. Averaging over the focal volume happens to blur the intracycle interference, which thus cannot be measured directly. We show that even at these conditions, the intracycle interference can be obtained through the subtraction of two different angle and energy-resolved distributions at slightly different laser intensities.
- ItemHigh-order harmonic generation by polyatomic molecules(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Odžak, S.; Hasović, E.; Milošević, D.B.We present a theory of high-order harmonic generation by arbitrary polyatomic molecules based on the molecular strong-field approximation (MSFA) in the framework of the S-matrix theory. A polyatomic molecule is modeled by an (N + 1)-particle system, which consists of N heavy atomic (ionic) centers and an electron. We derived various versions (with or without the dressing of the initial and/or final molecular state) of the MSFA. The general expression for the T-matrix element takes a simple form for neutral polyatomic molecules. We show the existence of the interference minima in the harmonic spectrum and explain these minima as a multiple-slit type of interference. This is illustrated by numerical examples for the nitrous oxide (N2O) molecule exposed to strong linearly polarized laser field.
- ItemElectron Rescattering in a Bicircular Laser Field(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Hasović, E.; Becker, W.; Milošević, D.B.We investigate high-order above-threshold ionization (HATI) of krypton atoms by a bicircular laser field, which consists of two coplanar co- or counter-rotating circularly polarized fields of frequencies rw and sw. We show that the photoelectron spectra in the HATI process, presented in the momentum plane, exhibit the same discrete rotational symmetry as the driving field. We also analyze HATI spectra for various combinations of the intensities of two field components for co- and counter-rotating fields. We find that the appearance of high-energy plateau for the counter-rotating case is vary sensitive to the laser intensity ratio, while the plateau is always absent for the co-rotating bicircular field.
- ItemEvidence for Efficient Pathway to Produce Slow Electrons by Ground-state Dication in Clusters(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) You, Daehyun; Fukuzawa, Hironobu; Sakakibara, Yuta; Takanashi, Tsukasa; Ito, Yuta; Maliyar, Gianluigi G.; Motomura, Koji; Nagaya, Kiyonobu; Nishiyama, Toshiyuki; Asa, Kazuki; Sato, Yuhiro; Saito, Norio; Oura, Masaki; Schöffler, Markus; Kastirke, Gregor; Hergenhahn, Uwe; Stumpf, Vasili; Gohkberg, Kirill; Kuleff, Alexander I.; Cederbaum, Lorenz S.; Ueda, KiyoshiWe present an experimental evidence for a so-far unobserved, but potentially very important step relaxation cascades following inner-shell ionization of a composite system: Multiply charged ionic states created after Auger decay may be neutralized by electron transfer from a neighboring species, producing at the same time a low-energy free electron. This electron transfer-mediated decay (ETMD) called process is effective even after Auger decay into the dicationic ground state. Here, we report the ETMD of Ne2+ produced after Ne 1s photoionization in Ne-Kr mixed clusters.
- ItemAbove-threshold ionization in a bicircular field: Quantum orbits unfolding in a plane(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Becker, W.; Milošević, D.B.Above-threshold ionization (ATI) of atoms by a strong bicircular laser field is investigated using the strong-field approximation and the quantum-orbit theory. The bicircular field consists of two coplanar counterrotating circularly polarized fields with a frequency ratio of 2:1. The velocity map of the angle-resolved ATI spectra, both for direct and rescattered electrons, reflects the shape of a parametric plot of the bicircular field and its symmetries. It is shown that the main characteristics of the ATI spectra can be explained using only a few quantum orbits having short travel times. We also analyze a recently discovered [Phys. Rev. A 93, 052402(R) (2016)] bicircular-field-induced spin asymmetry of the ATI electrons and show that the momentum dependence of the spin-asymmetry parameter is stronger for longer wavelengths.
- ItemControl of photoemission delay in resonant two-photon transitions(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Argenti, L.; Jiménez Galán, Á.; Taïeb, R.; Caillat, J.; Maquet, A.; Martín, F.Synopsis In contrast to one-photon transitions and non-resonant multiphoton transitions, time delay in resonant multi-photon electron emission can exhibit large positive and negative values that have no scattering equivalent, due to the interference of multiple ionization paths.
- ItemSubwavelength population density gratings in resonant medium created by few-cycle pulses(Bristol : IOP Publ., 2017) Arkhipov, R.M.; Arkhipov, M.V.; Pakhomov, A.V.; Babushkin, I.; Demircan, A.; Morgner, U.; Rosanov, N.N.We consider theoretically recently proposed a new possibility of creation, erasing and ultrafast control of population density grating. Such grating can be created in resonant medium when ultrashort pulses with duration smaller than relaxation times in the resonant medium (coherent light matter interactions) propagate without overlapping in this medium. Possible applications in the ultrafast optics such as optical switcher and laser beam deflector are discussed.
