Charakterisierung und Optimierung der Beugungseigenschaften von Si1_xGex Monochromatorkristallen
(1999)
If an atom is able to exhibit macroscopic dark periods, or electron shelving, then a driven system of tow atoms has three types of these fluorescence types as a simple and easily accessible indivator of cooperative effects. As an examble, we study two dipole-interacting V systems by simulation techniques. We show that the durations of the two types of light periods exhibit marked sepatation-dependent oscillations and that they vary in phase with the real part of the dipole-dipole coupling constant.
Dielectric spectra of a partially fluorinated chromophore / amorphous Teflon AF guest-host system
(1999)
By means of pyroelectrical measurements and dielectric spectroscopy as well as structural information from differential scanning calorimetry, it is shown that, in a poly(vinyl alcohol) with azobenzene-alkoxy side chains, pyroelctricity and dielectric hysteresis which are usually related to each other have different origins. The pyroelectric effect is explained with reversible dipole-density changes upon thermal expansion, whereas the dielectric hysteresis is proposed to result from a charge-carrier polarisation.

We consider a large population of globally coupled noisy phase oscillators. In the thermodynamic limit N this system exhibits a nonequilibrium phase transition, at which amacroscopic mean field appears. It is shown that for large but finite system size N the system can be described by the noisy Stuart-Landau equation, yielding scaling behavior of statistical characteristics of the macroscopic mean field with N. The predictions of the theory are checked numerically.
We consider the role of weak interaction on the fluctuations of the number of condensed atoms within canonical and microanonical ensembles. Unlike the correspinding case of the ideal gas this is not a clean, well-defined problem of mathematical physics. Two related reasons are the following: there is no unique way of defining the condensate fraction of the interacting system and no exact energy levels of the interacting system are known.
Gamma 2 Velorum revisited
(1999)
We study the electromagnetic coupling and concomitant heating of a particle in a miniaturized trap close to a solid surface. Two dominant heating mechanisms are identified: proximity fields generated by thermally exicted currents in the absorbing solid and timedependent image potentials due to elastic surfaces distortions (Rayleigh phonons. Estimates for the lifetime of the trap ground state are given. Ions are paricularly sinsitive to electric proximity fields: for a silver substrate, we find a lifetime below one second at distrances closer than some ten 10^-6m to the surfaces. Neutral atoms may approach the surface more closely: if they have a magnetic moment, a minimum distance of one 10^-6m is estimatied in tight traps, the heat being transferred via magnetic proximity fields. For spinless atoms, heat is transferred by inelastic scattering of virtual photons off sorface phonons. The corresponding lifetime, however, is estimated to be extremely long compared to the timescale of typical experiments.
Investigation of molecular diffusion across organic multilayers using neutron specular reflectivity
(1999)
We derive the time and loss rate for a trapped atom that is coupled to fluctuating fields in the vicinity of a room-temperature metallic and/or dielectric surface. Our results indicate a clear predominance of near-field effects over ordinary blackbody radiation. We develop a theoretical framework for both charged ions and neutral atoms with and without spin. Loss processes that are due to a transition to an untrapped internal state are included.
