We study the dynamics of an intriguing crossover from a chaotic to a power law state as a function of strain rate within the context of a recently introduced model which reproduces the crossover. While the chaotic regime has a small set of positive Lyapunov exponents, interestingly, the scaling regime has a power law…

We investigate pump induced modulation in the temporal evolution of the excitonic coherent polarization generated by a probe pulse in GaAs multiple quantum wells. For this, we perform fs time resolved pump-probe reflectivity measurements using frequency upconversion at both positive and negative pump-probe delays. A c…

We investigate the combined effect of spin-orbit scattering and electron-electron interactions on the probability distribution of $g$-factors of metal nanoparticles. Using random matrix theory, we find that even a relatively small interaction strength %(ratio of exchange constant $J$ and mean level %spacing $\spacing$…

The magnetic and transport properties of La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-δ} film grown on a LaAlO_3 substrate by pulsed-laser deposition are studied. The properties are found to be influenced by the magnetic anisotropy and inhomogeneity. Magnetoresistance anisotropy is determined by the shape anisotropy of the magnetization an…

A unified theoretical description of ballistic and diffusive carrier transport in parallel-plane semiconductor structures is developed within the semiclassical model. The approach is based on the introduction of a thermo-ballistic current consisting of carriers which move ballistically in the electric field provided b…

We present a theoretical study of (Ga,Mn)(As,C) diluted magnetic semiconductors with high C acceptor density that combines insights from phenomenological model and microscopic approaches. A tight-binding coherent potential approximation is used to describe the electronic structure in the presence of Mn$_{\rm Ga}$ and…

In an attempt to establish connections between classical rheology and aging in paste colloidal suspensions, we report in this paper a large set of experimental results on a given system. We have studied suspensions of polyethylene oxide-protected silica particles and performed classical rheology experiments that exhib…

Alternative exposure of Pd thin films and Pd/TiO 2 catalysts to dissolved hydrogen and oxygen leads to significant changes in the reflectivity of infrared radiation as observed in attenuated total reflection spectroscopy. The reflectivity decreases and the absorbance increases upon changing from oxygen- to hydrogen-sa…

The effect of ionic strength on adsorption of chitosan on mica as well as the impact of addition of an anionic surfactant, SDS, on the adsorbed chitosan layers is explored. It is demonstrated by chemical surface analysis (ESCA) and surface force measurements (SFA) that an elevated salt concentration leads to larger ad…

The reactions of lanthanide nitrates, Ln(NO(3))(3), with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane dioxide, Ph(2)P(O)CH(2)P(O)Ph(2) (L), lead to complexes with three distinct classes of structure. At low ratios of Ln:L (<1:1.5) in acetonitrile the ionic complexes [Ln(NO(3))(2)L(2)](+)[Ln(NO(3))(4)L](-) (Ln = Pr, Eu) have been iso…
