THz-frequency electromagnetic radiation may be generated by illuminating a suitable target with short pulses of near-infrared radiation. We present results of experiments employing pulses of < 12 fs irradiating a HgCdTe thin film. The resulting THz emission was detected using a liquid-He–cooled bolometer. Strong azimuthal angle dependence on the generated THz power is observed. The THz power varies quadratically with the pump power.

The central-cell correction has been determined experimentally for the two donor impurities S and Si in GaAs. Data have been obtained for magnetic fields to 39 T, corresponding to γ~6. The observed behavior is in good agreement with theory. The analysis permits accurate evaluation of zero-field central-cell corrections, yielding 0.110 and 0.059 meV for S and Si, respectively.


Electroresistance Of Perovskite Manganites, D. C. Pond, R. A. Lewis Feb 2009

Electroresistance Of Perovskite Manganites, D. C. Pond, R. A. Lewis

Roger A. Lewis

A comprehensive delineation of current-voltage-temperature space is given for La0.66Sr0.33MnO3 and La0.8Li0.2MnO3. The first shows little electroresistance; the second exhibits marked electroresistance over a wide temperature range.
