Nonlocal Electrodynamic Modeling Of Fluorescence Characteristics For Molecules In A Spherical Cavity, Pui T. Leung, M. H. Hider Nov 2002

Nonlocal Electrodynamic Modeling Of Fluorescence Characteristics For Molecules In A Spherical Cavity, Pui T. Leung, M. H. Hider

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

The emission characteristics for molecules in a spherical metallic microcavity are computed using a nonlocal electrodynamic model, based on a theory previously published by Fuchs and Claro [Phys. Rev. B 35, 3722 (1987)] for the multipole polarizability of a sphere. Both radially and tangentially oriented molecules at arbitrary locations inside the cavity are considered, and the results are compared with those from both the local response theory and those for molecules outside a spherical particle. The issue of reciprocity of the solutions for each of the sphere and cavity cases, respectively, is examined in the light of the nonlocal effects. …


Double-Logarithmic Two-Loop Self-Energy Corrections To The Lamb Shift, Ulrich D. Jentschura, I. Nandori Aug 2002

Double-Logarithmic Two-Loop Self-Energy Corrections To The Lamb Shift, Ulrich D. Jentschura, I. Nandori

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Self-energy corrections involving logarithms of the parameter Z α can often be derived within a simplified approach, avoiding calculational difficulties typical of the problematic nonlogarithmic corrections (as customary in bound-state quantum electrodynamics, we denote by Z the nuclear charge number, and by α the fine-structure constant). For some logarithmic corrections, it is sufficient to consider internal properties of the electron characterized by form factors. We provide a detailed derivation of related self-energy “potentials” that give rise to the logarithmic corrections; these potentials are local in coordinate space. We focus on the double-logarithmic two-loop coefficient B62 for P states and …
