Within a systematic approach based on nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics, we derive the one-loop self-energy correction of order α ( Z α )4 to the bound-electron g factor. In combination with numerical data, this analytic result improves theoretical predictions for the self-energy correction for carbon and oxygen by an order of magnitude. Basing on one-loop calculations, we obtain the logarithmic two-loop contribution of order α2 ( Z α )4 ln [ ( Z α )- 2 ] and the dominant part of the corresponding constant term. The results obtained improve the accuracy of the theoretical predictions for …
Gold Adatoms And Dimers On Relaxed Graphite Surfaces, Guan Ming Wang, Joseph J. Belbruno, Steven D. Kenny, Roger Smith
Gold Adatoms And Dimers On Relaxed Graphite Surfaces, Guan Ming Wang, Joseph J. Belbruno, Steven D. Kenny, Roger Smith
Dartmouth Scholarship
The interaction of deposited gold adatoms and dimers with multilayer relaxed graphite surfaces is investigated through a density functional approach with numerical orbitals and a relativistic core pseudopotential. The energy landscape for a gold adatom along [110] agrees with scanning tunneling microscopy observations including the preferred β binding site for adatoms and the mobility difference between silver and gold adatoms. Deposited particles are shown to induce surface deformation and polarization. Static relaxation and dynamic simulations indicate that the energetically preferred binding orientation for a gold dimer is normal rather than parallel to the graphite surface. The dimer response to a …

Microsecond Spin-Flip Times In N-Gaas Measured By Time-Resolved Polarization Of Photoluminescence, John S. Colton, T. A. Kennedy, A. S. Bracker, D. Gammon
Faculty Publications
We have observed microsecond spin-flip times in lightly doped n-GaAs, by measuring the photoluminescence polarization in the time domain with pump and probe pulses. Times up to 1.4 μs have been measured. Our results as a function of magnetic field indicated three regions governing the spin relaxation: a low field region, where spin-flip times increase due to suppression of the nuclear hyperfine interaction for localized electrons, a medium field region where spin-flip times increase due to narrowing of the hyperfine relaxation for interacting electrons, and a high field region where spin-flip times begin to level off due to the increasing …
A Test Of Bell’S Inequality For The Undergraduate Laboratory, Burton A. Betchart
A Test Of Bell’S Inequality For The Undergraduate Laboratory, Burton A. Betchart
Honors Papers
The thesis documents the work done over the year to initiate an undergraduate Advanced Laboratory experiment which tests Bell’s inequality. It provides reference theory for the experiment, including explanations of Bell inequalities, basics of nonlinear optics, type-I downconversion and entanglement, and polarization states of the entangled photons. A main result is the equipment and design proposal for the experiment, which will cost a total $19600, led in price by the $9000 of a four photodetector array and followed by the $5000 of a 405nm pump laser. Entangled photons are produced by pumping BBO in a two-crystal geometry. Although most of …

Nearly complete angular distributions of the two-body deuteron photodisintegration differential cross section have been measured using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer detector and the tagged photon beam at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The data cover photon energies between 0.5 and 3.0 GeV and center-of-mass proton scattering angles 10°–160°. The data show a persistent forward-backward angle asymmetry over the explored energy range, and are well described by the nonperturbative quark gluon string model.

The effect of the direction of the detected beam on the intensity of ECE is studied. It is found that the combined effects of the strong dependence of the conversion efficiencey of O mode at the plasma resonance on the direction of the incident wave and the partial screening of the beam waist by the MAST vessel wall, can be responsible for the weakening of ECE emission for some frequencies. The theoretical model for ECE data interpretation on MAST has been significantly improved. New features of the model are as follows: the quasioptical treatment of the receiving antenna, interference, polarization …
