Photoluminescence of Ge(Si)/Si(0 0 1) self-assembled islands in the near infra-red wavelength range

The dependence of photoluminescence spectra of structures with GeSi/Si(0 0 1) self-assembled nanoislands on growth temperature has been investigated. It was shown that the redshift of the island-related photoluminescence peak with a decrease of the growth temperature is associated with suppression of Si diffusion in the islands and an increase of Ge content in them. For the first time a photoluminescence signal from SiGe islands was observed at energies much lower than the Ge band gap. The energy position of the island-related photoluminescence peak is well described by the model of optical transition, which is indirect in real space. The photoluminescence signal at 1.55 μm from GeSi/Si(0 0 1) self-assembled islands was obtained up to room temperature.     

Nonequilibrium Statistical Thermodynamics of Two Dissipative Processes in Solids: Energy Losses of Channeled Particles at Low Velocities and Ultrasound Absorption by Conduction Electrons

We use methods of nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics to investigate two dissipative processes in solids. We find the electron energy losses of a particle moving in a planar channeling regime and the sound absorption coefficient in metals under electron impurity scattering. The oscillator model is used to analyze the contribution from the effect of electron entrainment by a moving scattering center to the total dissipated energy. We investigate the frequency and temperature dependence of energy losses and also the dependence of the absorption coefficient on the sound wave vector.

Protonation and Alkylation of Cross-conjugated Ketones Containing a Terminal N-Methylpyrrole Ring

The protonation and alkylation of cross-conjugated ketones containing a terminal N-methylpyrrole ring takes place at the oxygen atom. Protonation is accompanied by a strong bathochromic shift of the absorption maximum in the electron spectrum, while alkylation leads to ethoxypolymethine salts. The possibility of using these salts for the synthesis of ethoxycyanine dyes was studied.

Scattering Problem for a Classical Particle with Spin in a Coulomb Field

We investigate the scattering problem for a relativistic electron with spin in a Coulomb field in the framework of pseudoclassical mechanics. We obtain an analytic expression for the scattering angle and limiting estimates for the scattering parameters for the spinless and nonrelativistic cases. For small angles, the pseudoclassical model under consideration leads to the well-known quantum-mechanical Mott formula.

Structural properties of the condensate in two-dimensional mesoscopic systems of strongly correlated excitons

A two-dimensional mesoscopic Bose system of dipoles in a 2D trap is considered using computer simulation by the quantum path-integral Monte Carlo method. The model describes a rarefied system of spatially indirect excitons in a confining potential. Bose condensation in the system and its superfluid and structural properties are studied over a wide range of interparticle spatial correlations, from an almost ideal Bose gas to the regime of a strongly correlated system. It is found that, at strong interparticle spatial correlations, particles in the condensate form a crystal-like structure. In this case, the spatial correlations of particles in the condensate are less pronounced than the correlations of noncondensed particles. The effect of recurrent crystallization is observed in the regime of strong interparticle correlations.
