Electron avalanche due to intraband optical absorption is discussed as a mechanism responsible for laser induced damage in certain insulating crystals.
Total energy calculations based on density functional theory are generally a good
approach to obtain the properties of solids. The local density approximation (LDA) is
widely used for calculating the ground state prope ...
We discuss a relativistic transport theory of condensed matter based on a
microscopic system containing bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom interacting via 3 -
and 4-point interactions. We use the Dyson hierarchy ...
Local field effects on the dielectric properties of solids have
been studied for three-dimensional and two-dimensional crystals by
using two kinds of dipole models: an atomic dipole model in which
dipoles coincide wit ...
Perturbed Angular Correlations (PAC) spectroscopy is an effective
local probe technique often employed in the characterization of defects or
phase transitions in any of a variety of materials. This technique relies
up ...
