The Tamm-Dancoff equation of motion for four BCS quasiparticles
is derived. It is solved in the limit of degenerate energy levels
using a seperable interaction. The result is then applied to the
coupling between collective states with two and four quasiparticles,
which corresponds to a coupling between collective states with...
In this thesis, I present studies in the field of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. These studies are divided into three areas: Development of a narrowband THz source, the study of carrier transport in metal thin films, and the exploration of coherent dynamics of quasi-particles in semiconductor nanostructures with both broadband and...
