Filamentation of femtosecond laser pulses leads to a variety of spectacular nonlinear phenomena like broadband THz generation, pulse self-compression, guiding of electric discharges and lasing effects. In particular, a coherent emission at 391.4 nm is observed from plasma filaments corresponding to a transition between levels B and X of the singly ionized Nitrogen molecule. To explain the...
The V4O7 material is one of the correlated vanadium oxides with non-trivial metal-insulator transition (MIT) behavior. This oxide belongs to Magneli phases (VnO2n-1, n=3,4,…,9) and shows reversible MIT at temperature Tc~237K. Similar to other vanadium oxides, V4O7 shows exotic electronic, magnetic, and optical properties due to strong electron-electron correlations. Here we report on...
Spintronics is the thriving field of research with the aim to control the electron spin degree of freedom for potential applications in computing, storage and memory, and fundamental science. Spintronic devices are promising in terms of lower power consumption, higher information density, and non-volatility compared to conventional electronics. However, in order to utilize the electron spin to...
Laser-induced thermal emission (LITE), generated by light-absorbing objects heated up to incandescent temperatures with nanosecond laser pulses of moderate power, is observed in the visible range of optical radiation spectrum. LITE is a kind of secondary emission which is sensitive to the structure of the irradiated surface layer. The techniques based on thermal emission observation are...
