Size dependent optical response in coupled systems of plasmons and electron-hole pairs in metallic nanostructures
In bulk materials, the collective modes and individual modes are orthogonal each other, and no connection occurs if there is no damping processes. In the presence of damping, the collective modes, i.e., plasmons decay into the hot carriers. In finite systems, the collective and individual modes are coupled by the Coulo...

Identifying noise transients in gravitational-wave data arising from nonlinear couplings
Noise in various interferometer systems can sometimes couple non-linearly to create excess noise in the gravitational wave (GW) strain data. Third-order statistics, such as bicoherence and biphase, can identify these couplings and help discriminate those occurrences from astrophysical GW signals. However, the conventio...

Ab-initio Van der Waals electrodynamics: polaritons and electron scattering from plasmons and phonons in BN-capped graphene
Plasmons and polar phonons are elementary electrodynamic excitations of matter. In 2d and at long wavelengths, they couple to light and act as the system polaritons. They also dictate the scattering of charged carriers. Van der Waals heterostructures offer the opportunity to couple excitations from different layers via...

First Order Nonequilibrium Phase Transition in a Spatially Extended System
We investigate a system of harmonically coupled identical nonlinear constituents subject to noise in different spatial arrangements.

Dark energy and the Boomerang data
The recent high-quality Boomerang data allow to test many competing cosmological models. Here I present a seven-parameter likelihood analysis of dark energy models with exponential potential and explicit coupling to dark matter.

Photometric amplitudes and phases of nonradial oscillation in rotating stars
Effects of rotational mode coupling on photometric parameters of stellar oscillations are studied. At moderate rotation rates, a strong coupling between modes of spherical harmonic degree, $\ell$, differing by 2 and of the same azimuthal order, $m$, takes place if the frequencies are close. This is a common situation a...

Probing String Theory with Modulated Cosmological Fluctuations
Superstring theory, models with extra dimensions and other SUSY models generically predict that the coupling constants are in fact vacuum expectation values of fields like the dilaton, moduli etc. Assuming some of these fields are light during inflation, we get generation of small classical inhomogeneities in these fie...

SAX J1808.4-3658 and the origin of X-ray variability in X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei
The aperiodic X-ray variability in neutron star and black hole X-ray binaries (XRBs), and active galactic nuclei (AGN) shows a characteristic linear relationship between rms amplitude and flux, implying a multiplying-together or `coupling' of variability on different time-scales. Such a coupling may result from avalanc...

Nonlocal radiative coupling in non monotonic stellar winds
There is strong observational evidence of shocks and clumping in radiation-driven stellar winds from hot, luminous stars. The resulting non monotonic velocity law allows for radiative coupling between distant locations, which is so far not accounted for in hydrodynamic wind simulations. In the present paper, we determi...

Correlations between resonances in a statistical scattering model
The distortion of the regular motion in a quantum system by its coupling to the continuum of decay channels is investigated. The regular motion is described by means of a Poissonian ensemble.

Mode-locking in coupled map lattices
We study propagation of pulses along one-way coupled map lattices, which originate from the transition between two superstable states of the local map. The velocity of the pulses exhibits a staircase-like behaviour as the coupling parameter is varied. For a piece-wise linear local map, we prove that the velocity of the...

Coupling of Josephson current qubits using a connecting loop
We propose a coupling scheme for the three-Josephson junction qubits which uses a connecting loop, but not mutual inductance. Present scheme offers the advantages of a large and tunable level splitting in implementing the controlled-NOT (CNOT) operation. We calculate the switching probabilities of the coupled qubits in...

Josephson effect between superconducting nanograins with discrete energy levels
We investigate the Josephson effect between two coupled superconductors, coupled by the tunneling of pairs of electrons, in the regime that their energy level spacing is comparable to the bulk superconducting gap, but neglecting any charging effects. In this regime, BCS theory is not valid, and the notion of a supercon...

Electron-phonon vertex in the two-dimensional one-band Hubbard model
Using quantum Monte Carlo techniques, we study the effects of electronic correlations on the effective electron-phonon (el-ph) coupling in a two-dimensional one-band Hubbard model. We consider a momentum-independent bare ionic el-ph coupling. In the weak- and intermediate-correlation regimes, we find that the on-site C...

The effect of electromechanical coupling on the strain in AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field effect transistors
The strain in AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field-effect transistors (HFETs) is examined theoretically in the context of the fully-coupled equation of state for piezoelectric materials. Using a simple analytical model, it is shown that, in the absence of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), the out-of-plane strain obtaine...

Coherent oscillations of electrons in tunnel-coupled wells under ultrafast intersubband excitation
Ultrafast intersubband excitation of electrons in tunnell-coupled wells is studied depending on the structure parameters, the duration of the infrared pump and the detuning frequency. The temporal dependencies of the photoinduced concentration and dipole moment are obtained for two cases of transitions: from the single...

Equilibrium currents in quantum double ring system: A non-trivial role of system-reservoir coupling
Amperes law states that the magnetic moment of a ring is given by current times the area enclosed. Also from equilibrium statistical mechanics it is known that magnetic moment is the derivative of free energy with respect to magnetic field. In this work we analyze a quantum double ring system interacting with a reservo...

Criticality in coupled quantum spin-chains with competing ladder-like and two-dimensional couplings
Motivated by the geometry of spins in the material CaCu$_2$O$_3$, we study a two-layer, spin-half Heisenberg model, with nearest-neighbor exchange couplings J and \alpha*J along the two axes in the plane and a coupling J_\perp perpendicular to the planes. We study these class of models using the Stochastic Series Expan...
