For the first time we show time-resolved photoluminescence dependencies with 0.2 ps resolution for the novel type of InGaAs/GaAs quantum-sized heterostructures, referred to as quantum well-dots (QWDs). Photoluminescence upconversion method, that allows achieving time resolution up to 0.2 ps, was used to obtain time-resolved spectra for light (lh) and heavy hole (hh) optical transitions of QWDs. We concluded that the capture of charge carriers to the lh and hh states of QWDs occurs simultaneously in the time range of ~ 10 ps and is probably limited by carrier diffusion in the matrix. The characteristic time of photoluminescence decay for the hh state (3 ns) was found to be greater than that of lh one (2 ns).

Bright transient objects in different wave bands have been discovered in recent years.
To explain these short (from ms to s), and very powerful events, different models, galactic and
extragalactic, have been considered. One of the popular models is based on the suggestion of
transformation of the magnetized plasma blob, presumably a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
shock wave, moving with relativistic ...

Currently, ABX3 nanoparticles (NPs) based on lead halides attract the attention due to their unique optical properties and a wide range of applications. The preparation of NPs with lead as a partial or complete replacement is particularly interesting because of the toxicity of this chemical element and most of its compounds. In this study, we propose a ...

The influence of asymmetry of plasma sources on the structure and spatial localization of a superthin
current sheet (STCS) supported by demagnetized electrons is studied using a self-consistent model. The
simulation takes into account the presence of a single plasma source in the northern hemisphere, which
makes the plasma flow asymmetric. It is demonstrated that the asymmetry of ...

Plasmonic nanostructures typically exhibit shifts in their resonant wavelength in response to changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium. This limits their applications in scenarios requiring stable optical resonances. Here we present a metallic-dielectric hybrid metasurface that exhibits stable multi-wavelength resonance even if the refractive index of its surrounding varies. To quantitatively evaluate the stability of ...

We present a simple model that simulates the possible influence of one society on another. Specifically, two societies evolve deterministically according to the well-known Nowak-May spatial game with the addition of mutual influence through connections that reflect the current states of the societies. This may be related to the influence of a global information resource ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for two models in different universality classes: the Ising model and the Potts model with three components. The overlap of two ...

The electric double layer (EDL) governs charge distribution at electrode–electrolyte interfaces, controlling reaction kinetics and energy storage performance. This mini review surveys the evolution of EDL theory—from the classical Gouy-Chapman-Stern framework to modern coupled quantum-continuum schemes that integrate electronic structure with statistical mechanics. We show how modified Poisson–Boltzmann (mPB) formu-lations incorporating finite ion size, dielectric ...

This study presents a mean-field theory for zwitterionic polymer solutions confined within attractive slit-like nanopores. Building upon our prior model for self-coacervation [Budkov et al., Soft Matter 19, 3281–3289 (2023)], we demonstrate that strong electrostatic dipole–dipole correlations between monomeric units, coupled with attraction to pore walls, can induce capillary-driven liquid–liquid phase separation inside the pore—a ...

Metastable nonradiative centers (supertraps) are significant energy loss channels in perovskite optoelectronic devices. In their active state, supertraps induce substantial energy loss through nonradiative recombination of free charge carriers. Transitions between active (energy loss) and passive (no energy loss) states result in photoluminescence (PL) blinking on timescales from milliseconds to seconds. The presence of blinking allowed us to ...
