In this paper we propose a definitive experimental test of the nucleon-nucleon explanation Editor: W.

The comparison of n − p events with p − p and n − n events directly tests the postulated breaking of isospin symmetry.

  • Surface Pair-Density-Wave Superconducting and Superfluid States
    Surface Pair-Density-Wave Superconducting and Superfluid States Mats Barkman,1 Albert Samoilenka,1 and Egor Babaev1 1Department of Physics, Royal Institute of Technology, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden Fulde, Ferrell, Larkin, and Ovchinnikov (FFLO) predicted inhomogeneous superconducting and superfluid ground states, spontaneously breaking translation symmetries. In this Letter, we demon- strate that the transition from the FFLO to the normal state as a function of temperature or increased Fermi surface splitting is not a direct one. Instead the system has an additional phase transition to a different state where pair-density-wave superconductivity (or superfluidity) exists only on the boundaries of the system, while the bulk of the system is normal. The surface pair- density-wave state is very robust and exists for much larger fields and temperatures than the FFLO state.

Dekan: Prof. Dr. W. Aßmus Gutachter: Prof. Dr. D.-H. Rischke, Prof. Dr. Adrian Dumitru Datum der Disputation: Dezember 7, 2007. Acknowledgements I would like to express my special thanks to Prof. Dirk Rischke for all the generous supports that during my Ph.D thesis he gave mentally and practically to me. I learned a lot of things from him which will be certainly very useful for me in future as well. Without his helps and encouragements it would be difficult to come to the end of this thesis. Thank you Dirk! I am also very grateful to Prof. Igor Shovkovy for very instructive discussions we had. He was the one who taught this stimulating field to me. Also, I had a lot of fun with him during lunch breaks and in other occasions. Since I wanted to take ten watermelons with my tow hands, I needed to work harder. On other words, along my Ph.D thesis, I wanted to work on other fields as well, although the project were not published. I had great times when I was collaborating with Prof. Adrian Dumitru and Prof. Michael Strickland. I thank both of you for teaching me those fascinating topics. I also had a wonderful chance to talk to Prof.

    GENERAL I ARTICLE The Man Behind 'Femtochemistry' Ahmed Zewail Wins the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Puspendu Kumar Das He hails from the land of the Pharaohs; he came to the United States, like many, to seek higher education and today he is at the top of his achievements. He is Ahmed H Zewail, Linus Pauling Chair of Chemical Physics at the California Institute of Tech­ nology. He has just been honoured with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Octo­ ber 12, 1999, 'for his studies of the transition state of chemical Puspendu Kumar Das reactions using femtosecond spectroscopy'. Bond formation and studies and teaches bond breaking are the two most fundamental concepts that physical chemistry at the department of inorganic make chemistry. Zewail studied these two processes using ultra­ and physical chemistry short techniques on the time scale on which they actually occur. in the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. His The Man current research interests include gas Born February 26, 1946 in Egypt, Ahmed H Zewail (Figure 1) phase chemical kinetics, received his BS and MS degrees from Alexandria University second order nonlinear optics, and lipid-protein which was, perhaps, once the greatest place for learning on interaction. earth. He then moved to the University of Pennsylvania, Phila­ delphia in USA and obtained a PhD degree in 1974 working with R M Hochstrasser. Following his postdoctoral work with Charles Harris at the University of California at Berkeley, he joined the chemistry department of Caltech in 1976. Figure 1.

  • Femtochemistry and Femtobiology
    The desire to explore our surrounding world has always been one of the strongest charac- teristics of human nature. Columbus and the great explorers travelled outwards and discovered new continents in the 16th century and Bohr, Einstein, Rutherford, Curie and many others travelled inward to explore the secrets of the atomic world in the 20th century. Explorers use ships, planes or spacecraft to travel outward and they use increasingly Femtochemistry and Femtobiology (ULTRA) sophisticated scientific tools to travel inward An ESF scientific programme into the world of atoms and molecules. Here at the beginning of the 3rd millennium we have microscopes allowing us to see single atoms and telescopes allowing us to see the edges of the universe. At the end of the 20th century a fascinating new tool, the femtosecond laser, was developed. The femtosecond laser provides us with ULTRA short light pulses, allowing the motion of atoms and molecules to be captured as if they were filmed. To have, not only the structure of atoms and molecules, but also their motion, is of unique importance in our quest to understand and control chemical and biological processes. The ULTRA Programme, sponsored by the European Science Foundation, is a collabo- rative effort among the leading European laboratories engaged in using femtosecond laser pulses in chemistry and biology, a field of research with its own name: Femtochemistry and Femtobiology. In this brochure we give a brief introduction to the The European Science Foundation acts field and illustrate the activities within the as a catalyst Programme with a few illustrative case for the development stories.
