Recent publications General ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE INTERACTION WITH SOLID STATE STRUCTURES Solid state structures capable to confine or emit photons are studied in visible, infrared- and millimeter wave ranges. The structures are either ordered (multiple layers) or disordered (composition clusters). The characteristic non-uniformity length spans from the order of millimeters in structures referred to as “photonic crystals” at the frequency range of GHz to nanometer-size quantum wells and dots considered in visible range. Photon interaction with plasma oscillations, phonons, excitons and magnetic polarons are considered, depending on the wave range. Microwave range up to 1 THz Layered periodic structures comprising of semiconductors and dielectrics, dielectrics and plasmas are considered. Forbidden band of photon transmission along the layers is predicted. It arises when the dielectric constant of one sub-set of the constituent layers is negative. The band controllability in steady magnetic fields is experimentally confirmed.

His early work involved the study of the surfaces of solids. Specifically, he studied the chemisorption of alkalis on metal surfaces. The technique that was used was the density functional formalism. He used this formalism to study hydrogen in metals, as well as defects in metals. The main thrust of the work was to calculate the electric field gradient in these imperfect materials. His attention then changed to the study of the optical properties of one dimensional conductors, such as TTF-TCNQ. These calculations led to the investigation of acoustic plasmons in one dimensional conductors. He then tackled the problem of superconductivity in the A-15 materials, looking for an alternative mechanism to explain their high temperature transition. Prof. Chuck Kaufman

Prigogine (New York: American Institute of Physics, 1993) 448 pp. This book is the proceedings of a conference,held in La Jolla and organized by The Institute for Advanced Physics Studies,the aim of which could be regarded as a restoration of the links between three fields in modern physics: chaotic dynamics, hydrodynamic turbulence, and plasma turbulence. The narrow specialization of modern scientists, related to the ever-increasing complexity of the research methods, has led to the situation in which although major advances have been made in the development of the mathematical formalism of nonlinear dynamics, there has been no significant progress in the understanding of the fundamental problems in the theory of highly developed turbulence which has the parent of nonlinear dynamics. It is obvious that a qualitative step forward in the understanding of the nature of turbulent dynamics is possible only if a new descriptive language is used, i.e. if this step is the development of nonperturbative methods for the description of chaos.

The first three on our list concern the sharpening of our understanding of the big bang era, evidence for new quark groupings, and progress in manipulating quantum gases. At the largest size scale, new observations from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), the Sloan Digital Survey and other telescopes have reduced the uncertainties in the values of such cosmic parameters as the Hubble constant, the age of the universe, and the fractions of total energy vested in the form of dark and luminous matter ( www.aip.org/enews/physnews/2003/split/624-1.html www.aip.org/enews/physnews/2003/split/659-1.html ). Going to the opposite extreme, at the level of elementary matter, new data indicate that quarks needn't appear only in clumps of three (baryons) or two (mesons). Work at SLAC (US) and KEK (Japan) hint that quarks might also exist in "tetraquark" states ( http://www.aip.org/enews/physnews/2003/split/643-1.html

Condensed Matter Experiment G ENERAL D ESCRIPTION The breadth and impact of condensed matter physics makes it a central part of any excellent physics department. It extends over areas as diverse as complex fluids, non-linear phenomena, semiconductors, magnetism, critical phenomena, superconductivity, mesoscopic systems and surface physics. Additionally, much of the modern technology that energizes today's society (eg electronics, magnetics and photonics) is rooted in condensed matter physics. Guenter Ahlers' research focuses on critical phenomena and pattern formation in nonlinear systems. He uses nano-Kelvin thermometry to measure thermodynamic and transport properties near the superfluid transition of liquid Helium. The study of spatio-temporal chaos in non-linear driven systems is a second strong theme in Ahlers' research. David Cannell uses laser light scattering and other techniques to study systems of interest in statistical physics. Current experiments are exploring the effect that rigid dilute silica gel has on the critical demixing transition for fluid mixtures. A strong effort on transport, optics and magnetics in semiconductor quantum structures is maintained by Dave Awschalom, Elisabeth Gwinn, Mark Sherwin and Jim Allen. Awschalom uses femto-second optics and scanning probe techniques on new magnetic semiconductor heterostructures. Sherwin, Allen and Gwinn use the UCSB Free Electron Laser to explore dynamics in quantum structures far from equilibrium.

This is the leitmotiv of Didier Sornette's book, who in Critical Phenomena in Natural Sciences reviews three decades of developments and applications of the concepts of criticality, scale invariance and power law behaviour from statistical physics, to earthquake prediction, ruptures, plate tectonics, modelling biological and economic systems and so on. This strongly interdisciplinary book addresses students and researchers in disciplines where concepts of criticality and scale invariance are appropriate: mainly geology from which most of the examples are taken, but also engineering, biology, medicine, economics, etc. A good preparation in quantitative science is assumed but the presentation of statistical physics principles, tools and models is self-contained, so that little background in this field is needed. The book is written in a simple informal style encouraging intuitive comprehension rather than stressing formal derivations. Together with the discussion of the main conceptual results of the discipline, great effort is devoted to providing applied scientists with the tools of data analysis and modelling necessary to analyse, understand, make predictions and simulate systems undergoing complex collective behaviour.

Tackling something as big as the Universe requires the combined talents of a wide range of people, each skilled in a particular area. For example, those with a mathematical bent may apply general relativity to the study of black holes or cosmology. Those who enjoy computing may specialise in computer control of telescopes or numerical analysis of astronomical data.

Srinivas Sridhar, professor of physics, in his lab in the Egan Center. Waves of Chaos Srinivas Sridhar Billiard tables, vibrating drums, microwaves in cavities, and quantum mechanics: these seemingly unconnected things come together in the research on quantum chaos that my students and I carry out. Both quantum mechanics and chaos defy our common sense and intuition. In chaos, a particle seemingly disobeys the commonly observed repeatability to which we are accustomed. In quantum mechanics, a particle does not even behave like a particle; instead it acquires the characteristics of a wave. This latter notion has occupied some of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century and still offers many fascinating puzzles. The interface between quantum and classical properties is a key area of modern research in physics. How does this manifest itself in the tiny world of electrons and other quantum particles? Are the properties of an electron different between a regular and a Sinai billiard table of tiny, atomic dimensions? In other words, does classical chaos affect quantum mechanics? One of the first scientists to raise this issue was Einstein, although it took another half a century before further answers emerged.
