Unusual light spectra from a two-level atom in squeezed vacuum

We investigate the interaction of an atom with a multi-channel squeezed vacuum. It turns out that the light coming out in a particular channel can have anomalous spectral properties, among them asymmetry of the spectrum, absence of the central peak as well as central hole burning for particular parameters. As an example plane-wave squeezing is considered. In this case the above phenomena can occur for the light spectra in certain directions. In the total spectrum these phenomena are washed out.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX, 3 figures (included via epsf

Spin transitions induced by a magnetic field in quantum dot molecules

We present a theoretical study of magnetic field driven spin transitions of electrons in coupled lateral quantum dot molecules. A detailed numerical study of spin phases of artificial molecules composed of two laterally coupled quantum dots with N=8 electrons is presented as a function of magnetic field, Zeeman energy, and the detuning using real space Hartree-Fock Configuration Interaction (HF-CI) technique. A microscopic picture of quantum Hall ferromagnetic phases corresponding to zero and full spin polarization at filling factors $\nu=2$ and $\nu=1$, and ferrimagnetic phases resulting from coupling of the two dots, is presented.Comment: 12 pages, 18 figure

Application of a New Non-Linear Least Squares Velocity Curve Analysis Technique for Spectroscopic Binary Stars

Using measured radial velocity data of nine double lined spectroscopic binary systems NSV 223, AB And, V2082 Cyg, HS Her, V918 Her, BV Dra, BW Dra, V2357 Oph, and YZ Cas, we find corresponding orbital and spectroscopic elements via the method introduced by Karami & Mohebi (2007a) and Karami & Teimoorinia (2007). Our numerical results are in good agreement with those obtained by others using more traditional methods.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. Accepted for publication in Astrophysics & Space Scienc
