Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are some of the most extensively studied nanomaterials.
Because of their unique optical, chemical, electrical, and catalytic properties, AuNPs have …

Local electric field (LEF) distribution near Ag, Au, AgAu NPs synthesized by UV laser or
temperature treatments, and near simulated Rb, AgRb, AuRb NPs in oxide glasses, was …

Organic coatings have been widely used in atomic physics during the last 50 years because
of their mechanical properties, allowing preservation of atomic spins after collisions …

Alkali-filled hollow-core fibers are a promising medium for investigating light–matter
interactions, especially at the single-photon level, due to the tight confinement of light and …

We show that Fresnel zone plates (ZPs), fabricated in a solid surface, can sharply focus
atomic Bose–Einstein condensates that quantum reflect from the surface or pass through the …

We investigate the time dynamics of light-induced desorption of Rb atoms in hollow-core
photonic-band-gap fibers and demonstrate all-optical generation of precisely controlled Rb …

We present a study of light-induced atom desorption (LIAD) of an alkali-metal atom (Rb) in
porous alumina. We observe the variation due to LIAD of the rubidium density in a vapor cell …

Cesium bromide (CsBr) films grown on glass substrates by thermal evaporation showed
prominent absorption peaks in the UV-visible region. Interestingly, these absorption spectra …

We review some recent studies on light-induced atomic desorption (LIAD) from dielectric
surfaces. Alkali-metal atoms adsorbed either on organic films or on porous glass are …

We studied the absorption spectrum of dense rubidium vapor generated in a T-type sapphire
cell with a special emphasis on the structured photoionization continuum observed in the …
