Effects of resonant tunneling on intrinsic linewidth of quantum cascade lasers by Liu, T., Wang, Q. J.

“…The quantum Langevin analysis for QCLs show that coupling strength and dephasing rate strongly affect the linewidth of THz QCLs in incoherent resonant-tunneling transport regime, but induce insignificant influence for mid-infrared QCLs due to strong coupling.…”

Can the war on Iraq bring democracy to the Middle East? by Bouchaib Silm.

“…The war on Iraq was based on insufficient documents that failed to provide legitimization to the war, and also sought to criminalize Saddam's regime. As a result, the idea of a democratic Middle East is facing criticism. …”

Hobbes and the tragedy of democracy by Holman, Christopher

“…For Hobbes these two conditions combine to render democracy a tragic regime. Democracy is tragic to the extent that it must be a regime of self-limitation, there existing no ethical standard external to society that may intervene so as to guide our political self-activity, and yet the structure of deliberation in democratic assemblies tends to render such self-limitation impossible. …”

Delocalized Davydov D1 Ansatz for the Holstein polaron by Sun, Jin, Duan, Liwei, Zhao, Yang

“…The delocalized D1 Ansatz lowers the ground-state energies at the Brillouin zone boundary significantly compared with the Toyozawa and Global-Local Ansätze in the weak coupling regime, while considerable improvement is demonstrated to have been achieved over the entire Brillouin zone in the strong coupling regime. …”

A study on dense plasmas using molecular dynamics and X-ray scattering techniques by Mabey, P

“…The results are compared to recent experimental data, suggesting electron-ion dynamical effects could play a crucial role in the dynamic properties of matter in the WDM regime.</p>…”

Coherently tunable triangular trefoil phaseonium metamaterial by Soci, Cesare, Nguyen, Duc Minh, Ooi, Raymond C. H.

“…We find that, in the metallic regime, the phaseonium metamaterial structure supports extremely large transmission, with optical amplification at large enough intensity of the microwave thanks to strong surface plasmon coupling; while, in the dielectric regime without microwave excitation, the transmission bandwidth can be tuned by varying the control beam intensity. …”

Effect of strong electric fields on material responses : the Bloch oscillation resonance in high field conductivities by Singh, Satyvir, Battiato, Marco

“…We then extend the method to strong electric fields and show how the responses are deviated from the low-field ones and the transition to a dampened Bloch oscillation regime. Most importantly, we report the observation of a new regime induced by the resonance between the standard low-field response and Bloch oscillations.…”
