1 Morse, Michael DavidA pair potentials study of matrix-isolated atomic zinc. II. Intersystem crossing in rare-gas clusters and matricesThe mechanism of 4p 1P1?4p 3PJ intersystem crossing (ISC) following excitation of the 4p 1P1 level of matrix-isolated atomic zinc is investigated using a pair potentials approach. This is achieved by extending earlier ISC calculations on the Zn?RG2 and Zn?RG3 complexes to the square planar Zn?RG4 ...1998

11 Gondolo, PaoloEvidence for "sterile neutrino" dark matter?I show that it may be possible to explain the present evidence for a gamma-ray emission from the galactic halo as due to halo WIMP annihilations. Not only the intensity and spatial pattern of the halo emission can be matched but also the relic density of the candidate WIMP can be in the cosmologica...Sterile neutrino; WIMP; Weakly interacting massive particles; Annihilations; Z boson; Higgs sector1998
12 Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Taylor, P. CraigExcitation energy dependence of photoinduced absorption in intrinsic a-Si:HWe have studied subgap absorption of intrinsic a-Si:H induced by below- and above-gap photoexcitation. We find very similar photoinduced subgap absorption spectra when excited with 2.4 eV or 1.2 eV light. Both spectra exhibit a power-law dependence on laser intensity ?T ~ 1a, where a is 0.5 and 0.7...Intrinsic a-Si:H; Subgap absorption; Photoinduced absorption; Gap photoexcitation; Photomodulation; Electronic states1998
