Probing Nonequilibrium Electron Distributions In Gold By Use Of Second Harmonic Generation, K. L. Moore '99, Thomas D. Donnelly Jul 1999

Probing Nonequilibrium Electron Distributions In Gold By Use Of Second Harmonic Generation, K. L. Moore '99, Thomas D. Donnelly

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

Second-harmonic radiation is generated at a gold surface by use of a laser pulse that is varied in duration from 14 to 29 fs and in intensity from 109 to 1011W/cm2 . At laser intensities below 1010W/cm2 , the second-harmonic signal has the expected quadratic dependence on pump-laser intensity; however, at higher intensities, the dependence is supraquadratic. This difference arises because the leading edge of the laser pulse interacts significantly with the gold electrons to create a nonequilibrium, photoexcited distribution. The second-harmonic generation process occurs before electron–electron or electron–phonon collisions can equilibrate the …

Black Holes And The Sym Diagram. Ii, Emil Martinec, Vatche Sahakian May 1999

Black Holes And The Sym Diagram. Ii, Emil Martinec, Vatche Sahakian

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

The complete phase diagram of objects in M theory compactified on tori Tp,p=1,2,3, is elaborated. Phase transitions occur when the object localizes on cycle(s) (the Gregory-Laflamme transition), or when the area of the localized part of the horizon becomes one in string units (the Horowitz-Polchinski correspondence point). The low-energy, near-horizon geometry that governs a given phase can match onto a variety of asymptotic regimes. The analysis makes it clear that the matrix conjecture is a special case of the Maldacena conjecture.

The Open Source Revolution: Transforming The Software Industry With Help From The Government, Mitchell L. Stoltz Apr 1999

The Open Source Revolution: Transforming The Software Industry With Help From The Government, Mitchell L. Stoltz

Pomona Senior Theses

A new method for making software is stealthily gaining ground in the computer industry, offering a promise of better, cheaper software and the empowerment of the user. The open source movement could revolutionize the software industry...if it succeeds. Open source means software that you are allowed to copy, modify, and give to friends. Source code , the lists of instructions which tell computers how to run, is readily available, allowing you to look inside the workings of a program and change it to suit your needs. A group of programmers, companies, users, and activists have gathered in support of this …

The Best Way To Knock 'M Down, Arthur T. Benjamin, Matthew T. Fluet '99 Apr 1999

The Best Way To Knock 'M Down, Arthur T. Benjamin, Matthew T. Fluet '99

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

"Knock 'm Down" is a game of dice that is so easy to learn that it is being played in classrooms around the world. Although this game has been effective at developing students' intuition about probability [Fendel et al. 1997; Hunt 1998], we will show that lurking underneath this deceptively simple game are many surprising and highly unintuitive results.
