Abstract

The tremendous development of the electron magnetic resonance (EMR), i.e. EPR, ESR, and related spectroscopic techniques, and their applications in a number of fields is accompanied by a rather messy situation in the underlying theoretical framework. This is especially true concerning the EPR of transition ions in crystals, where an abundance of notations and lack of widely accepted clear definitions of the basic theoretical concepts characterize the current situation. As a consequence, proliferation of a number of terminological misconceptions and incorrect relations for the zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters has taken place. Major problems detrimental for the future of EMR as well as the efforts aimed at alleviating these problems are reviewed. Rationales for coordinated activities in three major directions are outlined. This includes (a) unification of spin Hamiltonian notations, (b) unification of EMR nomenclature, and (c) making better use of the various categories of data generated during EMR studies. Appropriate actions are proposed in each area, including ways of achieving internationally accepted notation standards, working out a glossary of EMR terms, setting up guidelines for presentation of EMR data, and establishment of EMR-related databases. Successful implementation of the proposals put forward here requires coordination of the activities at the international level in cooperation with the whole EMR community. Possible organizational framework for such activities and their coordination is also discussed.

Spectral Representation for the Effective Macroscopic Response of a Polycrystal: Application to Third-Order Nonlinear Susceptibility

Erratum: In our paper, we show that the spectral representation for isotropic two-component composites also applies to uniaxial polycrystals. We have learned that this result was, in fact, first conjectured by G.W. Milton. While our derivation is more detailed, our result for the spectral function is the same as Milton's. We very much regret not having been aware of this work at the time of writing our paper. Original abstract: We extend the spectral theory used for the calculation of the effective linear response functions of composites to the case of a polycrystalline material with uniaxially anisotropic microscopic symmetry. As an application, we combine these results with a nonlinear decoupling approximation as modified by Ma et al., to calculate the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of a uniaxial polycrystal, assuming that the effective dielectric function of the polycrystal can be calculated within the effective-medium approximation.

Towards quantum well hot hole lasers

It should be possible to improve hot-hole laser performance by moving from bulk materials to a quantum well structure. The extra design parameters enable us to alter the band structure by changing the crystal orientation of the growth direction; to use the well width to shift the subband offsets, enabling the effect of the LO phonon scattering cut-off to be controlled; and to use modulation doping to ensure a high hole concentration to increase the gain without the dopants being present in the gain region. We present the first simulations of THz quantum well hot-hole lasers that can produce inversion and optical gain.
