Jumping out of water is a phenomenon exhibited by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Yet, there is no common groundwork that clarifies the physical constraints required to jump out of water. In this study, we elucidate the physical conditions r ...

Second Harmonic and Sum-Frequency Generation from Aqueous Interfaces Is Modulated by Interference

Sylvie Roke, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks

The interfacial region of aqueous systems also known as the electrical double layer can be characterized on the molecular level with second harmonic and sum-frequency generation (SHG/SFG). SHG and SFG are surface specific methods for isotropic liquids. Her ...

Experimental assessment of the speed of light perturbation in free-fall absolute gravimeters

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Precision absolute gravity measurements are growing in importance, especially in the context of the new definition of the kilogram. For the case of free fall absolute gravimeters with a Michelson-type interferometer tracking the position of a free falling ...

Retardation-induced plasmonic blinking in coupled nanoparticles

Olivier Martin, Holger Fischer

We study how retardation leads to interference effects in radiatively coupled plasmonic nanoparticles. We show that inclined illumination through a glass substrate on two plasmonic particles results in either an enhanced field or an attenuated field locali ...
