Developments on the UK FMOS project for the Subaru telescope (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lewis, I. J., Dalton, G. B., Holmes, A. R., Brooks, B., Band, C., Tosh, I. A., Woodhouse, G. F., Cavan, N., Murray, G. J., Robertson, D. J., Dipper, N. A., & Luke, P. (2003, March). Developments on the UK FMOS project for the Subaru telescope. Presented at Instrument Design and Performance for Optical/Infrared Ground-based Telescopes, Waikoloa, Hawai'i

We describe the UK participation in the FMOS project to provide multi-object IR spectroscopy for the Subaru telescope. The UK is working on the design of an OH suppression IR spectrograph, this work comprises the optical design, the opto-mechanical l...

Photoemission spectroscopy of clean and potassium-intercalated carbon onions (2003)
Journal Article
Montalti, M., Krishnamurthy, S., Chao, Y., Butenko, Y., Kuznetsov, V., Dhanak, V., …Šiller, L. (2003). Photoemission spectroscopy of clean and potassium-intercalated carbon onions. Physical review B, 67(11), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.67.113401

Hollow onionlike carbon (OLC), generated by annealing nanodiamond at 2140 K, has been studied by core-level and valence-band photoemission spectroscopy. Upon intercalation with potassium, core and valence states of the OLC show an almost rigid shift... Read More about Photoemission spectroscopy of clean and potassium-intercalated carbon onions.

Spectral modeling of the three spectral states of the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 (2003)
Journal Article
Sobolewska, M., & Zycki, P. (2003). Spectral modeling of the three spectral states of the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 400(2), 553-558. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361%3A20030020

We have analyzed Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer spectral data of the Galactic micro-quasar GRS 1915+105 in its various spectral states, as defined by Belloni et al. (2000). In states A and B the spectra are dominated by a strong soft thermal component,... Read More about Spectral modeling of the three spectral states of the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105.

Signatures of Quantum Stability in a Classically Chaotic System. (2003)
Journal Article
Schlunk, S., d'Arcy, M., Gardiner, S., Cassettari, D., Godun, R., & Summy, G. (2003). Signatures of Quantum Stability in a Classically Chaotic System. Physical Review Letters, 90(5), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.90.054101

We experimentally and numerically investigate the quantum accelerator mode dynamics of an atom optical realization of the quantum delta-kicked accelerator, whose classical dynamics are chaotic. Using a Ramsey-type experiment, we observe interference,... Read More about Signatures of Quantum Stability in a Classically Chaotic System..

Estimation of anisoplanatism in adaptive optics by generalized SCIDAR profiling (2003)
Journal Article
Wilson, R., Wooder, N., Rigal, F., & Dainty, J. (2003). Estimation of anisoplanatism in adaptive optics by generalized SCIDAR profiling. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 339(2), 491-494. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06198.x

We present the results of contemporaneous seeing measurements using a multi-object Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor, SCIDAR optical turbulence profiling, and a DIMM seeing monitor at the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma. The data are used to det... Read More about Estimation of anisoplanatism in adaptive optics by generalized SCIDAR profiling.

Magnetic domain-wall dynamics in a submicrometre ferromagnetic structure (2003)
Journal Article
Atkinson, D., Allwood, D., Xiong, G., Cooke, M., Faulkner, C., & Cowburn, R. (2003). Magnetic domain-wall dynamics in a submicrometre ferromagnetic structure. Nature Materials, 2(2), 85-87. https://doi.org/10.1038/nmat803

As fabrication technology pushes the dimensions of ferromagnetic structures into the nanoscale, understanding the magnetization processes of these structures is of fundamental interest, and key to future applications in hard disk drives, magnetic ran...

Cryogenic Tests of Volume-Phase Holographic Gratings: I. Results at 200 K. (2003)
Journal Article
Tamura, N., Murray, G., Luke, P., Blackburn, C., Robertson, D., Dipper, N., …Allington-Smith, J. (2003). Cryogenic Tests of Volume-Phase Holographic Gratings: I. Results at 200 K. Experimental Astronomy, 15(1), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1023/b%3Aexpa.0000028163.98901.d9

We present results from cryogenic tests of a Volume-Phase Holographic(VPH) grating at 200 K measured at near-infrared wavelengths. The aims of these tests were to see whether the diffraction efficiency and angular dispersion of a VPH grating are sign... Read More about Cryogenic Tests of Volume-Phase Holographic Gratings: I.
