Radiation trapping and Lévy flights in atomic vapours: an introductory review
Martine Chevrollier
Multiple scattering is a process in which a particle is repeatedly deflected by other particles. In an overwhelming majority of cases, the ensuing random walk can successfully be d…
Laser-induced atomic adsorption: a mechanism for nanofilm formation
Weliton S. Martins, Thierry Passerat de Silans, Marcos Oriá +1
We demonstrate and interpret a technique of laser-induced formation of thin metallic films using alkali atoms on the window of a dense-vapour cell. We show that this intriguing pho…
Selective reflection technique as a probe to monitor the growth of a metallic thin film on dielectric surfaces
Weliton Soares Martins, Marcos Oriá, Martine Chevrollier +1
Controlling thin film formation is technologically challenging. The knowledge of physical properties of the film and of the atoms in the surface vicinity can help improve control o…
Tunable power law in the desynchronization events of coupled chaotic electronic circuits
Gilson F. de Oliveira, Hugo L. D. de Souza Cavalcante, Orlando di Lorenzo +3
We study the statistics of the amplitude of the synchronization error in chaotic electronic circuits coupled through linear feedback. Depending on the coupling strength, our system…
Microscopic characterization of Lévy flights of light in atomic vapors
Nicolas Mercadier, Martine Chevrollier, William Guerin +1
We investigate multiple scattering of near-resonant light in a Doppler-broadened atomic vapor. We experimentally characterize the length distribution of the steps between successiv…
