Dynamic atomic-scale electron avalanche breakdown in solid dielectrics
Simulation of dynamic electron avalanche process
Taking BaTiO3 as an example, we first analyze the possible region where collision ionization and bond breakage occur by comparing the atomic features in a unit cell. As shown in Fig. 2a, owing to…

Adiabatons in a double tripod coherent atom-light coupling scheme
Initial equations
Now, we investigate a DT type atomic system (Fig. 1b) involving three metastable ground states \(|0\rangle\), \(|1\rangle\) and \(|2\rangle\), as well as excited states \(|e_{1}\rangle\) and \(|e_{2}\rangle\). Six laser fields…
