Abstract We study the dynamics of the holographic s-wave superconductors described by the Einstein-Maxwell-complex scalar field theory with a negative cosmological constant. If the eigenfunction of the linearized equation of motion of the scalar field in the planar RNAdS black hole background is chosen as the initial data, the bulk system will evolve to the intermediate state that corresponds to the excited state superconductor on the boundary. The process can be regarded as the non-equilibrium condensation process of the excited state of holographic superconductor. When the linear superposition of the eigenfunctions is chosen as the initial data, the system will go through a series of the intermediate states corresponding to different overtone numbers, which can be regarded as the dynamical transition process between the excited states of holographic superconductor. Because the intermediate states are metastable, the bulk system eventually evolves to the stationary state that corresponds the ground state of the holographic superconductor. We also provide a global and physical picture of the evolution dynamics of the black hole and the corresponding superconducting phase transition from the funneled landscape view, quantifying the weights of the states and characterizing the transitions and cascades towards the ground state.

AbstractIn this paper we investigate the model of the anti-de Sitter gravity coupled to a Maxwell field and a free, complex scalar field, and construct a fully back-reacted holographic model of superconductor with excited states. With the fixed charge q, there exist a series of excited states of holographic superconductor with the corresponding critical chemical potentials. The condensates as functions of the temperature for the two operators $${\mathcal {O}}_1$$ O 1 and $${\mathcal {O}}_2$$ O 2 of excited states are also studied. For the optical conductivity in the excited states, we find that there exist the additional peaks in the imaginary and real parts of the conductivity. Moreover, the number of peaks corresponding to n-th excited state is equal to n.

<p></p><p> Damage to RNA from ultraviolet radiation induce chemical modifications to the nucleobases. Unraveling the excited states involved in these reactions is essential, but investigations aimed at understanding the electronic-energy relaxation pathways of the RNA nucleotide uridine 5’-monophosphate (UMP) have not received enough attention. In this Letter, the excited-state dynamics of UMP is investigated in aqueous solution. Excitation at 267 nm results in a trifurcation event that leads to the simultaneous population of the vibrationally-excited ground state, a longlived <sup>1</sup>n<sub>O</sub>π* state, and a receiver triplet state within 200 fs. The receiver state internally convert to the long-lived <sup>3</sup>ππ* state in an ultrafast time scale. The results elucidate the electronic relaxation pathways and clarify earlier transient absorption experiments performed for uracil derivatives in solution. This mechanistic information is important because long-lived nπ* and ππ* excited states of both singlet and triplet multiplicities are thought to lead to the formation of harmful photoproducts.</p><p></p>

On-the-fly excited state molecular dynamics is a valuable method for studying non-equilibrium processes in excited states and is beginning to emerge as a mature approach much like its ground state counterparts.

The energies of some neutron groups leading to low excited states of "C in the reaction lOB(d,ny)"C have been measured. These lead to values of 4�3�0�3 MeV and 6�53 � O' 02 MeV for the energies of the second and fourth excited states respectively. y-Ray spectra have also been studied in coincidence with different neutron groups. Ground state transitions were observed from the second, third, and fourth excited states, together with cascade decays of the fourth excited state through each of the second and third. Deductions from these y-ray spectra considerably reduce the number of spin possibilities which have been found for these levels by other workers.

The millimeter-wave rotational spectra of the ground and excited vibrational states v(A), v1(E) =1 and v2(E ) =1 of the oblate symmetric top molecule, (CH2O)3, have been analyzed again. The B0= 5273.25747MHz, DJ= 1.334547 kHz, DJk= -2.0206 kHz, HJ(-1.01 mHz), HJK(-3.80 mHz), and HKJ(4.1 mHz) have been determined for ground state. For non degenerate excited state, vA(1), the B = 5260.227723 MHz and DJand DJKwere determined 1.27171 kHz and -1.8789 kHz respectively. The 1=±1 series have been assigned in two different excited states v1(E) =1 and v2(E) =1.Most of the parameters were determined with higher accuracy compare with before. For the v2(E) =1 state the Cζ=-1940.54(11) MHz and qJ= 0.0753 (97) kHz were determined for the first time.

We study the quantum scalar field in the background of BTZ black hole and evaluate the entanglement entropy of the nonvacuum states. The entropy is proportional to the area of event horizon for the ground state, but the area law is violated in the case of nonvacuum states (first excited state and mixed states) and the corrections scale as power law.

State-specific ionization efficiencies for excited Li and Na atoms in acetylene/air flames have been determined. The ionization efficiencies, i.e., the probability that the excited atoms ionize instead of returning to the ground state, are determined by relating collision-assisted Laser-Enhanced Ionization (LEI) signals from various excited states with laser-induced photoionization signals. The ionization efficiencies are found to decrease (from being one at the ionization limit) almost monotonically as the lower atoms are excited. The most striking feature, however, is that the decrease of the ionization efficiency values is generally found to be less than the decrease of the Boltzmann factor, exp(- δE/kT), when the energy difference, δE, between the excited state and the ionization limit is increased. The ionization efficiencies are found to be close to unity for states with δE < kT and approximately 50% for states with δE ≈ 2.5 kT ( np ≈ 6 p). For the lower states, the ionization efficiencies are found to be approximately five times larger than the Boltzmann factor.

We study general models for holographic superconductors with higher correction terms of the scalar field in the four-dimensional AdS black hole background including the matter fields' backreaction on the metric. We explore the effects of the model parameters on the scalar condensation and find that different values of model parameters can determine the order of phase transitions. Moreover, we find that the higher correction terms provide richer physics in the phase transition diagram.

Considering the entanglement between quantum field degrees of freedom inside and outside the horizon as a plausible source of black-hole entropy, we address the question: where are the degrees of freedom that give rise to this entropy located? When the field is in ground state, the black-hole area law is obeyed and the degrees of freedom near the horizon contribute most to the entropy. However, for excited state, or a superposition of ground state and excited state, power-law corrections to the area law are obtained, and more significant contributions from the degrees of freedom far from the horizon are shown.PACS Nos.: 04.60.–m, 04.62., 04.70.–s, 03.65.Ud
