AbstractThe fullerene materials are well known for their non-linear behaviour arising from excited state absorption processes. In solution, the processes can set in at low irradiance levels, although evidence is building that the magnitude of the effects is dependent on the solvent used in the experiments and the role of charge transfer processes. In evaporated films of C60, the solvent is absent and reduced non-linearities are seen as irradiances approach the laser damage threshold of the films. When the chromophor is incorporated into polymer films, non-linear processes are found at the same levels as the solution case provided that some residual solvent remains in the composite. Excited state absorption spectra suggest that some ionisation of the C60 may be occuring.

The author examines visual design considerations in the development of real-time screen scores. Such scores are shown to lend themselves particularly well to the representation of non-linear musical processes and the articulation of non-linear musical forms. The author argues that the foregrounding of such scores, through their projection for an audience and meticulous design, draws especial attention to the manner in which such non-linear processes are represented and in turn decoded by performers. While the transparency of the decoding process is shown to vary across a wide spectrum, the central role of the notational schema in works such as these is shown to align them in many ways with a broader interface aesthetics, promoting rich fields of creative and artistic enquiry.

The astronomical data show that most of the mass in the Universe is dark. At present there are a few models of the dark matter: (i) the standard neutrino model, (ii) the model with unstable neutrinos, (iii) axion model. All models can be modified with Λ - term which plays role of the homogeneous component of the dark matter. In this paper the non-linear processes of gravitational instability are briefly discussed.

To take advantage of the singular properties of matter, as well as to characterize it, we need to interact with it. The role of optical spectroscopies is to enable us to demonstrate the existence of physical objects by observing their response to light excitation. The ability of spectroscopy to reveal the structure and properties of matter then relies on mathematical functions called optical (or dielectric) response functions. Technically, these are tensor Green’s functions, and not scalar functions. The complexity of this tensor formalism sometimes leads to confusion within some articles and books. Here, we do clarify this formalism by introducing the physical foundations of linear and non-linear spectroscopies as simple and rigorous as possible. We dwell on both the mathematical and experimental aspects, examining extinction, infrared, Raman and sum-frequency generation spectroscopies. In this review, we thus give a personal presentation with the aim of offering the reader a coherent vision of linear and non-linear optics, and to remove the ambiguities that we have encountered in reference books and articles.

This article explores the role of remembering and history in the process of planning new spaces. We trace how the organizational remembering of past spaces enters the conception (i.e. planning) of a large culture center. By drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s reflections on history, time and memory, we analyze the processual interconnections of his spatial triad, namely between the planned, practiced, and lived moments of the production of space. We find that over time space planning involves recurrent, changing, and contested narratives on ‘lost spaces’, remembering happy spaces of the past that articulate a desire to regain them. The notion of lost space adds to our understanding of how space planning involves, through organizational remembering, a sociomaterial and spatiotemporal work of relating together different spaces and times in non-linear narratives of repetition.
