This chapter presents experimental studies performed on planar semiconductor microcavities in the strong-coupling regime. The first section reviews linear experiments performed in the 1990s that evidence the linear optical properties of cavity exciton-polaritons. The chapter is then focused on experimental and theoretical studies of resonantly excited microcavity emission. We mainly describe experimental configuations in which stimulated scattering was observed due to formation of a dynamical condensate of polaritons. Pump-probe and cw experiments are described in addition. Dressing of the polariton dispersion and bistability of the polariton system due to inter-condensate interactions are discussed. The semiclassical and the quantum theories of these effects are presented and their results analysed. The potential for realization of devices is also discussed.

In this Chapter we address the physics of Bose-Einstein condensation and its implications to a driven-dissipative system such as the polariton laser. We discuss the dynamics of exciton-polaritons non-resonantly pumped within a microcavity in the strong coupling regime. It is shown how the stimulated scattering of exciton-polaritons leads to formation of bosonic condensates that may be stable at elevated temperatures, including room temperature.

This article presents the review of experimental and theoretical studies on ultra-low-frequency MHD oscillations of the geomagnetic tail. We consider the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability at the magnetopause, oscillations with a discrete spectrum in the “magic frequencies” range, the ballooning instability of coupled Alfvén and slow magnetosonic waves, and “flapping” oscillations of the current sheet of the geomagnetic tail. Over the last decade, observations from THEMIS, CLUSTER and Double Star satellites have been of great importance for experimental studies. The use of several spacecraft allows us to study the structure of MHD oscillations with high spatial resolution. Due to this, we can make a detailed comparison between theoretical results and those obtained from multi-spacecraft studies. To make such comparisons in theoretical studies, in turn, we have to use the numerical models closest to the real magnetosphere.

The article describes a developed technique of a numerical simulation of the stress-strain state of complex-reinforced elements, which allows you to create models of double-span continuous. The performed experimental and theoretical studies allowed us to carry out the testing of the developed design model and to justify the reliability of the proposed numerical simulation methodology. The results of the experimental studies were compared with those of the theoretical studies. The theoretical calculus algorithm was developed by using the finite element method. Theoretical calculations were performed by using the mathematical-graphical environment software system LIRA-SOFT and the mathematical and computer program MATLAB. On the basis of the experimental research, the iso-fields of displacements and stresses in the materials of an eccentrically compressed beam with a small bend of the slab were constructed, which collapse behind the inclined narrow strip of concrete and displacements and stresses in the materials of the eccentrically stretched beam, which is destroyed due to the yield of the upper mounting armature.

Abstract2-Ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC) is one of the most commonly used sunscreen ingredient. In this study we investigated photodegradation of EHMC in the presence of such common oxidizing and chlorinating systems as H2O2, H2O2/HCl, H2O2/UV, and H2O2/HCl/UV. Reaction products were detected by gas chromatography with a mass spectrometric detector (GC-MS). As a result of experimental studies chloro-substituted 4-methoxycinnamic acid (4-MCA), 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (4-MBA) and 4-methoxyphenol (4-MP) were identified. Experimental studies were enriched with DFT and MP2 calculations. We found that reactions of 4-MCA, 4-MBA and 4-MP with Cl2 and HOCl were in all cases thermodynamically favorable. However, reactivity indices provide a better explanation of the formation of particular chloroorganic compounds. Generally, those isomeric forms of mono- and dichlorinated compounds which exhibits the highest hardness were identified. Nucleophilicity of the chloroorganic compounds precursors were examined by means of the Fukui function.

As a result of experimental and theoretical studies, the patterns of behavior of rocks in a condition close to destructive are the focal nature of the preparation of macrocracking, which allowed us to include the mesocrack structure of the material, which is the main element in the preparation of macrocracking. Differences in this new approach to mathematical modeling will let adequately describe dissipative mesocrack structures of various hierarchical levels of geodesy, predict dynamic changes, structures and mechanical properties of both rock samples and massif, which also lead to resource-intensive experimental studies. In this paper, with usage of the methods of cluster, factor, and statistical analysis, we set the task of processing the data of experimental studies of the laws of deformation and preparing macro-fracture of rock samples by various methods, including acoustic and deformation observations.

Theoretical and experimental studies have been made of the growth and collapse of fixed cavities in a two-dimensional convergent-divergent nozzle. In this particular configuration an important feature was a re-entrant liquid jet which invaded the growing cavity from the downstream end, travelling upstream along the wall and interrupting the cavity when it reached the nozzle throat. A simple two-dimensional unsteady potential flow theory, developed to model the cycle, gave reasonable agreement with cinephotography and predicted the jet behavior. Because vaporization was neglected the theory overestimated the speed of the cycle.

Joint experimental and theoretical studies have been carried out to identify the stability of aluminum gold clusters. The experimental studies where the AlnAu- clusters are generated via laser vaporization in a flow reactor and subsequently reacted with oxygen indicate that Al6Au- is an exceptionally stable species that is not only resistant to etching by oxygen but also grows in intensity when AlnAu- clusters are exposed to oxygen. Theoretical studies indicate that the six aluminum atoms in Al6Au- form an octahedron and that the Au atom occupies a hollow site above the triangular face of the octahedron. It is shown that it takes much larger energy to remove an Al or a Au atom compared to that for neighboring sizes, and this accounts for its resistance to oxygen. The special stability is rooted in the electronic spectrum that is marked by a large HOMO-LUMO gap of 1.38 eV, and the system is best described as a nearly free electron gas of 20 electrons.

It is well known that the bonding failure between concrete and externally bonded CFRP strips sets in where high shear forces and high bending moments occur. Despite this knowledge, experimental and theoretical studies had been exclusively focused on the bonding failure modes at the end of the CFRP-strip. This paper deals with strengthening of RC two-way slabs with CFRP strips bonded to the tensile face. It focuses on the bonding failure by dealing with an experimental study. The CFRP-strips strengthened slab test presents a failure mode with debonding of the external CFRP strips from the slab.

Experimental and theoretical studies on the evolution of shock waves in air plasma induced by laser spark have been carried out. The systematic study of the shock wave has been performed experimentally and 1-D numerical code of radiation hydrodynamics (1-DRHC) has been used to simulate the later stage of laser spark in air. The numerical results on the propagation of shock waves and the expansion of hot plasma are presented and subsequent results on the first divergent and convergent shock waves are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.
