AbstractPhase singularities appear ubiquitously in wavefields, regardless of the wave equation. Such topological defects can lead to wavefront dislocations, as observed in a humongous number of classical wave experiments. Phase singularities of wave functions are also at the heart of the topological classification of the gapped phases of matter. Despite identical singular features, topological insulators and topological defects in waves remain two distinct fields. Realising 1D microwave insulators, we experimentally observe a wavefront dislocation – a 2D phase singularity – in the local density of states when the systems undergo a topological phase transition. We show theoretically that the change in the number of interference fringes at the transition reveals the topological index that characterises the band topology in the insulator.

The theoretical lifetime of excess carriers in semiconductors limited only by the Auger recombination mechanism previously discussed by the present authors, depends on a temperature-independent parameter. This involves certain overlap integrals. They are of the form ∫ u *(k 1 , r) u (k 2 , r) dr, where the u ’s are the modulating parts of Bloch wave functions. The integrals are calculated in this paper on the basis of a Kronig-Penney model. The value of the parameter obtained is shown to be rather insensitive to many details of the model used. When the value found is inserted into the previously published theory of lifetimes in InSb, very good agreement is obtained with the more detailed experimental results which have recently become available. This strongly suggests that the dominant recombination mechanism in InSb at elevated temperatures has been identified. A more general analysis of the properties of the overlap integrals is also given in this paper.

AbstractHigh-lying doubly excited states of He and H− are studied and energies and intrinsic characteristics of their wave-functions are reported. Results for energies of 3Po and 1D doubly excited states associated with the hydrogenic thresholds up to N = 20 are presented and compared to available data from the literature. The classification of these doubly excited states by approximate quantum numbers is reexamined.
