Optical Properties of InAs Quantum Dot Array Ensembles with Predetermined Lateral Sizes from 20 to 40 nm

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Emanuele Uccelli, Laura Waller

Cleaved edge overgrowth and selective area epitaxy were combined for the synthesis of InAs quantum dot (QD) arrays with lateral sizes from 20 to 40 nm. The optical properties were locally assessed by confocal photoluminescence spectroscopy experiments at l ...

Absorption spectroscopy of adenine, 9-methyladenine, and 2-aminopurine in helium nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels

High-resolution absorption spectra of adenine, 9-methyladenine and 2-aminopurine in helium nanodroplets have been recorded. In contrast to molecular beam experiments, large variations in linewidths are observed for adenine and 9-methyladenine. At the same ...

Irradiation creep and microstructural changes in an advanced ODS ferritic steel during helium implantation under stress

Manuel Alexandre Pouchon, Wolfgang Hoffelner

An advanced oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steel with very fine oxide particles has been homogeneously implanted with helium under uniaxial tensile stresses from 20 to 250 MPa to a maximum dose of about 0.38 dpa (1650 appm-He) with displaceme ...

Assessment of irradiation embrittlement of the Eurofer97 steel after 590 MeV proton irradiation

Philippe Spätig, Pablo Federico Mueller

The irradiation hardening of the Eurofer97 steel following 590 MeV proton irradiations was determined at three different irradiation temperatures, 50 °C, 250 °C and 350 °C, and various doses up to about 1.3 displacement per atom. The dose and temperature d ...

Superfluidity of polaritons in semiconductor microcavities

Romuald Houdré, Cristiano Ciuti

Superfluidity, the ability of a quantum fluid to flow without friction, is one of the most spectacular phenomena occurring in degenerate gases of interacting bosons. Since its first discovery in liquid helium-4 (refs 1, 2), superfluidity has been observed ...

Observation of Half Quantum Vortices in an Exciton-Polariton Condensate

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis

Singly quantized vortices have already been observed in many systems, including the superfluid helium, Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute atomic gases, and condensates of exciton-polaritons in the solid state. Two-dimensional superfluids carrying spin are ...

Search for B̄0→Λc+Λ̄c- decay at Belle

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Vladislav Balagura

We search for the doubly charmed baryonic decay B̄0→Λ c+Λ̄c-, in a data sample of 520×106 BB̄ events accumulated at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We find no significant signal and set an upper limi ...

Lifetime of the Cs6P(1/2) state in bcc and hcp solid He-4

Simone Ulzega

We present the first experimental study of time-resolved fluorescence from laser-excited Cs(6P(1/2)) atoms isolated in a solid He-4 matrix. The results are compared to the predictions of the bubble model including the interaction of the atomic dipole with ...

Photodissociation of Alkyl Iodides in Helium Nanodroplets II: Solvation Dynamics

Marcel Drabbels, Andreas Braun

The solvation dynamics of non-thermal species in liquid helium has been investigated by photolyzing alkyl iodide molecules, CH3I, C2H5I and CF3I, embedded in helium nanodroplets. The iodine and CH3 fragments are found to leave the droplets solvated by a fi ...

Synergistic effects of PKA and helium on primary damage formation in Fe-0.1%He

Gang Yu, Zhongwen Yao

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of displacement cascades in Fe-0.1%He are used to investigate the synergistic effects of primary knock-on atoms (PKA) and He on the irradiation damage production at temperatures between 10 K and 523 K. The results indicat ...
