The continuous progress in fabricating low-dimensional systems with large spin-orbit couplings has reached a point in which nowadays materials may display spin-orbit splitting energies ranging from a few to hundreds of meV. This situation calls for a bette ...
Electronic bound states around charged impurities in two-dimensional systems with structural inversion asymmetry can be described in terms of a two-dimensional hydrogen atom in the presence of a Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Here, the energy levels of the ...
Multiple refocusing cycles can be used to extract transverse relaxation rates, R2, while homonuclear scalar couplings do not interfere. In this work, I have demonstrated the usefulness of a hybrid sequence, which is a compromise between single and multiple ...
We demonstrate that it is possible to tune the Rashba energy, introduced by a strong spin-orbit splitting, and the Fermi energy in a two-dimensional electron gas by a controlled change of stoichiometry in an artificial surface alloy. In the BixPb1-x/Ag(111 ...
We demonstrate theoretically that it is possible to manipulate electron or hole spins all optically in semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The scheme that we propose is based on the spin-orbit interaction that was recently measured experimentally; we show tha ...
Ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopic studies have been performed on (C5Me5)(2)U-N=C(Ph)(CH2Ph) and (C5Me5)(2)Th-N=C(Ph)(CH2Ph) including, for the uranium complex, the first direct measurement of dynamics of electronic deactivation within a 5f-elect ...
Nuclear magnetic relaxation in the presence of paramagnetic centres has gained increasing interest in recent years partly due to its importance for contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. Rational design of new more efficient agents is possible as a ...
We have measured the rovibrational levels in the electronic ground state of the water molecule at the previously inaccessible energies above 26000 cm-1. The use of laser double-resonance overtone excitation combined with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) ph ...
We define a new inhomogeneous mean-field algorithm to study the magnetic alloy LiHo1−xYxF4. The phase diagrams in the Hx-T, x-T and x-Hx planes are computed. The calculated critical temperature is overestimated by 27% and the critical field is underestimat ...
We have investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy changes induced by Xe adsorption on the spin-orbit-split bands of the epitaxial Ag(111) (root 3x root 3)R30 degrees-Bi surface alloy. We observe an extensive backfolding of the alloy band st ...
