Spin-orbital separation in the quasi-one-dimensional Mott insulator Sr2CuO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Thorsten Schmitt, Martin Mourigal, Jean-Sebastien Caux

When viewed as an elementary particle, the electron has spin and charge. When binding to the atomic nucleus, it also acquires an angular momentum quantum number corresponding to the quantized atomic orbital it occupies. Even if electrons in solids form ban ...

Anomalously enhanced photoemission from the Dirac point and other peculiarities in the self-energy of the surface-state quasiparticles in Bi2Se3

Helmuth Berger

Line-shape analysis of the photoemission intensity from the surface states of Bi2Se3 reveals two unusual features: spectral line asymmetry and anomalously enhanced photoemission from the Dirac point. The former can be described by the one-particle spectral ...

Experimental evidence for Luttinger liquid behavior in sufficiently long GaAs V-groove quantum wires

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Benjamin Dwir

We have measured the temperature dependence of the conductance of long V-groove quantum wires fabricated using GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures, in a wide temperature range (200 mK < T < 4.2 K). We find that for our quantum wires the Fermi velocity can be as l ...

Observation of a topological crystalline insulator phase and topological phase transition in Pb1-xSnxTe

Jan Hugo Dil, Chang Liu

A topological insulator protected by time-reversal symmetry is realized via spin-orbit interaction-driven band inversion. The topological phase in the Bi1-xSbx system is due to an odd number of band inversions. A related spin-orbit system, the Pb1-xSnxTe, ...

Photoelectron properties of DNA and RNA bases from many-body perturbation theory

Nicola Marzari

The photoelectron properties of DNA and RNA bases are studied using many-body perturbation theory within the GW approximation, together with a recently developed Lanczos-chain approach. Calculated vertical ionization potentials, electron affinities, and to ...

Isotropic three-dimensional gap in the iron arsenide superconductor LiFeAs from directional heat transport measurements

Johan Juul Chang

The thermal conductivity κ of the iron-arsenide superconductor LiFeAs (Tc 18 K) was measured in single crystals at temperatures down to T50 mK and in magnetic fields up to H=17 T, very close to the upper critical field Hc218 T. For both directions of the h ...

Backtracking of Colloids: A Multiparticle Collision Dynamics Simulation Study

Giuseppe Foffi, Maxim Belushkin

The role of sound in the dynamics of mesoscale systems is typically neglected, since frequently the associated time scales are much smaller than all the other time scales of interest. However, for sufficiently small objects embedded in a solvent with a suf ...

Emergent entanglement of microcavity polariton pairs

Vincenzo Savona

We show theoretically that polariton pairs with a high degree of polarization entanglement can be produced through parametric scattering. In our proposed scheme, varying the polarizations of the two pumps, we have a complete control over the symmetries of ...

Probability density optical tomography of confined quasiparticles in a semiconductor microcavity

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Gaël Nardin, François Morier-Genoud, Barbara Pietka, Taofiq Paraïso, Ounsi El Daïf, Roland Cerna

We present the optical tomography of the probability density of quasiparticles, the microcavity polaritons, confined in three dimensions by cylindrical traps. Collecting the photoluminescence emitted by the quasimodes under continuous nonresonant laser exc ...

Field-controlled magnetic order in the quantum spin-ladder system (Hpip)2CuBr4

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Bruce Normand, Christian Rüegg, Joël Mesot, Pierre Bouillot, Thierry Giamarchi, Daniel Biner

Neutron diffraction is used to investigate the field-induced, antiferromagnetically ordered state in the two-leg spin-ladder material (Hpip)(2)CuBr4. This "classical" phase, a consequence of weak interladder coupling, is nevertheless highly unconventional: ...
