Spin-orbit coupling effects in the band structure of surface alloys

At the surface of a solid, quantum mechanics allows the existence of two-dimensional Bloch waves as solutions of the Schrödinger equation. These "surface" states are interesting both for fundamental and practical reasons, and have been extensively explored ...

Assessing the atomic contribution to the Rashba spin-orbit splitting in surface alloys: Sb/Ag(111)

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Christian Reinhard Ast, Luca Moreschini

We have studied the electronic structure of the Ag(111)(root 3x root 3)R30 degrees-Sb surface alloy by angle-resolved photoemission. We find two hybrid surface bands, similar to the isostructural Ag(111)-Bi interface. The spin-orbit coupling induced spin s ...

Eikonal methods in AdS/CFT: BFKL Pomeron at weak coupling

We consider correlators of N = 4 super Yang Mills of the form A similar to , where the operators O-1 and O-2 are scalar primaries. In particular, we analyze this correlator in the planar limit and in a Lorentzian regime correspondi ...

Structural properties of amorphous GeSe2

Alfredo Pasquarello

By using first-principles molecular dynamics within density functional theory, we study the structural properties of amorphous GeSe2 at T = 300 K. The amorphous configurations have been obtained via cooling from the liquid state followed by extensive relax ...

Spatial noise correlations of a chain of ultracold fermions: A numerical study

We present a numerical study of noise correlations, i.e., density-density correlations in momentum space, in the extended fermionic Hubbard model in one dimension. In experiments with ultracold atoms, these noise correlations can be extracted from time-of- ...

Mixed Wannier-Bloch functions for electrons and phonons in periodic systems

Alfredo Pasquarello

We introduce mixed Wannier-Bloch functions for studying electronic and vibrational spectra of periodic systems. These functions carry both spatial localization and limited spectral broadening, thereby combining the advantages of descriptions based on energ ...

Coherence properties of microcavity polaritons

Stefan Kundermann

This thesis presents the coherence properties of polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. Semiconductor microcavities are microstructures in which the exciton ground state of a semiconductor quantum well is coupled to a photonic mode of a microresonator. ...

Zero dimensional exciton-polaritons

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Vincenzo Savona, Jean-Philippe Brantut, Gaël Nardin, François Morier-Genoud, Ounsi El Daïf, Reda Idrissi Kaitouni

We present a novel semiconductor structure in which 0D polaritons coexist with 2D microcavity polaritons. Spatial trapping of the 2D microcavity polaritons results from the confinement of their photonic part in a potential well, consisting of an adjustable ...

Electronic structure of an ordered Pb/Ag(111) surface alloy: Theory and experiment

Marco Grioni, Christian Reinhard Ast, Luca Moreschini, Daniela Pacilè

We have studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) the band structure of the ordered surface alloy obtained by the deposition of 0.33 monolayers of Pb on the Ag(111) surface. We observe several dispersing features which are well described ...

Regiochemically flexible substitutions of di-, tri-, and tetrahalopyridines: the trialkylsilyl trick

Carla Bobbio, Thierry Rausis

2,4-Difluoropyridine, 2,4-dichloropyridine, 2,4,6-trifluoropyridine, 2,4,6-trichloropyridine and 2,3,4,6-tetrafluoropyridine react with std. nucleophiles exclusively at the 4-position under halogen displacement. However, the regioselectivity can be complet ...
