We study the relative intensity noise (RIN) per unit bandwidth in polariton laser diodes (LDs) for two pumping geometries, namely, the direct electrical and the intracavity ones as originally described in I. Iorsh et al. [Phys. Rev. B 86, 125308 (2012)], b ...
The formation energies and charge transition levels of vacancy and antisite defects in GaAs and In0.5Ga0.5As are calculated through hybrid density functionals. In As-rich conditions, the As antisite is the most stable defect in both GaAs and InGaAs, except ...
The discovery of high-Tc superconductivity in the cuprates, and the observation that strong correlations are important in connection with these compounds has led to a tremendous interest in understanding the physics of strongly correlated electronic models ...
The authors calculate energy levels associated with the oxygen vacancy in monoclinic HfO2 using a hybrid density functional which accurately reproduces the experimental band gap. The most stable charge states are obtained for varying Fermi level in the HfO ...
Glucose is the main energy substrate in the adult brain under normal conditions. Accumulating evidence, however, indicates that lactate produced in astrocytes (a type of glial cell) can also fuel neuronal activity. The quantitative aspects of this so-calle ...
Structural assignments are determined for Se-77 and Ge-73 chemical shifts through density-functional NMR calculations for GeSe2, Ge4Se9, and GeSe crystals. In particular, a very good agreement between calculated and measured Se-77 isotropic chemical shifts ...
The work underscores the feasibility of highly efficient silicon solar cell structures manufactured with high throughput machines. The main challenge consists in the implementation of more performant structures of intrinsic higher complexity. These structu ...
This thesis reports measurements at the single atom scale by using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Different sample systems where analyzed with normal conducting and superconducting tips. Chapter 2 presents the t ...
We present an experiment that probes polariton quantum correlations by exploiting quantum complementarity. Specifically, we find that polaritons in two distinct idler modes interfere if and only if they share the same signal mode so that "which-way" inform ...
This paper introduces a novel batch optimization based calibration framework for legged robots. Given a nondegenerate calibration dataset and considering the stochastic models of the sensors, the task is formulated as a maximum likelihood problem. In order ...
