Superfluidity of polaritons in semiconductor microcavities

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 ...

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: ...

Internal spin-wave confinement in magnetic nanowires due to zig-zag shaped magnetization

Dirk Grundler

We perform broadband spin-wave spectroscopy on thin submicrometer-wide Ni80Fe20 magnetic wires. Intentionally, we apply the in-plane magnetic field under an angle that is a few degrees off with respect to the in-plane hard-axis direction. In an intermediat ...

Irreversible evolution of many-electron systems: From the quantum-Boltzmann equation toward the semi-classical Boltzmann equation

Starting from the quantum-Boltzmann equation derived in a previous paper, we study the irreversible evolution of an electron gas in the one-particle phase space. The connection with phase space is established by expressing one-electron states in terms of t ...

Classical and quantum consistency of the DGP model

Riccardo Rattazzi

We study the Dvati-Gabadadze-Porrati model by the method of the boundary effective action. The truncation of this action to the bending mode pi consistently describes physics in a wide range of regimes both at the classical and at the quantum level. The Va ...

Aspects of two dimensional magnetic Schrödinger operatorsquantum hall systems and magnetic Stark resonances

Christian Ferrari

In this PhD thesis we deal with two mathematical problems arising from quantum mechanics. We consider a spinless non relativistic quantum particle whose configuration space is a two dimensional surface S. We also suppose that the particle feels the effect ...

Resonant Rayleigh scattering on quantum well excitons: Theory and experiment

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Vincenzo Savona

Time-resolved up-conversion measurements of secondary emission from multiple quantum wells under resonant femtosecond excitation are reported for GaAs multiple quantum wells with qualitatively different interface disorder. The transient resonant Rayleigh s ...

Quantum-Well Excitons In Semiconductor Microcavities - Unified Treatment Of Weak And Strong-Coupling Regimes

Vincenzo Savona, Paolo Schwendimann

The system of one or several quantum wells embedded in a planar semiconductor Fabry-Perot microcavity with distributed Bragg reflectors is studied in the framework of both a semiclassical and a full quantum theory. The results obtained with the two treatme ...
