Atmospheric aerosol is ubiquitous and its impact on climate and health has not been fully understood yet. Multiple diverse processes and sources lead to atmospheric aerosol formation and emission and this reflects on its heterogeneity in chemical compositi ...
We study the effects of the CP-breaking topological theta-term in the large N-c QCD model by Witten, Sakai and Sugimoto with N-f degenerate light flavors. We first compute the ground state energy density, the topological susceptibility and the masses of th ...
Dipole-dipole and hydrogen-bonding interaction reinforced (DHIR) hydrogels that demonstrate both excellent thermo-responsive volume change and high mechanical strength have been developed. Their thermo-responsive volume change originates from the balance b ...
Spin resonance provides the high-energy resolution needed to determine biological and material structures by sensing weak magnetic interactions(1). In recent years, there have been notable achievements in detecting(2) and coherently controlling(3-7) indivi ...
We compute the electric dipole moment of nucleons in the large N-c QCD model by Witten, Sakai, and Sugimoto with N-f = 2 degenerate massive flavors. Baryons in the model are instantonic solitons of an effective five-dimensional action describing the whole ...
Intensive developments of plasmonic nanomaterials over recent decades have inspired appealing applications in biosensing, optical trapping, fluorescence enhancement and light harvesting in solar cells. These nanostructures supporting unique light-matter in ...
Mixtures of nano- and microscopic oil droplets in water have recently been rediscovered as miniature reaction vessels in microfluidic environments and are important constituents of many environmental systems, food, personal care, and medical products. The ...
The goal of this thesis was to investigate light-matter interaction in nanophotonic devices based on site-controlled pyramidal quantum dots (QD) in photonic crystal (PhC) cavities. These QDs provide position and spectral control, which is hardly achievable ...
Organometallic halide perovskites (OMHPs) have recently emerged as a promising class of materials in photovoltaic technology. Here, we present an in-depth investigation of the physics in these systems by measuring the photoinduced absorption (PIA) in OMHPs ...
The resonant excitation of free electrons in metallic nanostructures enables extreme near field intensities along with a deep sub-wavelength localization of the electromagnetic energy. This has been exploited to enhance light-matter interaction down to the ...
