Sleptonic SUSY: from UV framework to IR phenomenology

Majid Ekhterachian

We study an attractive scenario, "Sleptonic SUSY", which reconciles the 125 GeV Higgs scalar and the non-observation of superpartners thus far with potentially pivotal roles for slepton phenomenology: providing viable ongoing targets for LHC discovery, inc ...

Hidden bulk and surface effects in the spin polarization of the nodal-line semimetal ZrSiTe

Marco Grioni, Arnaud Magrez, Oleg Yazyev, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez, Helmuth Berger, Alberto Crepaldi, Mauro Fanciulli, Gianmarco Gatti, Silvan Dino Marcos Roth

Local inversion symmetry breaking in centrosymmetric materials can lead to large spin polarization of the electronic band structure in separate sectors of the unit cell. Here, the authors reveal such hidden spin polarisation in ZrSiTe using spin and angle ...

Schwinger pair production from Pade-Borel reconstruction

Adrien Florio

In this work, we show how the knowledge of the first few terms of the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian's weak-field expansion in a magnetic field background is enough to reconstruct the pair-production rate in a strong electric field background. To this end, we ...

Electrochemical Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Christophe Roussel, Jonas Milani, Mika Antero Tamski

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy suffers from low sensitivity due to the low nuclear spin polarization obtained within practically achievable external magnetic fields. Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) refers to techniques that increase the N ...

Fully spin-polarized bulk states in ferroelectric GeTe

Jan Hugo Dil, Mauro Fanciulli

By measuring the spin polarization of GeTe films as a function of light polarization we observed that the bulk states are fully spin polarized in the initial state, in strong contrast with observations for other systems with a strong spin-orbit interaction ...

Spontaneous conformal symmetry breaking in fishnet CFT

Experimental studies of the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium electronic structure of non-symmorphic topological materials

Gianmarco Gatti

Symmetry and topology are fundamental properties of nature. Mathematics provides us with a general framework to understand these concepts. On one side, symmetry describes the invariance properties of an object for specific transformations. On the other sid ...
