Nonlinear optical diode effect in a magnetic Weyl semimetal

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Chunyu Guo, Hao Yang

Diode effects are of great interest for both fundamental physics and modern technologies. Electrical diode effects (nonreciprocal transport) have been observed in Weyl systems. Optical diode effects arising from the Weyl fermions have been theoretically co ...

Static and dynamic properties of non-collinear quantum antiferromagnets explored by neutron scattering

Luc Testa

This thesis is devoted to the investigation of static and dynamic properties of two different sets of quantum magnets with neutron scattering techniques and the help of linear spin wave theory. Both systems are copper-based with spin-1/2, which makes them ...

X-Band Aom On Chip

Tobias Kippenberg, Anat Siddharth, Junqiu Liu

Silicon Nitride integrated photonic circuits have drawn much attention owing to its ultra-low loss and large Kerr nonlinearity. However, the lack of Pockels effect makes it difficult to be modulated clectro-optically, which posts a major challenge for the ...

Spinon confinement and deconfinement in spin-1 chains

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga, Elisabeth Wybo

Motivated by the rich phase diagrams recently unveiled in frustrated spin-1 chains with competing next-nearest-neighbor and four-spin interactions, we investigate the nature of the elementary excitations of spin-1 chains in the vicinity of phase transition ...

Coexisting spinons and magnons in the frustrated zigzag spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeVO4

Helmuth Berger

We investigate magnetic excitations in the frustrated zigzag spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeVO4 by inelastic neutron scattering. In the magnetically ordered ground state, the excitation spectrum exhibits coexisting magnon dispersion, characteristic of long ...

Luttinger liquid behavior in the alternating spin-chain system copper nitrate

Felix Groitl

We determine the phase diagram of copper nitrate Cu(NO3)(2)center dot 2.5D(2)O in the context of quantum phase transitions and novel states of matter. We establish this compound as an ideal candidate to study quasi-1D Luttinger liquids, 3D Bose-Einstein-Co ...

Spin-orbital separation in the quasi-one-dimensional Mott insulator Sr2CuO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Martin Mourigal, Thorsten Schmitt, Jean-Sebastien Caux

When viewed as an elementary particle, the electron has spin and charge. When binding to the atomic nucleus, it also acquires an angular momentum quantum number corresponding to the quantized atomic orbital it occupies. Even if electrons in solids form ban ...

Experimental evidence for Luttinger liquid behavior in sufficiently long GaAs V-groove quantum wires

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Benjamin Dwir

We have measured the temperature dependence of the conductance of long V-groove quantum wires fabricated using GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures, in a wide temperature range (200 mK < T < 4.2 K). We find that for our quantum wires the Fermi velocity can be as l ...

Exotic phenomena in doped quantum magnets

Frédéric Mila

We investigate the properties of a two-dimensional frustrated quantum antiferromagnet on a square lattice, especially at infinitesimal doping. We find that next nearest neighbour (NN) J2 and next–next NN J3 interactions together destroy the antiferromagnet ...

Redox Properties of Self-Assembled Gold Nanoclusters

Hubert Girault, Bin Su

The redox properties of a monolayer of alkanethiolate-protected gold nanoclusters (MPCs) constructed on a gold slide electrode was studied in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) electrolyte solutions. The influence of the electrostatic interaction between attached MP ...
