The (Lambda) over bar/Lambda and (Lambda) over bar /K-S(0) production ratios are measured by the LHCb detector from 0.3 nb(-1) of pp collisions delivered by the LHC at root s = 0.9TeV and 1.8 nb-1 at root s = 7TeV. Both ratios are presented as a function o ...

The production of K-S(0) mesons in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 0.9 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The luminosity of the analysed sample is determined using a novel technique, involving measurements of th ...

Dynamic switching of hole character and single photon polarization using the quantum confined Stark effect in quantum dot-in-dot structures

Elyahou Kapon, Valentina Troncale

The engineering of the three-dimensional (3D) heterostructure potential in GaAs/AlGaAs pyramidal quantum dot-in-dots (DiDs) provides control over the valence band symmetry and hence on the polarization of the emitted photons. We propose a technique for dyn ...

Bound states of the Schrodinger-Newton model in low dimensions

Joachim Stubbe, Marc Vuffray

We prove the existence of quasi-stationary symmetric solutions with exactly n >= 0 zeros and uniqueness for n = 0 for the Schrodinger-Newton model in one dimension and in two dimensions along with an angular momentum m >= 0. Our result is based on an analy ...

Selective photoexcitation of confined exciton-polariton vortices

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Gaël Nardin, François Morier-Genoud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Barbara Pietka

We resonantly excite exciton-polariton states confined in cylindrical traps. Using a homodyne detection setup, we are able to image the phase and amplitude of the confined polariton states. We evidence the excitation of vortex states, carrying an integer a ...

Spin relaxation of free excitons in narrow GaN/AlxGa1-xN quantum wells

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Eric Feltin

By performing pump-probe experiments, we study the relaxation dynamics of spin-polarized excitons in a wurtzite GaN/AlGaN quantum well (QW)grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The circular degree of polarization of the differential reflectivity sign ...

Steric Effects in the Chemisorption of Vibrationally Excited Methane on Nickel

Bruce Yoder

In this thesis, steric effects in the dissociative chemisorption of quantum state-prepared methane on single crystal surfaces of nickel (Ni(100) and Ni(110)) are detected and quantified for the first time. Exploiting a new, continuous-wave, high-power, sin ...

Steric Effects in the Chemisorption of Vibrationally Excited Methane on Ni(100)

Rainer Beck, Régis Bisson, Bruce Yoder

Newly available, powerful infrared laser sources enable the preparation of intense molecular beams of quantum-state prepared and aligned molecules for gas/surface reaction dynamics experiments. We present a stereodynamics study of the chemisorption of vibr ...

Tuning the giant Rashba effect on a BiAg2 surface alloy: Two different approaches

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Alberto Crepaldi, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis

We discuss two different approaches for tuning the giant spin-orbit splitting of a BiAg2 surface alloy. The first approach consists of electron doping by alkaline metal deposition in order to shift the energy position of the spin-split surface states, whil ...

Spintronics: Conceptual Building Blocks

Jean-Philippe Ansermet

The purpose of this introduction to spintronics is to provide some elementary description of its conceptual building blocks. Thus, it is intended for a newcomer to the field. After recalling rudimentary descriptions of spin precession and spin relaxation, ...
