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 ...

Unconventional Flat Chern Bands and 2e Charges in Skyrmionic Moire Superlattices

Oleg Yazyev, Yifei Guan

The interplay of topological characteristics in real space and reciprocal space can lead to the emergence of unconventional topological phases. In this Letter, we implement a novel mechanism for generating higher-Chern flat bands on the basis of twisted bi ...

Hole-induced anomaly in the thermodynamic behavior of a one-dimensional Bose gas

Riccardo Rota

We reveal an intriguing anomaly in the temperature dependence of the specific heat of a one-dimensional Bose gas. The observed peak holds for arbitrary interaction and remembers a superfluid-to-normal phase transition in higher dimensions, but phase transi ...

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 ...

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 ...

Probing multi-spinon excitations outside of the two-spinon continuum in the antiferromagnetic spin chain cuprate Sr2CuO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Martin Mourigal, Thorsten Schmitt

One-dimensional (1D) magnetic insulators have attracted significant interest as a platform for studying quasiparticle fractionalization, quantum criticality, and emergent phenomena. The spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with antiferromagnetic nearest neighbour int ...

Kinetic Monte Carlo approach to nonequilibrium bosonic systems

Timothy Chi Hin Liew, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We consider the use of a kinetic Monte Carlo approach for the description of nonequilibrium bosonic systems, taking nonresonantly excited exciton-polariton condensates and bosonic cascade lasers as examples. In the former case, the considered approach allo ...

Multivalley engineering in semiconductor microcavities

Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac, Timothy Chi Hin Liew

We consider exciton-photon coupling in semiconductor microcavities in which separate periodic potentials have been embedded for excitons and photons. We show theoretically that this system supports degenerate ground-states appearing at non-zero inplane mom ...

Magnons in tetragonal CuO

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Frédéric Mila, Marco Grioni, Simon Karl Moser, Thorsten Schmitt, Bastien Dalla Piazza, Sara Fatale, Noore Elahi Shaik

We investigate by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering the magnetic excitations in thin films of tetragonal CuO. We identify a spin wave excitation, dispersing on two cupratelike antiferromagnetic sublattices. Its energy at the boundary of the Brillouin zon ...
