Projective multiscale time-integration for electrostatic particle-in-cell methods

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Paul Isaac Denis Louis Marie Cazeaux

The simulation of problems in kinetic plasma physics is often challenging due to strongly coupled phenomena across multiple scales. In this work, we propose a wavelet-based coarse-grained numerical scheme, based on the framework of Equation-Free Projective ...

Mapping the conformational free energy of aspartic acid in the gas phase and in aqueous solution

Michele Ceriotti, Kevin Rossi

The conformational free energy landscape of aspartic acid, a proteogenic amino acid involved in a wide variety of biological functions, was investigated as an example of the complexity that multiple rotatable bonds produce even in relatively simple molecul ...

Nuclear Quantum Effects in H+ and OH- Diffusion along Confined Water Wires

Michele Ceriotti, Mariana Rossi Carvalho

The diffusion of protons and hydroxide ions along water wires provides an efficient mechanism for charge transport that is exploited by biological membrane channels and shows promise for technological applications such as fuel cells. However, what is lacki ...

Band-to-band tunneling distance analysis in the heterogate electron-hole bilayer tunnel field-effect transistor

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Cem Alper, José Luis Padilla de la Torre

In this work, we analyze the behavior of the band-to-band tunneling distance between electron and hole subbands resulting from field-induced quantum confinement in the heterogate electron-hole bilayer tunnel field-effect transistor. We show that, analogous ...

Spectral properties of a symmetric three-dimensional quantum dot with a pair of identical attractive delta-impurities symmetrically situated around the origin

Fabio Rinaldi

In this presentation, we wish to provide an overview of the spectral features for the self-adjoint Hamiltonian of the three-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator perturbed by either a single attractive delta-interaction centered at the origin or by a p ...

Optical and transport properties of GaN/(Al,Ga)N heterostructures in prospect of infrared unipolar devices

Etienne François Olivier Giraud

Over the past decade, a growing interest appeared for III-nitride semiconductors, in view of their potential applications in intersubband (ISB) devices. If these materials are nowadays famous, particularly for having revolutionized domestic lighting thanks ...

Polariton Superfluids Reveal Quantum Hydrodynamic Solitons

Romuald Houdré, Cristiano Ciuti

A quantum fluid passing an obstacle behaves differently from a classical one. When the flow is slow enough, the quantum gas enters a superfluid regime, and neither whirlpools nor waves form around the obstacle. For higher flow velocities, it has been predi ...

Signatures of unstable semiclassical trajectories in tunneling

Sergey Sibiryakov

It was found recently that processes of multidimensional tunneling are generally described at high energies by unstable semiclassical trajectories. We study two observational signatures related to the instability of trajectories. First, we find an addition ...

Light structuring for massively parallel optical trapping

Johann Rohner

Optical trapping, discovered in the 70's, allows moving and stabilizing small objects which sizes varies from atoms to particles of several microns. This technique, based on momentum conservation, is particularly well suited for manipulating biological mat ...

Near-field spectroscopy and theoretical modeling of disordered semiconductor quantum wires

Andrea Feltrin

In this thesis work, we report scanning near-field optical photoluminescence spectroscopy measurements with at best 200 nm spatial resolution performed on disordered semiconductor V-groove AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wires. In order to interpret the results of the ...
