Anomalously thick domain walls in ferroelectrics

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Tomas Sluka, Petr Yudin, Maxim Gureev

Using the Landau theory we demonstrate the possibility of unusual, anomalously thick ferroelectric domain walls, where the order parameter rotates with a nearly constant modulus as in ferromagnets. The effect occurs in 90 degrees charged domain walls and i ...

Internal optical forces in plasmonic nanostructures

Olivier Martin

We present a computational study of the internal optical forces arising in plasmonic gap antennas, dolmen structures and split rings. We find that very strong internal forces perpendicular to the propagation direction appear in these systems. These interna ...

Red and NIR light dosimetry in the human deep brain

Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Blaise Lovisa

Photobiomodulation (PBM) appears promising to treat the hallmarks of Parkinson's Disease (PD) in cellular or animal models. We measured light propagation in different areas of PD-relevant deep brain tissue during transcranial, transsphenoidal illumination ...

Semiclassical evidence of columnar order in the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta

We investigate the zero-temperature phase diagram of the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice both in the classical limit and in the presence of quantum fluctuations. At the classical level (the limit of infinite spin S), we ...

Revealing molecular structure and orientation with Stokes vector resolved second harmonic generation microscopy

We report on measurements and characterization of polarization properties of Second Harmonic (SH) signals using a four-channel photon counting based Stokes polarimeter. In this way, the critical polarization parameters can be obtained concurrently without ...

A sample of 114 +/- 11 B-s(0) -> J/psi K- pi(+) signal events obtained with 0.37 fb(-1) of pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment is used to measure the branching fraction and polarization amplitudes of the B-s(0) -> J/psi(K) over ...
