Probing unconventional performance of fiber resonators: light storage, generation and manipulation

Ivan Cardea

This thesis aims at investigating the performance of figure-9 (figure-of-nine) optical fiber resonators as a practical solution for light storage, light generation and manipulation. The first part of the thesis focuses on a theoretical and experimental stu ...

A teaching showcase unveils the links between special relativity and the birth of quantum physics

Giorgio Margaritondo

Quantum effects scale up with the frequency of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, modern synchrotron sources of high-frequency x-rays-that can be visited by students either personally or online-offer an opportunity for a captivating introduction to basic qu ...

The relativistic foundations of synchrotron radiation

Giorgio Margaritondo

Special relativity (SR) determines the properties of synchrotron radiation, but the corresponding mechanisms are frequently misunderstood. Time dilation is often invoked among the causes, whereas its role would violate the principles of SR. Here it is show ...

UV-extending ghost inflation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Mikhail Ivanov

We present a setup that provides a partial UV-completion of the ghost inflation model up to a scale which can be almost as high as the Planck mass. This is achieved by coupling the inflaton to the Lorentz-violating sector described by the Einstein-aether t ...

Current-induced domain wall motion in Co/Pt nanowires: Separating spin torque and Oersted-field effects

We report on low temperature current induced domain wall depinning experiments on (Co/Pt) multilayer nanowires with perpendicular magnetization. Using a special experimental scheme, we are able to extract the different contributions of the Oersted field an ...
