Non-Gaussian superradiant transition via three-body ultrastrong coupling

Fabrizio Minganti

We introduce a class of quantum optical Hamiltonians characterized by three-body couplings and propose a circuit-QED scheme based on state-of-the-art technology that implements the considered model. Unlike two-body light-matter interactions, this three-bod ...

Polarization-Controlled Chromo-Encryption

Olivier Martin, Hsiang-Chu Wang

The response of simple plasmonic nanorods to polarized illumination is studied in detail. Depending on the orientation of that polarization with respect to the symmetry axes of the nanostructure, a chiral response can occur, which can be analyzed through a ...

Two-fold symmetric superconductivity in few-layer NbSe2

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

The strong Ising spin-orbit coupling in certain two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides can profoundly affect the superconducting state in few-layer samples. For example, in NbSe2, this effect combines with the reduced dimensionality to stabilize ...

Dipolar-stabilized first and second-order antiskyrmions in ferrimagnetic multilayers

Dirk Grundler, Ping Che

Skyrmions and antiskyrmions are topologically protected spin structures with opposite vorticities. Particularly in coexisting phases, these two types of magnetic quasi-particles may show fascinating physics and potential for spintronic devices. While skyrm ...

Controlling transport dynamics of confined asymmetric fibers

François Gallaire, Mathias Simon Daniel Bechert

Transport properties of particles in confining geometries show very specific characteristics as lateral drift, oscillatory movement between lateral walls or the deformation of flexible fibers. These dynamics result from viscous friction with transversal an ...

Icosahedral quasicrystal-enhanced nucleation of the fcc phase in liquid gold alloys

Michel Rappaz, Güven Kurtuldu

Although the grain refinement of yellow gold alloys with Jr has been used in industry and known for nearly half a century, the basic mechanism is still unknown. The present contribution shows that the mechanism is the same as that evidenced recently in Al- ...

Design and analysis of a Ka-band coaxial-to-quad-ridged circular waveguide transition

Juan Ramon Mosig, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

A new coaxial-to-quad-ridged circular waveguide transition is presented which works simultaneously in the downlink (20 GHz) and uplink (30 GHz) Ka-bands. The transition comprises a double-ridge section with a back cavity fed by a coaxial probe and a transi ...

Mixed-Mode I/II fracture behavior of asymmetric adhesively-bonded pultruded composite joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Moslem Shahverdi

The mixed-mode fracture behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer joints was experimentally investigated using asymmetric mixed-mode bending specimens. The crack propagated along paths outside the symmetry plane and, therefore, ...

Acoustic Leaky-Wave Antenna

Hervé Lissek, Sami Driss Karkar, Seyyed Hussein Seyyed Esfahlani

In the last years, the number of studies carried out in the field of acoustic metamaterials has significantly increased. In year 2009, our group proposed a concept of acoustic composite right/left hand transmission line (CRLH-TL) metamaterial, consisting o ...

Evolution of magnetic and crystal structures in the multiferroic FeTe2O5Br

Helmuth Berger

Neutron diffraction and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements were employed to investigate magnetic order in the nonferroelectric phase preceding the low-temperature multiferroic state in FeTe2O5Br. Refinement of the neutron diffraction data and ...

Dendritic Growth Morphologies in Al-Zn Alloys-Part I: X-ray Tomographic Microscopy

Michel Rappaz, Paolo Di Napoli, Jonathan Friedli

Upon solidification, most metallic alloys form dendritic structures that grow along directions corresponding to low index crystal axes, e.g., directions in fcc aluminum. However, recent findings[1,2] have shown that an increase in the zinc content in Al-Zn ...

Modeling effects of asymmetry and fiber bridging on Mode I fracture behavior of bonded pultruded composite joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Moslem Shahverdi

The fracture behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded double cantilever beam specimens was experimentally investigated. The pultruded adherends comprised two mat layers on each side with a roving layer in the middle. An epoxy adhesive was used to form the d ...

X-ray tomographic microscopy analysis of the dendrite orientation transition in Al-Zn

Michel Rappaz, Paolo Di Napoli, Jonathan Friedli

Recently, Gonzales and Rappaz [Met. Mat. Trans. A37:2797, 2006] showed the influence of an increasing zinc content on the growth directions of aluminum dendrites. < 100 > and < 110 > dendrites were observed below 25wt.% and above 55wt.% zinc, respectively, ...

Paper Interfaces: an HCI Approach to Geometry Education

Quentin Bonnard

Paper interfaces are an alternative for controlling a computer. Typically, users interact with pieces of paper which are detected by a camera and augmented with relevant information by a projector. The development of paper interfaces, historically, aimed a ...

Influence of Subsurface Layers on the Adsorption of Large Organic Molecules on Close-Packed Metal Surfaces

Klaus Kern

The asymmetric molecule 4-[trans-2-(pyrid-4-yl-vinyl)] benzoic acid (PVBA) adsorbed on Cu(111) is characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) to determine the influence of subsurface atomic layers on the adsorpt ...

Interfacial Energy Anisotropy and Growth Morphologies in Aluminium-Zinc Alloys

Fine structure of exciton complexes in high-symmetry quantum dots: Effects of symmetry breaking and symmetry elevation

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Marc-André Dupertuis, Daniel Oberli

Quantum dots (QDs) of high symmetry (e.g., C3v) have degenerate bright exciton states, unlike QDs of C2v symmetry, making them intrinsically suitable for the generation of entangled photon pairs. Deviations from C3v symmetry are detected in real QDs by pol ...

A novel formalism for the study of the electronic and optical properties of high symmetry heterostructures

The theories used up to now to model theoretically and numerically nanostructures, and more specifically semiconductor heterostructures, do not allow to include efficiently at the envelope function level, in a k · p approach, the effects imposed by a possi ...

Experimental and theoretical study of intramolecular exchange in Ir2Rh2(CO)(12) and Ir-4(CO)(11)(mu-SO2)

Ursula Röthlisberger, Gabor Laurenczy, Raymond Roulet, Leonardo Guidoni, Zoltan Beni

As observed by variable-temperature and -pressure C-13 NMR, intramolecular carbonyl scrambling in Ir2Rh2(CO)(12) and Ir-4(CO)(11)(mu-SO2) proceeds via a 'change of basal face' mechanism. In both cases the site exchange process has a positive activation vol ...
