Probability density optical tomography of confined quasiparticles in a semiconductor microcavity

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, François Morier-Genoud, Gaël Nardin, Ounsi El Daïf, Taofiq Paraïso, Barbara Pietka, Roland Cerna

We present the optical tomography of the probability density of quasiparticles, the microcavity polaritons, confined in three dimensions by cylindrical traps. Collecting the photoluminescence emitted by the quasimodes under continuous nonresonant laser exc ...

Evidence for spinon localization in the heat transport of the spin-1/2 ladder compound (C5H12N)(2)CuBr4

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Christian Rüegg

We present experiments on the magnetic-field-dependent thermal transport in the spin-1/2 ladder system (C5H12N)(2)CuBr4. The thermal conductivity kappa(B) is only weakly affected by the field-induced transitions between the gapless Luttinger-liquid state r ...

Field-controlled magnetic order in the quantum spin-ladder system (Hpip)2CuBr4

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Joël Mesot, Bruce Normand, Christian Rüegg, Pierre Bouillot, Daniel Biner

Neutron diffraction is used to investigate the field-induced, antiferromagnetically ordered state in the two-leg spin-ladder material (Hpip)(2)CuBr4. This "classical" phase, a consequence of weak interladder coupling, is nevertheless highly unconventional: ...

Kinks in the angle resolved photoemission and inelastic x-ray spectra of high temperature superconductors

Though the high superconducting transition temperature (Tc) is the most interesting technological aspect of high temperature superconductors, the complex way in which the spin, lattice and electronic degrees of freedom interplay, makes them of the highest ...

Quantized Vortices in an Exciton-Polariton Condensate

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis

One of the most striking quantum effects in an interacting Bose gas at low temperature is superfluidity. First observed in liquid 4He, this phenomenon has been intensively studied in a variety of systems for its remarkable features such as the persistence ...

Spin-orbit split two-dimensional electron gas with tunable Rashba and Fermi energy

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini

We demonstrate that it is possible to tune the Rashba energy, introduced by a strong spin-orbit splitting, and the Fermi energy in a two-dimensional electron gas by a controlled change of stoichiometry in an artificial surface alloy. In the BixPb1-x/Ag(111 ...
