Germanene: the germanium analogue of graphene

Lei Zhang, Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder

Recently, several research groups have reported the growth of germanene, a new member of the graphene family. Germanene is in many aspects very similar to graphene, but in contrast to the planar graphene lattice, the germanene honeycomb lattice is buckled ...

Realization of higher Wess-Zumino-Witten models in spin chains

Frédéric Mila, Frédéric Alexis Michaud

Building on the generalization of the exactly dimerized Majumdar-Ghosh ground state to arbitrary spin S for the Heisenberg chain with a three-site term (Si-1 . S-i)(S-i . Si+1) + H.c., we use density-matrix renormalization group simulations and exact diago ...

Determination of transverse relaxation rates in systems with scalar-coupled spins: The role of antiphase coherences

Geoffrey Bodenhausen

Homogeneous line-widths that arise from transverse relaxation tend to be masked by B-0 field inhomogeneity and by multiplets due to homonuclearf-couplings. Besides well-known spin-locking sequences that lead to signals that decay with a rate R-1p without a ...

Dirac Optimal Reduction

Tudor Ratiu, Madeleine Jotz

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the (Poisson) Optimal Reduction Theorem in Ortega and Ratiu [Momentum Maps and Hamiltonian Reduction. Progress in Mathematics 222. Boston, MA: Birkhauser. xxxiv, 497pp., 2004] to general proper Lie group actions o ...

Influence of a nonradiative reservoir on polariton spin multistability

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, François Morier-Genoud, Marcia Portella Oberli, Taofiq Paraïso, Roland Cerna

In this work, we study the influence of the excitation conditions on power-dependent spin switching and spin multistability of exciton polaritons in planar semiconductor microcavities. We obtain experimental evidence for the influence of a reservoir of non ...

Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with IceCube

Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen

We present the first results in the search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the IceCube detector, a subsurface neutrino telescope located in the South Polar ice cap containing a volume of 1 km(3). This analysis searches data taken on the partially ...

Emergence and Detection of Exotic Phases in Spin-1 Systems

Frédéric Alexis Michaud

This work is devoted to the study of spin S = 1 systems, and more precisely to the emergence of exotic quantum phases in such systems, and to the establishment of tools to observe such phases. It is split in four main chapters. In the first chapter, we sho ...

Spin-wave analysis of the transverse-field Ising model on the checkerboard lattice

Frédéric Mila

The ground-state properties of the S = 1/2 transverse-field Ising model on the checkerboard lattice are studied using linear spin-wave theory. We consider the general case of different couplings between nearest neighbors (J(1)) and next-to-nearest neighbor ...
