Light-Controlled Multiconfigurational Conductance Switching in a Single 1D Metal-Organic Wire

Christian Wäckerlin

Precise control of multiple spin states on the atomic scale presents a promising avenue for designing and realizing magnetic switches. Despite substantial progress in recent decades, the challenge of achieving control over multiconfigurational reversible s ...

Momentum-resolved spin-conserving two-triplon bound state and continuum in a cuprate ladder

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Thorsten Schmitt, Yi Tseng

Studying multi-particle elementary excitations has provided unique access to understand collective many-body phenomena in correlated electronic materials, paving the way towards constructing microscopic models. In this work, we perform O K-edge resonant in ...

Numerical investigation of bound states in quantum magnets

Mithilesh Nayak

Bound-states of particles are an interesting problem in quantum mechanics dating back to 1931 Bethe's solution of spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain. These exotic composite states are realized in quantum magnets and are detectable in inelastic neutron scattering (I ...

Development of strategies to improve 1H resolution in NMR of solids at 100 kHz magic-angle spinning

Bruno Simões de Almeida

In solid-state NMR, homonuclear dipolar couplings contribute greatly to the broadening of 1H spectral line shapes. Even at the fastest magic-angle spinning rates (MAS) available today [100-150kHz], the linewidths still extend over several hundred Hertz, li ...

Hilbert series, the Higgs mechanism, and HEFT

Brian Quinn Henning

We expand Hilbert series technologies in effective field theory for the inclusion of massive particles, enabling, among other things, the enumeration of operator bases for non-linearly realized gauge theories. We find that the Higgs mechanism is manifest a ...

Possibility to detect the bound state of the Heisenberg ferromagnetic chain at intermediate temperature

Frédéric Mila, Mithilesh Nayak

Motivated by the lack of direct evidence with inelastic neutron scattering of the well documented bound state of Heisenberg ferromagnets, we use the time-dependent thermal density matrix renormalization group algorithm to study the temperature dependence o ...

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Jonas Milani, Mika Antero Tamski, Felipe Andres Saenz Padilla

Method for detecting a change in molecular tumbling of an electron-spin labelled system (1) in solution. Nuclear spins of the entire solution are measured in solution using Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization in a first reference measurement, and then ...

Static and dynamic properties of non-collinear quantum antiferromagnets explored by neutron scattering

Luc Testa

This thesis is devoted to the investigation of static and dynamic properties of two different sets of quantum magnets with neutron scattering techniques and the help of linear spin wave theory. Both systems are copper-based with spin-1/2, which makes them ...

Quantum dynamics in individual surface spins

Tobias Bilgeri

This thesis presents a combined experimental and theoretical study of the classical and quantum magnetization dynamics in single magnetic adatoms and molecules, and on the classical and quantum coherent control thereof. First, a detailed description of t ...

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 ...

Theory and simulations of homonuclear three-spin systems in rotating solids

David Lyndon Emsley, Gabriele Stevanato, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Bruno Simões de Almeida

The homonuclear dipolar coupling is the internal spin interaction that contributes the most to the line shapes in magic-angle-spinning (MAS) H-1 NMR spectra of solids, and linewidths typically extend over several hundred Hertz, limiting the H-1 resolution. ...

Helimagnons and Skyrmion Dynamics in Cu2OSeO3 and Fe/Gd Multilayers Explored by Brillouin Light Scattering and X-ray Microscopy

Ping Che

Spin dynamics in skyrmion hosting materials provide novel functionality in magnonics because of the formation of a novel magnon band structure and the nanoscale sizes of magnetic skyrmions. In this thesis, we explore the spin dynamics in the chiral magnet ...
