Exciton migration in two-dimensional materials

Giovanni Consalvo Cistaro

Excitons play an essential role in the optical response of two-dimensional materials. These are bound states showing up in the band gaps of many-body systems and are conceived as quasiparticles formed by an electron and a hole. By performing real-time simu ...

Linear and nonlinear magnetization dynamics in permalloy thin films grown on DNA origami and nanopatterned permalloy/YIG hybrid structures

Andrea Mucchietto

Spin waves (SWs) are collective excitations of the spin ensemble in systems with magnetic order. In quantum mechanics, a SW is known as a magnon, which is the quasiparticle describing the quantized nature of these wave-like excitations. Magnonics is the re ...

Unconventional Flat Chern Bands and 2e Charges in Skyrmionic Moire Superlattices

Oleg Yazyev, Yifei Guan

The interplay of topological characteristics in real space and reciprocal space can lead to the emergence of unconventional topological phases. In this Letter, we implement a novel mechanism for generating higher-Chern flat bands on the basis of twisted bi ...

Spinon-like excitations in spin-1/2 quantum antiferromagnets

Irina Safiulina

Quantum magnetism remains a hot topic in condensed matter physics due to its complexity and possible powerful and significant applications in data storage and memory. To understand how the materials can achieve these goals, one should have a clear idea abo ...

Topological magnon insulators in two-dimensional van der Waals ferromagnets CrSiTe3 and CrGeTe3: Toward intrinsic gap-tunability

Flaviano José Dos Santos

The bosonic analogs of topological insulators have been proposed in numerous theoretical works, but their experimental realization is still very rare, especially for spin systems. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb van der Waals ferromagnets have eme ...

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 ...

Magnons, worms and nanogratings in artificial magnetic quasicrystals

Sho Watanabe

Magnons (spin waves, SWs) are elementary spin excitations in magnetically ordered materials. They are the promising quanta for the transmission and processing of information. Magnons can be coupled to the electromagnetic waves utilized for the wireless com ...

Spinon confinement and deconfinement in spin-1 chains

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

Motivated by the rich phase diagrams recently unveiled in frustrated spin-1 chains with competing next-nearest-neighbor and four-spin interactions, we investigate the nature of the elementary excitations of spin-1 chains in the vicinity of phase transition ...

Melting of a skyrmion lattice to a skyrmion liquid via a hexatic phase

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Fabrizio Carbone, Marco Cantoni, Ping Huang, Thomas Schönenberger

While in 3D materials melting is a single, first-order phase transition, in 2D systems, it can also proceed via an intermediate phase. For a skyrmion lattice in Cu2OSeO3, magnetic field variations can tune this quasiparticle 2D solid into a skyrmion liquid ...

Efficient wavelength conversion of exchange magnons below 100 nm by magnetic coplanar waveguides

Dirk Grundler, Ping Che, Anna Kúkol'ová

Exchange magnons are essential for unprecedented miniaturization of GHz electronics and magnon-based logic. However, their efficient excitation via microwave fields is still a challenge. Current methods including nanocontacts and grating couplers require a ...

From quantum spin chains to square lattice Heisenberg anti-ferromagnets

Noore Elahi Shaik

This thesis presents a theoretical study of the Heisenberg model on a two dimensional lattice with asymmetric couplings along x and y directions. By gradually varying the coupling along y-direction we traverse the 1D, quasi 1D and 2D domains of this model. ...

Magnetic ground state of the frustrated spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeVO4 at high magnetic fields

Helmuth Berger, Jonathan White

Frustrated spin-1/2 chains, despite the apparent simplicity, exhibit a remarkably rich phase diagram comprising vector-chiral (VC), spin-density-wave (SDW), and multipolar/spin-nematic phases as a function of the magnetic field. Here we report a study of b ...

Spin fluctuation induced Weyl semimetal state in the paramagnetic phase of EuCd2As2

Joël Mesot

Weyl fermions as emergent quasiparticles can arise in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) in which the energy bands are nondegenerate, resulting from inversion or time-reversal symmetry breaking. Nevertheless, experimental evidence for magnetically induced WSMs is scar ...

Statics and dynamics of multivalley charge density waves in Sb (111)

Davide Campi, Daniele Dragoni

Charge density waves (CDWs), periodic modulations of the charge density, are among the most abundant and non-trivial ordered phases in condensed matter. Here we demonstrate the occurrence of multi-valley charge density waves (MV-CDW) on the semimetal Sb(11 ...

Elementary excitation in the spin-stripe phase in quantum chains

Helmuth Berger, Jonathan White

Elementary excitations in condensed matter capture the complex many-body dynamics of interacting basic entities in a simple quasiparticle picture. In magnetic systems the most established quasiparticles are magnons, collective excitations that reside in or ...

Probing multi-spinon excitations outside of the two-spinon continuum in the antiferromagnetic spin chain cuprate Sr2CuO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Thorsten Schmitt, Martin Mourigal

One-dimensional (1D) magnetic insulators have attracted significant interest as a platform for studying quasiparticle fractionalization, quantum criticality, and emergent phenomena. The spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with antiferromagnetic nearest neighbour int ...
