Cooling dynamics of electrons in MAPbBr(3) probed in the deep-UV

Majed Chergui, Malte Oppermann, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Peter Chen, Lijie Wang

Transient absorption in the Visible and in the deep-UV is performed on MAPbBr(3) thin films with 3.1 eV pump excitation. The UV probe can access higher order transitions in the material exploring different high-symmetry points of the Brillouin zone. Uncorr ...

Manipulation of Bloch surface waves: from subwavelength focusing to nondiffracting beam

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim

We present a different type of electromagnetic surface wave than a surface plasmon polariton (SPP), called Bloch surface wave (BSW). BSWs are sustained by dielectric multilayers, and therefore they do not suffer from dissipation. Their propagation length i ...

Investigation of the Propagation Length of Bloch Surface Waves on One Dimensional Photonic Crystals

Hans Peter Herzig, Nicolas Maxime André Descharmes, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani, Gaël David Osowiecki

A 1D photonic crystal structure sustaining optical surface waves is investigated. The propagation length of the surface mode is studied both using an eigenmode model and a rigorous time domain solver. The two models show good convergence. Our results demon ...

Automated construction of symmetrized Wannier-like tight-binding models from ab initio calculations

Quansheng Wu

Wannier tight-binding models are effective models constructed from first-principles calculations. As such, they bridge a gap between the accuracy of first-principles calculations and the computational simplicity of effective models. In this work, we extend ...

Observation of Bloch Surface waves in the mid-infrared spectral range

Hans Peter Herzig, Nicolas Maxime André Descharmes, Grégoire Maxime Smolik

We present the observation of Bloch Surface Waves in the mid-infrared spectral range. A dielectric multi-layer coating made of ZnSe and YbF3 deposited on a CaF2 substrate is designed and fabricated specifically for that purpose. The structure supports the ...

Attosecond coherent control of free-electron wave functions using semi-infinite light fields

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Enrico Pomarico, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Gabriele Berruto, Brett Eugene Barwick

Light–electron interaction is the seminal ingredient in free-electron lasers and dynamical investigation of matter. Pushing the coherent control of electrons by light to the attosecond timescale and below would enable unprecedented applications in quantum ...

High Quality Factor Confinement Of Bloch Surface Waves At Visible Wavelengths

Hans Peter Herzig, Nicolas Maxime André Descharmes, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani, Raphaël Barbey, Gaël David Osowiecki

We report the first experimental demonstration of high quality factor confinement of Bloch surface waves at visible wavelengths. The cavities consist of planar Fabry-Perot resonators that are fabricated on top of a Bloch surface supporting substrate. This ...

Magnetic exchange parameters and anisotropy of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet NiPS3

Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

Neutron inelastic scattering has been used to measure the magnetic excitations in powdered NiPS3, a quasitwo-dimensional antiferromagnet with spin S = 1 on a honeycomb lattice. The spectra show clear, dispersive magnons with a similar to 7 meV gap at the B ...
