Self-Interaction and Polarons in Density Functional Theory

Stefano Falletta

The electron self-interaction is a long-standing problem in density functional theory and is particularly critical in the description of polarons. Polarons are quasiparticles involving charge localization coupled with self-induced lattice distortions. Sinc ...

Topological Effects in Carbon-based Two-dimensional Nanostructures

Yifei Guan

Recent advances on low-dimensional and topological materials has greatly inspired the research in condensed matter physics. This thesis is devoted to the computational and theoretical study of topological effects in two-dimensional materials, especially na ...

Ultrafast control of emergent quantum matter probed by electron microscopy

Benoît Guilhem Michel Binh Truc

In the quest for controlling materials' properties, light as an external stimulus has a special place as it can create new states of matter and enable their ultrafast manipulation. In particular, spintronics, an exciting emergent field relying on the elect ...

Engineering random spin models with atoms in a high-finesse cavity

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Nick Jacob Sauerwein, Tigrane Arthur Cantat Moltrecht, Francesca Orsi

Random spin models play a key role in our understanding of disorder and complex many-body systems. Two all-to-all interacting, disordered models have now been realized using a cavity quantum electrodynamics platform. ...

Progress in the design and manufacturing of the EDIPO 2 cryostat

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Xabier Sarasola Martin, Roberto Guarino, Evgeny Solodko

A major upgrade of the European DIPOle (EDIPO) test facility, which will allow the testing of superconducting samples both for fusion and for high-energy physics applications, is taking place at the Swiss Plasma Center. With a target background field of 15 ...

Dissipative boundary state preparation

Fan Yang

We devise a generic and experimentally accessible recipe to prepare boundary states of topological or non topological quantum systems through an interplay between coherent Hamiltonian dynamics and local dissipation. Intuitively, our recipe harnesses the sp ...

Emergence of Classical Magnetic Order from Anderson Towers: Quantum Darwinism in Action

Frédéric Mila

Environment is assumed to play a negative role in quantum mechanics, destroying the coherence in a quantum system and, thus, randomly changing its state. However, for a quantum system that is initially in a degenerate ground state, the situation could be d ...

Polaron hopping through piecewise-linear functionals

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta

We use piecewise-linear functionals to study the polaron energy landscape and hopping rates in beta-Ga2O3, which we adopt as an example of an anisotropic material hosting multiple polaronic states. We illustrate various functionals for polaron localization ...

Spin Textures in 2D Magnets

Lukas Powalla

The continuous reduction of the structural size in nanotechnology slowed down over the last decade, approaching the natural limit of single atoms as building blocks of matter. Therefore, intensive research is directed toward exploring new frontiers, in par ...

Moire Flat Bands in Twisted Double Bilayer Graphene

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Seyedeh Fatemeh Haddadi Givi

We investigate twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG), a four-layer system composed of two AB-stacked graphene bilayers rotated with respect to each other by a small angle. Our ab initio band structure calculations reveal a considerable energy gap at the c ...

Ultrafast Electron Microscopy of Nanoscale Charge Dynamics in Semiconductors

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Simone Gargiulo, Francesco Barantani

The ultrafast dynamics of charge carriers in solids plays a pivotal role in emerging optoelectronics, photonics, energy harvesting, and quantum technology applications. However, the investigation and direct visualization of such nonequilibrium phenomena re ...
