Terahertz-optical properties of a bismuth ferrite single crystal

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Marcin Bialek

Transmission through a (100)-oriented single crystal of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) was studied at frequencies of 0.485-0.765 THz with a continuous-wave source and in the temperature range of 30-350 K as a function of polarization angle. The fine splitting of ...

Direct measurement of the spectral dependence of Lamb coupling constant in a dual frequency quantum well-based VECSEL

Elyahou Kapon, Alexandru Mereuta, Andrei Caliman

Spectral dependence of Lamb coupling constant C is experimentally investigated in an InGaAlAs Quantum Wells active medium. An Optically-Pumped Vertical-External-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser is designed to sustain the oscillation of two orthogonally polari ...

Shape staggering of midshell mercury isotopes from in-source laser spectroscopy compared with density-functional-theory and Monte Carlo shell-model calculations

Adriano Pastore, Annelies Marleen J Sels, Manorma Niermaladebhi Bender

Neutron-deficient Hg177-185 isotopes were studied using in-source laser resonance-ionization spectroscopy at the CERN-ISOLDE radioactive ion-beam facility in an experiment combining different detection methods tailored to the studied isotopes. These includ ...

Atomic scale electronic structure and response in attosecond photoemission delays: A case study using non-centrosymmetric BiTeCI

Jan Hugo Dil

Attosecond time-resolved photoemission from the differently terminated BiTeCl surfaces yield a photoelectron streaking that cannot be explained by bulk propagation effects alone. Instead, the atomic scale electronic structure and dynamical screening for bo ...

Antiferroelectric antiferromagnetic type-I multiferroic Cu9O2(SeO3)(4)Cl-6

Helmuth Berger

We report that Cu9O2(SeO3)(4)Cl-6 is a new multiferroic compound. Comprehensive studies of this compound have been carried out on single crystals as well as polycrystalline samples. Magnetic susceptibility chi and specific heat C with H parallel to c axis ...

Structural description of surfaces and interfaces in biominerals by DNP SENS

David Lyndon Emsley

Biological mineralized tissues are hybrid materials with complex hierarchical architecture composed of biominerals often embedded in an organic matrix. The atomic-scale comprehension of surfaces and organo-mineral interfaces of these biominerals is of para ...

Two-dimensional Rashba metals: Unconventional low-temperature transport properties

Claudio Grimaldi

Rashba spin-orbit coupling emerges in materials lacking of structural inversion symmetry, such as heterostructures, quantum wells, surface alloys and polar materials, just to mention few examples. It yields a coupling between the spin and momentum of elect ...

Advanced Computational Methods for NMR Crystallography

Albert Hofstetter

Knowledge of the atomic-level structure is key to understanding and predicting properties of materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the methods of choice for structures containing well-defined long-range order. However, many materials contain various degree ...

Dissecting cold gas in a high-redshift galaxy using a lensed background quasar

Frédéric Courbin

We present a study of cold gas absorption from a damped Lyman-alpha absorber (DLA) at redshift z(abs) = 1.946 toward two lensed images of the quasar J144254.78+405535.5 at redshift z(QSO) = 2.590. The physical separation of the two lines of sight at the ab ...

Optical properties of size selected neutral Ag clusters: electronic shell structures and the surface plasmon resonance

Harald Brune, Wolfgang Harbich, Chongqi Yu

We present optical absorption spectra from the ultraviolet to the visible for size selected neutral Ag-n clusters (n = 5-120) embedded in solid Ne. We compare the spectra to time-dependent density functional calculations (TDDFT) that address the influence ...

Nonadiabatic Dynamics with Spin-orbit couplings

Felipe Miraglia Franco de Carvalho

This thesis deals with the excited-states dynamics of molecules beyond the Bon-Oppenheimer approximation (nonadiabatic dynamics). The nuclei were always treated with classical mechanics while the electrons were treated quantum mechanically, using linear-re ...
