Dissociation dynamics of singly charged vortices into half-quantum vortex pairs

Vincenzo Savona, Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Timothy Chi Hin Liew, Francesco Manni

The quest for identification and understanding of fractional vorticity is a major subject of research in the quantum fluids domain, ranging from superconductors, superfluid Helium-3 to cold atoms. In a two-dimensional Bose degenerate gas with a spin degree ...

Semiclassical approach to ground-state properties of hard-core bosons in two dimensions

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta, Nicolas Laflorencie

Motivated by some inconsistencies in the way quantum fluctuations are included beyond the classical treatment of hard-core bosons on a lattice in the recent literature, we revisit the large-S semiclassical approach to hard-core bosons on the square lattice ...

O-17 NMR and Density Functional Theory Study of the Dynamics of the Carboxylate Groups in DOTA Complexes of Lanthanides in Aqueous Solution

Lothar Helm

The rotation of the carboxylate groups in DOTA (DOTA = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetate) complexes of several lanthanide ions and Sc3+ was investigated with density functional theory (DFT) calculations and with variable temperature O-17 ...

Penrose-Onsager Criterion Validation in a One-Dimensional Polariton Condensate

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Francesco Manni

We perform quantum tomography on one-dimensional polariton condensates, spontaneously occurring in linear disorder valleys in a CdTe planar microcavity sample. By the use of optical interferometric techniques, we determine the first-order coherence functio ...

Four-wave mixing excitations in a dissipative polariton quantum fluid

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Marcia Portella Oberli, Verena Kohnle

The Bogoliubov transformation of a polariton quantum fluid has recently been revealed in the four-wave mixing response of a driven microcavity polariton gas. In this work, we investigate the modifications that the dual nature of microcavity polaritons prod ...

On the condensation of polaritons

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), the "fifth state of matter," have in fact been discovered by chance both in liquid helium and in superconductors. Since these early encounters, BECs have been sought for, both in atom vapors and in solids. Here we report o ...

UV and IR spectroscopy of cold 1,2-dimethoxybenzene complexes with alkali metal ions

Oleg Boyarkine, Thomas Rizzo, Yoshiya Inokuchi

We report UV photodissociation (UVPD) and IR-UV double-resonance spectra of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene (DMB) complexes with alkali metal ions, M+•DMB (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs), in a cold 22-pole ion trap. The UVPD spectrum of the Li+ complex shows a strong ori ...

Synthesis and Properties of Molecular Nanostructures on Surfaces

Nasiba Abdurakhmanova

One central aim of nanotechnology is the creation and exploitation of nanostructured materials with pre-programmed architecture and properties. The fabrication of functional nanostructures relies on versatile protocols of synthetic chemistry enabling the p ...
