Matsubara dynamics is the quantum-Boltzmann-conserving classical dynamics which remains when real-time coherences are taken out of the exact quantum Liouvillian [T. J. H. Hele et al., J. Chem. Phys. 142, 134103 (2015)]; because...
Despite numerous theoretical models and simulation results, a clear physical picture of dislocations traveling at velocities comparable to the speed of sound in the medium remains elusive. Using two complementary atomistic...
The spectroscopy of atomic gases confined in hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) provides optimal atom-light coupling beyond the diffraction limit, which is desirable for various applications such as sensing...
The interaction between a confined electron and the nuclei of an optically active quantum dot provides a uniquely rich manifestation of the central spin problem. Coherent qubit control combines with an ultrafast spin-photon...
Anyons occur in two-dimensional electron systems as excitations with fractional charge in the topologically ordered states of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE). Their dynamics are of utmost importance for topological...
Semiconductor holes with strong spin-orbit coupling allow all-electrical spin control, with broad applications ranging from spintronics to quantum computation. Using a two-dimensional hole system in a gallium arsenide quantum...
This paper presents theoretical and experimental studies of ultrabright internal second harmonic during femtosecond superradiant emission generation in multiple sections GaAs/AlGaAs laser structures at room temperature....
We propose a scheme for realizing lattice potentials of subwavelength spacing for ultracold atoms. It is based on spin-dependent optical lattices with a time-periodic modulation. We show that the atomic motion is well described...
Using a recent time-of-flight measurement technique with 1 ps time resolution and electron-energy spectroscopy, we develop a method to measure the longitudinal-optical-phonon emission rate of hot electrons traveling along a...
The electron transport behavior through a series of molecular junctions composed of tetracene (TC) and S/O substituted-TC (S/O-TC) has been studied using density functional theory (DFT) combined with the non-equilibrium Green's...
The Born-Oppenheimer approximation is the keystone for molecular dynamics simulations of radiation damage processes; however, actual materials response involves nonadiabatic energy exchange between nuclei and electrons. In this...
In this work we report on the fabrication of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etched, diode-type, bulk molybdenum field emitter arrays. Emitter etching conditions as a function of etch mask geometry and process conditions were...
A modification to the Seminario method [ Int. J. Quantum Chem. 1996 , 60 , 1271 - 1277 ] is proposed, which derives accurate harmonic bond and angle molecular mechanics force field parameters directly from the quantum mechanical...
