Antiferromagnetic droplet soliton driven by spin current

We demonstrate that a spin current flowing through a nanocontact into a uniaxial antiferromagnet with first- and second-order anisotropy can excite a self-localized dynamic magnetic soliton, known as a spin-wave droplet in ferromagnets. The droplet nucleat ...

Nonlocally-resonant metamaterials

Aleksi Antoine Bossart

In this thesis, we unveil a third design path to manipulate elastic waves within architected media, distinct from the traditional phononic crystal and locally-resonant metamaterial concepts. The core innovation lies in the concept of nonlocal resonances, d ...

Revealing higher-order light and matter energy exchanges using quantum trajectories in ultrastrong coupling

Fabrizio Minganti

The dynamics of open quantum systems is often modeled using master equations, which describe the expected outcome of an experiment (i.e., the average over many realizations of the same dynamics). Quantum trajectories, instead, model the outcome of ideal si ...

Charge ordering in Ir dimers in the ground state of Ba5AlIr2O11

Oleg Yazyev, Vamshi Mohan Katukuri, Thorsten Schmitt, Vladimir N. Strocov, Xingye Lu

It has been well established experimentally that the interplay of electronic correlations and spin-orbit interactions in Ir4+ and Ir5+ oxides results in insulating J(eff) = 1/2 and J(eff) = 0 ground states, respectively. However, in compounds where the str ...

EUROfusion-theory and advanced simulation coordination (E-TASC): programme and the role of high performance computing

Laurent Villard, Jonathan Graves, Eric Serre

This paper is a written summary of an overview oral presentation given at the 1st Spanish Fusion High Performance Computer (HPC) Workshop that took place on the 27 November 2020 as an online event. Given that over the next few years ITER24 will move to its ...

Hiding in Plain Sight: The Issue of Hidden Variables

Yimon Aye, Mahdi Assari

Here we discuss "hidden variables", which are typically introduced during an experiment as a consequence of the application of two independent variables together to create a stimulus. With increased sophistication in modern chemical biology tools and relat ...

Impact of dipole-dipole interactions on motility-induced phase separation

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Elena Sesé Sansa

We present a hydrodynamic theory for systems of dipolar active Brownian particles which, in the regime of weak dipolar coupling, predicts the onset of motility-induced phase separation (MIPS), consistent with Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations. The hydrody ...

Topological wave insulators: a review

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Originally discovered in condensed matter systems, topological insulators (TIs) have been ubiquitously extended to various fields of classical wave physics including photonics, phononics, acoustics, mechanics, and microwaves. In the bulk, like any other in ...

Asymptotic freedom, Haldane gap and edge states of SU(N) spin chains

Samuel Gozel

In this thesis we study various one-dimensional quantum spin systems with SU(2) and SU(N) symmetry. We investigate the short-distance behavior of the SU(2) Heisenberg model in the limit of large spin and show that there exists an extended regime where pert ...

Spatio-temporal shaping of a free-electron wave function via coherent light-electron interaction

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore

The past decade has witnessed a quantum revolution in the field of computation, communication and materials investigation. A similar revolution is also occurring for free-electron based techniques, where the classical treatment of a free electron as a poin ...

Measurement and Modeling of Both Distant and Close Electric Fields of an M‐Component in Rocket‐Triggered Lightning

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

Simultaneous measurements of current and multiple‐station electric fields associated with a 5.4‐kA‐peak M‐component in rocket‐triggered lightning are presented in this study. A close‐range electric field measurement site was located northeast of the trigge ...

Probing Molecular Chirality by Orbital-Angular-Momentum-Carrying X-ray Pulses

Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

A twisted X-ray beam with orbital angular momentum is employed in a theoretical study to probe molecular chirality. A nonlocal response description of the matter-field coupling is adopted to account for the field short wavelength and the structured spatial ...

Holographic imaging of electromagnetic fields via electron-light quantum interference

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Enrico Pomarico, Gabriele Berruto, Tatiana Latychevskaia, Tom Theodorus Antonius Lummen

Holography relies on the interference between a known reference and a signal of interest to reconstruct both the amplitude and the phase of that signal. With electrons, the extension of holography to the ultrafast time domain remains a challenge, although ...

Linear Flavour-Wave Theory of SU(N) Lattice Models with Arbitrary Irreducible Representations

Francisco Hyunkyu Kim

This thesis explores various approaches of studying the long-range colour order of antiferromagnetic SU(N) Heisenberg models with the linear flavour-wave theory (LFWT). The LFWT is an extension of the well-known SU(2) spin-wave theory to SU(N), and this se ...

Nonlocal electromagnetic response of graphene nanostructures

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone

Nonlocal electromagnetic effects of graphene arise from its naturally dispersive dielectric response. We present semianalytical solutions of nonlocal Maxwell's equations for graphene nanoribbon arrays with features around 100 nm, where we found prominent d ...

Simultaneous observation of the quantization and the interference pattern of a plasmonic near-field

Fabrizio Carbone, Brett Eugene Barwick, Yoshie Murooka, Luca Piazza, Tom Theodorus Antonius Lummen

Surface plasmon polaritons can confine electromagnetic fields in subwavelength spaces and are of interest for photonics, optical data storage devices and biosensing applications. In analogy to photons, they exhibit wave-particle duality, whose different as ...
