Effects of surface plasmon polariton-mediated interactions on second harmonic generation from assemblies of pyramidal metallic nano-cavities

Elyahou Kapon, Benjamin Dwir, Justyna Szeszko

We use polarization-resolved two-photon microscopy to investigate second harmonic generation (SHG) from individual assemblies of site-controlled nano-pyramidal recess templates covered with silver films. We demonstrate the effect of the surface plasmon pol ...

Interaction of a point charge with the surface of a uniaxial dielectric

Primoz Rebernik Ribic

We analyze the force on a point charge moving at relativistic speeds parallel to the surface of a uniaxial dielectric. Two cases are examined: a lossless dielectric with no dispersion and a dielectric with a plasma-type response. The treatment focuses on t ...

Dual-mode temperature compensation technique for laser stabilization to a crystalline whispering gallery mode resonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Albert Schliesser

Frequency stabilization of a diode laser locked to a whispering gallery mode (WGM) reference resonator made of a MgF2 single crystal is demonstrated. The strong thermal dependence of the difference frequency between two orthogonally polarized TE an TM mode ...

Finite-temperature flexoelectricity in ferroelectric thin films from first principles

Alexander Tagantsev

A first-principles-based effective Hamiltonian technique is developed to study flexoelectricity in (Ba0.5Sr0.5)TiO3 thin films of different thicknesses in their paraelectric phase. The magnitude as well as sign of individual components of the flexoelectric ...

Two-Dimensional MEMS Stage Integrated With Microlens Arrays for Laser Beam Steering

Cyrille Hibert, Sven Holmström, Sertan Kutal Gökce, David Bowman

A novel microelectromechanical stage with one uniaxial set of combs capable of 2-D actuation is presented. A polymer microlens array (MLA) is mounted vertically onto the stage. Driven at resonance, the stage deflects 124 mu m out of plane and 34 mu m in pl ...

Ion cyclotron resonance heating with consistent finite orbit widths and anisotropic equilibria

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, Martin Jucker

Minority ion cyclotron resonance heating is studied using the self-consistent numerical model SCENIC. This model includes 3D geometries with full shaping and anisotropic pressure effects, warm contributions to the dielectric tensor and full orbit effects. ...

Magnetization Reversal Dynamics in Ferromagnetic Semiconductors

Liza Herrera Diez

This thesis is dedicated to the study of the magnetization reversal dynamics in compressively strained (Ga,Mn)As and differently functionalized (Ga,Mn)As materials. In the first part the domain wall dynamics of pure (Ga,Mn)As/GaAs materials is in the focus ...

Influence of anisotropy on heterogeneous nucleation

Michel Rappaz, Aurèle Mariaux

Heterogeneous nucleation is governed by the interplay of interfacial energies between a substrate, a solid and a liquid. Although the intensity of these energies can strongly change with the orientation of the nucleus for anisotropic media, this parameter ...

Near-field polarization measurements based on two arbitrary, orthogonal optical field components

Olivier Martin, Hans Peter Herzig, Libo Yu, Tristan Sfez, Daniele Brunazzo, Francesco Michelotti

Using a multi-heterodyne scanning near-field optical microscope, we detect two arbitrary, orthogonal components of the near field. A numerical treatment of the experimental data allows the retrieval of the transverse and longitudinal components of the mode ...

The influence of solid-liquid interfacial energy anisotropy on equilibrium shapes, nucleation, triple lines and growth morphologies

Michel Rappaz, Mario Alberto Salgado Ordorica, Jonathan Friedli, Aurèle Mariaux

The anisotropy of the solid-liquid interfacial energy plays a key role during the formation of as-solidified microstructures. Using the xi-vector formalism of Cahn and Hoffman, this contribution presents the effect that anisotropy has on the equilibrium sh ...
