Critical degeneracy in a nonlinear hyperbolic equation can produce atypical instability

Charles Stuart

This paper deals with the initial value problem for a semilinear wave equation on a bounded domain and solutions are required to vanish on the boundary of this domain. The essential feature of the situation considered here is that the ellipticity of the sp ...

Many-body physics with strongly interacting fermions coupled to light

Victor Youri Helson

This thesis reports on the realization of the first experiments conducted with superfluid, strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6Li coupled to the light field of an optical cavity. In the scope of existing ultracold atomic platforms, this is the first time ...

Optomechanical response of a strongly interacting Fermi gas

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi, Timo Zwettler

We study a Fermi gas with strong, tunable interactions dispersively coupled to a high-finesse cavity. Upon probing the system along the cavity axis, we observe a strong optomechanical Kerr nonlinearity originating from the density response of the gas to th ...

Intrinsic Polarization Super Junctions: Design of Single and Multichannel GaN Structures

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Luca Nela, Catherine Erine, Amirmohammad Miran Zadeh

Super junctions (SJs) have enabled unprecedented performance in Silicon power devices, which could be further improved by applying this concept to wide bandgap semiconductors like gallium nitride (GaN). Currently, polarization super junctions (PSJs) are th ...

Universal pair polaritons in a strongly interacting Fermi gas

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) manipulates the coupling of light with matter, and allows several emitters to couple coherently with one light mode1. However, even in a many-body system, the light–matter coupling mechanism has so far been restricted t ...

Tilted double Dirac cone and anisotropic quantum-spin-Hall topological insulator in mechanical granular graphene

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Georgios Theocharis

Dirac degeneracies are essential ingredients to control topological charge exchanges between bands and trigger the unique edge transport properties of topological materials. In addition, when Dirac cones are tilted, exotic phenomena can emerge such as anom ...

Advantageous nearsightedness of many-body perturbation theory contrasted with Kohn-Sham density functional theory

Christoph Leopold Talirz

For properties of interacting electron systems, Kohn-Sham (KS) theory is often favored over many-body perturbation theory (MBPT), owing to its low computational cost. However, the exact KS potential can be challenging to approximate, for example in the pre ...

Production of phosphorene nanoribbons

Vasiliki Tileli

Phosphorene is a mono-elemental, two-dimensional (2D) substance with outstanding, highly directional properties and a bandgap that depends on the number of layers of the material(1-8). Nanoribbons, meanwhile, combine the flexibility and unidirectional prop ...

Towards non-parametric reconstruction of axon diameter distributions using diffusion MRI and regularized discrete linear modeling

David Paul Roger Romascano

The distribution of axon diameters (ADD) is an important white matter feature: it influences action potential speed, it has been shown to evolve during development, and also to be affected during pathological processes. Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging ...

Tracing the formation of the Milky Way through ultra metal-poor stars

Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We use Gaia DR2 astrometric and photometric data, published radial velocities and MESA models to infer distances, orbits, surface gravities, and effective temperatures for all ultra metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] < -4.0 dex) available in the literature. Assuming ...

Breakdown of the Wiedemann-Franz law in a unitary Fermi gas

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Samuel Häusler

We report on coupled heat and particle transport measurements through a quantum point contact (QPC) connecting two reservoirs of resonantly interacting, finite temperature Fermi gases. After heating one of them, we observe a particle current flowing from c ...

Electronic Phase Separation and Dramatic Inverse Band Renormalization in the Mixed-Valence Cuprate LiCu2O2

Marco Grioni, Helmuth Berger, Arnaud Magrez, Luca Moreschini, Philippe Bugnon, Simon Karl Moser, Gianmarco Gatti

We measured, by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, the electronic structure of LiCu2O2, a mixed-valence cuprate where planes of Cu(I) (3d(10)) ions are sandwiched between layers containing one-dimensional edge-sharing Cu(II) (3d(9)) chains. We find ...

Pressure-dependent elastic and transport properties of porous and permeable rocks: Microstructural control

Lucas Xan Pimienta, Christian David

Although several studies aimed at linking electrical and hydraulic transport properties in rocks, the existing models remain at most incomplete. Based on this observation, in addition to the transport properties, this contribution investigates the pressure ...

Padé approximation of the adiabatic electron contribution to the gyrokinetic quasi-neutrality equation in the ORB5 code

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Emmanuel Lanti, Ben McMillan, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

This work aims at completing the implementation of a solver for the quasineutrality equation using a PadÃ© approximation in the global gyrokinetic code ORB5. Initially [Dominski, Ph.D. thesis, 2016], the Pade approximation was only implemented for the kine ...
