The Impact of Spacer Size on Charge Transfer Excitons in Dion–Jacobson and Ruddlesden–Popper Layered Hybrid Perovskites

Michael Graetzel, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Jovana Milic, Lukas Pfeifer, George Cameron Fish, Masaud Hassan S Almalki, Algirdas Ducinskas, Aaron Tomas Terpstra, Loï Charles Carbone

Organic materials can tune the optical properties in layered (2D) hybrid perovskites, although their impact on photophysics is often overlooked. Here, we use transient absorption spectroscopy to probe the Dion−Jacobson (DJ) and Ruddlesden−Popper (RP) 2D pe ...

Precise determination of the low-energy electronuclear Hamiltonian of LiY1-xHoxF4

Sandrine Gerber, Gabriel Aeppli, Michael Müller

The insulating rare-earth magnet LiY1-xHoxF4 has received great attention because a laboratory field applied perpendicular to its crystallographic c axis converts the low-energy electronic spin Hamiltonian into the (dilute) transverse field Ising model. Th ...

Impacts of Metering-Based Dynamic Priority Schemes

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

Several works published over the last two decades have shown for a stylized set-up with homogeneous users that metering-based priority (MBP) schemes may generate Pareto improving departure time adjustments similar to those induced by congestion pricing, bu ...

Investigation of the fine structure of antihydrogen

Shirit Cohen

At the historic Shelter Island Conference on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in 1947, Willis Lamb reported an unexpected feature in the fine structure of atomic hydrogen: a separation of the 2S(1/2) and 2P(1/2) states(1). The observation of this separ ...

Generic phase diagram of spin relaxation in solids and the Loschmidt echo

Ferenc Simon

The spin relaxation time in solids is determined by several competing energy scales and processes, and distinct methods are called for to analyze the various regimes. We present a stochastic model for the spin dynamics in solids which is equivalent to solv ...

Flower-like magnetized photocatalysts accelerating an emerging pollutant removal under indoor visible light and related phenomena

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Minoo Karbasi

This study presents the first evidence for FeOx intra-gap states on Bi2WO6- magnetized materials enhancing the Norfloxacin (NFX) degradation with respect to Bi2WO6 within acceptable times under indoor visible light (< 5 mW/cm(2)). The kinetically faster ph ...

A Factor Two Improvement in High-Field Dynamic Nuclear Polarization from Gd(III) Complexes by Design

David Lyndon Emsley, Marinella Mazzanti, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Gabriele Stevanato, Georges Guévork Jean-Jacques Menzildjian

Gadolinium(III) complexes have recently been demonstrated to have potential as polarizing agents for high-field dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) NMR spectroscopy. By tailoring the ligand design to reduce the zero-field splitting (ZFS), we demonstrate a q ...

Boosting the dark matter signal with Coulomb resonances

Rakhi Nandalal Mahbubani, Kin Shanho Eliaou Mimouni

We show that the presence of nearby Coulombic resonances at finite energy could lead to the enhancement of the dark matter annihilation cross section at specific non-zero velocities correlated with the mass splitting between the dark matter pair and that o ...

Electrically tunable quantum emitters in an ultrathin graphene-hexagonal boron nitride van der Waals heterostructure

Klaus Kern, Marko Burghard, Shai Mangel, Alessio Scavuzzo

We explore the photoluminescence (PL) properties of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) quantum emitters embedded within atomically thin graphene/h-BN heterostructures fabricated by mechanical transfer. Stable light emission could be observed from h-BN emitters ...

Suppression of the quantum-confined Stark effect in polar nitride heterostructuresis

Gordon Jens Callsen, Antoine Cyril David Hoffmann

Recently, we suggested an unconventional approach (the so-called Internal-Field-Guarded-Active-Region Design "IFGARD") for the elimination of the quantum-confined Stark effect in polar semiconductor heterostructures. The IFGARD-based suppression of the Sta ...

Stark broadening of Balmer lines with low and moderate quantum number in dense divertor plasmas

Basil Duval, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh

A computer simulation technique is applied to the modelling of Balmer line shapes in dense divertor conditions. The spectral profile of lines with a high principal quantum number n is sensitive to Stark broadening and can be used as a density diagnostic. I ...

Mobility of two-dimensional materials from first principles in an accurate and automated framework

Nicola Marzari, Marco Gibertini, Davide Campi, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

We present a first-principles approach to compute the transport properties of 2D materials in an accurate and automated framework. We use density-functional perturbation theory in the appropriate bidimensional setup with open-boundary conditions in the thi ...

Interaction between site-controlled quantum dot systems and photonic cavity structures

Alexey Lyasota

The goal of this thesis was to investigate light-matter interaction in nanophotonic devices based on site-controlled pyramidal quantum dots (QD) in photonic crystal (PhC) cavities. These QDs provide position and spectral control, which is hardly achievable ...

Density functional perturbation theory for gated two-dimensional heterostructures: Theoretical developments and application to flexural phonons in graphene

Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

The ability to perform first-principles calculations of electronic and vibrational properties of two-dimensional heterostructures in a field-effect setup is crucial for the understanding and design of next-generation devices. We present here an implementat ...
