Confined spin waves in magnetochiral nanotubes with axial and circumferential magnetization

Dirk Grundler, Mohammad Hamdi, Andrea Mucchietto, Maria Carmen Giordano

We report experimental studies of spin-wave excitations in individual 22-nm-thick Ni80Fe20 nanotubes with diameters of about 150 nm. We apply Brillouin light-scattering spectroscopy under microwave irradiation, and we resolve sets of discrete resonances in ...

Characterization of two electronic subsystems in cuprates through optical conductivity

Ana Akrap, Edoardo Martino, Neven Barisic

Understanding the physical properties of unconventional superconductors as well as of other correlated materials presents a formidable challenge. Their unusual evolution with doping, frequency, and temperature has frequently led to non-Fermi-liquid (non-FL ...

Ultrafast control of emergent quantum matter probed by electron microscopy

Benoît Guilhem Michel Binh Truc

In the quest for controlling materials' properties, light as an external stimulus has a special place as it can create new states of matter and enable their ultrafast manipulation. In particular, spintronics, an exciting emergent field relying on the elect ...

Identifying Large Charge operators

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Gil Badel

The Large Charge sector of Conformal Field Theory (CFT) can generically be described through a semiclassical expansion around a superfluid background. In this work, focussing on U(1) invariant Wilson-Fisher fixed points, we study the spectrum of spinning l ...

Reentrant magic-angle phenomena in twisted bilayer graphene in integer magnetic fluxes

Oleg Yazyev, Yifei Guan

In this Letter we address the reentrance of magic-angle phenomena (band flatness and quantum-geometric transport) in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) subjected to strong magnetic fluxes +/-(1)0, +/- 200, +/- 3(p0 ... ((D0 = h/e is the flux quantum per moire ...

Hole-induced anomaly in the thermodynamic behavior of a one-dimensional Bose gas

Riccardo Rota

We reveal an intriguing anomaly in the temperature dependence of the specific heat of a one-dimensional Bose gas. The observed peak holds for arbitrary interaction and remembers a superfluid-to-normal phase transition in higher dimensions, but phase transi ...

Semiclassical methods in conformal field theories scrutinized by the epsilon-expansion

Gil Badel

Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are crucial for our understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Because of their powerful symmetry properties, they play the role of signposts in the space of QFTs. Any method that gives us information about their structure ...

Co-Wound Superconducting Wire for Quench Detection in Fusion Magnets

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Davide Uglietti, Nikolay Bykovskiy

High temperature superconducting (HTS) materials are widely utilized in various design proposals for fusion magnets, resulting in enhanced performance of the machines compared to the past. However, a reliable quench detection in HTS conductors remains an o ...

Investigating field-induced magnetic order in Han purple by neutron scattering up to 25.9 T

Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand, Philippe Heller, Nicolas Laflorencie

BaCuSi2O6 is a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) quantum antiferromagnet containing three different types of stacked, square-lattice bilayer hosting spin-1/2 dimers. Although this compound has been studied extensively over the last two decades, the critical appli ...

Level crossings and chiral transitions in transverse-field Ising models of adatom and Rydberg chains

Ivo Aguiar Maceira

This thesis is motivated by recent experiments on systems described by extensions of the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising (TFI) model where (1) finite-size properties of Ising-ordered phases -- specifically, ground state level crossings -- were obser ...

Intergrade Joints for Nb3Sn cables of high magnetic field magnets

Vincenzo D'Auria

The objective of this thesis is the development of high-field and high-current joints between Nb3Sn cables for superconducting coils. The main fields of application are high energy physics (HEP) and thermonuclear fusion. In this thesis, the focus is on Win ...

Thermal critical points from competing singlet formations in fully frustrated bilayer antiferromagnets

Frédéric Mila, Antoine Yves Dimitri Fache

We examine the ground-state phase diagram and thermal phase transitions in a plaquettized fully frustrated bilayer spin-1/2 Heisenberg model. Based on a combined analysis from sign-problem free quantum Monte Carlo simulations, perturbation theory, and free ...

Scaling of the translational velocity of vortex rings behind conical objects

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Guillaume de Guyon-Crozier

Ring vortices are efficient at transporting fluid across long distances. They can be found in nature in various ways: they propel squids, inject blood in the heart, and entertain dolphins. These vortices are generally produced by ejecting a volume of fluid ...

Directional detection of light dark matter from three-phonon events in superfluid He-4

Angelo Esposito

We present the analysis of a new signature for light dark matter detection with superfluid He-4: the emission of three phonons. We show that, in a region of mass below the MeV, the kinematics of this process can offer a way to reconstruct the dark matter i ...

Emergence of Concentration Effects in the Variational Analysis of the N-Clock Model

Matthias Ruf, Matthias Benjamin Ruf

We investigate the relationship between the N-clock model (also known as planar Potts model or DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL ZN-model) and the XY model (at zero temperature) through a Gamma-convergence analysis of a suitable rescaling of the energy as both the num ...

A quantum magnetic analogue to the critical point of water

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand, Christian Rüegg, Ludger Weber, Ellen Fogh, Mohamed Zayed, Julio Antonio Larrea Jiménez, Kazimierz Conder

At the liquid-gas phase transition in water, the density has a discontinuity at atmospheric pressure; however, the line of these first-order transitions defined by increasing the applied pressure terminates at the critical point(1), a concept ubiquitous in ...

Angular Momentum in Rotating Superfluid Droplets

Christoph Bostedt, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira

The angular momentum of rotating superfluid droplets originates from quantized vortices and capillary waves, the interplay between which remains to be uncovered. Here, the rotation of isolated submicrometer superfluid He-4 droplets is studied by ultrafast ...

Superfluids, vortices and spinning charged operators in 4d CFT

Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

We include vortices in the superfluid EFT for four dimensional CFTs at large global charge. Using the state-operator correspondence, vortices are mapped to charged operators with large spin and we compute their scaling dimensions. Different regimes are ide ...
