Threshold Dynamics of a Semiconductor Single Atom Maser

August 31, 2017
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Jacob M. Taylor, Yinyiu Liu, J. Stehlik, Christopher Eichler, X Mi, T Hartke, Jason Petta
We demonstrate a single-atom maser consisting of a semiconductor double quantum dot (DQD) that is embedded in a high quality factor microwave cavity. A finite bias drives the DQD out of equilibrium resulting in sequential single electron tunneling and

Optical spin transfer and spin-orbit torques in thin-film ferromagnets

August 30, 2017
Author(s)
Junwen Li, Paul M. Haney
We study the optically induced torques on thin film ferromagnetic layers under excitation by circularly polarized light. We include Rashba spin-orbit coupling and assume an out-of-plane magnetization, and consider incident light with an in-plane component

Amber McCreary, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Yuanxi Wang, Daniel Rhodes, Kazunori Fujisawa, Luis Balicas, Madan Dubey, Vincent H. Crespi, M. Terrones, Angela R. Hight Walker
Rhenium disulfide is an exciting material due to its strong in-plane anisotropy, thus offering an additional physical parameter that can be tuned for advanced applications. ReS2 provides a major advantage for optoelectronics as it is both stable in air and

Progress in understanding topologically non-trivial systems offers the promise of predicting novel systems that demonstrate the remarkable properties associated with topological systems, such as unidirectional spin-polarized surface current and the

Modeling Bloch Oscillations in Nanoscale Josephson Junctions

August 7, 2017
Author(s)
Heli C. Vora, Richard Kautz, Sae Woo Nam, Jose A. Aumentado
Bloch oscillations in nanoscale Josephson junctions with a Coulomb charging energy comparable to the Josephson coupling energy are explored within the context of a model previously considered by Geigenmüller and Schön that includes Zener tunneling and

Temperature extrapolation of multicomponent grand canonical free energy landscapes

August 7, 2017
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Jeffrey R. Errington, Vincent K. Shen
We derive a method for extrapolating the grand canonical free energy landscape of a multicomponent fluid system from one temperature to another. Previously, we introduced this statistical mechanical framework for the case where kinetic energy contributions

Influence of polymer architecture on diffusion in polymers melts

August 2, 2017
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Cheol Jeong, Jack F. Douglas
Recent simulations have indicated that the thermodynamic properties and the glassy dynamics of polymer melts are strongly influenced by average molecular shape, as quantified by the radius of gyration tensor of the polymer molecules, and that average

Viscosity Measurements of R32 and R410A to 350 MPa

August 1, 2017
Author(s)
Arno D. Laesecke, Scott Bair
Viscosity measurements were performed with a falling cylinder viscometer on difluoromethane (R32) and the refrigerant blend R410A (R32+R125 with 50 % by mass) at the temperatures 313.15 K, 348.15 K, and 393.15 K with pressures to 350 MPa. The measurement

Complex Magnetic Incommensurability and Electronic Charge Transfer through the Ferroelectric Transition in Multiferroic Co 3 TeO 6

July 25, 2017
Author(s)
Chi-Hung Lee, Chin-Wei Wang, Yang Zhao, Wen-Hsien Li, Jeffrey W. Lynn, A. Brooks Harris, Kirrily Rule, Hung-Duen Yang, Helmuth Berger
Polarized and unpolarized neutron diffractions have been carried out to investigate the nature of the magnetic structures and transitions in monoclinic Co 3TeO 6. As the temperature is lowered: below T M1 = 26 K long range order develops, which is fully

Nonreciprocal Magnons and Symmetry-Breaking in the Noncentrosymmetric Antiffomagnet

July 24, 2017
Author(s)
G. Gitgeatpong, Yang Zhao, P. Piyawongwatthana, Yiming Qiu, Leland Harriger, Nicholas Butch, T. J. Sato, K. Matan
Magnons, the spin-wave quanta, are disturbances that embody a wave propagating through a back-ground medium formed by ordered magnetic moments. In an isotropic Heisenberg system, these disturbances vary in a continuous manner around an ordered spin

Successive Field-Induced Transitions in BiFeO 3 Around Room Temperature

July 21, 2017
Author(s)
Shiro Kawachi, Atsushi Miyake, Toshimitsu Ito, Sachith E. Dissanayake, Masaaki Matsuda, William D. Ratcliff, Yang Zhao, Shin Miyahara, Masashi Tokunaga
The Effects of high magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the spontaneous ferroelectric polarization on single crystals of BiFeO 3 were investigated through magnetization, magnetostriction, and neutron diffraction measurements. The magnetostriction

Assembly of Multi-flavored Two-Dimensional Colloidal Crystals

July 12, 2017
Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Hasan Zerze, Harold W. Hatch, Vincent K. Shen, Jeetain Mittal
We systematically investigate the assembly of binary multi-flavored colloidal mixtures in two dimensions. In these mixtures all pairwise interactions between species may be tuned independently. This introduces an additional degree of freedom over more

Spontaneous symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions play an essential role in current condensed matter physics 1-3. The collective excitations in the broken-symmetry phase near the quantum critical point can be characterized by fluctuations of phase

Quantum Hall systems exhibit topologically protected edge states, which can have a macroscopic spatial extent. Such edge states provide a unique opportunity to study a quantum emitter whose size far exceeds the wavelength of emitted light. To better

Concentrated solid solutions of transition metal atoms, such as NiCoCr, have extreme chemical disorder within a simple face-centered-cubic crystal structure. These alloys can be grown as large single crystals, and are closely related to the recently
