Chaotic Antiferromagnetic Nano-Oscillator driven by Spin-Torque
2021
We theoretically describe the behavior of a terahertz nano-oscillator based on an anisotropic antiferromagnetic dynamical element driven by spin torque. We consider the situation when the polarization of the spin-current is perpendicular to the external magnetic field applied along the anisotropy easy-axis. We determine the domain of the parametric space (field, current) where the oscillator demonstrates chaotic dynamics. Characteristics of the chaotic regimes are analyzed using conventional techniques such as spectra of the Lyapunov exponents. We show that the threshold current of the chaos appearance is particularly low in the vicinity of the spin-flop transition. In this regime, we consi…
The Hubbard model beyond the two-pole approximation: a Composite Operator Method study
2014
Within the framework of the Composite Operator Method, a three-pole solution for the two-dimensional Hubbard model is presented and analyzed in detail. In addition to the two Hubbard operators, the operatorial basis comprises a third operator describing electronic transitions dressed by nearest-neighbor spin fluctuations. These latter, compared to charge and pair fluctuations, are assumed to be preeminent in the region of model-parameter space - small doping, low temperature and large on-site Coulomb repulsion - where one expects strong electronic correlations to dominate the physics of the system. This assumption and the consequent choice for the basic field, as well as the whole analytica…
Sum Frequency Generation Spectra from Velocity–Velocity Correlation Functions
2017
We developed an expression for the calculation of the sum frequency generation spectra (SFG) of water interfaces that is based on the projection of the atomic velocities on the local normal modes. Our approach permits one to obtain the SFG signal from suitable velocity-velocity correlation functions, reducing the computational cost to that of the accumulation of a molecular dynamics trajectory, and therefore cutting the overhead costs associated with the explicit calculation of the dipole moment and polarizability tensor. Our method permits to interpret the peaks in the spectrum in terms of local modes, also including the bending region. The results for the water-air interface, obtained usi…
Parametric solitons in nonlinear photonic crystals
2007
We present theoretical and experimental investigations on the soliton dynamics associated to multiple second harmonic generation resonances in two-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals, highlighting a wealth of new possibilities for soliton management in such structures.
Velocity locking of incoherent nonlinear wave packets
2006
We show both theoretically and experimentally in an optical fiber system that a set of incoherent nonlinear waves irreversibly evolves to a specific equilibrium state, in which the individual wave packets propagate with identical group velocities. This intriguing process of velocity locking can be explained in detail by simple thermodynamic arguments based on the kinetic wave theory. Accordingly, the selection of the velocity-locked state is shown to result from the natural tendency of the isolated wave system to approach the state that maximizes the nonequilibrium entropy.

Hot electrons and nonlinear optical nanoantennas
2017
The large field enhancement generated at the surface of a resonant plasmonic nanoparticle, or optical antennas, is the key mechanism that eventually led to the development of nonlinear plasmonics [1-2]. While the resonance may boost the nonlinear yield of an adjacent structure or surrounding medium, it was soon realized that optical antennas possess nonlinear coefficients comparable or exceeding those of standard nonlinear optical materials [3]. We discuss here two nonlinear optical processes — incoherent multi-photon luminescence (MPL) and coherent second-harmonic generation (SHG) — emitted from gold rod optical antennas upon local illumination with a tightly focused femtosecond near-infra…
Effect of a Locally Repulsive Interaction on s-wave Superconductors
2016
The thermodynamic impact of the Coulomb repulsion on s-wave superconductors is analyzed via a rigorous study of equilibrium and ground states of the strong coupling BCS-Hubbard Hamiltonian. We show that the one-site electron repulsion can favor superconductivity at fixed chemical potential by increasing the critical temperature and/or the Cooper pair condensate density. If the one-site repulsion is not too large, a first or a second order superconducting phase transition can appear at low temperatures. The Meißner effect is shown to be rather generic but coexistence of superconducting and ferromagnetic phases is also shown to be feasible, for instance, near half-filling and at strong repul…
Reference beam dynamics layout for the SC CW heavy ion HELIAC at GSI
2020
Abstract The standalone superconducting continuous wave heavy ion linac HELIAC (HElmholtz LInear ACcelerator) is a common project of GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research and Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) under key support of Goethe University Frankfurt (IAP) and in collaboration with National Research Nuclear University MEPhI and NRC “Kurchatov Institute” ITEP. In 2017 the first superconducting section of the linac has been successfully commissioned and extensively tested with beam at GSI. The measurements sufficiently present the capability of 216.816 MHz multi-gap Crossbar H-mode (CH) DTL-structures. An acceleration of heavy ions up to the design beam energy and beyond has been r…
The influence of topological phase transition on the superfluid density of overdoped copper oxides
2017
We show that a topological quantum phase transition, generating flat bands and altering Fermi surface topology, is a primary reason for the exotic behavior of the overdoped high-temperature superconductors represented by $\rm La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$, whose superconductivity features differ from what is described by the classical Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory [J.I. Bo\^zovi\'c, X. He, J. Wu, and A. T. Bollinger, Nature 536, 309 (2016)]. We demonstrate that 1) at temperature $T=0$, the superfluid density $n_s$ turns out to be considerably smaller than the total electron density; 2) the critical temperature $T_c$ is controlled by $n_s$ rather than by doping, and is a linear function of the $n_s$…
