Struktūra un fotofizikālie procesi 0D un 1D InGaN kompozītu materiālos
2014
Šajā disertācijā tiek aprakstīti strukturālās un fotofizikālās MOCVD izaudzēto GaN nanovadu (NV) un InGaN kvantu punktu (KP) īpašības. Abos gadījumos ir parādīts, ka ex-situ RHEED mērījumi ir iespējami un sniedz kvalitatīvu informāciju par struktūru. Kombinācijā ar citām metodēm, pirmkārt, ir parādīts, ka nemetāliskā katalizatora veicinātā GaN NV īpašības, kad sintezēts uz GaN (0001) virsmas, atšķiras no tradicionāli iegūtajiem. Šinī gadījumā katalizators lokalizējas pie nanovadu pamatnes nevis tā galā un augšanas virziens ir atšķirīgs no kristalogrāfiskās c-ass, rezultātā iegūstot semipolārās NV struktūras. Otrkārt, InGaN kvantu punktos ir konstatēt saspiesta kristāliskā režģa struktūra au…
Quantum-well states in ultrathin Ag(111) films deposited onto H-passivated Si(111)-(1x1) surfaces
2002
Ag(111) films were deposited at room temperature onto H-passivated Si(111)-(1x1) substrates, and subsequently annealed at 300 C. An abrupt non-reactive Ag/Si interface is formed, and very uniform non-strained Ag(111) films of 6-12 monolayers have been grown. Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy has been used to study the valence band electronic properties of these films. Well-defined Ag sp quantum-well states (QWS) have been observed at discrete energies between 0.5-2eV below the Fermi level, and their dispersions have been measured along the GammaK, GammaMM'and GammaL symmetry directions. QWS show a parabolic bidimensional dispersion, with in-plane effective mass of 0.38-0.50mo, along…
Depolarization Field and Properties of Thin Ferroelectric Films with Inclusion of the Electrode Effect
2005
The influence of metallic electrodes on the properties of thin ferroelectric films is considered in the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau phenomenological theory. The contribution of the electrodes with different screening lengths l s of carriers in the electrode material is included in the free-energy functional. The critical temperature T cl , the critical thickness of the film, and the critical screening length of the electrode at which the ferroelectric phase transforms into the paraelectric phase are calculated. The Euler-Lagrange equation for the polarization P is solved by the direct variational method. The results demonstrate that the film properties can be calculated by minimizing t…
Atomic lattice excitons: from condensates to crystals
2007
We discuss atomic lattice excitons (ALEs), bound particle-hole pairs formed by fermionic atoms in two bands of an optical lattice. Such a system provides a clean setup to study fundamental properties of excitons, ranging from condensation to exciton crystals (which appear for a large effective mass ratio between particles and holes). Using both mean-field treatments and 1D numerical computation, we discuss the properities of ALEs under varying conditions, and discuss in particular their preparation and measurement.
Quantum signatures in the dynamics of two dipole-dipole interacting soft dimers
2006
The quantum covariances of physically transparent pairs of observables relative to two dimers hosted in a solid matrix are exactly investigated in the temporal domain. Both dimers possess fermionic and bosonic degrees of freedom and are dipolarly coupled. We find out and describe clear signatures traceable back to the presence and persistence of quantum coherence in the time evolution of the system. Manifestations of a competition between intramolecular and intermolecular energy migration mechanisms are brought to light. The experimental relevance of our results is briefly commented.
Magnetic quantum criticality in quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet Cu (C4H4N2)( NO 3)2
2016
We analyze exciting recent measurements [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114 (2015) 037202] of the magnetization, differential susceptibility and specific heat on one dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet Cu(C4H4N2)(NO3)2 (CuPzN) subjected to strong magnetic fields. Using the mapping between magnons (bosons) in CuPzN and fermions, we demonstrate that magnetic field tunes the insulator towards quantum critical point related to so-called fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT) at which the resulting fermion effective mass diverges kinematically. We show that the FCQPT concept permits to reveal the scaling behavior of thermodynamic characteristics, describe the experimental results quantitativ…
FERMION CONDENSATION, T -LINEAR RESISTIVITY AND PLANCKIAN LIMIT
2019
We explain recent challenging experimental observations of universal scattering rate related to the linear-temperature resistivity exhibited by a large corps of both strongly correlated Fermi systems and conventional metals. We show that the observed scattering rate in strongly correlated Fermi systems like heavy fermion metals and high-$T_c$ superconductors stems from phonon contribution that induce the linear temperature dependence of a resistivity. The above phonons are formed by the presence of flat band, resulting from the topological fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT). We emphasize that so - called Planckian limit, widely used to explain the above universal scatteri…
Dipole surface plasmon in K+N clusters
1992
Abstract The technique of sum rules has been used to investigate the dipole surface plasmon for K + N clusters within a Density Functional Theory and the spherical jellium model. The role played by non-local effects is discussed comparing the results obtained from different functionals. Band-structure and core-polarization effects have been phenomenologically included in the calculation by means of an electron effective mass and a dielectric constant. Comparison with recent experimental data is presented.
