Critical behaviour in one dimension: unconventional pairing, phase separation, BEC-BCS crossover and magnetic Lifshitz transition
2017
We study the superconducting properties of population-imbalanced ultracold Fermi mixtures in one-dimensional (1D) optical lattices that can be effectively described by the spin-imbalanced attractive Hubbard model (AHM) in the presence of a Zeeman magnetic field. We use the mean-field theory approach to obtain the ground state phase diagrams including some unconventional superconducting phases such as the Fulde--Ferrell--Larkin--Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase, and the $\eta$ phase (an extremal case of the FFLO phase), both for the case of a fixed chemical potential and for a fixed number of particles. It allows to determine optimal regimes for the FFLO phase as well as $\eta$-pairing stability. We…
Algorithmic cooling of nuclear spins using long-lived singlet order
2020
Algorithmic cooling methods manipulate an open quantum system in order to lower its temperature below that of the environment. We achieve significant cooling of an ensemble of nuclear spin-pair systems by exploiting the long-lived nuclear singlet state, which is an antisymmetric quantum superposition of the "up" and "down" Zeeman states. The effect is demonstrated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on a molecular system containing a coupled pair of near-equivalent 13C nuclei. The populations of the system are subjected to a repeating sequence of cyclic permutations separated by relaxation intervals. The long-lived nuclear singlet order is pumped well beyond the unitary limit. T…
Atomic transitions of Rb, D2 line in strong magnetic fields: Hyperfine Paschen–Back regime
2014
An efficient $\lambda/2$-method ($\lambda$ is the resonant wavelength of laser radiation) based on nanometric-thickness cell filled with rubidium is implemented to study the splitting of hyperfine transitions of $^{85}$Rb and $^{87}$Rb $D_2$ lines in an external magnetic field in the range of $B =3$~kG -- 7~kG. It is experimentally demonstrated that at $B > 3$~kG from 38 (22) Zeeman transitions allowed at low $B$-field in $^{85}$Rb ($^{87}$Rb) spectra in the case of $\sigma^+$ polarized laser radiation there remain only 12 (8) which is caused by decoupling of the total electronic momentum $\textbf{J}$ and the nuclear spin momentum $\textbf{I}$ (hyperfine Paschen-Back regime). Note that at $…
Hyperfine Paschen-Back regime in alkali metal atoms: consistency of two theoretical considerations and experiment
2013
Simple and efficient "\lambda-method" and "\lambda/2-method" (\lambda is the resonant wavelength of laser radiation) based on nanometric-thickness cell filled with rubidium are implemented to study the splitting of hyperfine transitions of 85Rb and 87Rb D_1 line in an external magnetic field in the range of B = 0.5 - 0.7 T. It is experimentally demonstrated from 20 (12) Zeeman transitions allowed at low B-field in 85Rb (87Rb) spectra in the case of \sigma+ polarized laser radiation, only 6 (4) remain at B > 0.5 T, caused by decoupling of the total electronic momentum J and the nuclear spin momentum I (hyperfine Paschen-Back regime). The expressions derived in the frame of completely uncoupl…
Validity of rate equations for Zeeman coherences for analysis of nonlinear interaction of atoms with broadband laser radiation
2004
In this paper we, to our knowledge, for the first time obtain the rate equations for Zeeman coherences in the broad line approximation and steady-state balance equations directly from optical Bloch equations without the use of the perturbation theory. The broad line approximation allows us to use the adiabatic elimination procedure in order to eliminate the optical coherences from the optical Bloch equations, but the steady-state condition allows us to derive the balance equations straightforward. We compare our approach with the perturbation theory approach as given previously and show that our approach is more flexible in analyzing various experiments. Meanwhile we also show the validity …
High-precision hyperfine spectroscopy inM1-M1 double-resonance transitions on trappedPb+207
1992
Optical pumping of the ground state of $^{207}\mathrm{Pb}^{+}$ ions, confined in a Paul ion trap on the weak 6${\mathit{P}}_{1/2\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$6${\mathit{P}}_{3/2}$ M1 transition at \ensuremath{\lambda}=710 nm, and consequent magnetic-dipole transitions between the ground-state hyperfine Zeeman levels have resulted in an A factor of 12 968 180 601.61(0.22) Hz and linewidth of 0.5 Hz. The value includes corrections of Zeeman shifts from residual magnetic fields and second-order Doppler shifts in the several-eV-deep trap potential, while the ions were cooled by He buffer gas. Two M1 quanta have been applied simultaneously in a double-resonance experiment.
Interface states in polariton topological insulators
2019
We address linear and nonlinear topological interface states in polariton condensates excited at the interface of the honeycomb and Lieb arrays of microcavity pillars in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman splitting in the external magnetic field. Such interface states appear only in total energy gaps of the composite structure when parameters of the honeycomb and Lieb arrays are selected such that some topological gaps in the spectrum of one of the arrays overlap with topological or nontopological gaps in the spectrum of the other array. This is in contrast to conventional edge states at the interface of periodic topological and uniform trivial insulators, whose behavior is dete…
Paramagnetic-diamagnetic interplay in quantum dots for non-zero temperatures
2000
In the usual Fock-and Darwin-formalism with parabolic potential characterized by the confining energy $\eps_o := \hbar\omega_o= 3.37$ meV, but including explicitly also the Zeeman coupling between spin and magnetic field, we study the combined orbital and spin magnetic properties of quantum dots in a two-dimensional electron gas with parameters for GaAs, for N =1 and N >> 1 electrons on the dot. For N=1 the magnetization M(T,B) consists of a paramagnetic spin contribution and a diamagnetic orbital contribution, which dominate in a non-trivial way at low temperature and fields rsp. high temperature and fields. For N >> 1, where orbital and spin effects are intrinsically coupled in a subtle w…
ExperimentalgJfactor in the metastable 5D3/2level ofBa+
1996
The Zeeman splitting of the metastable 5${\mathit{D}}_{3/2}$ level of $^{138}\mathrm{Ba}^{+}$ in a magnetic field of 6 T has been measured in a laser-microwave double resonance experiment in a Penning ion trap. The magnetic field at the ion's position is determined by the cyclotron frequency of electrons stored in the same trap. From the ratio of both transition frequencies we obtain a ${\mathit{g}}_{\mathit{J}}$ value of 0.799 327 8(3). As a by-product, we confirmed earlier measurements on the 6${\mathit{S}}_{1/2}$ ground-state ${\mathit{g}}_{\mathit{J}}$ factor to 2.002 492 2(10). The precision in both experiments is sufficient to test relativistic many-body calculations. \textcopyright{}…
Ground- and excited stateg-factors of Ba+
1991
We observed the Zeeman-splitting of the 6S 1/2-6P 1/2 resonance transition of Ba+ ions (493.4 nm) in a 6 T magnetic field. The ions were stored in a Penning quadrupole trap. From the splitting and the simultaneously measured cyclotron frequency of stored electrons we derived theg-factors of the 6S 1/2 and 6P 1/2 states. The results areg(6S 1/2)=2.00267(20) andg(6P 1/2)=0.66634(22).
