First-principles theory of giant Rashba-like spin splitting in bulk GeTe
摘要： Large Rashba-like spin splitting has been recently found in the band structure of certain bulk ferroelectrics. In contrast to the relativistic Rashba effect, the chiral spin texture and large spin splitting of the electronic bands depend strongly on the character of the band and atomic spin-orbit coupling. We establish that this can be traced back to an interplay between the orbital angular momentum and ferroelectricity. The additional dependence on the orbital composition of the bands is crucial to the complete picture of the effect. Results from ?rst-principles calculations on ferroelectic GeTe verify the key predictions of the model.

Manipulation of the dephasing time by strong coupling between localized and propagating surface plasmon modes
摘要： Strong coupling between two resonance modes leads to the formation of new hybrid modes exhibiting disparate characteristics owing to the reversible exchange of information between different uncoupled modes. Here, we realize the strong coupling between the localized surface plasmon resonance and surface plasmon polariton Bloch wave using multilayer nanostructures. An anticrossing behavior with a splitting energy of 144 meV can be observed from the far-field spectra. More importantly, we investigate the near-field properties in both the frequency and time domains using photoemission electron microscopy. In the frequency domain, the near-field spectra visually demonstrate normal-mode splitting and display the extent of coupling. Importantly, the variation of the dephasing time of the hybrid modes against the detuning is observed directly in the time domain. These findings signify the evolution of the dissipation and the exchange of information in plasmonic strong coupling systems and pave the way to manipulate the dephasing time of plasmon modes, which can benefit many applications of plasmonics.

Transmission-Line Model for Materials with Spin-Momentum Locking
摘要： We provide a transmission-line representation for channels exhibiting spin-momentum locking (SML) that can be used for both time-dependent and steady-state transport analysis on a wide variety of materials with spin-orbit coupling such as topological insulators, Kondo insulators, transition metals, semimetals, oxide interfaces, and narrow band-gap semiconductors. This model is based on a time-dependent four-component di?usion equation obtained from the Boltzmann transport equation assuming linear response and elastic scattering in the channel. We classify all electronic states in the channel into four groups (U+, D+, U?, and D?) depending on the spin index [up (U), down (D)] and the sign of the x component of the group velocity (+, ?) and assign an average electrochemical potential to each of the four groups to obtain the four-component di?usion equation. For normal metal channels, the model decouples into the well-known transmission-line model for charge and a time-dependent version of the Valet-Fert equation for spin. We ?rst show that, in the steady-state limit, our model leads to simple expressions for charge-spin interconversion in SML channels in good agreement with existing experimental data on diverse materials. We then use the full time-dependent model to study spin-charge separation in the presence of SML, a subject that has been controversial in the past. Our model shows that the charge and spin signals travel with two distinct velocities, resulting in well-known spin-charge separation, which is expected to persist even in the presence of SML. However, our model predicts that the lower velocity signal is purely spin, while the higher velocity signal is largely charge with an additional spin component proportional to the degree of SML, which has not been noted before. Finally, we note that our model can be used within standard circuit simulators such as SPICE to obtain numerical results for complex geometries.

Estimation of the Rashba Strength from Second Harmonic Generation in 2D and 3D Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskites
摘要： The Rashba e?ect (RE), caused by concurrent spin-orbit coupling and structural inversion asymmetry (SIA), has been invoked to explain outstanding optoelectronic properties of hybrid organic inorganic perovskites (HOIPs). The SIA in HOIPs also manifests itself in second harmonic generation (SHG). Here we establish a quantitative relation between the RE strength and the low-frequency SHG value in 2D and 3D HOIPs using a newly developed e?ective-mass model. The calculated SHG, which exhibits one- and two-photon resonances between the valence and conduction bands, approaches a ?nite value at low frequencies. Using the measured SHG values in literature, the estimated RE strength is 10?3 eV?A for 3D CH3NH3PbI3 and 4 × 10?2 eV?A for 2D (C4H9NH3)2PbI4. Our results facilitate a simple and reliable determination of the RE strength of 2D and 3D HOIPs and help quantify the impact of RE on various properties in HOIPs.

Self-hybridized exciton-polaritons in multilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides for efficient light absorption
摘要： Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted significant attention recently in the context of strong light-matter interaction. To observe strong coupling using these materials, excitons are typically hybridized with resonant photonic modes of stand-alone optical cavities, such as Fabry-Pérot microcavities or plasmonic nanoantennas. Here, we show that thick flakes of layered van der Waals TMDCs can themselves serve as low quality resonators due to their high background permittivity. Optical modes of such “cavities” can in turn hybridize with excitons in the same material. We perform an experimental and theoretical study of such self-hybridization in thick flakes of four common TMDC materials: WS2, WSe2, MoS2, and MoSe2. We observe splitting in reflection and transmission spectra in all four cases and provide angle-resolved dispersion measurements of exciton-polaritons as well as thickness-dependent data. Moreover, we observe significant enhancement and broadening of absorption in thick TMDC multilayers, which can be interpreted in terms of strong light-matter coupling. Remarkably, absorption reaches >50% efficiency across the entire visible spectrum, while simultaneously being weakly dependent on polarization and angle-of-incidence. Our results thus suggest formation of self-hybridized exciton-polaritons in thick TMDC flakes, which in turn may pave the way towards polaritonic and optoelectronic devices in these simple systems.

Ultrastrong-coupling regime of nondipolar light-matter interactions
摘要： We present a circuit-QED scheme which makes it possible to reach the ultrastrong-coupling regime of a nondipolar interaction between a single qubit and a quantum resonator. We show that the system Hamiltonian is well approximated by a two-photon quantum Rabi model and propose a simple scattering experiment to probe its fundamental properties. In particular, we identify a driving scheme that reveals the change in selection rules characterizing the breakdown of the rotating-wave approximation and the transition from strong to ultrastrong two-photon interactions. Finally, we show that a frequency crowding in a narrow spectral region is observable in the output fluorescence spectrum as the coupling strength approaches the collapse point, paving the way to the direct observation of the onset of the spectral collapse in a solid-state device.

In-situ observation of evolving microstructural damage and associated effective electro-mechanical properties of PZT during bipolar electrical fatigue
摘要： We investigate the fatigue behavior of bulk polycrystalline lead zirconate titanate (PZT) during bipolar electric field cycling. We characterize the frequency- and cycle-dependent degradation in both the effective electro-mechanical properties (specifically, the electrical hysteresis and the macroscopic viscoelastic stiffness and damping measured by Broadband Electromechanical Spectroscopy, BES) and the microstructural damage evolution (quantified via scanning electron microscopy). The BES setup enables the mechanical characterization while performing electrical cycling so as to measure the evolving viscoelasticity without remounting the sample; particularly measuring the viscoelastic damping allows us to gain insight into the ferroelectric domain wall activity across the full electric hysteresis and over the full range of cycles. A clear dependence on the electric cycling frequency is observed in the rates of degradation of all measured properties including an up to 10% increase in dynamic compliance and a 70% decrease in electric displacement magnitude. We quantify the evolving micro-crack density across wide ranges of numbers of cycles and compare with changes in the effective compliance. Interestingly, the observed strong degradation in the ferroelectric hysteresis is contrasted by relatively mild changes in the effective viscoelastic moduli, while samples clearly indicate increasing levels of micro-damage.

Impact of fourth order dispersion on modulational instabilities in asymmetrical three-core optical fiber
摘要： In this paper we investigate the impact of linear coupling coefficient and coupling coefficient dispersion on modulational instability (MI) in the presence of fourth order dispersion (FOD) in an asymmetric three core optical fiber under normal and anomalous dispersion regime. In addition, we also considered the impact of symmetric and asymmetric power ratio on MI characteristics. It is found that there is significant influence by linear coupling coefficient and frequencies is highly controlled by FOD, but the amplitude of MI gain found to be reduced with increasing FOD under each dispersion regimes. In case of CCD, the impact of FOD found to be quite insensitive and found no MI gain in the absence of CCD under symmetric power ratio under coupling coefficient dispersion (CCD) on MI under different dispersion regimes. In anomalous dispersion regime, at β4 < 0 the generation of smaller MI secondary side bands were observed at higher frequencies while at normal dispersion the effect of FOD leads to breaking of MI gain at different values of coupling coefficient. Though the appearance of the MI gain at different frequencies is highly controlled by FOD, but the amplitude of MI gain found to be reduced with increasing FOD under each dispersion regimes.

Spin-wave excitation and critical angles in a hybrid photon-magnon-coupled system
摘要： We studied “strongly enhanced” excitations of magnetostatic spin-waves in a hybrid magnon-photon-coupled system consisting of an inverted split-ring resonator and an yttrium iron garnet film. The backward-volume magnetostatic wave, magnetostatic surface wave, forward-volume magnetostatic wave modes, as well as multiple mixed modes were observed according to the direction of externally applied magnetic fields with respect to the spin-wave propagation direction. From experimental measurements, we found that there exist certain characteristic angles, which is to say, critical angles (θc), whereby the group velocity of the excited spin-wave modes reaches zero, along with a single ferromagnetic resonance peak. Furthermore, we analytically derived the critical angles as sin θc = (Heff /H){2 ? (1 + μ0Ms/Heff )sin2 fc}1/2, where Heff is the effective magnetic-field strength, H the externally applied field strength, and μ0Ms is the saturation magnetization. This analytical form is in quantitative agreement with estimations from experimentally observed spin-wave modes. This work not only provides a better understanding of multiple-mode spin-wave excitations in given field directions with the help of photon-magnon coupling, but also offers better coupling controllability based on the change of the external magnetic field direction.

Impact of electrona??phonon coupling on the quantum yield of photovoltaic devices
摘要： In describing the charge carriers’ separation mechanism in the organic solar cell, providing a method, which considers the impact of all parameters of interest on the same footing within an inexpensive numerical effort, could play an essential role. We use here a simple tight-binding model to describe the dissociation of the charge carriers and investigate their dependence on the physical parameters of the system. We demonstrate that the quantum yield of the cell is subtly controlled by the collective action of the Coulomb interaction of the electron–hole pair, electron–phonon coupling, and the geminate recombination of the charge carriers. This approach should help us understand the performance of organic solar cells and optimize their efficiency.
