Squeezed thermal phonons precurse nonthermal melting of silicon as a function of fluence
(2013)
A femtosecond-laser pulse can induce ultrafast nonthermal melting of various materials along pathways
that are inaccessible under thermodynamic conditions, but it is not known whether there is any structural
modification at fluences just below the melting threshold. Here, we show for silicon that in this regime the
room-temperature phonons become thermally squeezed, which is a process that has not been reported
before in this material. We find that the origin of this effect is the sudden femtosecond-laser-induc ...

First-principles electronic theory of non-collinear magnetic order in transition-metal nanowires
(2015-05-27)
The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of one-dimensional 3d transition-metal (TM)
monoatomic chains having linear, zigzag and ladder geometries are investigated in the frame-work of
first-principles density-functional theory. The stability of long-range magnetic order along the
nanowires is determined by computing the corresponding frozen-magnon dispersion relations as a
function of the 'spin-wave' vector q.
First, we show that the ground-state magnetic orders of V, Mn and Fe linear chains at ...

Finite-Elemente-Mehrgitter von Molekülen
(2014-05-19)
Im Rahmen der Dichtefunktionaltheorie wurden Orbitalfunktionale wie z.B. B3LYP entwickelt. Diese lassen sich mit der „optimized effective potential“ – Methode selbstkonsistent auswerten. Während sie früher nur im 1D-Fall genau berechnet werden konnte, entwickelten Kümmel und Perdew eine Methode, bei der das OEP-Problem unter Verwendung einer Differentialgleichung selbstkonsistent gelöst werden kann. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Finite-Elemente-Mehrgitter-Verfahren verwendet, um die entstehenden Gleichungen zu lösen und ...

Molecular Imaging using Strong-Field Processes
(2011-03-11)
Die Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Zusammenhang zwischen einfachen Molekülen und deren Verhalten in starken, kurzen Laserfeldern. Einerseits wird versucht, strukturelle Daten des Moleküls in den Elektronen- und Photonenspektren wiederzuerkennen. Andererseits geht es darum, ein Bild der elektronischen Wellenfunktion aus den spektralen Daten abzuleiten.

InP - based quantum dots for telecom wavelengths ranges
(2019-12)
Long-distance quantum communication applications require sources of single photons, emitting at telecom wavelengths (around 1550 nm) with minimum attenu-ation losses of silica fiber.
Semiconductor self-assembled InAs/InP-based quantum dots (QDs) are possible candidates to
reach this spectral region. One of the challenges on the way is a QD asymmetry, which limits the fidelity of entangled photons. Therefore, morphological and optical properties of QDs should be improved in order to achieve the necessary quality and ...

High-precision force sensing using a single trapped ion
(2016-06-16)
We introduce quantum sensing schemes for measuring very weak forces with a single trapped ion. They use the spin-motional coupling induced by the laser-ion interaction to transfer the relevant force information to the spin-degree of freedom. Therefore, the force estimation is carried out simply by observing the Ramsey-type oscillations of the ion spin states. Three quantum probes are considered, which are represented by systems obeying the Jaynes-Cummings, quantum Rabi (in 1D) and Jahn-Teller (in 2D) models. By using ...

Beating the limits with initial correlations
(2017-11-28)
Fast and reliable reset of a qubit is a key prerequisite for any quantum technology. For real world open quantum systems undergoing non-Markovian dynamics, reset implies not only purification, but in particular erasure of initial correlations between qubit and environment. Here, we derive optimal reset protocols using a combination of geometric and numerical control theory. For factorizing initial states, we find a lower limit for the entropy reduction of the qubit as well as a speed limit. The time-optimal solution ...

Abhängigkeit des Exchange-Bias Feldes und des Koerzitivfeldes von der mittels Röntgendiffraktometrie gemessenen Kornvolumenverteilung des Antiferromagneten in Exchange-Bias Schichtsystemen
(2019-10-02)
Der Exchange-Bias Effekt wird in vielen technischen Anwendungen, wie z.B. in magnetischen Speichermedien oder in Magnetsensorköpfen zum Pinnen der Magnetisierungsrichtung der Referenzelektrode, eingesetzt. Dieser Effekt tritt ausschließlich in dünnen Schichtsystemen, in denen sich ein dünner Ferromagnet mit einem dünnen Antiferromagneten in Kontakt befindet, auf und bewirkt eine Verschiebung der Hysteresekurve entlang der Magnetfeldachse. Solche Exchange-Bias Schichtsysteme können mittels Ionenbeschuss, d.h., leichte ...

Direct evidence for radiative charge transfer after inner-shell excitation and ionization of large clusters
(2018-01-16)
We directly observe radiative charge transfer (RCT) in Ne clusters by dispersed vacuum-ultraviolet photon detection. The doubly ionized Ne^2+ – Ne_n-1 initial states of RCT are populated after resonant 1s–3p photoexcitation or 1s photoionization of Ne_n clusters with {n} \approx 2800. These states relax further producing Ne^+ – Ne^+ – Ne_n-2 final states, and the RCT photon is emitted. Ab initio calculations assign the observed RCT signal to the Ne^2+(2p^-2 [^1D]) - Ne_n-1 initial state, while transitions from other ...

Molecular-Frame Angular Distributions of Electrons Emitted by Photoionization and Interatomic Coulombic Decay
(2020)
The continuous refinement of the experimental and theoretical methods to study the electron angular emission distributions, and particularly in a molecule frame of reference, have contributed to a keen understanding of the structure of molecules and have provided deeper insight into fundamental physical phenomena.
Revealing many details of the ionization dynamics, the molecular-frame angular distributions (MFADs) of emitted electrons have been an appealing research topic for the last two decades. Owing to the ...
