  • spin orbit coupling and linear crossings of dipolar magnons in van der waals antiferromagnets
    Physical Review B, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jie Liu, L Wang, Ka Shen
    Abstract:

    A magnon spin-orbit coupling, induced by the Dipole-Dipole Interaction, is derived in monoclinic-stacked bilayer honeycomb spin lattice with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling. Linear crossings are predicted in the magnon spectrum around the band minimum in $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}$ valley, as well as in the high-frequency range around the zone boundary. The linear crossings in $K$ and ${K}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ valleys, which connect the acoustic and optical bands, can be gapped when the intralayer Dipole-Dipole or Kitaev Interactions exceed the interlayer Dipole-Dipole Interaction, resulting in a phase transition from semimetal to insulator. Our results are useful for analyzing the magnon spin dynamics and transport properties in van der Waals antiferromagnets.

    Abstract:

    A magnon spin-orbit coupling, induced by the Dipole-Dipole Interaction, is derived in monoclinic-stacked bilayer honeycomb spin lattice with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling. Linear crossings are predicted in the magnon spectrum around the band minimum in G valley, as well as in the high frequency range around the zone boundary. The linear crossings in K and K' valleys, which connect the acoustic and optical bands, can be gapped when the intralayer Dipole-Dipole or Kitaev Interactions exceed the interlayer Dipole-Dipole Interaction, resulting in a phase transition from semimetal to insulator.

  • dipolar spin waves in uniaxial easy axis antiferromagnets a natural topological nodal line semimetal
    Physical Review Research, 2020
    Co-Authors: Jie Liu, L Wang, Ka Shen

    The authors show that the Dipole-Dipole Interaction drives the magnons in any uniaxial easy-axis antiferromagnet into a topological nodal-line semimetal phase, which hosts surface modes with chirality-momentum locking.

  • Dipolar spin waves in uniaxial easy-axis antiferromagnets: A natural topological nodal-line semimetal
    'American Physical Society (APS)', 2020
    Co-Authors: Liu Jie, Wang Lin, Ka Shen
    Abstract:

    The existence of the magnetostatic surface spin waves in ferromagnets, known as Damon-Eshbach mode, was recently demonstrated to originate from the topology of the Dipole-Dipole Interaction. In this work, we study the topological characteristics of magnons in easy-axis antiferromagnets with uniaxial anisotropy. The dipolar spin waves are found to be, driven by the Dipole-Dipole Interaction, in a topological nodal-line semimetal phase, which hosts Damon-Eshbach-type surface modes due to the bulk-edge correspondence. The long wavelength character of dipolar spin waves makes our proposal valid for any natural uniaxial easy-axis antiferromagnet, and thus enriches the candidates of topological magnonic materials. In contrast to the nonreciprocal property in ferromagnetic case, the surface modes with opposite momentum coexist at each surface, but with different chiralities. Such a chirality-momentum or spin-momentum locking, similar to that of electronic surface states in topological insulators, offers the opportunity to design novel chirality-based magnonic devices in antiferromagnets

  • resonance Dipole Dipole Interaction between two accelerated atoms in the presence of a reflecting plane boundary
    Symmetry, 2018
    Co-Authors: Wenting Zhou, Roberto Passante, Lucia Rizzuto
    Abstract:

    We study the resonant DipoleDipole Interaction energy between two non-inertial identical atoms, one excited and the other in the ground state, prepared in a correlated Bell-type state, and interacting with the scalar field or the electromagnetic field nearby a perfectly reflecting plate. We suppose the two atoms move with the same uniform acceleration, parallel to the plane boundary, and that their separation is constant during the motion. By separating the contributions of radiation reaction field and vacuum fluctuations to the resonance energy shift of the two-atom system, we show that Unruh thermal fluctuations do not affect the resonance Interaction, which is exclusively related to the radiation reaction field. However, non-thermal effects of acceleration in the radiation-reaction contribution, beyond the Unruh acceleration–temperature equivalence, affect the resonance Interaction energy. By considering specific geometric configurations of the two-atom system relative to the plate, we show that the presence of the mirror significantly modifies the resonance Interaction energy between the two accelerated atoms. In particular, we find that new and different features appear with respect to the case of atoms in the free-space, related to the presence of the boundary and to the peculiar structure of the quantum electromagnetic field vacuum in the locally inertial frame. Our results suggest the possibility to exploit the resonance Interaction between accelerated atoms as a probe for detecting the elusive effects of atomic acceleration on radiative processes.

    Co-Authors: Wenting Zhou, Roberto Passante, Lucia Rizzuto
    Abstract:

    We study the resonant Dipole-Dipole Interaction energy between two uniformly accelerated identical atoms, one excited and the other in the ground state, prepared in a correlated {\em Bell-type} state, and interacting with the scalar field or the electromagnetic field nearby a perfectly reflecting plate. We suppose the two atoms moving with the same uniform acceleration, parallel to the plane boundary, and that their separation is constant during the motion. We separate the contributions of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction field to the resonance energy shift of the two-atom system, and show that Unruh thermal fluctuations do not affect the resonance Interaction, which is exclusively related to the radiation reaction field. However, nonthermal effects of acceleration in the radiation-reaction contribution, beyond the Unruh acceleration-temperature equivalence, affect the resonance Interaction energy. By considering specific geometric configurations of the two-atom system relative to the plate, we show that the presence of the mirror significantly modifies the resonance Interaction energy between the two accelerated atoms. In particular, we find that new and different features appear with respect to the case of atoms in the free space, related to the presence of the boundary and to the peculiar structure of the quantum electromagnetic field vacuum in the locally inertial frame. Our results suggest the possibility to exploit the resonance Interaction between accelerated atoms, as a probe for detecting the elusive effects of atomic acceleration on radiative processes.

  • vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction contributions to the resonance Dipole Dipole Interaction between two atoms near a reflecting boundary
    Physical Review A, 2018
    Co-Authors: Wenting Zhou, Lucia Rizzuto, Roberto Passante
    Abstract:

    We investigate the resonance Dipole-Dipole Interaction energy between two identical atoms, one in the ground state and the other in the excited state, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the presence of a perfectly reflecting plane boundary. The atoms are prepared in a correlated (symmetric or antisymmetric) Bell-type state. Following a procedure due to Dalibard et al. [J. Dalibard et al., J. Phys. (Paris) 43, 1617 (1982); J. Phys. (Paris) 45, 637 (1984)], we separate the contributions of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction (source) field to the resonance Interaction energy between the two atoms and show that only the source field contributes to the interatomic Interaction, while vacuum field fluctuations do not. By considering specific geometric configurations of the two-atom system with respect to the mirror and specific choices of Dipole orientations, we show that the presence of the mirror significantly affects the resonance Interaction energy and that different features appear with respect to the case of atoms in free space, for example, a change in the spatial dependence of the Interaction. Our findings also suggest that the presence of a boundary can be exploited to tailor and control the resonance Interaction between two atoms, as well as the related energy transfer process. The possibility of observing these phenomena is also discussed.

  • enhancement of the second harmonic generation in a quantum dot metallic nanoparticle hybrid system
    Nanotechnology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Mahi R. Singh
    Abstract:

    We have investigated the second-harmonic generation (SHG) and DipoleDipole Interaction in a quantum dot and metallic nanoparticle hybrid system. A strong probe field is applied to create two-photon absorption in the quantum dot and metallic nanoparticle. SHG photons and SHG surface plasmon polaritons are emitted by the quantum dot and metallic nanoparticle, respectively. Induced Dipoles are created in the quantum dot and the metallic nanoparticle due to two-photon absorption and hence both systems interact with each other via the DipoleDipole Interaction. It is found that SHG signals produced by the quantum dot and nanoparticle are enhanced by the DipoleDipole Interaction and also that the SHG signal can be switched on and off by applying a control field. The theoretical findings of this paper are supported by recent experimental studies. The present hybrid system can be used to fabricate nano-sensors and all-optical nano-switching devices.

  • Dipole-Dipole Interaction between a quantum dot and a graphene nanodisk
    Physical Review B, 2012
    Co-Authors: Joel D. Cox, Mahi R. Singh, Godfrey Gumbs, Miguel A. Antón, Fernando Carreño
    Abstract:

    We study theoretically the Dipole-Dipole Interaction and energy transfer in a hybrid system consisting of a quantum dot and graphene nanodisk embedded in a nonlinear photonic crystal. In our model, a probe laser field is applied to measure the energy transfer between the quantum dot and graphene nanodisk, while a control field manipulates the energy transfer process. These fields create excitons in the quantum dot and surface plasmon polaritons in the graphene nanodisk which interact via the Dipole-Dipole Interaction. Here, the nonlinear photonic crystal acts as a tunable photonic reservoir for the quantum dot, and is used to control the energy transfer. We have found that the spectrum of power absorption in the quantum dot has two peaks due to the creation of two dressed excitons in the presence of the Dipole-Dipole Interaction. The energy transfer rate spectrum of the graphene nanodisk also has two peaks due to the absorption of these two dressed excitons. Additionally, energy transfer between the quantum dot and the graphene nanodisk can be switched on and off by applying a pump laser to the photonic crystal or by adjusting the strength of the Dipole-Dipole Interaction. We show that the intensity and frequencies of the peaks in the energy transfer rate spectra can be modified by changing the number of graphene monolayers in the nanodisk or the separation between the quantum dot and graphene. Our results agree with existing experiments on a qualitative basis. The principle of our system can be employed to fabricate nanobiosensors, optical nanoswitches, and energy transfer devices.

  • Dipole Dipole Interaction in a quantum dot and metallic nanorod hybrid system
    Applied Physics Letters, 2011
    Co-Authors: Mahi R. Singh, Daniel Schindel, Ali Hatef
    Abstract:

    We have studied quantum coherence and interference phenomena in a quantum dot (QD)-metallic nanorod (MNR) hybrid system. Probe and control laser fields are applied to the hybrid system. Induced Dipole moments are created in the QD and the MNR, and they interact with each other via the Dipole-Dipole Interaction. Using the density matrix method, it was found that the power spectrum of MNR has two transparent, states and they can be switched to one transparent state by the control field. Ultrafast switching and sensing nanodevices could be produced using this model.

  • theoretical progress in many body physics with ultracold dipolar gases
    Physics Reports, 2008
    Co-Authors: M A Baranov
    Abstract:

    Abstract Recent experimental progress in trapping and cooling of molecular gases boosts interest in the interdisciplinary field of quantum gases with dominant DipoleDipole Interactions. An unprecedented level of experimental control together with specific physical properties of DipoleDipole Interaction provide a unique possibility to find new physical phenomena and practical applications. In this review, recent achievements in theoretical studies of ultracold dipolar gases, both fermionic and bosonic, are presented. We focus our attention on many-body properties of such systems and discuss how the characteristic features of DipoleDipole Interaction, long range and anisotropy, affect their collective behavior and result in novel macroscopic quantum phenomena. The consideration covers spatially homogeneous and trapped cases, and includes analysis of the properties of dipolar gases in both the mean-field regime (dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates and superfluid BCS pairing transition) and in the strongly correlated one (dipolar gases in optical lattices and in rotating traps).
