The superconducting properties of complex materials like the recently discovered iron-pnictides or strontium-ruthenate are often governed by multi-orbital effects. In order to unravel the superconductivity of those materials, we develop a multi-orbital implementation of the functional renormalization group and study the pairing states of several characteristic material systems. Starting with the iron-pnictides, we find competing spin-fluctuation channels that become attractive if the superconducting gap changes sign between the nested portions of the Fermi surface. Depending on material details like doping or pnictogen height, these spin fluctuations then give rise to $s_{\pm}$-wave pairing with or without gap nodes and, in some cases, also change the symmetry to $d$-wave. Near the transition from nodal $s_{\pm}$-wave to $d$-wave pairing, we predict the occurrence of a time-reversal symmetry-broken $(s+id)$-pairing state which avoids gap nodes and is therefore energetically favored. We further study the electronic instabilities of doped graphene, another fascinating material which has recently become accessible and which can effectively be regarded as multi-orbital system. Here, the hexagonal lattice structure assures the degeneracy of two $d$-wave pairing channels, and the system then realizes a chiral $(d+id)$-pairing state in a wide doping range around van-Hove filling. In addition, we also find spin-triplet pairing as well as an exotic spin-density wave phase which both become leading if the long-ranged hopping or interaction parameters are slightly modified, for example, by choosing different substrate materials. Finally, we consider the superconducting state of strontium-ruthenate, a possible candidate for chiral spin-triplet pairing with fascinating properties like the existence of half-quantum vortices obeying non-Abelian statistics. Using a microscopic three orbital description including spin-orbit coupling, we demonstrate that ferromagnetic fluctuations are still sufficient to induce this $\bs{\hat{z}}(p_x\pm ip_y)$-pairing state. The resulting superconducting gap reveals strong anisotropies on the $d_{xy}$-dominated Fermi-surface pocket and nearly vanishes on the other remaining two pockets.
We present a supersymmetric left-right model which predicts gauge coupling unification close to the string scale and extra vector bosons at the TeV scale. The subtleties in constructing a model which is in agreement with the measured quark masses and mixing for such a low left-right breaking scale are discussed. It is shown that in the constrained version of this model radiative breaking of the gauge symmetries is possible and a SM-like Higgs is obtained. Additional CP-even scalars of a similar mass or even much lighter are possible. The expected mass hierarchies for the supersymmetric states differ clearly from those of the constrained MSSM. In particular, the lightest down-type squark, which is a mixture of the sbottom and extra vector-like states, is always lighter than the stop. We also comment on the model’s capability to explain current anomalies observed at the LHC.
Pulsars (in short for Pulsating Stars) are magnetized, fast rotating neutron stars. The basic picture of a pulsar describes it as a neutron star which has a rotation axis that is not aligned with its magnetic field axis. The emission is assumed to be generated near the magnetic poles of the neutron star and emitted along the open magnetic field lines. Consequently, the corresponding beam of photons is emitted along the magnetic field line axis. The non-alignment of both, the rotation and the magnetic field axis, results in the effect that the emission of the pulsar is only seen if its beam points towards the observer.
The emission from a pulsar is therefore perceived as being pulsed although its generation is not. This rather simple geometrical model is commonly referred to as Lighthouse Model and has been widely accepted. However, it does not deliver an explanation of the precise mechanisms behind the emission from pulsars (see below for more details).
Nowadays more than 2000 pulsars are known. They are observed at various wavelengths. Multiwavelength studies have shown that some pulsars are visible only at certain wavelengths while the emission from others can be observed throughout large parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. An example of the latter case is the Crab pulsar which is also the main object of interest in this thesis. Originating from a supernova explosion observed in 1054 A.D. and discovered in 1968, the Crab pulsar has been the central subject of numerous studies. Its pulsed emission is visible throughout the whole electromagnetic spectrum which makes it a key figure in understanding the possible mechanisms of multiwavelength emission from pulsars.
The Crab pulsar is also well known for its radio emission strongly varying on long as well as on short time scales. While long time scale behaviour from a pulsar is usually examined through the use of its average profile (a profile resulting from averaging of a large number of individual pulses resulting from single rotations), short time scale behaviour is examined via its single pulses. The short time scale anomalous behaviour of its radio emission is commonly referred to as Giant Pulses and represents the central topic of this thesis.
While current theoretical approaches place the origin of the radio emission from a pulsar like the Crab near its magnetic poles (Polar Cap Model) as already indicated by the Lighthouse model, its emission at higher frequencies, especially its gamma-ray emission, is assumed to originate further away in the geometrical region surrounding a pulsar which is commonly referred to as a pulsar magnetosphere (Outer Gap Model). Consequently, the respective emission regions are usually assumed not to be connected. However, past observational results from the Crab pulsar represent a contradiction to this assumption.
Radio giant pulses from the Crab pulsar have been observed to emit large amounts of energy on very short time scales implying small emission regions on the surface of the pulsar. Such energetic events might also leave a trace in the gamma-ray emission of the Crab pulsar.
The aim of this thesis is to search for this connection in the form of a correlation study between radio giant pulses and gamma-photons from the Crab pulsar.
To make such a study possible, a multiwavelength observational campaign was organized for which radio observations were independently applied for, coordinated and carried out with the Effelsberg radio telescope and the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope and gamma-ray observations with the Major Atmospheric Imaging Cherenkov telescopes. The corresponding radio and gamma-ray data sets were reduced and the correlation analysis thereafter consisted of three different approaches:
1) The search for a clustering in the differences of the times of arrival of radio giant pulses and gamma-photons;
2) The search for a linear correlation between radio giant pulses and gamma-photons using the Pearson correlation approach;
3) A search for an increase of the gamma-ray flux around occurring radio giant pulses.
In the last part of the correlation study an increase of the number of gamma-photons centered on a radio giant pulse by about 17% (in contrast with the number of gamma-photons when no radio giant pulse occurs in the same time window) was discovered. This finding suggests that a new theoretical approach for the emission of young pulsars like the Crab pulsar, is necessary.
We analyze the concomitant spontaneous breaking of translation and conformal symmetries by introducing in a CFT a complex scalar operator that acquires a spatially dependent expectation value. The model, inspired by the holographic Q-lattice, provides a privileged setup to study the emergence of phonons from a spontaneous translational symmetry breaking in a conformal field theory and offers valuable hints for the treatment of phonons in QFT at large. We first analyze the Ward identity structure by means of standard QFT techniques, considering both spontaneous and explicit symmetry breaking. Next, by implementing holographic renormalization, we show that the same set of Ward identities holds in the holographic Q-lattice. Eventually, relying on the holographic and QFT results, we study the correlators realizing the symmetry breaking pattern and how they encode information about the low-energy spectrum.
The most energetic versions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) feature two highly-relativistic plasma outflows, so-called jets, that are created in the vicinity of the central supermassive black hole and evolve in opposite directions. In blazars, which dominate the extragalactic gamma-ray sky, the jets are aligned close to the observer's line of sight leading to strong relativistic beaming effects of the jet emission. Radio observations especially using very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) provide the best way to gain direct information on the intrinsic properties of jets down to sub-parsec scales, close to their formation region.
In this thesis, I focus on the properties of three AGNs, IC 310, PKS 2004-447, and 3C 111 that belong to the small non-blazar population of gamma-ray-loud AGNs. In these kinds of AGNs, the jets are less strongly aligned with respect to the observer than in blazars. I study them in detail with a variety of radio astronomical instruments with respect to their high-energy emission and in the context of the large samples in the monitoring programmes MOJAVE and TANAMI. My analysis of radio interferometric observations and flux density monitoring data reveal very different characteristics of the jet emission in these sources. The work presented in this thesis illustrates the diversity of the radio properties of gamma-ray-loud AGNs that do not belong to the dominating class of blazars.
A search for Secluded Dark Matter annihilation in the Sun using 2007-2012 data of the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. Three different cases are considered: a) detection of dimuons that result from the decay of the mediator, or neutrino detection from: b) mediator that decays into a dimuon and, in turn, into neutrinos, and c) mediator that decays directly into neutrinos. As no significant excess over background is observed, constraints are derived on the dark matter mass and the lifetime of the mediator.
Accessing topological superconductivity via a combined STM and renormalization group analysis
(2015)
The search for topological superconductors has recently become a key issue in condensed matter physics, because of their possible relevance to provide a platform for Majorana bound states, non-Abelian statistics, and quantum computing. Here we propose a new scheme which links as directly as possible the experimental search to a material-based microscopic theory for topological superconductivity. For this, the analysis of scanning tunnelling microscopy, which typically uses a phenomenological ansatz for the superconductor gap functions, is elevated to a theory, where a multi-orbital functional renormalization group analysis allows for an unbiased microscopic determination of the material-dependent pairing potentials. The combined approach is highlighted for paradigmatic hexagonal systems, such as doped graphene and water-intercalated sodium cobaltates, where lattice symmetry and electronic correlations yield a propensity for a chiral singlet topological superconductor. We demonstrate that our microscopic material-oriented procedure is necessary to uniquely resolve a topological superconductor state.
In the past few years, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has provided the first-ever event horizon-scale images of the supermassive black holes (BHs) M87* and Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). The next-generation EHT project is an extension of the EHT array that promises larger angular resolution and higher sensitivity to the dim, extended flux around the central ring-like structure, possibly connecting the accretion flow and the jet. The ngEHT Analysis Challenges aim to understand the science extractability from synthetic images and movies to inform the ngEHT array design and analysis algorithm development. In this work, we compare the accretion flow structure and dynamics in numerical fluid simulations that specifically target M87* and Sgr A*, and were used to construct the source models in the challenge set. We consider (1) a steady-state axisymmetric radiatively inefficient accretion flow model with a time-dependent shearing hotspot, (2) two time-dependent single fluid general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations from the H-AMR code, (3) a two-temperature GRMHD simulation from the BHAC code, and (4) a two-temperature radiative GRMHD simulation from the KORAL code. We find that the different models exhibit remarkably similar temporal and spatial properties, except for the electron temperature, since radiative losses substantially cool down electrons near the BH and the jet sheath, signaling the importance of radiative cooling even for slowly accreting BHs such as M87*. We restrict ourselves to standard torus accretion flows, and leave larger explorations of alternate accretion models to future work.
It is aim of this work to develop, implement, and apply a new numerical scheme for modeling turbulent, multiphase astrophysical flows such as galaxy cluster cores and star forming regions. The method combines the capabilities of adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) and large-eddy simulations (LES) to capture localized features and to represent unresolved turbulence, respectively; it will be referred to as Fluid mEchanics with Adaptively Refined Large-Eddy SimulationS or FEARLESS.
Advanced LIGO detected a significant gravitational wave signal (GW170104) originating from the coalescence of two black holes during the second observation run on January 4th, 2017. An all-sky high-energy neutrino follow-up search has been made using data from the Antares neutrino telescope, including both upgoing and downgoing events in two separate analyses. No neutrino candidates were found within ±500 s around the GW event time nor any time clustering of events over an extended time window of ±3 months. The non-detection is used to constrain isotropic-equivalent high-energy neutrino emission from GW170104 to less than ∼ 1.2 × \(10^{55}\) erg for a \(E^{−2}\) spectrum. This constraint is valid in the energy range corresponding to the 5–95% quantiles of the neutrino flux [3.2 TeV; 3.6 PeV], if the GW emitter was below the Antares horizon at the alert time.
Die stetige Degradation von Halbleiterlasern, speziell bei Bleichalkogenidlasern, erfordert in spektroskopischen Systemen eine regelmäßige Überwachung typischer Eigenschaften wie Abstimmcharakteristik und Linienbreite. Im Hinblick auf einen möglichst hohen Automatisierungsgrad wird langfristig eine Online-Analysemethode zur Überwachung notwendig sein. Die üblicherweise verwendete Methode, den Laserarbeitspunkt über zugrunde liegende Modenkarten einzustellen, hat den gravierenden Nachteil, dass solche Modenkarten in der Regel nicht unter dynamischen Modulationsbedingungen vermessen wurden. Gerade im dynamischen Fall sind diese Karten empfindlich abhängig gegenüber Veränderungen durch Zyklieren und Degradieren des Lasers. Etalons (Etalonsignale) sind bezüglich der Abstimmcharakteristik nicht zuverlässig genug und von daher für eine wünschenswerte Automatisierung nicht ausreichen. Modensprünge oder schwache Rückkopplungseffekte lassen sich im Interferogramm nicht ohne weiteres identifiziert. Eine erweiterte Analyse der Störungen dieser Interferogramme im Zeit-Frequenzbereich mittels einer AOK(Adaptive Optimal Kernel)-Transformation erwies sich speziell bei Signalen mit wenigen Perioden als deutlich aussagekräftiger. Mittels optischer Homodynmischung wurde die Linienbreite von Bleichalkogenidlasern ermittelt. Bei inkohärenter Überlagerung entspricht die spektrale Verteilung der Mischung der Faltung der ursprünglichen Verteilung mit sich selbst. Der Laser wird dabei nicht abgestimmt, die optische Laufzeitverzögerung wurde mittels integrierter White-Zelle realisiert. Es wurde beobachtet, dass je nach Grad des Rauschens des Injektionsstroms, das Linienbreitenprofil von Lorentz nach Gauß überging. Mit einem externen CO2-Laser als lokalen Oszillator wurden Heterodynmessungen durchgeführt. Die Linienbreite eines CO2-Lasers ist mit wenigen kHz im Vergleich zu derjenigen eines Bleichalkogenidlasers vernachlässigbar und die Überlagerung erfolgt absolut inkohärent. Gemessen wurden spektrale Verteilungen mit typischem Lorentzprofil von 10 MHz bis zu 100 MHz und darüber hinaus. Auffällig waren häufig symmetrische Nebenpeaks, die in den Bereichen der Seitenflanken des Lorentzprofils auftraten. Anhand einer numerischen Simulation eines Modells einer Laserdiode, basierend auf Ratengleichungen mit für Bleichalkogenidlasern typischen Parameterwerten, konnte verdeutlicht werden, dass sich durch das nichtlineare Lasermodell ausgeprägte Vielfache von Resonanzen bereits im Abstand von 25 MHz ausbilden können. Derartige Resonanzen tauchen im E-Feld-Spektrum als typische Relaxationsoszillationen in den Seitenbändern wieder auf und erklären die in der Messung beobachteten Nebenpeaks innerhalb der spektralen Verteilung. Die Stärke der Seitenbänder ist ein Maß für die Korrelation zwischen Phasen- und Amplitudenfluktuationen. Das Modell für die numerische Berechnung des E-Feldes wurde mit einem thermischen Verhalten erweitert. Eine umfassende Charakterisierungsmethode zur automatisierten Einstellung eines modulierten Lasersystems muss dynamisch und zeitaufgelöst erfolgen. Die Auswertung optischer Mischfrequenzen beschränkt sich dabei nicht mehr auf die direkte Interpretation von einzelnen Spektren, sondern erweitert sich auf die Analyse im Zeit-Frequenzraum. Für eine direkte und schnelle Zeitfrequenztransformation bietet sich ein „Gefensterte Fouriertransformation“ (STFT) an, die sich außerdem relativ einfach in moderne Signalprozessortechnik implementieren lässt. Sie erweist sich als sehr robust und für die hier erforderliche Analyse von Heterodynsignalen als ausreichend. Mit der Festlegung des Analysefensters innerhalb einer STFT ist die Auflösung in Zeit und Frequenz fest definiert. Analysen von Mischsignalen mit einer kontinuierlichen Wavelettransformation haben vergleichsweise gezeigt, dass Details im Zeitfrequenzraum zwar besser herausgearbeitet werden können, jedoch ist der Rechenaufwand durch die variable Skalierung und somit stark redundante Analyse und ihre Darstellung unverhältnismäßig größer. Eine Analyse des Linienbreitenprofils erfolgt dabei über die Entwicklung der Skalierung eines Signals. Die über Heterodynsignale ermittelte effektive Linienbreite bei einer modulierten Abstimmung sollte eher als „dynamische“ oder „intrinsische“ Laserlinienbreite bezeichnet werden. Eine direkte Korrelation der Frequenzvariation des Lasers mit dem Stromrauschen des Injektionsstroms ist offensichtlich. Die wirksame Bandbreite des Stromrauschens wird durch die Systemelektronik einerseits und die Modulationsbandbreite des Lasers andererseits begrenzt. Außer den wichtigen Parametern wie Abstimmung und Linienbreite lassen sich über die dynamische Zeitfrequenzanalyse von Heterodynsignalen darüber hinaus weitere Phänomene wie Rückkopplung, Modenüberlagerung oder Einschwingverhalten aufgrund direkter Kopplung zwischen Intensitäts und Frequenzmodulation beobachten.
Background and Objectives
To analyze the impact of humidity and temperature on excimer laser ablation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and porcine corneal tissue, and an ablation model to compensate for the temperature and humidity changes on ablation efficiency.
Study Design/Materials and Methods
The study was conducted using an AMARIS 1050RS (Schwind eye‐tech‐solutions) placed inside a climate chamber at ACTS. Ablations were performed on PET, PMMA, and porcine cornea. The impact of a wide range of temperature (~18°C to ~30°C) and relative humidity (~25% to ~80%) on laser ablation outcomes was tested using nine climate test settings. For porcine eyes, change in defocus was calculated from the difference of post‐ablation to pre‐ablation average keratometry readings. Laser scanning deflectometry was performed to measure refractive change achieved in PMMA. Multiple linear regression was performed using the least square method with predictive factors: temperature, relative humidity, time stamp. Influence of climate settings was modeled for pulse energy, pulse fluence, ablation efficiency on PMMA and porcine cornea tissue.
Results
Temperature changes did not affect laser pulse energy, pulse fluence (PET), and ablation efficiency (on PMMA or porcine corneal tissue) significantly. Changes in relative humidity were critical and significantly affected laser pulse energy, high fluence and low fluence. The opposite trend was observed between the ablation performance on PMMA and porcine cornea.
Conclusions
The proposed well‐fitting multi‐linear model can be utilized for compensation of temperature and humidity changes on ablation efficiency. Based on this model, a working window for optimum operation has been found (temperature 18°C to 28°C and relative humidity 25% to 65%) for a maximum deviation of ±2.5% in ablation efficiency in PMMA and porcine corneal tissue.
Die vorliegende Arbeit beleuchtet verschiedene Aspekte des Ladungstransports in Heterokontakten aus Normal- (N) und Supraleitern (S) im Rahmen des Bogoliubov-de Gennes-Formalismus. Dabei ist der bestimmende Prozeß die Andreev-Streuung: die Streuung von Elektronen in Löcher, bzw. umgekehrt, an räumlichen Variationen des supraleitenden Paarpotentials unter Erzeugung, bzw. Vernichtung, eines Cooperpaares und damit der Induktion eines Suprastroms. Befindet sich ein Supraleiter zwischen zwei normalleitenden Bereichen, so wandelt sich der an der einen NS-Phasengrenze durch Andreev-Streuung induzierte Suprastrom an der anderen NS-Phasengrenze wieder in einen durch Quasiteilchen getragenen Strom um. Diese Umwandlung erfolgt durch den Einfall eines Quasiteilchens, dessen Charakter dem des auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Supraleiters einfallenden Quasiteilchens entgegengerichtet ist, wie anhand von Wellenpaket-Rechnungen explizit gezeigt wird. Ersetzt man den Supraleiter durch einen mesoskopischen SNS-Kontakt, ist die Vielteilchen-Konfiguration in der mittleren N-Schicht phasenkohärent und daher verschieden von den unkorrelierten Quasiteilchen-Anregungen, die die verschobene Fermi-Kugel in den normalleitenden Zuleitungen bilden. Die Josephson-Ströme, die durch die Quasiteilchen in der mittleren N-Schicht getragen werden, werden unter zwei verschiedenen Modellannahmen berechnet: Im einen Fall werden nur Streuzustände als Startzustände betrachtet, im anderen, bei gleichzeitiger Berücksichtigung eines normalstreuenden Potentials, nur gebundene Zustände. Der SNS-Kontakt wird durch eine supraleitend/halbleitende Heterostruktur modelliert, deren Parameter-Werte sich an den Experimenten der Gruppe von Herbert Kroemer in Santa Barbara orientieren. Wenn die supraleitenden Bereiche ohne normalleitende Zuleitungen direkt mit einem Reservoir von Cooperpaaren verbunden sind, fallen nur Quasiteilchen in Streuzuständen aus den supraleitenden Bänken auf die NS-Phasengrenzen des Kontaktes ein. Mit den Normalleiter-Wellenfunktionen, die sich bei Anlegen einer Spannung V aus diesen Startzuständen entwickeln, wird die Josephson-Wechselstromdichte in der Mitte der N-Schicht bei der Temperatur T = 2,2 K berechnet. Die Stromdichte weist spannungsabhängige Oszillationen in der Zeit auf, deren Periode das Inverse der Josephson-Frequenz ist. Alle Stromdichten zeigen bei kleinen Spannungen einen steilen Anstieg ihres Betrages, der durch Quasiteilchen zustandekommt, die durch das elektrische Feld aus dem Kondensat kommend in den Paarpotentialtopf hineingezogen werden und dort bei kleinen Spannungen eine große Zahl von Andreev-Streuungen erfahren, wobei sie bei jedem Elektron-Loch-Zyklus die Ladung 2e durch die N-Schicht transportieren. Im zweiten betrachteten Fall wird unter Berücksichtigung von Normalstreuung der Gesamtzustand des Systems zu jedem Zeitpunkt durch eine Superposition von gebundenen Zuständen ausgedrückt. Die Energie dieser gebundenen Zustände ist abhängig von der Phasendifferenz Phi zwischen den supraleitenden Schichten. Für Werte der Phasendifferenz von ganzzahligen Vielfachen von Pi sind Zustände entgegengerichteter Impulse paarweise entartet. Das normalstreuende Potential mischt diese Zustände, hebt ihre Entartung auf und führt zu Energielücken: Es bilden sich Energiebänder im Phi-Raum, die formal den Bloch-Bändern von Kristallen im Wellenzahlraum entsprechen. Wird eine äußere Spannung angelegt, so ändert sich die Phasendifferenz gemäß der Josephson-Gleichung mit der Zeit und die Quasiteilchen oszillieren in ihren jeweiligen Phi-Bloch-Bändern: Diese Josephson-Bloch-Oszillationen ergeben den "normalen" Josephson-Wechselstrom, der zwischen positiven und negativen Werten schwingt und im zeitlichen Mittel Null ist. Zusätzlich können die Quasiteilchen durch Zener-Tunneln --- wie der analoge Prozeß in der Halbleiterphysik genannt wird --- in höhere Bänder übergehen. Während sich die Richtung der Josephson-Stromdichte zu den Zeiten minimaler Energielücke umkehrt, hat die Zener-Tunnel-Stromdichte nach einem Tunnel-Prozeß das gleiche Vorzeichen, das die Josephson-Stromdichte vor dem Tunnel-Prozeß hatte. Wenn die angelegte Spannung hinreichend groß ist und genügend Quasiteilchen in das höhere Band tunneln, überkompensiert die Zener-Tunnel-Stromdichte in der Halbperiode nach dem Tunnel-Prozeß die Josephson-Stromdichte, und die Gesamtstromdichte schwingt wieder in dieselbe Richtung wie vor dem Zener-Tunneln. Somit hat sich gewissermaßen die Periode halbiert: Die Gesamtstromdichte schwingt mit der doppelten Josephson-Frequenz. Allen untersuchten Aspekten des Ladungstransports durch Heterokontakte aus Normal- und Supraleitern ist eines gemein: Der für ihr Verständnis fundamentale Prozeß ist die Andreev-Streuung.
We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the static spin response in HgTe quantum wells, revealing distinctive behavior for the topologically nontrivial inverted structure. Most strikingly, the q=0 (long-wavelength) spin susceptibility of the undoped topological-insulator system is constant and equal to the value found for the gapless Dirac-like structure, whereas the same quantity shows the typical decrease with increasing band gap in the normal-insulator regime. We discuss ramifications for the ordering of localized magnetic moments present in the quantum well, both in the insulating and electron-doped situations. The spin response of edge states is also considered, and we extract effective Landé g factors for the bulk and edge electrons. The variety of counterintuitive spin-response properties revealed in our study arises from the system’s versatility in accessing situations where the charge-carrier dynamics can be governed by ordinary Schrödinger-type physics; it mimics the behavior of chiral Dirac fermions or reflects the material’s symmetry-protected topological order.
The main goal of this thesis is to elucidate the sense in which recent experimental progress in condensed matter physics, namely the verification of two-dimensional Dirac-like materials and their control in ballistic- as well as hydrodynamic transport experiments enables the observation of a well-known 'high-energy' phenomenon: The parity anomaly of planar quantum electrodynamics (QED\(_{2+1}\)). In a nutshell, the low-energy physics of two-dimensional Quantum Anomalous Hall (QAH) insulators like (Hg,Mn)Te quantum wells or magnetically doped (Bi,Sb)Te thin films can be described by the combined response of two 2+1 space-time dimensional Chern insulators with a linear dispersion in momentum. Due to their Dirac-like spectra, each of those Chern insulators is directly related to the parity anomaly of planar quantum electrodynamics. However, in contrast to a pure QED\(_{2+1}\) system, the Lagrangian of each Chern insulator is described by two different mass terms: A conventional momentum-independent Dirac mass \(m\), as well as a momentum-dependent so-called Newtonian mass term \(B \vert \mathbf{k} \vert^2\). According to the parity anomaly it is not possible to well-define a parity- and U(1) gauge invariant quantum system in 2+1 space-time dimensions. More precisely, starting with a parity symmetric theory at the classical level, insisting on gauge-invariance at the quantum level necessarily induces parity-odd terms in the calculation of the quantum effective action. The role of the Dirac mass term in the calculation of the effective QED\(_{2+1}\) action has been initially studied in Phys. Rev. Lett. 51, 2077 (1983). Even in the presence of a Dirac mass, the associated fermion determinant diverges and lacks gauge invariance. This requires a proper regularization/renormalizaiton scheme and, as such, transfers the peculiarities of the parity anomaly to the massive case.
In the scope of this thesis, we connect the momentum-dependent Newtonian mass term of a Chern insulator to the parity anomaly. In particular, we reveal, that in the calculation of the effective action, before renormalization, the Newtonian mass term acts similarly to a parity-breaking element of a high-energy regularization scheme. This calculation allows us to derive the finite frequency correction to the DC Hall conductivity of a QAH insulator. We derive that the leading order AC correction contains a term proportional to the Chern number. This term originates from the Newtonian mass and can be measured via electrical or via magneto-optical experiments. The Newtonian mass, in particular, significantly changes the resonance structure of the AC Hall conductivity in comparison to pure Dirac systems like graphene.
In addition, we study the effective action of the aforementioned Chern insulators in external out-of-plane magnetic fields. We show that as a consequence of the parity anomaly the QAH phase in (Hg,Mn)Te quantum wells or in magnetically doped (Bi,Sb)Te thin films survives in out-of-plane magnetic fields, violates the Onsager relation, and can therefore be distinguished from a conventional quantum Hall (QH) response. As a smoking-gun of the QAH phase in increasing magnetic fields, we predict a transition from a quantized Hall plateau with \(\sigma_\mathrm{xy}= -\mathrm{e}^2/\mathrm{h}\) to a not perfectly quantized plateau which is caused by scattering processes between counter-propagating QH and QAH edge states. This transition is expected to be of significant relevance in paramagnetic QAH insulators like (Hg,Mn)Te/CdTe quantum wells, in which the exchange interaction competes against the out-of-plane magnetic field.
All of the aforementioned results do not incorporate finite temperature effects. In order to shed light on such phenomena, we further analyze the finite temperature Hall response of 2+1 dimensional Chern insulators under the combined influence of a chemical potential and an out-of-plane magnetic field. As we have mentioned above, this non-dissipative transport coefficient is directly related to the parity anomaly of planar quantum electrodynamics. Within the scope of our analysis we show that the parity anomaly itself is not renormalized by finite temperature effects. However, the parity anomaly induces two terms of different physical origin in the effective Chern-Simons action of a QAH insulator, which are directly proportional to its Hall conductivity. The first term is temperature and chemical potential independent and solely encodes the intrinsic topological response. The second term specifies the non-topological thermal response of conduction- and valence band modes, respectively. We show that the relativistic mass \(m\) of a Chern insulator counteracts finite temperature effects, whereas its non-relativistic Newtonian mass \(B \vert \mathbf{k} \vert^2 \) enhances these corrections. In addition, we are extending our associated analysis to finite out-of-plane magnetic fields, and relate the thermal response of a Chern insulator therein to the spectral asymmetry, which is a measure of the parity anomaly in out-of-plane magnetic fields.
In the second part of this thesis, we study the hydrodynamic properties of two-dimensional electron systems with a broken time-reversal and parity symmetry. Within this analysis we are mainly focusing on the non-dissipative transport features originating from a peculiar hydrodynamic transport coefficient: The Hall viscosity \(\eta_\mathrm{H}\). In out-of-plane magnetic fields, the Hall viscous force directly competes with the Lorentz force, as both mechanisms contribute to the overall Hall voltage. In our theoretical considerations, we present a way of uniquely distinguishing these two contributions in a two-dimensional channel geometry by calculating their functional dependencies on all external parameters. We are in particular deriving that the ratio of the Hall viscous contribution to the Lorentz force contribution is negative and that its absolute value decreases with an increasing width, slip-length and carrier density. Instead, it increases with the electron-electron mean free path in the channel geometry considered. We show that in typical materials such as GaAs the Hall viscous contribution can dominate the Lorentz signal up to a few tens of millitesla until the total Hall voltage vanishes and eventually is exceeded by the Lorentz contribution. Last but not least, we derive that the total Hall electric field has a parabolic form originating from Lorentz effects. Most remarkably, the offset of this parabola is directly characterized by the Hall viscosity. Therefore, in summary, our results pave the way to measure and to identify the Hall viscosity via both global and local measurements of the entire Hall voltage.
At the present day the idea of cosmological inflation constitutes an important extension of Big Bang theory. Since its appearance in the early 1980’s many physical mechanisms have been worked out that put the inflationary expansion of space that proceeds the Hot Big Bang on a sound theoretical basis. Among the achievements of the theory of inflation are the explanaition of the almost Euclidean geometry of ‘visible’space, the homogeneity of the cosmic background radiation but, in particular, also the tiny inhomogeneity of a relative amplitude of 10−5. In many models of inflation the inflationary phase ends only locally. Hence, there exists the possibility that the inflationary process still goes on in regions beyond our visual horizon. This property is commonly termed ‘eternal inflation’. In the framework of a cosmological scalar fields, eternal inflation can manifest itself in a variety of ways. On the one hand fluctuations of the field, if sufficiently large, can work against the classical trajectory and therefore counteract the end of inflation. In regions where this is the case the accelerated expansion of space continues at a higher rate. In parts of this region the process may replicate itself again and in this way may continue throughout all of time. Space and field are said to reproduce themselves. On the other hand, a mechanism that can occur in addition or independent of the latter, is so called vacuum tunneling. If the potential of the scalar field has several local minima, a semi-classical calculation suggests that within a spherical region, a bubble, the field can tunnel to another state. The respective tunneling rates depend on the potential difference and the shape of the potential between the states. Generally, the tunneling rate is exponentially suppressed, which means that the inflation lasts for a long time before tunneling takes place. The ongoing inflationary process effectively reduces local curvature, anistotropy and inhomogeneity, so that this property is known as the ‘cosmic no-hair conjecture’. For this reason cosmological considerations of the evolution of bubbles thus far almost entirely involved vacuum (de Sitter) backgrounds. However, new insights in the framework of string theory suggest high tunneling rates which allow for the possibility of bubble nucleation in non-vacuum dominated backgrounds. In this case the evolution of the bubble depends on the properties of the background spacetime. A deeper introduction in chapter 4 is followed by the presentation of the Lemaître-Tolman spacetime in chapter 5 which constitutes the background spacetime in the study of the effect of matter and inhomogeneity on the evolution of vacuum bubbles. In chapter 6 we explicitly describe the application of the ‘thin-shell’ formalism and the resulting system of equations. This is succeeded in chapter 7 by the detailed analysis of bubble evolution in various limits of the Lemaître-Tolman spacetime and a Robertson-Walker spacetime with a rapid phase transition. The central observations are that the presence of dust, at a fixed surface energy density, goes along with a smaller nucleation volume and possibly leads to a a collapse of the bubble. In an expanding background, the radially inhomogeneous dust profile is efficiently diluted so that there is essentially no effect on the evolution of the domain wall. This changes in a radially inhomogeneous curvature profile, positive curvature decelerates the expansion of the bubble. Moreover, we point out that the adopted approach does not allow for a treatment of a, physically expected, matter transfer so that the results are to be understood as preliminary under this caveat. In the second part of this thesis we consider potential observable consequences of bubble collisions in the cosmic microwave background radiation. The topological nature of the signal suggests the use of statistics that are well suited to quantify the morphological properties of the temperature fluctuations. In chapter 10 we present Minkowski Functionals (MFs) that exactly provide such statistics. The presented error analysis allows for a higher precision of numerical MFs in comparison to earlier methods. In chapter 12 we present the application of our algorithm to a Gaussian and a collision map. We motivate the expected MFs and extract their numerical counterparts. We find that our least-squares fitting procedure accurately reproduces an underlying signal only when a large number of realizations of maps are averaged over, while for a single WMAP and PLANCK resolution map, only when a highly prominent disk, with |δT| = 2√σG and ϑd = 40◦, we are able to recover the result. This is unfortunate, as it means that MF are intrinsically too noisy to be able to distinguish cold and hot spots in the CMB for small sizes.
The quest for finding a unifying theory for both quantum theory and gravity lies at the heart of much of the research in high energy physics. Although recent years have witnessed spectacular experimental confirmation of our expectations from Quantum Field Theory and General Relativity, the question of unification remains as a major open problem. In this context, the perturbative aspects of quantum black holes represent arguably the best of our knowledge of how to proceed in this pursue.
In this thesis we investigate certain aspects of quantum gravity in 2 + 1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space (AdS3), and its connection to Conformal field theories in 1 + 1 dimensions (CFT2), via the AdS/CFT correspondence.
We study the thermodynamics properties of higher spin black holes. By focusing on the spin-4 case, we show that black holes carrying higher spin charges display a rich phase diagram in the grand canonical ensemble, including phase transitions of the Hawking-Page type, first order inter-black hole transitions, and a second order critical point.
We investigate recent proposals on the connection between bulk codimension-1 volumes and computational complexity in the CFT. Using Tensor Networks we provide concrete evidence of why these bulk volumes are related to the number of gates in a quantum circuit, and exhibit their topological properties. We provide a novel formula to compute this complexity directly in terms of entanglement entropies, using techniques from Kinematic space.
We then move in a slightly different direction, and study the quantum properties of black holes via de Functional Renormalisation Group prescription coming from Asymptotic safety. We avoid the arbitrary scale setting by restricting to a narrower window in parameter space, where only Newton’s coupling and the cosmological constant are allowed to vary. By one assumption on the properties of Newton’s coupling, we find black hole solutions explicitly. We explore their thermodynamical properties, and discover that very large black holes exhibit very unusual features.
The thesis deals with the automated generation and efficient evaluation of scattering amplitudes in general relativistic quantum field theories at one-loop order in perturbation theory. At the
present time we lack signals beyond the Standard Model which, in the past, have guided the
high-energy physics community, and ultimately led to the discovery of new physics phenomena.
In the future, precision tests could acquire this guiding role by systematically probing the Standard Model and constraining Beyond the Standard Model theories. As current experimental
constraints strongly favour Standard Model-like theories, only small deviations with respect to the Standard Model are expected which need to be studied in detail. The required precision
demands one-loop corrections in all future analyses, ideally in a fully automated way, allowing
to test a variety of observables in different models and in an effective field theory approach.
In the process of achieving this goal we have developed an enhanced version of the tool
Recola and on this basis the generalization Recola2. These tools represent fully automated
tree- and one-loop-amplitude providers for the Standard Model, or in the case of Recola2
for general models. Concerning the algorithm, we use a purely numerical and fully recursive
approach allowing for extreme calculations of yet unmatched complexity. Recola has led to the first computation involving 9-point functions. Beyond the Standard Model theories and Effective Field theories are integrated into the Recola2 framework as model files. Renormalized model files are produced with the newly developed tool Rept1l, which can perform the renormalization in a fully automated way, starting from nothing but Feynman rules. In view of validation, we have extended Recola2 to new gauges such as the Background-Field Method and the class of Rxi gauges. In particular, the Background-Field Method formulation for new theories serves as an automated validation, and is very useful in practical calculations and the formulation of renormalization conditions. We have applied the system to produce the first results for Higgs-boson production in Higgs strahlung and vector-boson fusion in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model and the Higgs-Singlet Extension of the Standard Model. All in all, we have laid the foundation for an automated generation and computation of one-loop amplitudes within a large class of phenomenologically interesting theories. Furthermore, we enable the use of our system via a very flexible and dynamic control which does not require any intermediate intervention.
Since the genesis of condensed matter physics, strongly correlated fermionic systems have shown a variety of fascinating properties and remain a vital topic in the field.
Such systems arise through electronic interaction, and despite decades of intensive research, no holistic approach to solving this problem has been found.
During that time, physicists have compiled a wealth of individual experimental and theoretical results, which together give an invaluable insight into these materials, and, in some instances, can explain correlated phenomena.
However, there are several systems that stubbornly refuse to fall completely in line with current theoretical descriptions, among them the high-\( T_c{}\) cuprates and heavy fermion compounds.
Although the two material classes have been around for the better part of the last 50 years, large portions of their respective phase diagram are still under intensive debate.
Recent experiments in several electron-doped cuprates compounds, e.g. neodymium cerium copper oxide (Nd\(_{2x}\)Ce\(_x\)CuO\(_4\)), reveal a charge ordering about an antiferromagnetic ground state.
So far, it has not been conclusively clarified how this intertwining of charge and spin polarization comes about and how it can be reconciled with a rigorous theoretical description.
The heavy-fermion semimetals, on the other hand, have enjoyed renewed scientific interest with the discovery of topological Kondo insulators, a new material class offering a unique interface of topology, symmetry breaking, and correlated phenomena. In this context, samarium hexaboride (SmB\(_6\)) has emerged as a prototypical system, which may feature a topological ground state.
In this thesis, we present a spin rotational invariant auxiliary particle approach to investigate the propensities of interacting electrons towards forming new states of order.
In particular, we study the onset of spin and charge order in high-\( T_c{}\) cuprate systems and Kondo lattices, as well as the interplay of magnetism and topology.
To that end, we use a sophisticated mean-field approximation of bosonic auxiliary particles augmented by a stability analysis of the saddle point via Gaussian fluctuations.
The latter enables the derivation of dynamic susceptibilities, which describe the response of the system under external fields and offer a direct comparison to experiments.
Both the mean-field and fluctuation formalisms require a numerical tool that is capable of extremizing the saddle point equations, on the one hand, and reliably solving a loop integral of the susceptibility-type, on the other.
A full, from scratch derivation of the formalism tailored towards a software implementation, is provided and pedagogically reviewed.
The auxiliary particle method allows for a rigorous description of incommensurate magnetic order and compares well to other established numerical and analytical techniques.
Within our analysis, we employ the two-dimensional one-band Hubbard as well as the periodic Anderson model as minimal Hamiltonians for the high-\( T_c{}\) cuprates and Kondo systems, respectively.
For the former, we observe a regime of intertwined charge- and spin-order in the electron-doped regime, which matches recent experimental observations in the cuprate material Nd\(_{2x}\)Ce\(_x\)CuO\(_4\).
Furthermore, we localize the emergence of a Kondo regime in the periodic Anderson model and establish the magnetic phase diagram of the two-band model for topological Kondo insulators.
The emerging antiferromagnetic ground state can be characterized by its topological properties and shows, for a non-trivial phase, topologically protected hinge modes.
Im Rahmen eines selbst-konsistenten Outer-Gap-Modells der Pulsar-Magnetosphäre wurde die elektromagnetische sehr hochenergetische Strahlung des Crab-Pulsars simuliert. Dies wurde parallel anhand zweier verschiedener Fälle getan, die sich in den angenommenen Gleichungen für die elektrische Feldstärke und für den Krümmungsradius der magnetischen Feldlinien unterscheiden. Die Kinetik der geladenen Teilchen bei ihrer Propagation durch die Outer Gap wurde unter Einbeziehung von Krümmungsstrahlung, inverser Compton-Streuung und Triple Paarbildung betrachtet. Das theoretisch simulierte Spektrum wird mit von Fermi-LAT und von den MAGIC Teleskopen gemessenen Daten verglichen.
