Wachstum und Charakterisierung von Quantenpunkt-Mikrotürmchen mit adiabatischer Modenanpassung
(2013)
Verschiedene Konzepte zur Realisierung einer geeigneten Umgebung für Licht-
Materie-Wechselwirkung konkurrieren um Anerkennung und eine ständige Optimierung
der Systemparameter findet statt. Das Konzept von Mikrotürmchen scheint
prädestiniert, da es viele anwendungsfreundliche Eigenschaften in sich vereint. Allerdings
stellt die drastische Abnahme des Q Faktors für kleiner werdende Durchmesser
d einen wesentlichen Limitierungsfaktor dieser Strukturen dar. Für viele Anwendungen
resultiert daraus ein Kompromiss aus hohem Q Faktor und kleinem
Modenvolumen der Strukturen, wodurch das volle Potential des Resonatorsystems
nicht ausgeschöpft werden kann. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die drastische Abnahme
des Q Faktors von Mikrotürmchen mit Durchmessern um 1μm aufzuheben und
dadurch Resonatoren mit d < 1μm für ausgeprägte Licht-Materie-Wechselwirkung
herzustellen.
Dazu wurde erstmalig beabsichtigt eine Modenanpassung in Mikrotürmchen vorgenommen.
Mittels Molekularstrahlepitaxie konnte eine Übergangsregion, bestehend
aus drei Segmenten, in diese Strukturen implementiert und so ein adiabatischer
Modenübergang zwischen der aktiven Mittelschicht und den Spiegelbereichen
vorgenommen werden. Der positive Einfluss dadurch ergab sich in einer signifikanten
Verbesserung des gemessenen Q Faktors für Durchmesser unter 1μm.
Für d = 0.85μm konnte ein Q Faktor von 14 400 bestimmt werden. Dies stellt damit
den höchsten je gemessenen Wert für Mikrotürmchen im Submikrometerbereich
dar. Dadurch wird ein Bereich mit Modenvolumina < 3 kubischen Wellenlängen erschlossen und ausgeprägte Wechselwirkungseffekte im Mikrotürmchensystem sind zu erwarten. Starke
Quantenpunkt-Licht-Kopplung konnte in diesen Strukturen nachgewiesen werden.
Die höchste Vakuum-Rabiaufspaltung betrug 85μeV und die Visibilität wurde zu
0.41 bestimmt. Im Zuge der weiteren Optimierung der Systemparameter für die starke
Kopplung wurde ein ex-situ Ausheilschritt auf die verwendete Quantenpunktsorte
angewendet. In magnetooptischen Untersuchungen konnte damit eine Verdopplung
der mittleren Oszillatorstärke auf einen Wert von 12 abgeschätzt werden.
Weiter konnte in adiabatischen Mikrotürmchen über einen großen Durchmesserbereich
von 2.25 bis 0.95μm eindeutiger Laserbetrieb des Quantenpunktensembles
nachgewiesen werden. Dabei konnte eine kontinuierliche Reduzierung der Laserschwelle
von über zwei Größenordnungen für kleiner werdende Durchmesser beobachtet
werden. Für Durchmesser < 1.6μm betrug der Beta-Faktor der Mikrolaser in
etwa 0.5. Sie zeigten damit beinahe schwellenloses Verhalten.
Zuletzt wurde der elektrische Betrieb von adiabatischen Mikrotürmchen gezeigt. Dafür
wurde eine dotierte Struktur mit adiabatischem Design hergestellt. Im Vergleich
zur undotierten Struktur fielen die gemessenen Q Faktoren in etwa um 5 000 geringer
aus. Die spektralen Eigenschaften sowohl des Resonators als auch einzelner
Quantenpunktlinien zeigten vernachlässigbare Abhängigkeit der Anregungsart (optisch
oder elektrisch) und zeugen von einem erfolgreichen Konzept zum elektrischen
Betrieb der Bauteile. Zeitaufgelöste Messungen erlaubten die Beobachtung von interessanten
Dynamiken der Rekombination von Ladungsträgern in den Proben. Als
Ursache dafür wurde ein hohes intrinsisches Feld, welches auf Grund des Designs
der Schichtstruktur entsteht, identifiziert. Weiter zeigte sich, dass sich das interne
Feld durch Anregungsart und extern angelegte Spannungen manipulieren lässt.
Despite its history of more than one hundred years, the phenomenon of
superconductivity has not lost any of its allure. During that time the concept
and perception of the superconducting state - both from an experimental and
theoretical point of view - has evolved in way that has
triggered increasing interest. What was initially believed to simply be the
disappearance of electrical resistivity, turned out to be a universal and
inevitable result of quantum statistics, characterized by many more
aspects apart from its zero resistivity. The insights of
BCS-theory eventually helped to uncover its deep connection to particle physics
and consequently led to the formulation of the Anderson-Higgs-mechanism. The
very core of this theory is the concept of gauge symmetry (breaking). Within the
framework of condensed-matter theory, gauge invariance is only one of several
symmetry groups which are crucial for the description and classification of
superconducting states. \\
In this thesis, we employ time-reversal, inversion, point group and spin
symmetries to investigate and derive possible Hamiltonians featuring spin-orbit
interaction in two and three spatial dimensions.
In particular, this thesis aims at a generalization of existing numerical
concepts to open up the path to spin-orbit coupled (non)centrosymmetric
superconductors in multi-orbital models.
This is done in a two-fold way: On the one hand, we formulate - based on the
Kohn-Luttinger effect - the perturbative renormalization group in the
weak-coupling limit. On the other hand, we define the spinful flow equations of
the effective action in the framework of functional renormalization, which is
valid for finite interaction strength as well. Both perturbative and functional
renormalization groups produce a low-energy effective (spinful) theory that
eventually gives rise to a particular superconducting state, which is investigated
on the level of the irreducible two-particle vertex. The symbiotic relationship
between both perturbative and functional renormalization can be traced back to
the fact that, while the perturbative renormalization at infinitesimal coupling
is only capable of dealing with the Cooper instability, the functional
renormalization can investigate a plethora of instabilities both in the
particle-particle and particle-hole channels. \\
Time-reversal and inversion are the two key symmetries, which are being used to
discriminate between two scenarios. If both time-reversal and inversion symmetry
are present, the Fermi surface will be two-fold degenerate and characterized by a
pseudospin degree of freedom. In contrast, if inversion symmetry is broken, the
Fermi surface will be spin-split and labeled by helicity. In both cases, we
construct the symmetry allowed states in the particle-particle as well as the
particle-hole channel. The methods presented are formally unified and implemented
in a modern object-oriented reusable and extendable C++ code.
This methodological implementation is employed to one member of both families of
pseudospin and helicity characterized systems. For the pseudospin case, we choose
the intriguing matter of strontium ruthenate, which has been heavily
investigated for already twenty-four years, but still keeps puzzling researchers.
Finally, as the helicity based application, we consider the oxide heterostructure
LaAlO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$, which became famous for its highly mobile two-
dimensional electron gas and is suspected to host topological superconductivity.
We develop the formalism of holographic renormalization to compute two-point functions in a holographic Kondo model. The model describes a (0 + 1)-dimensional impurity spin of a gauged SU(N ) interacting with a (1 + 1)-dimensional, large-N , strongly-coupled Conformal Field Theory (CFT). We describe the impurity using Abrikosov pseudo-fermions, and define an SU(N )-invariant scalar operator O built from a pseudo-fermion and a CFT fermion. At large N the Kondo interaction is of the form O\(^{†}\)O, which is marginally relevant, and generates a Renormalization Group (RG) flow at the impurity. A second-order mean-field phase transition occurs in which O condenses below a critical temperature, leading to the Kondo effect, including screening of the impurity. Via holography, the phase transition is dual to holographic superconductivity in (1 + 1)-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space. At all temperatures, spectral functions of O exhibit a Fano resonance, characteristic of a continuum of states interacting with an isolated resonance. In contrast to Fano resonances observed for example in quantum dots, our continuum and resonance arise from a (0 + 1)-dimensional UV fixed point and RG flow, respectively. In the low-temperature phase, the resonance comes from a pole in the Green’s function of the form −i〈O〉\(^{2}\), which is characteristic of a Kondo resonance.
Practical quantum communication between remote quantum memories rely on single photons at telecom wavelengths. Although spin-photon entanglement has been demonstrated in atomic and solid-state qubit systems, the produced single photons at short wavelengths and with polarization encoding are not suitable for long-distance communication, because they suffer from high propagation loss and depolarization in optical fibres. Establishing entanglement between remote quantum nodes would further require the photons generated from separate nodes to be indistinguishable. Here, we report the observation of correlations between a quantum-dot spin and a telecom single photon across a 2-km fibre channel based on time-bin encoding and background-free frequency downconversion. The downconverted photon at telecom wavelengths exhibits two-photon interference with another photon from an independent source, achieving a mean wavepacket overlap of greater than 0.89 despite their original wavelength mismatch (900 and 911 nm). The quantum-networking operations that we demonstrate will enable practical communication between solid-state spin qubits across long distances.
The paper presents studies of Bose–Einstein Correlations (BEC) for pairs of like-sign charged particles measured in the kinematic range p\(_{T}\) > 100 MeV and |η| < 2.5 in proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 0.9 and 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The integrated luminosities are approximately 7 μb\(^{−1}\), 190 μb\(^{−1}\) and 12.4 nb\(^{−1}\) for 0.9 TeV, 7 TeV minimum-bias and 7 TeV high-multiplicity data samples, respectively. The multiplicity dependence of the BEC parameters characterizing the correlation strength and the correlation source size are investigated for charged-particle multiplicities of up to 240. A saturation effect in the multiplicity dependence of the correlation source size parameter is observed using the high-multiplicity 7 TeV data sample. The dependence of the BEC parameters on the average transverse momentum of the particle pair is also investigated.
Explaining the baryon asymmetry of the Universe has been a long-standing problem of particle physics, with the consensus being that new physics is required as the Standard Model (SM) cannot resolve this issue. Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios would need to incorporate new sources of \(CP\) violation and either introduce new departures from thermal equilibrium or modify the existing electroweak phase transition. In this thesis, we explore two approaches to baryogenesis, i.e. the generation of this asymmetry.
In the first approach, we study the two-particle irreducible (2PI) formalism as a means to investigate non-equilibrium phenomena. After arriving at the renormalised equations of motions (EOMs) to describe the dynamics of a phase transition, we discuss the techniques required to obtain the various counterterms in an on-shell scheme. To this end, we consider three truncations up to two-loop order of the 2PI effective action: the Hartree approximation, the scalar sunset approximation and the fermionic sunset approximation. We then reconsider the renormalisation procedure in an \(\overline{\text{MS}}\) scheme to evaluate the 2PI effective potential for the aforementioned truncations. In the Hartree and the scalar sunset approximations, we obtain analytic expressions for the various counterterms and subsequently calculate the effective potential by piecing together the finite contributions. For the fermionic sunset approximation, we obtain similar equations for the counterterms in terms of divergent parts of loop integrals. However, these integrals cannot be expressed in an analytic form, making it impossible to evaluate the 2PI effective potential with the fermionic contribution. Our main results are thus related to the renormalisation programme in the 2PI formalism: \( (i) \)the procedure to obtain the renormalised EOMs, now including fermions, which serve as the starting point for the transport equations for electroweak baryogenesis and \( (ii) \) the method to obtain the 2PI effective potential in a transparent manner.
In the second approach, we study baryogenesis via leptogenesis. Here, an asymmetry in the lepton sector is generated, which is then converted into the baryon asymmetry via the sphaleron process in the SM. We proceed to consider an extension of the SM along the lines of a scotogenic framework. The newly introduced particles are charged odd under a \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) symmetry, and masses for the SM neutrinos are generated radiatively. The \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) symmetry results in the lightest BSM particle being stable, allowing for a suitable dark matter (DM) candidate. Furthermore, the newly introduced heavy Majorana fermionic singlets provide the necessary sources of \(CP\) violation through their Yukawa interactions and their out-of-equilibrium decays produce a lepton asymmetry. This model is constrained from a wide range of observables, such as consistency with neutrino oscillation data, limits on branching ratios of charged lepton flavour violating decays, electroweak observables and obtaining the observed DM relic density. We study leptogenesis in this model in light of the results of a Markov chain Monte Carlo scan, implemented in consideration of the aforementioned constraints. Successful leptogenesis in this model, to account for the baryon asymmetry, then severely constrains the available parameter space.
The top-quark mass is measured in the all-hadronic top-antitop quark decay channel using proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of \(\sqrt{s}=8\) TeV with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The data set used in the analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb\(^{−1}\). The large multi-jet background is modelled using a data-driven method. The top-quark mass is obtained from template fits to the ratio of the three-jet to the dijet mass. The three-jet mass is obtained from the three jets assigned to the top quark decay. From these three jets the dijet mass is obtained using the two jets assigned to the W boson decay. The top-quark mass is measured to be 173.72 ± 0.55 (stat.) ± 1.01 (syst.) GeV.
A measurement of B\(^0_s\)→J/ψϕ decay parameters, including the CP -violating weak phase ϕ\(_s\) and the decay width difference ΔΓ\(_s\) is reported, using 4.9 fb\(^{−1}\) of integrated luminosity collected in 2011 by the ATLAS detector from LHC pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy √s=7 TeV. The mean decay width Γ\(_s\) and the transversity amplitudes |A\(_0\)(0)|\(^2\) and |A\(_∥\)(0)|\(^2\) are also measured. The values reported for these parameters are:
ϕ\(_s\)=0.22±0.41 (stat.)±0.10 (syst.) rad
ΔΓ\(_s\)=0.053±0.021 (stat.)±0.010 (syst.)ps\(^{−1}\)
Γ\(_s\)=0.677±0.007 (stat.)±0.004 (syst.) ps\(^{−1}\)
|A\(_0\)(0)|\(^2\)=0.528±0.006 (stat.)±0.009 (syst.)
|A\(_∥\)(0)|\(^2\)=0.220±0.008 (stat.)±0.007 (syst.)
where the values quoted for ϕ\(_s\) and ΔΓ\(_s\) correspond to the solution compatible with the external measurements to which the strong phase δ\(_⊥\) is constrained and where ΔΓ\(_s\) is constrained to be positive. The fraction of S-wave KK or f\(_0\) contamination through the decays B\(^0_s\)→J/ψK\(^+\)K\(^−\)(f\(_0\)) is measured as well and is found to be consistent with zero. Results for ϕ\(_s\) and ΔΓ\(_s\) are also presented as 68%, 90% and 95% likelihood contours, which show agreement with Standard Model expectations.
Since the prediction of the quantum spin Hall effect in graphene by Kane and Mele, \(Z_2\) topology in hexagonal monolayers is indissociably linked to high-symmetric honeycomb lattices. This thesis breaks with this paradigm by focusing on topological phases in the fundamental two-dimensional hexagonal crystal, the triangular lattice. In contrast to Kane-Mele-type systems, electrons on the triangular lattice profit from a sizable, since local, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and feature a non-trivial ground state only in the presence of inversion symmetry breaking. This tends to displace the valence charge form the atomic position. Therefore, all non-trivial phases are real-space obstructed. Inspired by the contemporary conception of topological classification of electronic systems, a comprehensive lattice and band symmetry analysis of insulating phases of a \(p\)-shell on the triangular lattice is presented. This reveals not only the mechanism at the origin of band topology, the competition of SOC and symmetry breaking, but sheds also light on the electric polarization arising from a displacement of the valence charge centers from the nuclei, i. e., real-space obstruction. In particular, the competition of SOC versus horizontal and vertical reflection symmetry breaking gives rise to four topologically distinct insulating phases: two kinds of quantum spin Hall insulators (QSHI), an atomic insulator and a real-space obstructed higher-order topological insulator. The theoretical analysis is complemented with state-of-the-art first principles calculations and experiments on trigonal monolayer adsorbate systems. This comprises the recently discovered triangular QSHI indenene, formed by In atoms, and focuses on its topological classification and real-space obstruction. The analysis reveals Kane-Mele-type valence bands which profit from the atomic SOC of the triangular lattice. The realization of a HOTI is proposed by reducing SOC by considering lighter adsorbates. Further the orbital Rashba effect is analyzed in AgTe, a consequence of mirror symmetry breaking, the formation of local angular momentum polarization and SOC. As an outlook beyond topology, the Fermi surface and electronic susceptibility of Group V adsorbates on silicon carbide are investigated.
In summary, this thesis elucidates the interplay of symmetry breaking and SOC on the triangular lattice, which can promote non-trivial insulating phase.
This Thesis explores hybrid structures on the basis of quantum spin Hall insulators, and in particular the interplay of their edge states and superconducting and magnetic order. Quantum spin Hall insulators are one example of topological condensed matter systems, where the topology of the bulk bands is the key for the understanding of their physical properties. A remarkable consequence is the appearance of states at the boundary of the system, a phenomenon coined bulk-boundary correspondence. In the case of the two-dimensional quantum spin Hall insulator, this is manifested by so-called helical edge states of counter-propagating electrons with opposite spins. They hold great promise, \emph{e.g.}, for applications in spintronics -- a paradigm for the transmission and manipulation of information based on spin instead of charge -- and as a basis for quantum computers. The beginning of the Thesis consists of an introduction to one-dimensional topological superconductors, which illustrates basic concepts and ideas. In particular, this includes the topological distinction of phases and the accompanying appearance of Majorana modes at their ends. Owing to their topological origin, Majorana modes potentially are essential building-blocks for topological quantum computation, since they can be exploited for protected operations on quantum bits. The helical edge states of quantum spin Hall insulators in conjunction with $s$-wave superconductivity and magnetism are a suitable candidate for the realization of a one-dimensional topological superconductor. Consequently, this Thesis investigates the conditions in which Majorana modes can appear. Typically, this happens between regions subjected to either only superconductivity, or to both superconductivity and magnetism. If more than one superconductor is present, the phase difference is of paramount importance, and can even be used to manipulate and move Majorana modes. Furthermore, the Thesis addresses the effects of the helical edge states on the anomalous correlation functions characterizing proximity-induced superconductivity. It is found that helicity and magnetism profoundly enrich their physical structure and lead to unconventional, exotic pairing amplitudes. Strikingly, the nonlocal correlation functions can be connected to the Majorana bound states within the system. Finally, a possible thermoelectric device on the basis of hybrid systems at the quantum spin Hall edge is discussed. It utilizes the peculiar properties of the proximity-induced superconductivity in order to create spin-polarized Cooper pairs from a temperature bias. Cooper pairs with finite net spin are the cornerstone of superconducting spintronics and offer tremendous potential for efficient information technologies.
