Spin readout via spin-to-charge conversion in bulk diamond nitrogen-vacancy ensembles

Harishankar Jayakumar, Siddharth Dhomkar, Jacob Henshaw +1

We demonstrate optical readout of ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy(NV) center spins in a bulk diamond sample via spin-to-charge conversion. A high power 594 nm laser is utilized to se…

Piecewise-terminated spherical topological insulator as a virtual breadboard for Majorana circuitry

Adam C. Durst, Sriram Ganeshan

We consider the surface states of a spherical topological insulator piecewise-terminated by superconductivity or ferromagnetism over various regions of the spherical surface. Such…

Charge dynamics in near-surface, variable-density ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond

Siddharth Dhomkar, Harishankar Jayakumar, Pablo R. Zangara +1

Although the spin properties of superficial shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers have been the subject of extensive scrutiny, considerably less attention has been devoted to study…

Anisotropic exciton transport in transition-metal dichalcogenides

Areg Ghazaryan, Mohammad Hafezi, Pouyan Ghaemi

Due to the Coulomb interaction exciton eignestates in monolayer transitional metal dichalcogenides are coherent superposition of two valleys. The exciton band which couples to the…

Transport Properties of Near Surface InAs Two-dimensional Heterostructures

Kaushini Wickramasinghe, William Mayer, Joseph Yuan +4

Two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) confined to the surface of narrowband semiconductors have attracted great interest since they can easily integrate with superconductivity (…

Long-range Self-assembly via the Mutual Lorentz Force of Plasmon Radiation

Haojie Ji, Jacob Trevino, Raymond Tu +5

Long-range interactions often proceed as a sequence of hopping through intermediate, statistically-favored events. Here, we identify a widely-overlooked mechanism for the mechanica…

Exceptional points in topological edge spectrum of PT symmetric domain walls

Xiang Ni, Daria Smirnova, Alexander Poddubny +3

We demonstrate that the non-Hermitian parity-time (PT) symmetric interfaces formed between amplifying and lossy crystals support dissipationless edge states. These PT edge states e…

The -matrix for surface boundary states: an application to photoemission for Weyl semimetals

D. Schmeltzer

We present a new theory of photoemission for Weyl semimetals. We derive this theory using a model with a boundary surface at . Due to the boundary, the self adjoint condition…
