Neutral modes edge state dynamics through quantum point contacts
Dario Ferraro, Alessandro Braggio, Nicodemo Magnoli +1
Dynamics of neutral modes for fractional quantum Hall states is investigated for a quantum point contact geometry in the weak-backscattering regime. The effective field theory intr…
Photon-number statistics with Silicon photomultipliers
Marco Ramilli, Alessia Allevi, Valery Chmill +3
We present a description of the operation of a multi-pixel detector in the presence of non-negligible dark-count and cross-talk effects. We apply the model to devise self-consisten…
Non-Gaussian states by conditional measurements
Marco G. Genoni, Federica A. Beduini, Alessia Allevi +3
We address realistic schemes for the generation of non-Gaussian states of light based on conditional intensity measurements performed on correlated bipartite states. We consider bo…
Exchange bias driven by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and ferroelectric polarization at G-type antiferromagnetic perovskite interfaces
Shuai Dong, Kunihiko Yamauchi, Seiji Yunoki +6
Exchange bias is usually rationalized invoking spin pinning effects caused by uncompensated antiferromagnetic interfaces. However, for compensated antiferromagnets other extrinsic…
Theoretical prediction of multiferroicity in double perovskite YNiMnO
Sanjeev Kumar, Gianluca Giovannetti, Jeroen van den Brink +1
We put forward double perovskites of the RNiMnO family (with a rare-earth atom) as a new class of multiferroics on the basis of {\it ab initio} density functional calcu…
First-principles study of the dipole layer formation at metal-organic interfaces
Paul C. Rusu, Gianluca Giovannetti, Christ Weijtens +2
We study the dipole layer formed at metal-organic interfaces by means of first-principles calculations. Interface dipoles are monitored by calculating the work function change of A…
Non-gaussian effects in the cage dynamics of polymers
A. Ottochian, C. De Michele, D. Leporini
The correlation between the fast cage dynamics and structural relaxation is investigated in a model polymer system. It is shown that the cage vibration amplitude, as expressed by t…
Magnetic anisotropy in Li-phosphates and origin of magnetoelectricity in LiNiPO4
Kunihiko Yamauchi, Silvia Picozzi
Li-based phosphates are paradigmatic materials for magnetoelectricity. By means of first-principles calculations, we elucidate the microscopic origin of spin anisotropy and of magn…
Evidence for multiferroicity in TTF-CA organic molecular crystals
Gianluca Giovannetti, Sanjeev Kumar, Alessandro Stroppa +2
We show by means of ab-initio calculations that the organic molecular crystal TTF-CA is multiferroic: it has an instability to develop spontaneously both ferroelectric and magnetic…
Multiferroicity in rare-earth nickelates RNiO3
Gianluca Giovannetti, Sanjeev Kumar, Daniel Khomskii +2
We show that charge ordered rare-earth nickelates of the type RNiO3 (R= Ho, Lu, Pr and Nd) are multiferroic with very large magnetically induced ferroelectric (FE) polarizations. T…
When finite-size corrections vanish: The S=1/2 XXZ model and the Razumov-Stroganov state
Leonardo Banchi, Filippo Colomo, Paola Verrucchi
We study the one-dimensional XXZ model on a finite lattice at zero temperature, varying the exchange anisotropy and the number of sites of the lattice. Special emph…
Ferroelectricity in multiferroic magnetite Fe3O4 driven by noncentrosymmetric Fe2+/Fe3+ charge-ordering: First-principles study
Kunihiko Yamauchi, Tetsuya Fukushima, Silvia Picozzi
By means of first-principles simulations, we unambiguously show that improper ferroelectricity in magnetite in the low-temperature insulating phase is driven by charge-ordering. An…
First-principles design of nanomachines
Jayanth R. Banavar, Marek Cieplak, Trinh Xuan Hoang +1
Learning from nature's amazing molecular machines, globular proteins, we present a framework for the predictive design of nano-machines. We show that the crucial ingredients for a…
First Principles Studies of Multiferroic Materials
Silvia Picozzi, Claude Ederer
Multiferroics, materials where spontaneous long-range magnetic and dipolar orders coexist, represent an attractive class of compounds, which combine rich and fascinating fundamenta…
Signatures of the super fluid-insulator phase transition in laser driven dissipative nonlinear cavity arrays
A. Tomadin, V. Giovannetti, R. Fazio +4
We analyze the non-equilibrium dynamics of a gas of interacting photons in an array of coupled dissipative nonlinear cavities driven by a pulsed external coherent field. Using a me…
Non-adiabatic pumping through interacting quantum dots
Fabio Cavaliere, Michele Governale, Jürgen König
We study non-adiabatic two-parameter charge and spin pumping through a single-level quantum dot with Coulomb interaction. For the limit of weak tunnel coupling and in the regime of…
Generalized Pearson distributions for charged particles interacting with an electric and/or a magnetic field
A. Rossani, A. M. Scarfone
The linear Boltzmann equation for elastic and/or inelastic scattering is applied to derive the distribution function of a spatially homogeneous system of charged particles spreadin…
Asymptotic solutions of a nonlinear diffusive equation in the framework of -generalized statistical mechanics
T. Wada, A. M. Scarfone
The asymptotic behavior of a nonlinear diffusive equation obtained in the framework of the -generalized statistical mechanics is studied. The analysis based on the classical Lie…
Identifying essential genes in E. coli from a metabolic optimization principle
C. Martelli, A. De Martino, E. Marinari +2
Understanding the organization of reaction fluxes in cellular metabolism from the stoichiometry and the topology of the underlying biochemical network is a central issue in systems…
Correlations in photon-numbers and integrated intensities in parametric processes involving three optical fields
Jan Perina, Jaromir Krepelka, Maria Bondani +2
Two strongly-pumped parametric interactions are simultaneously realized in a single nonlinear crystal in order to generate three strongly correlated optical fields. By combining to…
