Large Stark Effect for Li Donor Spins in Si

Luke Pendo, E. M. Handberg, V. N. Smelyanskiy +1

We study the effect of a static electric field on lithium donor spins in silicon. The anisotropy of the effective mass leads to the anisotropy of the quadratic Stark susceptibility…

Search for Galactic PeV Gamma Rays with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

IceCube collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, R. Abbasi +274

Gamma-ray induced air showers are notable for their lack of muons, compared to hadronic showers. Hence, air shower arrays with large underground muon detectors can select a sample…

Reentrant Formation of Magnetic Polarons in Quantum Dots

J. M. Pientka, R. Oszwałdowski, A. G. Petukhov +2

We propose a model of magnetic polaron formation in semiconductor quantum dots doped with magnetic ions. A wetting layer serves as a reservoir of photo-generated holes, which can b…

Spin ordering in magnetic quantum dots: From core-halo to Wigner molecules

R. Oszwałdowski, P. Stano, A. G. Petukhov +1

The interplay of confinement and Coulomb interactions in quantum dots can lead to strongly correlated phases differing qualitatively from the Fermi liquid behavior. We explore how…

Cosmic Ray Composition and Energy Spectrum from 1-30 PeV Using the 40-String Configuration of IceTop and IceCube

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +271

The mass composition of high energy cosmic rays depends on their production, acceleration, and propagation. The study of cosmic ray composition can therefore reveal hints of the or…

Reversible tuning of the surface state in a psuedo-binary Bi2(Te-Se)3 topological insulator

Rui Jiang, Lin-Lin Wang, Mianliang Huang +4

We use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study non-trivial surface state in psuedobinary Bi2Se0.6Te2.3 topological insulator. We show that unlike previously studied bina…
