Spin flips of electron beams in optical near fields
Deng Pan, Hongxing Xu
Manipulating the spin polarization of electron beams using light is highly desirable but exceedingly challenging, as the approaches proposed in previous studies using free-space li…
Anomalous thermodiffusion of electrons in graphene
Deng Pan, Hongxing Xu, F. Javier García de Abajo
We reveal a dramatic departure of electron thermodiffusion in solids relative to the commonly accepted picture of the ideal free-electron gas model. In particular, we show that the…
Rotational Doppler cooling and heating
Deng Pan, Hongxing Xu, F. Javier García de Abajo
Doppler cooling is a widely used technique to laser cool atoms and nanoparticles exploiting the Doppler shift involved in translational transformations. The rotational Doppler effe…
Emergence of material momentum in optical media
Deng Pan, Hongxing Xu, F Javier García de Abajo
Understanding the momentum of light when propagating through optical media is not only fundamental for studies as varied as classical electrodynamics and polaritonics in condensed…
Circular Dichroism in Rotating Particles
Deng Pan, Hongxing Xu, F. Javier García de Abajo
Light interaction with rotating nanostructures gives rise to phenemona as varied as optical torques and quantum friction. Here we reveal that circular dichroism of rotating optical…
Magnetically Activated Rotational Vacuum Friction
Deng Pan, Hongxing Xu, F. Javier García de Abajo
We predict the existence of a torque acting on an isotropic neutral nanosphere activated by a static magnetic field when the particle temperature differs from the surrounding vacuu…
