Field Theory of Linear Spin-Waves in Finite Textured Ferromagnets
Thierry Valet, Kei Yamamoto, Benjamin Pigeau +2
In the context of an ever-expanding experimental and theoretical interest in the magnetization dynamics of mesoscopic magnetic structures, both in the classical and quantum regimes…
The Orbital Angular Momentum of Azimuthal Spin-Waves
Thierry Valet, Kei Yamamoto, Benjamin Pigeau +2
In the context of a growing interdisciplinary interest in the angular momentum of wave fields, the spin-wave case has yet to be fully explored, with the extensively studied notion…
Inducing micromechanical motion by optical excitation of a single quantum dot
Jan Kettler, Nitika Vaish, Laure Mercier de Lépinay +11
Hybrid quantum optomechanical systems offer an interface between a single two-level system and a macroscopical mechanical degree of freedom. In this work, we build a hybrid system…
Ultrasensitive nano-optomechanical force sensor at dilution temperatures
Francesco Fogliano, Benjamin Besga, Antoine Reigue +7
Cooling down nanomechanical force probes is a generic strategy to enhance their sensitivities through the concomitant reduction of their thermal noise and mechanical damping rates.…
Eigenmode orthogonality breaking and deviation from the fluctuation dissipation relation in rotationally dressed nanomechanical oscillators
Laure Mercier de Lépinay, Benjamin Pigeau, Benjamin Besga +1
The ultimate sensitivities achieved in force or mass sensing are limited by the employed nanomechanical probes thermal noise. Its proper understanding is critical for ultimate oper…
Universal Vectorial and Ultrasensitive Nanomechanical Force Field Sensor
Laure Mercier de Lépinay, Benjamin Pigeau, Benjamin Besga +3
Miniaturization of force probes into nanomechanical oscillators enables ultrasensitive investigations of forces on dimensions smaller than their characteristic length scale. Meanwh…
Deviation from the normal mode expansion in a coupled graphene-nanomechanical system
Cornelia Schwarz, Benjamin Pigeau, Laure Mercier de Lépinay +6
We optomechanically measure the vibrations of a nanomechanical system made of a graphene membrane suspended on a silicon nitride nanoresonator. When probing the thermal noise of th…
