On-chip levitation of ferromagnetic microparticles
Martijn Janse, M. Luisa Mattana, Julian van Doorn +4
Levitation of microscopic objects in vacuum combines exceptional environmental isolation with precise control of their dynamics, pushing the limits of sensing and macroscopic quant…
Towards all-optical spin manipulation in single molecules: a refined region for locating a dark resonance
Robert Smit, Boleslaw Kozankiewicz, Michel Orrit
The on-demand manipulation of triplet states in closed-shell single molecules is still out of reach due to a lack of information about the energy of those triplet states. Yet, the…
Superconducting flux concentrator coils for levitation of particles in the Meissner state
Robert Smit, Martijn Janse, Eli van der Bent +5
Magnetic levitation of superconductors is a promising platform to study quantum mechanics in the large-mass limit. One major limitation is the weak trapping potential, which result…
Optical detection of charge defects near a graphene transistor using the Stark shift of fluorescent molecules
Carlotta Ciancico, Iacopo Torre, Bernat Terrés +7
Two-dimensional crystals and their heterostructures unlock access to a class of photonic devices, bringing nanophotonics from the nanometer scale down to the atomic level where qua…
