Nanorod Pair Complexes Manipulated via Magnetic Casimir Forces

S Pal, L. M. Woods, C. Persson +3

Controlling nanoscale interactions to suppress aggregation from short-range attractive forces is a key problem in nanoengineering. Here, we demonstrate a route to modulate Casmir-L…

The Ferroelectric Photo-Groundstate of SrTiO: Cavity Materials Engineering

Simone Latini, Dongbin Shin, Shunsuke A. Sato +4

Optical cavities confine light on a small region in space which can result in a strong coupling of light with materials inside the cavity. This gives rise to new states where quant…

The quantum paraelectric phase of SrTiO from first principles

Dongbin Shin, Simone Latini, Christian Schäfer +4

We demonstrate how the quantum paraelectric ground state of SrTiO can be accessed via a microscopic approach based on density functional theory. At low temperature…

Multiple mobile excitons manifested as sidebands in quasi-one-dimensional metallic TaSe3

Junzhang Ma, Simin Nie, Xin Gui +22

Charge neutrality and their expected itinerant nature makes excitons potential transmitters of information. However, exciton mobility remains inaccessible to traditional optical ex…
