We compare the response of five different models of two interacting electrons in a quantum dot to an external short lived radial excitation that is strong enough to excite the system well beyond the linear response regime. The models considered describe the Coulomb interaction between the electrons in different ways ranging from mean-field approaches to configuration interaction (CI) models, where the two-electron Hamiltonian is diagonalized in a large truncated Fock space. The radially symmetric excitation is selected in order to severely put to test the different approaches to describe the interaction and correlations of an electron system in a nonequilibrium state. As can be expected for the case of only two electrons none of the mean-field models can in full details reproduce the results obtained by the CI model. Nonetheless, some linear and nonlinear characteristics are reproduced reasonably well. All the models show activation of an increasing number of collective modes as the strength of the excitation is increased. By varying slightly the confinement potential of the dot we observe how sensitive the properties of the excitation spectrum are to the Coulomb interaction and its correlation effects. In order to approach closer the question of nonlinearity we solve one of the mean-field models directly in a nonlinear fashion without resorting to iterations.

Emission spectra of quantum dot arrays in zero-dimensional microcavities are studied theoretically, and it is shown that they are determined by the competition between the formation of the collective superradiant mode and inhomogeneous broadening. The random sources method for the calculation of photoluminescence spectra under a non-resonant pumping is developed, and a microscopic justification of the random sources method within a framework of the standard diagram technique is given. The emission spectra of a microcavity are analyzed with allowance for the spread of exciton states energies caused by an inhomogeneous distribution of quantum dots and a tunneling between them. It is demonstrated that in the case of a strong tunneling coupling the luminescence spectra are sensitive to the geometric positions of the dots, and the collective mode can, under certain conditions, be stabilized by the random tunnel junctions.
The large arrays of magnetic dots are the building blocks of magnonic crystals and the emerging bit patterned media for future recording technology. In order to fully utilize the functionalities of high density magnetic nanodots, a method for the selective reversal of a single nanodot in a matrix of dots is desired. We have proposed a method for magnetization reversal of a single nanodot with microwave excitation in a matrix of magneto-statically interacting dots. The method is based on the excitation of collective modes and the spatial anomaly in the microwave power absorption. We perform numerical simulations to demonstrate the possibility of switching a single dot from any initial state of a 3 by 3 matrix of dots, and develop a theoretical model for the phenomena. We discuss the applicability of the proposed method for introducing defect modes in magnonic crystals as well as for future magnetic recording.
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers are interesting materials in part because of their strong spin-orbit coupling. This leads to intrinsic spin-splitting of opposite signs in opposite valleys, so the valleys are intrinsically spin-polarized when hole-doped. We study spin response in a simple model of these materials, with an eye to identifying sharp collective modes (i.e, spin-waves) that are more commonly characteristic of ferromagnets. We demonstrate that such modes exist for arbitrarily weak repulsive interactions, even when they are too weak to induce spontaneous ferromagnetism. The behavior of the spin response is explored for a range of hole dopings and interaction strengths.
We show that the spins of all electrons, each confined in a quantum dot of an (In,Ga)As/GaAs dot ensemble, can be driven into a single mode of precession about a magnetic field. This regime is achieved by allowing only a single mode within the electron spin precession spectrum of the ensemble to be synchronized with a train of periodic optical excitation pulses. Under this condition a nuclei induced frequency focusing leads to a shift of all spin precession frequencies into the synchronized mode. The macroscopic magnetic moment of the electron spins that is created in this regime precesses without dephasing.
We experimentally demonstrate that both quasi-linear and nonlinear self-localized bullet modes of magnetization auto-oscillation can be excited by dc current in the nano-gap spin Hall nano-oscillator, by utilizing the geometry with an extended gap. The quasi-linear mode is stable at low driving currents, while the bullet mode is additionally excited at larger currents, and becomes increasingly dominant with increasing current. Time-resolved measurements show that the formation of the bullet mode is delayed relative to the quasi-linear mode by up to 100 nanoseconds, demonstrating that the mechanisms of the formation of these modes are fundamentally different. We discuss the relationship between the observed behaviors and the formation of an unstable nonlinear magnon condensate.
