The heat capacity $C_{p}$ of an array of independent aluminum rings has been measured under an external magnetic field $vec{H}$ using highly sensitive ac-calorimetry based on a silicon membrane sensor. Each superconducting vortex entrance induces a phase transition and a heat capacity jump and hence $C_{p}$ oscillates with $vec{H}$. This oscillatory and non-stationary behaviour measured versus the magnetic field has been studied using the Wigner-Ville distribution (a time-frequency representation). It is found that the periodicity of the heat capacity oscillations varies significantly with the magnetic field; the evolution of the period also depends on the sweeping direction of the field. This can be attributed to a different behavior between expulsion and penetration of vortices into the rings. A variation of more than 15% of the periodicity of the heat capacity jumps is observed as the magnetic field is varied. A description of this phenomenon is given using an analytical solution of the Ginzburg-Landau equations of superconductivity.

The photoluminescence spectra of spherical CdTe nanocrystals with zincblende structure are studied by size-selective spectroscopic techniques. We observe a resonant Stokes shift of 15 meV when the excitation laser energy is tuned to the red side of t he absorption band at 2.236 eV. The experimental data are analyzed within a symmetry-based tight-binding theory of the exciton spectrum, which is first shown to account for the size dependence of the fundamental gap reported previously in the literature. The theoretical Stokes shift presented as a function of the gap shows a good agreement with the experimental data, indicating that the measured Stokes shift indeed arises from the electron-hole exchange interaction.
We report $^{77}$Se NMR data in the normal and superconducting states of a single crystal of FeSe for several different field orientations. The Knight shift is suppressed in the superconducting state for in-plane fields, but does not vanish at zero t emperature. For fields oriented out of the plane, little or no reduction is observed below $T_c$. These results reflect spin-singlet pairing emerging from a nematic state with large orbital susceptibility and spin-orbit coupling. The spectra and spin-relaxation rate data reveal electronic inhomogeneity that is enhanced in the superconducting state, possibly arising from enhanced density of states in the vortex cores. Despite the spin polarization of these states, there is no evidence for antiferromagnetic fluctuations.

In terms of lattice dynamics theory, we study the vibrational properties of the oxygen-functionalized single wall carbon nanotubes (O-SWCNs). Due to the C-O and O-O interactions, many degenerate phonon modes are split and even some new phonon modes a re obtained, different from the bare SWCNs. A distinct Raman shift is found in both the radial breathing mode and G modes, depending not only on the tube diameter and chirality but also on oxygen coverage and adsorption configurations. With the oxygen coverage increasing, interesting, a nonmonotonic up- and down-shift is observed in G modes, which is contributed to the competition between the bond expansion and contraction, there coexisting in the functionalized carbon nanotube.

By considering analytical expressions for the self-energies of intervalley and intravalley phonons in graphene, we describe the behavior of D, 2D, and D$$ Raman bands with changes in doping ($mu$) and light excitation energy ($E_L$). Comparing the se lf-energy with the observed $mu$ dependence of the 2D bandwidth, we estimate the wavevector $q$ of the constituent intervalley phonon at $hbar vqsimeq E_L/1.6$ ($v$ is electrons Fermi velocity) and conclude that the self-energy makes a major contribution (60%) to the dispersive behavior of the D and 2D bands. The estimation of $q$ is based on an image of shifted Dirac cones in which the resonance decay of a phonon satisfying $q > omega/v$ ($omega$ is the phonon frequency) into an electron-hole pair is suppressed when $mu < (vq-omega)/2$. We highlight the fact that the decay of an intervalley (and intravalley longitudinal optical) phonon with $q=omega/v$ is strongly suppressed by electron-phonon coupling at an arbitrary $mu$. This feature is in contrast to the divergent behavior of an intravalley transverse optical phonon, which bears a close similarity to the polarization function relevant to plasmons.
The quantum corrections to the frequencies of the $Gamma$ point longitudinal optical (LO) and transverse optical (TO) phonon modes in carbon nanotubes are investigated theoretically. The frequency shift and broadening of the TO phonon mode strongly d epend on the curvature effect due to a special electron-phonon coupling in carbon nanotubes, which is shown by the Fermi energy dependence of the frequency shift for different nanotube chiralities. It is also shown that the TO mode near the $Gamma$ point decouples from electrons due to local gauge symmetry and that a phonon mixing between LO and TO modes is absent due to time-reversal symmetry. Some comparison between theory and experiment is presented.
