We investigate the system constituted by a polarizable atom near a nanosphere under the influence of an external electrostatic field, showing that the attractive dispersive force between them can be overcome by the electrostatic interaction. Therefore, in addition to the advantageous possibility of actively tuning the resultant force with an external agent without the requirement of physical contact, this force may also become repulsive. We analyze this situation in different physical regimes of distance and explore the interaction of different atoms with both metallic and dielectric spheres, discussing which cases are easier to control. Furthermore, our results reveal that these repulsive forces can be achieved with feasible field intensities in the laboratory.

We study the dark excitons behavior as a coherent physical two-level spin system (qubit) using an external magnetic field in the Faraday configuration. Our studies are based on polarization-sensitive intensity autocorrelation measurements of the opti cal transition resulting from the recombination of a spin-blockaded biexciton state, which heralds the dark exciton and its spin state. We demonstrate control over the dark exciton eigenstates without degrading its decoherence time. Our observations agree well with computational predictions based on a master equation model.
Using first-principle calculations, we demonstrate several approaches to manipulate Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction (DMI) in ultrathin magnetic films. First, we find that DMI is significantly enhanced when the ferromagnetic (FM) layer is sandwiched between nonmagnetic (NM) layers inducing additive DMI in NM/FM/NM structures. For instance, as Pt and Ir below Co induce DMI of opposite chirality, inserting Co between Pt (below) and Ir (above) in Ir/Co/Pt trilayers enhances the DMI of Co/Pt bilayers by 15%. Furthermore, in case of Pb/Co/Pt trilayers (Ir/Fe/Co/Pt multilayers), DMI can be enhanced by 50% (almost doubled) compared to Co/Pt bilayers reaching a very large DMI amplitude of 2.7 (3.2) meV/atom. Our second approach for enhancing DMI is to use oxide capping layer. We show that DMI is enhanced by 60% in Oxide/Co/Pt structures compared to Co/Pt bilayers. Moreover, we unveiled the DMI mechanism at Oxide/Co inerface due to interfacial electric field effect, which is different to Fert-Levy DMI at FM/NM interfaces. Finally, we demonstrate that DMI amplitude can be modulated using an electric field with efficiency factor comparable to that of the electric field control of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in transition metal/oxide interfaces. These approaches of DMI controlling pave the way for skyrmions and domain wall motion-based spintronic applications.

We study the geometric and electronic structures of silicene monolayer using density functional theory based calculations. The electronic structures of silicene show that it is a semi-metal and the charge carriers in silicene behave like massless Dir ac-Fermions since it possesses linear dispersion around Dirac point. Our results show that the band gap in silicene monolayer can be opened up at Fermi level due to an external electric field by breaking the inversion symmetry. The presence of buckling in geometric structure of silicene plays an important role in breaking the inversion symmetry. We also show that the band gap varies linearly with the strength of external electric field. Further, the value of band gap can be tuned over a wide range.
In this paper cross-relaxation between nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers and substitutional nitrogen in a diamond crystal was studied. It was demonstrated that optically detected magnetic resonance signals (ODMR) can be used to measure these signals succ essfully. The ODMR were detected at axial magnetic field values around 51.2~mT in a diamond sample with a relatively high (200~ppm) nitrogen concentration. We observed transitions that involve magnetic sublevels that are split by the hyperfine interaction. Microwaves in the frequency ranges from 1.3 GHz to 1.6 GHz ($m_S=0longrightarrow m_S=-1$ NV transitions) and from 4.1 to 4.6 GHz ($m_S=0longrightarrow m_S=+1$ NV transitions) were used. To understand the cross-relaxation process in more detail and, as a result, reproduce measured signals more accurately, a model was developed that describes the microwave-initiated transitions between hyperfine levels of the NV center that are undergoing anti-crossing and are strongly mixed in the applied magnetic field. Additionally, we simulated the extent to which the microwave radiation used to induce ODMR in the NV center also induced transitions in the substitutional nitrogen via cross-relaxation. The improved understanding of the NV processes in the presence of a magnetic field will be useful for designing NV-diamond-based devices for a wide range of applications from implementation of q-bits to hyperpolarization of large molecules to various quantum technological applications such as field sensors.
We consider an optomechanical system comprising a single cavity mode and a dense spectrum of acoustic modes and solve for the quantum dynamics of initial cavity mode Fock (i.e., photon number) superposition states and thermal acoustic states. The opt omechanical interaction results in dephasing without damping and bears some analogy to gravitational decoherence. For a cavity mode locally coupled to a one-dimensional (1D) elastic string-like environment or two-dimensional (2D) elastic membrane-like environment, we find that the dephasing dynamics depends respectively on the string length and membrane area--a consequence of an infrared divergence in the limit of an infinite-sized string or membrane. On the other hand, for a cavity mode locally coupled to a three-dimensional (3D) bulk elastic solid, the dephasing dynamics is independent of the solid volume (i.e., is infrared finite), but dependent on the local geometry of the coupled cavity--a consequence of an ultraviolet divergence in the limit of a pointlike coupled cavity. We consider as possible respective realizations for the cavity-coupled-1D and 2D acoustic environments, an LC oscillator capacitively coupled to a partially metallized strip and a cavity light mode interacting via light pressure with a membrane.
