Under certain conditions, focused laser excitation in semiconductor quantum well structures can lead to charge separation and a circular reaction front, which is visible as a ring-shaped photoluminescence pattern. The diffusion-reaction…
Closed shell molecular structures are under normal conditions time-reversal invariant. Experimental evidences point, however, towards that this invariance may be locally violated when the structure is in contact with a particle reservoir.…

Circularly polarized electromagnetic wave impinging on a conducting ring generates a circulating DC plasmonic current resulting in an Inverse Faraday Effect in nanorings. We show that a large ring with periodically modulated width on a…
Abstract An exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) is induced in a system made of an electron beam interacting with an electromagnetic (EM) guided mode. This enables a degenerate synchronous regime in backward wave oscillators (BWOs) where…

We examine electric response of a linearly polarized light normally shed on a cross-shaped quasi 2-dimensional InGaAs/InAlAs system with structure inversion asymmetry. The photo-excited conduction electrons carry a pure spin current with…
In loop-current states, interacting electronic degrees of freedom collectively establish interatomic currents, in a rare example of magnetism in which spin degrees of freedom do not play the primary role. The main impact of such states on…
