The appearance and evolution of an anomalous conductance plateau at 0.4 (in units of 2e2/h) in an In0.52Al0.48As/InAs quantum point contact (QPC), in the presence of lateral spin-orbit coupling, has been studied at T=4.2K as a function of…
Theoretical predictions suggest the presence of tetrahedral symmetry as an explanation for the vanishing intra-band E2-transitions at the bottom of the odd-spin negative parity band in $^{156}Gd$. The present study reports on experiment…
The coherent state model (CSM) is extended so that three negative parity bands are treated on equal footing with three positive parity bands. The six rotational bands are generated by projecting out angular momenta and parities from three…
A pair of transverse wobbling bands has been observed in the nucleus $^{135}$Pr. The wobbling is characterized by $\Delta I$ =1, E2 transitions between the bands, and a decrease in the wobbling energy confirms its transverse nature.…
We investigate the structures of $^{10}$C focusing on the quadrupole properties in comparison with the mirror nucleus $^{10}$Be. We describe $^{10}$C and $^{10}$Be in the variation of the multiple bases of the antisymmetrized molecular…
A particle-core Hamiltonian is used to describe the lowest parity partner bands $K^{\pi}=1/2^{\pm}$ in $^{219}$Ra, $^{237}$U and $^{239}$Pu, and three parity partner bands, $K^{\pi}=1/2^{\pm}, 3/2^{\pm}, 5/2^{\pm}$, in $^{227}$Ra. The core…

High-spin states in 135Nd were populated with the 110Pd(30Si,5n)135Nd reaction at a 30Si bombarding energy of 133 MeV. Two Delta(I)=1 bands with close excitation energies and the same parity were observed. These bands are directly linked by…

Band inversion, one of the key signatures of time-reversal invariant topological insulators (TIs), arises mostly due to the spin-orbit (SO) coupling. Here, based on ab initio density-functional calculations, we report a theoretical…
Atomic nuclei in general can have deformed shapes and nearly all these shapes are symmetric with respect to reflection. Only a few Actinide nuclei have stable reflection asymmetric pear shapes in their ground state and exhibit…

Chiral four-wave-mixing signals are calculated using the irreducible tensor formalism. Different polarization and crossing angle configurations allow to single out the magnetic dipole and the electric quadrupole interactions. Other…
Interactions between the surface and the bulk in a strong topological insulator (TI) cause a finite lifetime of the topological surface states (TSS) as shown by the recent experiments. On the other hand, interactions also induce unitary…
