We have altered the superconductivity of a suspended rope of single walled carbon nanotubes, by coating it with organic polymers. Upon coating, the normal state resistance of the rope changes by less than 20 percent. But superconductivity,…

An influence of the phonon-phonon coupling (PPC) on the $\beta$-decay half-lives and multi-neutron emission probabilities is analysed within the microscopic model based on the Skyrme interaction with tensor components included. The…

Excitonic optical transitions in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively studied for at least two decades. However, exploiting these transitions to produce a lasing effect has been proved unpractical due to the difficulties of…

A nonperturbative theory of multiphonon anharmonic decay of strongly excited local mode is developed whereby the mode is considered classically and phonons, quantum mechanically. The decay rate of the mode is expressed via the negative…

Atomically thin semiconductors exhibit tunable exciton resonances that can be harnessed for dynamic manipulation of visible light in ultra-compact metadevices. However, the rapid nonradiative decay and dephasing of excitons at room…

We have studied the dynamics of electrons in single wall carbon nanotubes using femtosecond time-resolved photoemission. The lifetime of electrons excited to the pi* bands is found to decrease continuously from 130 fs at 0.2 eV down to less…

The anharmonic properties of the low-frequency E2 phonon in ZnO were measured using impulsive stimulated Raman scattering. At 5 K, the frequency and lifetime are (2.9787 +/- 0.0002) THz and (211 +/- 7) ps. The unusually long lifetime and…

Single-molecule chemical reactions with individual single-walled carbon nanotubes were observed through near-infrared photoluminescence microscopy. The emission intensity within distinct submicrometer segments of single nanotubes changes in…

Optical response of finite-length metallic carbon nanotubes is calculated including effects of induced edge charges in a self-consistent manner. The results show that the main resonance corresponding to excitation of the fundamental plasmon…

Electron-phonon and exciton-phonon interactions in nanoclusters are formulated and computed under the framework of GW-BSE (Bethe-Salpeter equation) approach. The phonon effect is modeled with the two-particle representation for the first…

Electron spin relaxation induced by phonon-mediated s-d exchange interaction in a II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum dot is investigated theoretically. The electron-acoustic phonon interaction due to piezoelectric coupling and…

We study theoretically the radiative recombination of excitons in double quantum dots in the presence of carrier-phonon coupling. We show that the phonon-induced pure dephasing effects and transitions between the exciton states strongly…

We probe acoustic phonon mediated relaxation between tunnel coupled exciton states in an individual quantum dot molecule in which the inter-dot quantum coupling and energy separation between exciton states is continuously tuned using static…

Direct measurements of the diffusion length of excitons in air-suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes are reported. Photoluminescence microscopy is used to identify individual nanotubes and to determine their lengths and chiral indices.…

We report the spontaneous decay of a soft, optical phonon in a solid. Using neutron spectroscopy, we find that specific phonon lifetimes in the relaxor PbMg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$O$_{3}$ are anomalously short within well-defined ranges of energy…

The nonmesonic decay of the hypertriton is calculated based on a hypertriton wavefunction and 3N scattering states, which are rigorous solutions of 3-body Faddeev equations using realistic NN and hyperon-nucleon interactions. The…

The electronic structure of finite-length armchair carbon nanotubes has been studied using several ab-initio and semi-empirical quantum computational techniques. The additional confinement of the electrons along the tube axis leads to the…

Linear carbon-based materials such as polyyne and cumulene oligomers provide a versatile platform for nano-physics and engineering. Direct gap quasi-1D polyyne structures are promising for the observation of strong and unusual excitonic…

We investigate the influence of the electron-phonon interaction on the decay dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to an optical microcavity. We show that the electron-phonon interaction has important consequences on the dynamics, especially…

We calculate the exciton binding energy in single-walled carbon nanotubes with narrow band gaps, accounting for the quasi-relativistic dispersion of electrons and holes. Exact analytical solutions of the quantum relativistic two-body…
