We use microwave induced adiabatic passages for selective spin flips within a string of optically trapped individual neutral Cs atoms. We position-dependently shift the atomic transition frequency with a magnetic field gradient. To flip the…
We report record high Si-29 spin polarization obtained using dynamic nuclear polarization in microcrystalline silicon powder. Unpaired electrons in this silicon powder are due to dangling bonds in the amorphous region of this intrinsically…
Tunable optical delay lines that simultaneously offer nanosecond-scale delay, broadband operation, low dispersion, and compact footprint remain challenging to realize with conventional integrated photonic platforms. Here we demonstrate a…
We report theoretical results predicting the atomic manipulation of a silver atom on a Si(001) surface by a scanning probe tip, and providing insight into the manipulation phenomena. A molecular mechanics technique has been used, the system…
Classical molecular-dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate densification mechanisms in silicon dioxide thin films deposited on an amorphous silica surface, according to a simplified ion-beam assisted deposition (IBAD)…
The possibility of creating crystal bilayers twisted with respect to each other has led to the discovery of a wide range of novel electron correlated phenomena whose full understanding is still under debate. Here we propose and analyze a…
Controlling electron spins strongly coupled to magnetic and nuclear spins in solid state systems is an important challenege in the field of spintronics and quantum computation. We show here that electron droplets with no net spin in…
Scalable spin-based quantum computing demands precise and stable control of a large number of gate-defined quantum dots while minimizing wiring complexity and thermal load. Control architectures based on sample-and-hold (SH) multiplexing…
Superconducting properties of metallic nano-wires may strongly depend on specific experimental conditions. Here we consider a setup where superconducting phase fluctuations are restricted at one point inside the wire and equilibrium…
Nuclear spins in certain solids couple weakly to their environment, making them attractive candidates for quantum information processing and inertial sensing. When coupled to the spin of an optically-active electron, nuclear spins can be…
We study spin control for an electron confined in a flake of silicene. We find that the lowest-energy conduction-band levels are split by the diagonal intrinsic spin-orbit coupling into Kramers doublets with a definite projection of the…
The supercooled liquid silicon, modeled by Stillinger-Weber potential, shows anomalous increase in heat capacity $C_p$, with a maximum $C_p$ value close to 1060 K at zero pressure. We study equilibration and relaxation of the supercooled SW…
On the basis of density functional calculations and using Bader's atom in molecule theory, this article presents quantitative microscopic analyses on the bonding properties of amorphous silicon (a-Si) which could reflect in the observable…
The relative twist angle between layers of near-lattice-matched van der Waals materials is critical for the emergent correlated phenomena associated with moire flat bands. However, the concept of angle rotation control is not exclusive to…
Using a non-contact atomic force microscope (nc-AFM), we examine continuous DB wire structures on the hydrogen-terminated silicon (100) 2x1 surface. By probing the DB structures at varying energies, we identify the formation of previously…
We measure the dissipation and frequency shift of a magnetically coupled cantilever in the vicinity of a silicon chip, down to $25$ mK. The dissipation and frequency shift originates from the interaction with the unpaired electrons,…
From first-principles calculations, we predict that transition metal (TM) atom doped silicon nanowires have a half-metallic ground state. They are insulators for one spin-direction, but show metallic properties for the opposite spin…
Transition metal (TM) defects in silicon carbide have favorable spin coherence properties and are suitable as quantum memory for quantum communication. To characterize TM defects as quantum spin-photon interfaces, we model defects that have…
We demonstrate the existence of atomically-sized topological solitons in a quasi one-dimensional charge density wave system: indium atomic wires on Si(111). Performing joint scanning tunneling microscopy and density-functional calculations,…
The quantum coherence and gate fidelity of electron spin qubits in semiconductors is often limited by noise arising from coupling to a bath of nuclear spins. Isotopic enrichment of spin-zero nuclei such as $^{28}$Si has led to spectacular…
