Enhanced Raman scattering of graphene using double resonance in silicon photonic crystal nanocavities

We demonstrate enhancements of Raman scattering from graphene on two-dimensional photonic crystals using double resonances, which originate from simultaneous enhancements by a localized guided mode and a cavity mode. By adjusting the photonic crystal cavity parameters, the double resonance can be tuned to the G' Raman scattering. Excitation wavelength dependence measurements show a large Raman peak enhancement when the excitation and emission wavelengths meet the double resonance condition. Furthermore, spatial imaging measurements are performed to confirm that the enhancement is localized at the cavity, and we find that the enhanced Raman intensity is 60 times larger compared to the on-substrate Raman signal. The observed cavity enhancement of Raman scattering opens up new possibilities for the development of graphene-based light sources for silicon photonics.

Roberge-Weiss phase transitions and extended Z3 symmetry

Using the Polyakov extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model with imaginary chemical potential, the relation between the Roberge-Weiss (RW) phase transition and the extended Z3 symmetry is studied. At low temperature, there is approximate continuous symmetry under the phase transformation of the Polyakov loop with the shift of the imaginary chemical potential. Due to this continuous symmetry, the Polyakov loop can oscillate smoothly as the imaginary chemical potential increases. At high temperature, this continuous symmetry is broken to an exact discrete symmetry, the extended Z3 symmetry, and the Polyakov loop can not oscillate smoothly. This symmetry breaking of the continuous symmetry causes a discontinuity of the Polyakov loop. That is the RW phase transition.

Auxiliary Field Meson Model at Finite Temperature and Density

Starting from many quark interactions, we construct a nonlinear sigma-omega model at finite temperature and density. The mesons are introduced as auxiliary fields. Effective quark-meson couplings are strongly related to effective meson masses, since they are derived simultaneously from the original many quark interactions. In this model, even if the effective omega-meson mass decreases due to the partial chiral restoration, the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter can become soft.
