Lightest Kaonic Nuclear Clusters

We present our study of kaonic three-body $\overset{\_}{K}NN$, $\overset{\_}{K}\overset{\_}{K}N$ and $KK\overset{\_}{K}$ and four-body $\overset{\_}{K}% NNN $, $\ $and $\overset{\_}{K}\overset{\_}{K}NN$ clusters within the framework of a potential model using the method of hyperspherical functions in momentum representation. To perform a numerical calculations for the bound state energy of the light kaonic system, we use a set of different potentials for the nucleon-nucleon and $\overset{\_}{K}N$ interactions, as well as for the kaon-kaon interaction. The calculations show that a quasibound state energy is not sensitive to the $NN$ interaction, and it shows very strong dependence on the $\overset{\_}{K}N$ potential. We also compare our results with those obtained using different theoretical approaches. The theoretical discrepancies in the binding energy and width for the lightest kaonic system related to the different $NN$ and $\overset{\_% }{K}N$ interactions are addressed.

Benchmark for a quasi-bound state of the $\overset{\_}{K}pp$ system

We present three-body nonrelativistic calculations within the framework of a potential model for the kaonic cluster ${K^-}pp$ using two completely different methods: the method of hyperspherical harmonics in the momentum representation and the method of Faddeev equations in configuration space. To perform a numerical benchmark, different $NN$ and antikaon-nucleon interactions are applied. The results of the calculations for the ground state energy for the ${K^-}pp$ system obtained by both methods are in reasonable agreement. Although the ground state energy is not sensitive to the $NN$ interaction, it shows very strong dependence on the $\overset{\_}{K}N$ potential. We show that the dominant clustering of the ${K^-}pp$ system in the configuration $Λ(1405)+p$ allows us to calculate the binding energy to good accuracy within a simple cluster approach for the differential Faddeev equations. The theoretical discrepancies in the binding energy and width for the ${K^-}pp$ system related to the different $NN$ and $\overset{\_}{K}N$ interactions are addressed.

Towards room-temperature superfluidity of exciton polaritons in an optical microcavity with an embedded MoS$_2$ monolayer

By considering driven diffusive dynamics of exciton polaritons in an optical microcavity with an embedded molybdenum disulfide monolayer, we determine experimentally relevant range of parameters at which room-temperature superfuidity can be observed. It is shown that the superfluid transitions occurs in a trapped polariton gas at laser pumping power $P>600$ mW and and trapping potential strength $k > 50$ eV/cm$^2$. We also propose a simple analytic model that provides a useful estimate for the polariton gas density, which enables one to determine the conditions for observation of room temperature polariton superfluidity.

High-temperature superfuidity of the two-component Bose gas in a TMDC bilayer

The high-temperature superfluidity of two-dimensional dipolar excitons in two parallel TMDC layers is predicted. We study Bose-Einstein condensation in the two-component system of dipolar A and B excitons. The effective mass, energy spectrum of the collective excitations, the sound velocity and critical temperature are obtained for different TMDC materials. It is shown that in the Bogolubov approximation the sound velocity in the two-component dilute exciton Bose gas is always larger than in any one-component. The difference between the sound velocities for two-component and one-component dilute gases is caused by the fact that the sound velocity for two-component system depends on the reduced mass of A and B excitons, which is always smaller than the individual mass of A or B exciton. Due to this fact, the critical temperature Tc for superfluidity for the two-component exciton system in TMDC bilayer is about one order of magnitude higher than Tc in any one-component exciton system. We propose to observe the superfluidity of two-dimensional dipolar excitons in two parallel TMDC layers, which causes two opposite superconducting currents in each TMDC layer.

Spontaneous formation and non-equilibrium dynamics of a soliton-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate in a trap

The Bose-stimulated self-organization of a quasi-two dimensional non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensate in an in-plane potential is proposed. We obtained the solution of the nonlinear, driven-dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in an external asymmetric parabolic potential within the method of the spectral expansion. We found that, in sharp contrast to previous observations, the condensate can spontaneously acquire a soliton-like shape for spatially homogenous pumping. This condensate soliton performs oscillatory motion in a parabolic trap and, also, can spontaneously rotate. Stability of the condensate soliton in the spatially asymmetric trap is analyzed. In addition to the nonlinear dynamics of non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensates of ultra-cold atoms, our findings can be applied to the condensates of quantum well excitons and cavity polaritons in semiconductor heterostructure, and to the condensates of photons.

Polariton-based optical switch

Based on the studies of propagation of an exciton-polariton condensate in a patterned optical microcavity with an embedded graphene layer, we propose a design of a Y-shaped electrically-controlled optical switch. The polaritons are driven by a time-independent force due to the microcavity wedge shape and by a time-dependent drag force owing to the interaction of excitons in graphene and the electric current running in a neighboring quantum well. It is demonstrated that one can control the polariton flow direction by changing the direction of the electric current. The simulations also show that an external electric field normal to the microcavity plane can be utilized as an additional parameter that controls the propagation of the signals in the switch. By considering the transient dynamics of the polariton condensate, we estimate the response speed of the switch. Finally, we propose a design of the polariton switch in a flat microcavity based on the geometrically identical Y-shaped quantum well and graphene pattern where the polariton flow is only induced by the drag force.

Superfluidity in asymmetric electron-hole systems

The pairing in a system of electrons and holes in two spatially separated parallel planes is studied in the case of electron-hole asymmetry caused by the difference in the carriers masses and their chemical potentials. It is found that the superfluid state is possible in a wide range of the asymmetry parameters, because the asymmetries can effectively compensate each other. It is predicted that the system may exhibit two critical temperatures for some asymmetry parameters. The lower critical temperature corresponds to the superfluid transition induced by thermal fluctuations. In the asymmetric system a coexistence of the normal and superfluid states is possible even at zero temperature.

Effective interaction and condensation of dipolaritons in coupled quantum wells

Dipolaritons are a three-way superposition of photon, a direct exciton, and an indirect exciton that are formed in coupled quantum well microcavities. As is the case with exciton-polaritons, dipolaritons have a self-interaction due to direct and exchange effects of the underlying electrons and holes. Here we present a theoretical description of dipolaritons and derive simple formulas for their basic parameters. In particular, we derive the effective dipolariton-dipolariton interaction taking into account of exchange effects between the excitons. We obtain a simple relation to describe the effective interaction at low densities. We find that dipolaritons should condense under suitable conditions, described by a dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii equation. While the parameters for condensation are promising, we find that the level of tunability of the interactions is limited.

The electron-hole superfluidity in two coaxial nanotubes

The superfluid phase and Coulomb drag effect caused by the pairing in the system of spatially separated electrons and holes in two coaxial cylindrical nanotubes are predicted. It is found that the drag resistance as a function of temperature experiences a jump at the critical temperature and can be used for the manifestation of the superfluid transition. It is demonstrated that at sufficiently low temperatures the order parameter and free energy density exhibit a kink due to the electron-hole asymmetry that is controlled by the radii of the nanotubes.

Phase transitions in the two-dimensional electron-hole gas

A first order phase transition between a BCS phase and an insulating Mott phase for a gas of spatially separated electrons and holes with tunable Coulomb interaction and variable density is predicted. In the framework of a BCS-like mean-field approach and a Landau expansion in terms of the pairing order parameter the phase diagram is studied. This indicates several phases and phase transitions, including an electron-hole plasma at low density and weak interaction, an intermediate BCS phase with Cooper pairs and an electron-hole plasma at high density and weak interaction. The insulating Mott phase appears for the strong interaction and low temperatures. We briefly discuss the possibilities to realize these phases in realistic systems such as coupled quantum wells and graphene double layers.

Graphene nanoribbon based spaser

A novel type of spaser with the net amplification of surface plasmons (SPs) in doped graphene nanoribbon is proposed. The plasmons in THz region can be generated in a dopped graphene nanoribbon due to nonradiative excitation by emitters like two level quantum dots located along a graphene nanoribbon. The minimal population inversion per unit area, needed for the net amplification of SPs in a doped graphene nanoribbon is obtained. The dependence of the minimal population inversion on the surface plasmon wavevector, graphene nanoribbon width, doping and damping parameters necessary for the amplification of surface plasmons in the armchair graphene nanoribbon is studied.

Solar Sail: Materials and Space Environmental Effects

Theoretical aspects of a solar sail material degradation are presented when the solar electromagnetic and corpuscular forms of radiation were considered as sources of degradation. The analysis of the interaction of two components of solar radiation, the electromagnetic radiation and radiation of low- and high-energy electrons, protons, and helium ions emitted by the Sun with the solar-sail materials is discussed. The physical processes of the interactions of photons, electrons, protons and alpha-particles with sail material atoms and nuclei, leading to the degradation and ionization of solar sail materials are analyzed. The dependence of reflectivity and absorption for solar sail materials on temperature and on wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum of solar radiation is investigated. It is shown that the temperature of a solar sail increases approximately as T r^(-2/5), with the decrease of the heliocentric distance r, when are taking into account the temperature dependence of optical parameters of the solar sail material.

Superfluidity and collective properties of excitonic polaritons in gapped graphene in a microcavity

We predict the formation and superfluidity of polaritons in an optical microcavity formed by excitons in gapped graphene embedded there and microcavity photons. The Rabi splitting related to the creation of an exciton in a graphene layer in the presence of the band gap is obtained. The analysis of collective excitations as well as the sound velocity is presented. We show that the superfluid density and temperature of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition are decreasing functions of the energy gap.

Trions in coupled quantum wells and Wigner crystallization

We consider a restricted three body problem, where two interacted particles are located in two dimensional (2D) plane and interact with the third one located in the parallel spatially separated plane. The system of such type can be formed in the semiconductor coupled quantum wells, where the electrons (or holes) and direct excitons spatially separated in different parallel neighboring quantum wells that are sufficiently close to interact and form negative X- or positive X+ indirect trions. It is shown that at large interwell separations, when the interwell separation much greater than the exciton Bohr radius, this problem can be solved analytically using the cluster approach. Analytical results for the energy spectrum and the wave functions of the spatially indirect trion are obtained, their dependence on the interwell separations is analyzed and a conditional probability distribution is calculated. The formation of 2D Wigner crystal of trions at the low densities is predicted. It is shown that the critical density of the formation of the trion Wigner crystal is sufficiently greater than the critical density of the electron Wigner crystal.

Superfluidity of dipole excitons in two layers of gapped graphene

A study of the formation of excitons as a problem of two Dirac particles confined in two-layer graphene sheets separated by a dielectric when gaps are opened and they interact via a Coulomb potential is presented. We propose to observe Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity of quasi-two-dimensional dipole excitons in double layer graphene in the presence of band gaps. The energy spectrum of the collective excitations, the sound spectrum, and the effective exciton mass are functions of the energy gaps, density and interlayer separation. The superfluid density ns and temperature of the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition Tc are decreasing functions of the energy gaps as well as the interlayer separation, and therefore, could be controlled by these parameters.

Graphene-based one-dimensional photonic crystal

A novel type of one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal formed by the array of periodically located stacks of alternating graphene and dielectric stripes embedded into a background dielectric medium is proposed. The wave equation for the electromagnetic wave propagating in such structure solved in the framework of the Kronig-Penney model. The frequency band structure of 1D graphene-based photonic crystal is obtained analytically as a function of the filling factor and the thickness of the dielectric between graphene stripes. The photonic frequency corresponding to the electromagnetic wave localized by the defect of photonic crystal formed by the extra dielectric placed on the place of the stack of alternating graphene and dielectric stripes is obtained.

Introduction to Nonlinear Phenomena in Superfluid Liquids and Bose-Einstein Condensates: Helium, Semiconductors and Graphene

We review current understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of collective quantum systems. We describe an approach based on the Hamiltonian formulation of superfluid hydrodynamics. It is shown that, in the presence of constant energy pumping, the nonlinear coupling of fluctuations in the density and entropy strongly affects the nonequilibrium dynamics of the system. We use the results obtained to analyze the properties of out-of-equilibrium superfluid 4He and of exciton polariton Bose-Einstein condensates, both in semiconductor quantum wells and in graphene layers in presence of high magnetic field.

Graphene-based photonic crystal

A novel type of photonic crystal formed by embedding a periodic array of constituent stacks of alternating graphene and dielectric discs into a background dielectric medium is proposed. The photonic band structure and transmittance of such photonic crystal are calculated. The graphene-based photonic crystals can be used effectively as the frequency filters and waveguides for the far infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum. Due to substantial suppression of absorption of low-frequency radiation in doped graphene the damping and skin effect in the photonic crystal are also suppressed. The advantages of the graphene-based photonic crystal are discussed.
