    Observation of Aharonov-Bohm conductance oscillations in a graphene ring

    No full text
    We investigate experimentally transport through ring-shaped devices etched in graphene and observe clear Aharonov-Bohm conductance oscillations. The temperature dependence of the oscillation amplitude indicates that below 1 K, the phase coherence length is comparable to or larger than the size of the ring. An increase in the amplitude is observed at high magnetic field, when the cyclotron diameter becomes comparable to the width of the arms of the ring. By measuring the dependence on gate voltage, we find that the Aharonov-Bohm effect vanishes at the charge neutrality point, and we observe an unexpected linear dependence of the oscillation amplitude on the ring conductance.Kavli Institute of NanoscienceApplied Science

    Muerte de amor

    En cierta medida este programa puede ser una extensión de la entrevista concedida al Pentagrama por el director del Teatro Mayor, Ramiro Osorio, pero es inevitable pasar por alto que en este momento está ocurriendo el estreno de Tristán e Isolda de Richard Wagner, que nació el mismo año de Giuseppe Verdi, es decir, 1913, en Leipzig, la ciudad de Johann Sebastian Bach. Es sin duda la ópera que más repercusión ha tenido en la historia del drama lírico y en la música, porque Wagner llevó la tonalidad a su límite, el Acorde de Tristán es el más famoso de la historia de la música, y han corrido ríos de tinta por cuenta de la audacia wagneriana, que, como lo han consignado los tratadistas de la historia de la música, abrió las puertas a la música moderna. El Preludio, expone de manera magistral la propuesta armónica de Wagner. Lo escuchan en una interpretación, en vivo, del Festival de Bayreuth 1966, desde luego con la Orquesta del Festival y la dirección de Karl Bohm. Estructura con habilidad extraordinaria, los siete temas, o leitmotivs,(palabra que, por cierto, jamás fue utilizada por Wagner) más importantes de la obra.Conversión utilizando Windows Media Playe

    The Aharonov-Bohm effect in topological semiconductor materials analyzed from the Dirac-Weyl equation

    No full text
    figuras, gráficas, ilustracionesEl presente trabajo aborda dos tópicos centrales: el primero es el estudio de los potenciales en la física desde una perspectiva de revisión de literatura con el fin de intentar encontrar una relación entre el efecto Aharonov-Bohm, la topología del espacio y los potenciales físicos. El segundo es el análisis teórico del grafeno en una estructura semiconductora de punto cuántico, para su estudio se realiza el análisis del hamiltoniano de Dirac-Weyl en coordenadas cilíndricas; en primera instancia se considera el sistema sin presencia de potencial reproduciendo y ampliando los resultados obtenidos por los investigadores Serrano, Avalos y Cabrera en su artículo titulado “Enhancing the energy spectrum of graphene quantum dot with external magnetic and Aharonov-Bohm flux fields”, y posteriormente se propone el análisis de los niveles de energía del sistema al someterlo a una diferencia de potencial V_0. La solución de los niveles de energía y la ecuación de onda se hallan empleando el método fórmula, un método de solución de ecuaciones diferenciales de segundo orden que consiste en determinar coeficientes por medio de la comparación con la ecuación patrón; la fiabilidad y precisión se corrobora al solucionar la función de onda y los niveles de energía con el método WKB y comparar los resultados. Por último, se observa que los niveles de energía en presencia de un potencial V_0 aumentan y disminuyen la separación entre cada nivel, además la presencia del flujo Aharonov-Bohm en el sistema influye en la diferencia de cada nivel de energía. (Texto tomado de la fuente)The present work addresses two central topics: the first is the study of potentials in physics from a literature review perspective in order to try to find a relationship between the Aharonov-Bohm effect, the topology of space and physical potentials. The second is the theoretical analysis of graphene in a semiconductor quantum dot structure. For its study, the Dirac-Weyl Hamiltonian analysis is carried out in cylindrical coordinates; In the first instance, the system without the presence of potential is considered, reproducing and expanding the results obtained by researchers Serrano, Avalos and Cabrera in their article entitled “Enhancing the energy spectrum of graphene quantum dot with external magnetic and Aharonov-Bohm flux fields”, and later, the analysis of the energy levels of the system is proposed by subjecting it to a potential difference V_0. The solution of the energy levels and the wave function are found using the formula method, a method of solving second-order differential equations that consists in determining coefficients by means of comparison with the standard equation; Reliability and accuracy is confirmed by solving the wave function and energy levels with the WKB method and comparing the results. Finally, it is observed that the energy levels in the presence of a potential V_0 increase and the separation between each one decreases, in addition the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm flow in the system influences the difference of each energy level.MaestríaMagister en Ciencias - FísicaMecánica CuánticaMateria Condensad

    High order approximation of a tokamak edge plasma transport minimal model with Bohm boundary conditions

    No full text
    International audienceTo address the so-called Bohm boundary conditions, generally imposed at the walls that intercept in a tokamak the magnetic field lines, we consider a simple one-dimensional hyperbolic system that constitutes a minimal transport model for ionic density and momentum. We show that as soon as the solution is smooth, a spectrally accurate approximation can be obtained. To this end, we describe a stabilized spectral element method (SEM) and propose a direct imposition of the Bohm boundary condition in an explicit time marching

    Aharonov-Bohm–Type Effect for Vortices in Josephson-Junction Arrays

    No full text
    The dynamics of a single vortex present in a ring-shaped (Corbino geometry) two-dimensional array of low-capacity Josephson junctions is studied. The vortex is treated as a macroscopic quantum particle, whose energy levels En(Q0) are periodic functions of the externally induced gauge charge Q0 which is enclosed by the vortex, with a period 2e. This Aharonov-Bohm–type effect may manifest itself as a persistent voltage Vs = dE0(Q0)/dQ0 between interior and exterior contacts, or alternatively as Bloch oscillations. The relation with the Aharonov-Casher effect and the possibility for experimental observation are discussed.

    Spectral sum rules for the circular Aharonov-Bohm quantum billiard

    No full text
    This work presents the results of a quantitative investigation of the “sum rule method” recently proposed by the author for calculating low-lying energy levels. The system considered in detail is the circular Aharonov-Bohm quantum billiard recently introduced by Berry and Robnik. Exact, expressions are derived for the spectral zeta function at positiveinteger values as a function of the magnetic flux. Using the zeta function for fixed angular momentum, we observe a very fast convergence to the exact ground state energy (“precocious convergence”)

    Nonlinear Bloch wave dynamics in photonic Aharonov–Bohm cages

    No full text
    We study the properties of nonlinear Bloch waves in a diamond chain waveguide lattice in the presence of a synthetic magnetic flux. In the linear limit, the lattice exhibits a completely flat (wavevector k-independent) band structure, resulting in perfect wave localization, known as Aharonov-Bohm caging. We find that in the presence of nonlinearity, the Bloch waves become sensitive to k, exhibiting bifurcations and instabilities. Performing numerical beam propagation simulations using the tight-binding model, we show how the instabilities can result in either the spontaneous or controlled formation of localized modes, which are immobile and remain pinned in place due to the synthetic magnetic flux. © 2021 Author(s
