Quasiparticle Andreev scattering in the ν = 1/3 fractional quantum Hall regime

The scattering of exotic quasiparticles may follow different rules than electrons. In the fractional quantum Hall regime, a quantum point contact (QPC) provides a source of quasiparticles with field effect selectable charges and statistics, which can be scattered on …

Quasi-deterministic nanowire growth

The vapor-solid-liquid growth of a semiconductor nanowire proceeds via the sequential nucleation and extension of biatomic monolayers (MLs) at the interface between the nanowire stem and an apical liquid catalyst nanodroplet. Controlling the length of a nanowire section to …

Genetic optimization of Brillouin scattering gain in subwavelength-structured silicon membrane waveguides

On-chip Brillouin optomechanics has great potential for applications in communications, sensing, and quantum technologies. Tight confinement of near-infrared photons and gigahertz phonons in integrated waveguides remains a key challenge to achieving strong on-chip Brillouin gain. Here, we propose a …
