Phase Stochastic Resonance in a Forced Nanoelectromechanical Membrane

Stochastic resonance is a general phenomenon that can seem paradoxical at first, whereby noise present or injected in a system can enhance the detection of a small signal. It is usually observed in one-dimensional bistable systems subjected to a …

Plasmon fingerprint in Au Nanocrystal assemblies

Hydrophobic Au nanocrystal assemblies (both ordered and amorphous) were dispersed in aqueous solution via the assistance of lipid vesicles. The intertwine between vesicles and Au assemblies was made possible through a careful selection of the length of alkyl chains …

Mapping in real space antiferromagnetic order at nanoscale

Using an artificial atom in diamond as an ultrasensitive magnetic field detector, physicists have for the first time imaged the leakage field radiated by a compound of the vast family of antiferromagnets. This observation allowed them to study the …

Emit light photon by photon

Using an artificial atom capable of blocking or letting the photons of a laser pass by, CNRS researchers, in collaboration with the University of Queensland, have taken an important step towards the development of deterministic quantum optical logic gates. …
