Influence of the single-particle Zeeman energy on the quantum Hall ferromagnet at high filling factors
In a recent paper [B. A. Piot et al., Phys. Rev. B 72, 245325 (2005)], we
have shown that the lifting of the electron spin degeneracy in the integer
quantum Hall effect at high filling factors should be interpreted as a
magnetic-field-induced Stoner transition. In this work, we extend the analysis
to investigate the influence of the single-particle Zeeman energy on the
quantum Hall ferromagnet at high filling factors. The single-particle Zeeman
energy is tuned through the application of an additional in-plane magnetic
field. Both the evolution of the spin polarization of the system and the
critical magnetic field for spin splitting are well described as a function of
the tilt angle of the sample in the magnetic field.Comment: Published in Phys. Rev.
Evidence for magnetoplasmon character of the cyclotron resonance response of a two-dimensional electron gas
Experimental results on the absolute magneto-transmission of a series of high
density, high mobility GaAs quantum wells are compared with the predictions of
a recent magnetoplasmon theory for values of the filling factor above 2. We
show that the magnetoplasmon picture can explain the non-linear features
observed in the magnetic field evolution of the cyclotron resonance energies
and of the absorption oscillator strength. This provides experimental evidence
that inter Landau level excitations probed by infrared spectroscopy need to be
considered as many body excitations in terms of magnetoplasmons: this is
especially true when interpreting the oscillator strengths of the cyclotron
transitions
Frohlich mass in GaAs-based structures
The Frohlich interaction is one of the main electron-phonon intrinsic
interactions in polar materials originating from the coupling of one itinerant
electron with the macroscopic electric field generated by any longitudinal
optical (LO) phonon. Infra-red magneto-absorption measurements of doped GaAs
quantum wells structures have been carried out in order to test the concept of
Frohlich interaction and polaron mass in such systems. These new experimental
results lead to question the validity of this concept in a real system.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Quantized Dispersion of Two-Dimensional Magnetoplasmons Detected by Photoconductivity Spectroscopy
We find that the long-wavelength magnetoplasmon, resistively detected by
photoconductivity spectroscopy in high-mobility two-dimensional electron
systems, deviates from its well-known semiclassical nature as uncovered in
conventional absorption experiments. A clear filling-factor dependent
plateau-type dispersion is observed that reveals a so far unknown relation
between the magnetoplasmon and the quantum Hall effect.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
The German Young Geoscientists Group – promoting exchange and information among the next generation of geoscientists
The group „Young geoscientists” of the Senate Commission for Joint Geoscientific Research (Geokommisson, www.geokommission.de) of the German Research Foundation (DFG), is dedicated towards the development of the working environment, workforce and scientific outcome of the next generation of geoscientists in Germany.Geoscientific research – basic as, well as applied – provides crucial contributions for mastering the economic, environmental and societal challenges of the near and medium-term future. Politics and society call for immediate answers, while geoscientific phenomena are complex and act on a large range of temporal and spatial scales.These demands, together with increases mobility requirements, lead to increasing pressure especially on young geoscientists. In this situation the main goals of the group “Young geoscientists” are:Promotion of networking among young geoscientistsInformation about science policy developments, funding opportunities and other relevant mattersRepresenting the interests of young scientists towards (science)-policy makersThe dynamic development of geoscientific research, particularly collaborations across traditional disciplines, as well as in increasing demands from public and policy, calls for a continuous integration of young scientists. We promote this process by organizing round-table discussions, e.g. on “Guaranteeing good scientific praxis” or on “Hot topics and research funding”, by communicating information via the internet and by identifying structural deficiencies that might hinder the advancement of the geosciences and reporting them to decision makers. In this context, we are looking for:European or international collaboratorsYoung geoscientists wishing to participate in / contribute to our activitiesSuggestions on how to improve working conditions of the young and advancing geoscientists</ul
Magneto infra-red absorption in high electronic density GaAs quantum wells
Magneto infra-red absorption measurements have been performed in a highly
doped GaAs quantum well which has been lifted off and bonded to a silicon
substrate, in order to study the resonant polaron interaction. It is found that
the pinning of the cyclotron energy occurs at an energy close to that of the
transverse optical phonon of GaAs. This unexpected result is explained by a
model taking into account the full dielectric constant of the quantum well.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev. Let
The Small-x Behaviour of the Singlet Polarized Structure Function g_2 in the Double Logarithmic Approximation
The small-x behavior of the singlet contributions to the polarized structure
function g_2(x,Q^2) is calculated in the double-logarithmic approximation of
perturbative QCD. The dominant contribution is due to the gluons which, in
contrast to the unpolarized case, mix with the fermions also in the small-x
domain. We find a power-like growth in 1/x in the odd-signature parts of the
amplitude with the same power as in the singlet function g_1(x,Q^2) at x<< 1.Comment: 20 pages, latex, 3 ps figure
Test of OPE and OGE through mixing angles of negative parity N* resonances in electromagnetic transitions
In this report, by using the mixing angles of one-gluon-exchange model(OGE)
and one-pion-exchange model(OPE), and by using the electromagnetic Hamiltonian
of Close and Li, we calculate the amplitudes of L=1 N* resonances for
photoproduction and electroproduction. The results are compared to experimental
data. It's found that the data support OGE, not OPE.Comment: 5 pages, Latex, 1 figure, accepted by Phys.Rev.
