Antireflective photonic structure for coherent nonlinear spectroscopy of single magnetic quantum dots
This work presents epitaxial growth and optical spectroscopy of CdTe quantum
dots (QDs) in (Cd,Zn,Mg)Te barriers placed on the top of (Cd,Zn,Mg)Te
distributed Bragg reflector. The formed photonic mode in our half-cavity
structure permits to enhance the local excitation intensity and extraction
efficiency of the QD photoluminescence, while suppressing the reflectance
within the spectral range covering the QD transitions. This allows to perform
coherent, nonlinear, resonant spectroscopy of individual QDs. The coherence
dynamics of a charged exciton is measured via four-wave mixing, with the
estimated dephasing time ps. The same structure contains
QDs doped with single Mn ions, as detected in photoluminescence spectra.
Our work therefore paves the way toward investigating and controlling an
exciton coherence coupled, via ,- exchange interaction, with an
individual spin of a magnetic dopant.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Bilayer graphene inclusions in rotational-stacked multilayer epitaxial graphene
Additional component in multi-layer epitaxial graphene grown on the
C-terminated surface of SiC, which exhibits the characteristic electronic
properties of a AB-stacked graphene bilayer, is identified in magneto-optical
response of this material. We show that these inclusions represent a
well-defined platform for accurate magneto-spectroscopy of unperturbed graphene
bilayers.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.

Response timing in the lunge and target change in elite versus medium-level fencers.
The aim of the present work is to examine the differences between two groups of fencers with different levels of competition, elite and medium level. The timing parameters of the response reaction have been compared together with the kinetic variables which determine the sequence of segmented participation used during the lunge with a change in target during movement. A total of 30 male sword fencers participated, 13 elite and 17 medium level. Two force platforms recorded the horizontal component of the force and the start of the movement. One system filmed the movement in 3D, recording the spatial positions of 11 markers, while another system projected a mobile target over a screen. For synchronisation, an electronic signal enabled all the systems to be started simultaneously. Among the timing parameters of the reaction response, the choice reaction time (CRT) to the target change during the lunge was measured. The results revealed differences between the groups regarding the flight time, horizontal velocity at the end of the acceleration phase, and the length of the lunge, these being higher for the elite group, as well as other variables related to the temporal sequence of movement. No significant differences have been found in the simple reaction time or in CRT. According to the literature, the CRT appears to improve with sports practice, although this factor did not differentiate the elite from medium-level fencers. The coordination of fencing movements, that is, the right technique, constitutes a factor that differentiates elite fencers from medium-level ones
Structure and Morphology of Nitride Coating (TiHfZrVNb)N After Thermal Annealing 600˚C
This study reports the influence of thermal annealing 600 °C on the characteristics of the (Ti-
HfZrVNb)N coatings prepared by vacuum arc melting at different deposition conditions. The crystal structures,
surface’s morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The results
indicate that nitride coatings based on high-entropy alloy TiHfZrVNb have fcc crystal structure. It is
shown that the nitride coatings (TiHfZrVNb)N have a good resistance to oxidation during thermal annealing
600 °C.

Direct measurement of hyperfine shifts and radio frequency manipulation of the nuclear spins in individual CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots
We achieve direct detection of electron hyperfine shifts in individual CdTe / ZnTe quantum dots. For the previously inaccessible regime of strong magnetic fields Bz≳0.1T, we demonstrate robust polarization of a few-hundred-particle nuclear spin bath, with an optical initialization time of ∼1 ms
and polarization lifetime exceeding ∼1s. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of individual dots reveals strong electron-nuclear interactions characterized by Knight fields
|Be|≳50 mT, an order of magnitude stronger than in III–V semiconductor quantum dots. Our studies confirm II–VI semiconductor quantum dots as a promising platform for hybrid electron-nuclear spin qubit registers, combining the excellent optical properties comparable to III–V dots and the dilute nuclear spin environment similar to group-IV semiconductors
