    We study the hybrid exciton-polaritons in a bad microcavity containing the organic and inorganic quantum wells. The corresponding polariton states are given. The analytical solution and the numerical result of the stationary spectrum for the cavity field are finishedComment: 3 pages, 1 figure. appear in Communications in Theoretical Physic

    Interface-Controlled Ferroelectricity at the Nanoscale

    Full text link
    Recent experimental results demonstrate that in thin films ferroelectricity persists down to film thickness of a few unit cells. This finding opens an avenue for novel electronic devices based on ultathin ferroelectrics, but also raises questions about factors controlling ferroelectricity and the nature of the ferroelectric state at the nanoscale. Here we report a first-principles study of KNbO3 ferroelectric thin films placed between two metal electrodes, either SrRuO3 or Pt. We show that the bonding at the ferroelectric-metal interface imposes severe constraints on the displacement of atoms, destroying the bulk tetragonal soft mode in thin ferroelectric films. This does not, however, quench local polarization. If the interface bonding is sufficiently strong the ground state represents a ferroelectric double-domain structure, driven by the intrinsic oppositely-oriented dipole moments at the two interfaces. Although the critical thickness for the net polarization of KNbO3 film is finite - about 1 nm for Pt and 1.8 nm for SrRuO3 electrodes - local polarization persists down to thickness of a unit cell.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Bending and wrinkling as competing relaxation pathways for strained free-hanging films

    Full text link
    An equilibrium phase diagram for the shape of compressively strained free-hanging films is developed by total strain energy minimization. For small strain gradients {\Delta}{\epsilon}, the film wrinkles, while for sufficiently large {\Delta}{\epsilon}, a phase transition from wrinkling to bending occurs. We consider competing relaxation mechanisms for free-hanging films, which have rolled up into tube structures, and we provide an upper limit for the maximum achievable number of tube rotations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

    Entangling two superconducting LC coherent modes via a superconducting flux qubit

    Full text link
    Based on a pure solid-state device consisting of two superconducting LC circuits coupled to a superconducting flux qubit, we propose in this paper that the maximally entangled coherent states of the two LC modes can be generated for arbitrary coherent states through flux qubit controls.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

    A scheme for dense coding in the non-symmetric quantum channel

    Full text link
    We investigate the dense coding in the case of non-symmetric Hilbert spaces of the sender and receiver's particles sharing the quantum maximally entangled state. The efficiency of classical information gain is also considered. We conclude that when a more level particle is with the sender, she can get a non-symmetric quantum channel from a symmetric one by entanglement transfer. Thus the efficiency of information transmission is improved
