Engineered Optical Nonlocality in Nanostructured Metamaterials
We analyze dispersion properties of metal-dielectric nanostructured
metamaterials. We demonstrate that, in a sharp contrast to the results for the
corresponding effective medium, the structure demonstrates strong optical
nonlocality due to excitation of surface plasmon polaritons that can be
engineered by changing a ratio between the thicknesses of metal and dielectric
layers. In particular, this nonlocality allows the existence of an additional
extraordinary wave that manifests itself in the splitting of the TM-polarized
beam scattered at an air-metamaterial interface
Semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of equivariant coherent sheaves
Let X be an algebraic variety with an action of an algebraic group G. Suppose
X has a full exceptional collection of sheaves, and these sheaves are invariant
under the action of the group. We construct a semiorthogonal decomposition of
bounded derived category of G-equivariant coherent sheaves on X into
components, equivalent to derived categories of twisted representations of the
group. If the group is finite or reductive over the algebraically closed field
of zero characteristic, this gives a full exceptional collection in the derived
equivariant category. We apply our results to particular varieties such as
projective spaces, quadrics, Grassmanians and Del Pezzo surfaces.Comment: 28 pages, uses XY-pi
Fermionic construction of partition function for multi-matrix models and multi-component TL hierarchy
We use -component fermions to present -fold
integrals as a fermionic expectation value. This yields fermionic
representation for various -matrix models. Links with the -component
KP hierarchy and also with the -component TL hierarchy are discussed. We
show that the set of all (but two) flows of -component TL changes standard
matrix models to new ones.Comment: 16 pages, submitted to a special issue of Theoretical and

Interlayer tunneling spectroscopy of graphite at high magnetic field oriented parallel to the layers
Interlayer tunneling in graphite mesa-type structures is studied at a strong
in-plane magnetic field up to 55 T and low temperature K. The
tunneling spectrum vs. has a pronounced peak at a finite voltage
. The peak position increases linearly with . To explain the
experiment, we develop a theoretical model of graphite in the crossed electric
and magnetic fields. When the fields satisfy the resonant condition
, where is the velocity of the two-dimensional Dirac electrons in
graphene, the wave functions delocalize and give rise to the peak in the
tunneling spectrum observed in the experiment.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures; corresponds to the published version in Eur.

Negative high-frequency differential conductivity in semiconductor superlattices
We examine the high-frequency differential conductivity response properties
of semiconductor superlattices having various miniband dispersion laws. Our
analysis shows that the anharmonicity of Bloch oscillations (beyond
tight-binding approximation) leads to the occurrence of negative high-frequency
differential conductivity at frequency multiples of the Bloch frequency. This
effect can arise even in regions of positive static differential conductivity.
The influence of strong electron scattering by optic phonons is analyzed. We
propose an optimal superlattice miniband dispersion law to achieve
high-frequency field amplification
Commutator identities on associative algebras and integrability of nonlinear pde's
It is shown that commutator identities on associative algebras generate
solutions of linearized integrable equations. Next, a special kind of the
dressing procedure is suggested that in a special class of integral operators
enables to associate to such commutator identity both nonlinear equation and
its Lax pair. Thus problem of construction of new integrable pde's reduces to
construction of commutator identities on associative algebras.Comment: 12 page

Pauli spin blockade in CMOS double quantum dot devices
Silicon quantum dots are attractive candidates for the development of
scalable, spin-based qubits. Pauli spin blockade in double quantum dots
provides an efficient, temperature independent mechanism for qubit readout.
Here we report on transport experiments in double gate nanowire transistors
issued from a CMOS process on 300 mm silicon-on-insulator wafers. At low
temperature the devices behave as two few-electron quantum dots in series. We
observe signatures of Pauli spin blockade with a singlet-triplet splitting
ranging from 0.3 to 1.3 meV. Magneto-transport measurements show that
transitions which conserve spin are shown to be magnetic-field independent up
to B = 6 T.Comment: 5 pages , 4 figure
