Absorption spectrum around nu=1: evidence for a small-size Skyrmion

We measure the absorption spectrum of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in a GaAs quantum well in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. We focus on the absorption spectrum into the lowest Landau level around nu=1. We find that the spectrum consists of bound electron-hole complexes, trionlike and excitonlike. We show that their oscillator strength is a powerful probe of the 2DES spatial correlations. We find that near nu=1 the 2DES ground state consists of Skyrmions of small size (a few magnetic lengths).     

High-Resolution Infrared Spectrum of CD(3)CN: Analysis of the Interacting nu(3) and nu(6) Bands and Evaluation of the A(0) Constant

The infrared spectrum in the range 900-1230 cm(-1) including the fundamental bands nu(3) and nu(6) of CD(3)CN has been studied. The resolution attained was 0.0025 cm(-1) in the measurement on the Bruker 120 HR Fourier spectrometer in Oulu. About 4000 lines were assigned in the nu(6) band. For the weak nu(3) band, which has not been observed earlier directly, we were able to assign 206 lines in three subbands K=8-10. These lines become detectable due to the strong nu(3)/nu(6) Coriolis resonance. There is also an l(1,-2) resonance between nu(3) and nu(6), which made it possible to obtain a value 2.647721(50) cm(-1) for the axial rotational constant A(0), when D(0)(K) from force field calculations was applied. Different types of resonances with the overtone 3nu(8) and the combinations nu(4)+nu(8) and nu(7)+nu(8) were observed. A fit with a standard deviation of 0.0019 cm(-1) was attained by using a model of 10 different resonances. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Laterally modulated 2D electron system in the extreme quantum limit

We report on magnetotransport of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES), located 32 nm below the surface, with a surface superlattice gate structure of periodicity 39 nm imposing a periodic modulation of its potential. For low Landau level fillings nu, the diagonal resistivity displays a rich pattern of fluctuations, even though the disorder dominates over the periodic modulation. Theoretical arguments based on the combined effects of the long-wavelength, strong disorder and the short-wavelength, weak periodic modulation present in the 2DES qualitatively explain the data.     

Evidence for two different solid phases of two-dimensional electrons in high magnetic fields

We have observed two different rf resonances in the frequency dependent real diagonal conductivity of very high quality two-dimensional electron systems in the high magnetic field insulating phase and interpret them as coming from two different pinned electron solid phases (labeled as "A" and "B"). The "A" resonance is observable for Landau level filling nu<2/9 [reentrant around the nu=1/5 fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE)] and then crosses over to the different "B" resonance which dominates at sufficiently low nu. Moreover, the "A" resonance is found to show dispersion with respect to the size of the transmission line, indicating that the "A" phase has a large correlation length. We suggest that quantum correlations such as those responsible for FQHE may play an important role in giving rise to such different solids.     

High Resolution FTIR Spectroscopy of DCCCl: Anharmonic Resonances in the nu(1) and nu(2) Bands

High-resolution infrared spectra of the nu(1) and nu(2) bands of DCCCl were observed using Bruker IFS 120HR Fourier transform spectrometers at resolutions of 0.0044 and 0.0035 cm(-1), respectively. For the DCC(35)Cl isotopomer, the nu(1) as well as the nu(2) band was found to be heavily perturbed. Detailed analyses revealed that the nu(1) state is in resonance with the l=0 substate of the nu(3)+4nu(4) state and that the nu(2) state is in resonance with the l=0 substate of the nu(3)+4nu(5) state. The rotational constants played a key role in identifying the perturbing states. In contrast, for the DCC(37)Cl isotopomer, the rotational structures of the nu(1) and nu(2) states are almost regular but slightly perturbed by interactions with the nu(3)+4nu(4) and nu(3)+4nu(5) states, respectively. The constants of resonances as well as the molecular constants for the nu(1), nu(2), nu(3)+4nu(4) and nu(3)+4nu(5) states were determined. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Analysis of Rovibrational Resonances Observed in the Microwave Spectrum of FCCCN

Microwave spectrum of fluorocyanoacetylene (FCCCN) produced by a glow discharge in pentafluorobenzonitrile (C6F5CN) was observed using a source modulation spectrometer with a free-space absorption cell. Rotational transitions in the range from J = 9-8 to 53-52 were observed for the vibrationally excited states of nu4 (C&sbond;C stretch), nu5 (CCN bend), nu6 (FCC bend), nu7 (CCC bend), and their associated overtone and combination states up to about 1000 cm-1. Most of the vibrational states above 500 cm-1 are perturbed by rovibrational resonances. The effective vibration-rotation constant of the nu4 state has a negative value (-0.4 MHz), although a vibration-rotation constant generally has a positive value in the excited state of the stretching vibrational mode in a linear molecule. This anomalous behavior is interpreted as due to the rovibrational resonances between the nu4 and several nearby states. By the simultaneous analysis of the states concerned, the unperturbed vibrational energy and rotational constant of the nu4 state are obtained to be 686.50(76) cm-1 and 2068.2387(21) MHz, respectively, where the uncertainties correspond to one standard deviation.

Analysis of High-Resolution FTIR Spectrum of the nu6 Band of H13COOH

The FTIR spectrum of the nu6 band of H13COOH has been collected at a resolution of 0.004 cm-1 in the frequency range of 1030-1160 cm-1. The nu6 band was analyzed to be an A-B hybrid band and perturbed by the nearby nu8 band through a-, and b-Coriolis coupling terms. Using a Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian in the Ir representation, with the inclusion of a- and b-Coriolis resonances, a total of 3004 IR transitions of nu6 have been analyzed to provide rovibrational constants for the v6 = 1 state with a standard deviation of 0.00047 cm-1. The nu6 band was found to be centered at 1095.40365 +/- 0.00003 cm-1. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.     

Electron correlation in the second Landau level: a competition between many nearly degenerate quantum phases

At a very low-temperature of 9 mK, electrons in the second Landau level of an extremely high-mobility two-dimensional electron system exhibit a very complex electronic behavior. With a varying filling factor, quantum liquids of different origins compete with several insulating phases leading to an irregular pattern in the transport parameters. We observe a fully developed nu=2+2/5 state separated from the even-denominator nu=2+1/2 state by an insulating phase and a nu=2+2/7 and nu=2+1/5 state surrounded by such phases. A developing plateau at nu=2+3/8 points to the existence of other even-denominator states.     

Microwave resonances in low-filling insulating phases of two-dimensional electron and hole systems

The conductivity of the high magnetic field insulating phases of two-dimensional electron and hole systems (2DES and 2DHS) of sufficiently low disorder exhibits a resonance at microwave frequency. We present and compare results on this resonance in a moderate disorder 2DES and in a high quality 2DHS. The 2DES exhibits the resonance even though the high- insulator is not reentrant around the fractional quantum Hall effect. The resonance in the 2DHS is much sharper than that in the 2DES, and appears to be inconsistent with the standard model of a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator in a magnetic field.     

Tilt-induced localization and delocalization in the second Landau level

We have investigated the behavior of electronic phases of the second Landau level under tilted magnetic fields. The fractional quantum Hall liquids at nu=2+1/5 and 2+4/5 and the solid phases at nu=2.30, 2.44, 2.57, and 2.70 are quickly destroyed with tilt. This behavior can be interpreted as a tilt driven localization of the 2+1/5 and 2+4/5 fractional quantum Hall liquids and a delocalization through the melting of solid phases in the top Landau level, respectively. The evolution towards the classical Hall gas of the solid phases is suggestive of antiferromagnetic ordering.     

Quantum Hall fractions in rotating Bose-Einstein condensates

We study the quantum Hall phases that appear in the dilute limit of rotating Bose-Einstein condensates. By exact diagonalization in a spherical geometry we obtain the ground state and low-lying excited states of a small number of bosons as a function of the filling fraction nu, the ratio of the number of bosons to the number of vortices. We show the occurrence of the Jain principal sequence of incompressible liquids for nu=2/3,3/4,4/3,5/4 in addition to the Laughlin state nu=1/2 as well as the Pfaffian state for nu=1. We give gap estimates by finite-size scaling of both charged and neutral excitations.     

Evidence for a new dissipationless effect in 2D electronic transport

In an ultraclean 2D electron system (2DES) subjected to crossed millimeterwave (30-150 GHz) and weak (B<2 kG) magnetic fields, a series of apparently dissipationless states emerges as the system is detuned from cyclotron resonances. Such states are characterized by an exponentially vanishing low-temperature diagonal resistance and a classical Hall resistance. The activation energies associated with such states exceed the Landau level spacing by an order of magnitude. Our findings are likely indicative of a collective ground state previously unknown for 2DES.     

Rovibrational Study of the CH(2) Wagging Fundamental of Monofluoroacetonitrile

The vapor-phase infrared spectrum of monofluoroacetonitrile (CH(2)FCN) has been recorded at high resolution in the nu(4) band region (1363-1398 cm(-1)) using a tunable diode laser spectrometer. A detailed assignment of the rotational structure of the expected a-/b-hybrid band has been made for a-type transitions with K(a)相似文献   

Accurate determination of the scattering length of metastable helium atoms using dark resonances between atoms and exotic molecules

We present a new measurement of the s-wave scattering length a of spin-polarized helium atoms in the 2(3)S1 metastable state. Using two-photon photoassociation spectroscopy and dark resonances, we measure the energy E(nu)=14= -91.35+/- 0.06 MHz of the least-bound state nu = 14 in the interaction potential of the two atoms. We deduce a value of a=7.512+/-0.005 nm, which is at least 100 times more precise than the best previous determinations and is in disagreement with some of them. This experiment also demonstrates the possibility to create exotic molecules binding two metastable atoms with a lifetime of the order of 1 micros.     

Correlations of conductance peaks and transmission phases in deformed quantum dots

We investigate the Coulomb blockade resonances and the phase of the transmission amplitude of a deformed ballistic quantum dot weakly coupled to leads. We show that preferred single-particle levels exist which stay close to the Fermi energy for a wide range of values of the gate voltage. These states give rise to sequences of Coulomb blockade resonances with correlated peak heights and transmission phases. The correlation of the peak heights becomes stronger with increasing temperature. The phase of the transmission amplitude shows lapses by between the resonances. Implications for recent experiments on ballistic quantum dots are discussed. Received 17 July 1998     

Rovibrational Analysis of the nu(2) Band of Diazirine-d(2)

The gas-phase IR spectrum of the nu(2) (A(1), 1610.33 cm(-1)) band of the deuterated isotopomer of diazirine, D(2)CN(2), a three-membered ring compound which belongs to the molecular symmetry point group C(2v), has been studied at a resolution of about 0.005 cm(-1). This vibrational mode which can be approximately described as N&dbond;N stretching is widely perturbed. This is due to various interactions with the tetrad consisting of the binary combinations nu(6) + nu(7) (A(1)), nu(7) + nu(9) (A(2)), nu(5) + nu(6) (B(2)), and nu(5) + nu(9) (B(1)), which form a relatively isolated pentad together with nu(2) in the wavenumber region 1560-1610 cm(-1). A simultaneous upper state analysis of nu(2) from a pentad model including these resonances has been performed and a set of spectroscopic parameters has been obtained. Since the four combination bands of the pentad are dark states, only band centers could be determined; in addition for nu(5) + nu(9) and nu(7) + nu(9) also the term (B - C)/2 has been obtained. A number of Coriolis interaction constants and the vibrational resonance (with nu(6) + nu(7)) parameter have been calculated as well. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Quantum Hall ferrimagnetism in lateral quantum dot molecules

We demonstrate the existence of ferrimagnetic and ferromagnetic phases in a spin phase diagram of coupled lateral quantum dot molecules in the quantum Hall regime. The spin phase diagram is determined from the Hartree-Fock configuration interaction method as a function of electron number N and magnetic field B. The quantum Hall ferrimagnetic phase corresponds to spatially imbalanced spin droplets resulting from strong interdot coupling of identical dots. The quantum Hall ferromagnetic phases correspond to ferromagnetic coupling of spin polarization at filling factors between nu=2 and nu=1.     

Observation of the phase lag in the asymmetric photoelectron angular distributions of atomic barium

We have observed and measured the phase lag in the phase-dependent variation of the asymmetric photoelectron angular distribution of atomic barium. For these measurements, we photoionize the 6s6p(1)P(1) intermediate state of barium with concurrent one-photon and two-photon (omega-2omega) interactions. The laser interactions ionize the atoms in the vicinity of the series of autoionizing states converging upon the 5d(2)D(5/2) threshold. We study the variation of the phase lag as a function of the laser frequency. The variation shows strong correlation to the location of the autoionizing resonances, with full range exceeding 2pi, confirming the critical role of these resonances.     

Pinning modes and interlayer correlation in high-magnetic-field bilayer Wigner solids

We report studies of pinning mode resonances in the low total Landau filling (nu) Wigner solid of a series of bilayer hole samples with negligible interlayer tunneling and with varying interlayer separation d. Comparison of states with equal layer densities (p,p) to single layer states (p,0) produced in situ by biasing, indicates that there is interlayer quantum correlation in the solid at small d. Also, the resonance frequency at small d is decreased just near nu = 1/2 and 2/3, indicating the importance in the solid of correlations related to those in the fractional quantum Hall effects.
