This physics study analyzes circular wave packets in high Rydberg states produced by applying a pulsed electric field to extreme Stark states. It reports a position-dependent energy gradient that creates a correlation between principal quantum number and spatial coordinate, which appears insensitive to the initial…

This paper proposes that Pb nanowires created by repeated indentation of a Pb tip on a Pb substrate may exhibit topological superconducting properties in an external magnetic field. The authors analyzed conductance curves from different nanowires and report that, in a few cases, the critical current shows a peculiar…

This condensed-matter study investigates highly oriented pyrolytic graphite under very strong magnetic fields at low temperature. It reports a magnetic-field-induced charge density wave transition and a subsequent sign reversal of the Hall coefficient from negative to positive. The reported angular dependence…

This paper describes unusual electronic properties of a graphene antidot created by a piecewise constant potential in a magnetic field. It reports near-complete localization of electron probability within the barrier region under some conditions and a symmetry linking antidot and dot states with identical…

This paper presents a theoretical model to investigate the origin of a mixed symmetry pairing state in the high-Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-δ under applied magnetic fields between Hc1 and Hc2. The authors report that the model’s results, and their stated agreement with relevant experimental data, suggest orthorhombic…

This neutron diffraction study quantifies how tetragonal structural domains in SrTiO3 redistribute below 105 K under external electric fields and uniaxial mechanical stress. The authors report that electric field and stress act competitively, and that applying both produces complex domain redistribution. The results…

Jan 1, 2010
This theoretical/physics paper examines how an in-plane uniform electric field affects the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect in graphene. It reports that magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and dHvA oscillation behavior depend on a dimensionless parameter β = E/(vF B), with divergences described at a critical…

Jan 1, 2009
This study reports solid-state NMR (13C and 15N MAS) measurements on CuCN·N2H4 to extract copper quadrupole coupling constants and characterize cyanide ordering. Ab initio calculations were used to determine electric field gradient and chemical shielding tensor orientations needed for spectral analysis. The authors…

This physics study reports ultranarrow optical absorption and two-phonon excitation spectroscopy of Cu2O paraexcitons in a high magnetic field at 1.2 K. A magnetic field enabled observation of an otherwise forbidden paraexciton absorption line and allowed measurement of field-dependent oscillator strength and energy…
