Standing Waves in a Cavity01:28

Standing Waves in a Cavity

876
A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:

Electromagnetic Waves in Matter

2.9K
Electromagnetic waves can travel in the vacuum as well as in matter. For example light, which is an electromagnetic wave, can travel through air, water, or glass.
Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the...

Types Of Superconductors

944
A superconductor is a substance that offers zero resistance to the electric current when it drops below a critical temperature. Zero resistance is not the only interesting phenomenon as materials reach their transition temperatures. A second effect is the exclusion of magnetic fields. This is known as the Meissner effect. A light, permanent magnet placed over a superconducting sample will levitate in a stable position above the superconductor. High-speed trains that levitate on strong...

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Quantum Mechanics

Background:

  • Magnetic adatoms on superconductors form Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states.
  • YSR states are crucial for developing topological superconductivity.
  • Engineering complex wave function symmetries is an active research area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate that YSR states can be used to engineer intricate wave function symmetries.
  • To investigate the hybridization of YSR states in engineered adatom structures.
  • To explore the potential of superconductor substrates in breaking symmetries for novel quantum states.

Main Methods:

  • Assembling iron (Fe) adatom structures on the quasi-two-dimensional superconductor 2H-NbSe2.
  • Utilizing scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to observe and characterize YSR states.
  • Analyzing the spatial extent and hybridization of YSR wave functions.

Main Results:

  • YSR wave functions exhibit large spatial extent, enabling hybridization even at significant adatom distances.
  • The 2H-NbSe2 substrate was used to break structural symmetries, leading to novel hybridized YSR states.
  • Engineered chiral YSR wave functions were successfully created using triangular adatom arrangements.

Conclusions:

  • YSR states provide an ideal platform for engineering complex wave function symmetries.
