  • Los estados limitados en el continuo (BIC) son estados topológicos protegidos por simetría.
  • Los BIC exhiben teoricamente vidas infinitas y cargas topológicas.
  • Estudios previos mostraron BICs ópticos con láser, pero su pleno potencial permanece sin explotar.

Objetivo Del Estudio

  • Para demostrar la condensación de Bose-Einstein de no equilibrio de los polaritones dentro de un BIC.
  • Aprovechar la naturaleza no radiante de los BIC para mejorar la acumulación de polaritones.
  • Investigar las propiedades de dispersión únicas y los aspectos topológicos de este fenómeno.

Principales Métodos

  • Utilizando una red de cristal fotónica plana para realizar BIC protegidos por simetría.
  • El confinamiento de polaritones (excitaciones híbridas de luz y materia) dentro de una geometría de guía de ondas.
  • Observación de la condensación de polaritones en un punto de la silla de montar en el espacio recíproco debido a las propiedades BIC.

Principales Resultados

  • Se logró la condensación Bose-Einstein de no equilibrio de los polaritones en un BIC.

A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as...

Near absolute zero temperatures, in the presence of a magnetic field, the majority of nuclei prefer the lower energy spin-up state to the higher energy spin-down state. As temperatures increase, the energy from thermal collisions distributes the spins more equally between the two states. The Boltzmann distribution equation gives the ratio of the number of spins predicted in the spin −½ (N−) and spin +½ (N+) states.

Here, ΔE is the energy difference between the...

In bromoethane, the three methyl protons are coupled to the two methylene protons that are three bonds away. In accordance with the n+1 rule, the signal from the methyl protons is split into three peaks with 1:2:1 relative intensities. The methylene protons appear as a quartet, with the relative intensities of 1:3:3:1.
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...

In the absence of an external magnetic field, nuclear spin states are degenerate and randomly oriented. When a magnetic field is applied, the spins begin to precess and orient themselves along (lower energy) or against (higher energy) the direction of the field. At equilibrium, a slight excess population of spins exists in the lower energy state. Because the direction of the magnetic field is fixed as the z-axis,  the precessing magnetic moments are randomly oriented around the z-axis.

NMR-active nuclei have energy levels called 'spin states' that are associated with the orientations of their nuclear magnetic moments. In the absence of a magnetic field, the nuclear magnetic moments are randomly oriented, and the spin states are degenerate. When an external magnetic field is applied, the spin states have only 2 + 1 orientations available to them. A proton with = ½ has two available orientations. Similarly, for a quadrupolar nucleus with a nuclear spin value of...
