Kato is the collaborative effort of eight laboratories, in which we treat the hierarchy of matter from hadrons to biomolecules with three underlying and interconnected key concepts: interaction, excitation, and heterogeneity. The project consists of experimental research conducted using cutting-edge technologies, including lasers, signal processing and data acquisition, and particle beams at RIKEN RI Beam Factory (RIBF) and RIKEN Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). • Physical and chemical views of matter lead to major discoveries Although this project is based on the physics and chemistry of non-living systems, we constantly keep all types of matter, including living matter, in our mind. The importance of analyzing matter from physical and chemical points of view was demonstrated in the case of DNA. The Watson-Crick model of DNA was developed based on the X-ray diffraction, which is a physical measurement. The key feature of this model is the hydrogen bonding that occurs between DNA base pairs. Watson and Crick learned about hydrogen bonding in the renowned book “The Nature of the Chemical Bond,” written by their competitor, L.

    nanomaterials Review Revealing the Exciton Fine Structure in Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals Lei Hou 1,2 , Philippe Tamarat 1,2 and Brahim Lounis 1,2,* 1 Université de Bordeaux, LP2N, F-33405 Talence, France; [email protected] (L.H.); [email protected] (P.T.) 2 Institut d’Optique and CNRS, LP2N, F-33405 Talence, France * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are attractive nano-building blocks for photo- voltaics and optoelectronic devices as well as quantum light sources. Such developments require a better knowledge of the fundamental electronic and optical properties of the band-edge exciton, whose fine structure has long been debated. In this review, we give an overview of recent magneto- optical spectroscopic studies revealing the entire excitonic fine structure and relaxation mechanisms in these materials, using a single-NC approach to get rid of their inhomogeneities in morphology and crystal structure. We highlight the prominent role of the electron-hole exchange interaction in the order and splitting of the bright triplet and dark singlet exciton sublevels and discuss the effects of size, shape anisotropy and dielectric screening on the fine structure. The spectral and temporal manifestations of thermal mixing between bright and dark excitons allows extracting the specific nature and strength of the exciton–phonon coupling, which provides an explanation for their remarkably bright photoluminescence at low temperature although the ground exciton state is optically inactive. We also decipher the spectroscopic characteristics of other charge complexes Citation: Hou, L.; Tamarat, P.; whose recombination contributes to photoluminescence.

The given Bose–Einstein condensate exists in a purely fermionic system (ν = 2 quantum Hall insulator) due to the presence of a non-equilibrium ensemble of spin-triplet magnetoexcitons—composite bosons. It is found that the condensate can spread over macroscopically long distances of approximately 200 µm. The propagation velocity of long-lived spin excitations is measured to be 25 m/s. Keywords: spintronics; spin transport; excitations; low-dimensional systems; spectroscopy; the Bose–Einstein condensate 1.

  • Exciton-Polarons in Doped Semiconductors in a Strong Magnetic Field
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B 97, 235432 (2018) Exciton-polarons in doped semiconductors in a strong magnetic field Dmitry K. Efimkin and Allan H. MacDonald Center for Complex Quantum Systems, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA (Received 19 July 2017; revised manuscript received 9 April 2018; published 21 June 2018) In previous work, we have argued that the optical properties of moderately doped two-dimensional semi- conductors can be described in terms of excitons dressed by their interactions with a degenerate Fermi sea of additional charge carriers. These interactions split the bare exciton into attractive and repulsive exciton-polaron branches. The collective excitations of the coupled system are many-body generalizations of the bound trion and unbound states of a single electron interacting with an exciton. In this paper, we consider exciton-polarons in the presence of an external magnetic field that quantizes the kinetic energy of the electrons in the Fermi sea. Our theoretical approach is based on a transformation to a new basis that respects the underlaying symmetry of magnetic translations. We find that the attractive exciton-polaron branch is only weakly influenced by the magnetic field, whereas the repulsive branch exhibits magnetic oscillations and splits into discrete peaks that reflect combined exciton-cyclotron resonance.

Shelykh4, 2 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Exeter, Stocker Road, Exeter EX4 4QL, UK 2Department of Nanophotonics and Metamaterials, ITMO University, St. Petersburg, 197101, Russia 3Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Sheffield, Sheffield, S3 7RH, United Kingdom 4Science Institute, University of Iceland, Dunhagi-3, IS-107 Reykjavik, Iceland We study a 2D system of trion-polaritons at the quantum level and demonstrate that for mono- layer semiconductors they can exhibit a strongly nonlinear optical response. The effect is due to the composite nature of trion-based excitations resulting in their nontrivial quantum statistical proper- ties, and enhanced phase space filling effects. We present the full quantum theory to describe the statistics of trion-polaritons, and demonstrate that the associated nonlinearity persists at the level of few quanta, where two qualitatively different regimes of photon antibunching are present for weak and strong single photon-trion coupling. We find that single photon emission from trion-polaritons becomes experimentally feasible in state-of-the-art transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) setups. This can foster the development of quantum polaritonics using 2D monolayers as a material platform.
