Published: October 2004

Within a systematic approach based on nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics, we derive the one-loop self-energy correction of order alpha(Z alpha)(4) to the bound-electron g factor. In combination with numerical data, this analytic result improves theoretical predictions for the self-energy correction for carbon and oxygen by an order of magnitude. Basing on one-loop calculations, we obtain the logarithmic two-loop contribution of order alpha(2)(Z alpha)(4)ln([(Z alpha)(-2)] and the dominant part of the corresponding constant term. The results obtained improve the accuracy of the theoretical predictions for the 1S bound-electron g factor and influence the value of the electron mass determined from g-factor measurements.

Article Synopsis
  • The properties of excitons, crucial to their behavior in materials, depend on factors like spin, valley, and energy, and can be modified through the stacking of layers in van der Waals materials.
  • In bi- and tri-layer 2H-MoSe crystals, interlayer excitons can be electrically manipulated, resulting in unique coupling with intralayer excitons and enabling enhanced optical properties.
  • The study demonstrates significant tunability of exciton characteristics, like dipole strength and energy levels, while allowing for manipulation of spin and valley attributes, making multilayer 2H-MoSe an exciting platform for advanced research in light-matter interactions.

The operation of photonic devices often relies on modulation of their refractive index. While the sub-bandgap index change through bound-electron optical nonlinearity offers a faster response than utilizing free carriers with an overbandgap pump, optical switching often suffers from inefficiency. Here, we use a recently observed metasurface based on mirror-induced optical bound states in the continuum, to enable superior modulation characteristics.

We present the measurements of individual bound electron g factors of ^{20}Ne^{9+} and ^{22}Ne^{9+} on the relative level of 0.1 parts per billion. The comparison with theory represents the most stringent test of bound-state QED in strong electric fields.

Excitons, bound electron-hole pairs, in two-dimensional hybrid organic inorganic perovskites (2D HOIPs) are capable of forming hybrid light-matter states known as exciton-polaritons (E-Ps) when the excitonic medium is confined in an optical cavity. In the case of 2D HOIPs, they can self-hybridize into E-Ps at specific thicknesses of the HOIP crystals that form a resonant optical cavity with the excitons. However, the fundamental properties of these self-hybridized E-Ps in 2D HOIPs, including their role in ultrafast energy and/or charge transfer at interfaces, remain unclear.

Stringent test of QED with hydrogen-like tin.

Inner-shell electrons naturally sense the electric field close to the nucleus, which can reach extreme values beyond 10 V cm for the innermost electrons. Especially in few-electron, highly charged ions, the interaction with the electromagnetic fields can be accurately calculated within quantum electrodynamics (QED), rendering these ions good candidates to test the validity of QED in strong fields. Consequently, their Lamb shifts were intensively studied in the past several decades.
