We show that single electron tunneling devices such as the Cooper-pair box or double quantum dot can be sensitive to the zero-point fluctuation of a single trapping center hybridized with a Fermi sea. If the trap energy level is close to the Fermi sea and has linewidth gamma > k(B)T, its noise spectrum has an Ohmic Johnson-Nyquist form, whereas for gamma < k(B)T the noise has a Lorentzian form expected from the semiclassical limit. Trap levels above the Fermi level are shown to lead to steps in the noise spectrum that can be used to probe their energetics, allowing the identification of individual trapping centers coupled to the device.

Fermi polarons are emerging quasiparticles when a bosonic impurity immersed in a fermionic bath. Depending on the boson-fermion interaction strength, the Fermi-polaron resonances exhibit either attractive or repulsive interactions, which impose further experimental challenges on understanding the subtle light-driven dynamics. Here, we report the light-driven dynamics of attractive and repulsive Fermi polarons in monolayer WSe devices.

Here, we theoretically study the effect of exciton polarons on thermal radiation in doped two-dimensional semiconductors. By deriving an emissivity formula in terms of the dielectric function and the thickness of two-dimensional semiconductors, we show that the emissivity spectrum exhibits a narrow peak at the energy of an exciton polaron.

We present femtosecond pump-probe measurements of neutral and charged exciton optical response in monolayer MoSe to resonant photoexcitation of a given exciton state in the presence of 2D electron gas. We show that creation of charged exciton (X) population in a given K, K valley requires the capture of available free carriers in the opposite valley and reduces the interaction of neutral exciton (X) with the electron Fermi sea. We also observe spectral broadening of the X transition line with the increasing X population caused by efficient scattering and excitation induced dephasing.

A quantitative theory of the superconductivity of materials confined at the nanoscale in parameter-free agreement with experimental data has been missing so far. We present a generalization, in the Eliashberg framework, of a BCS theory of superconductivity in good metals which are confined along one of the three spatial directions, such as thin films. In this formulation of the Eliashberg equations the approximation of taking the normal density of states as its value at the Fermi level has been removed.

Article Synopsis
- Landau introduced the concept of rotons to explain superfluid liquid helium, which are quantum particle excitations associated with the disordered arrangement of atoms.
- The study demonstrates the existence of electronic rotons in a two-dimensional dipole liquid of alkali-metal ions interacting with black phosphorus, showcasing a unique energy minimum in their dispersion.
- As dipole density decreases, the interactions become more significant, leading to Wigner crystallization, with our findings highlighting the role of strong correlations in the formation of electronic rotons and a pseudogap.
