Atomic displacements in low temperature irradiated chromium crystals
2014 Monocrystalline specimens of chromium, cut parallel to the (100), (110) and (111) planes, have been irradiated with electrons in the energy range 0.48-1.7 MeV. The threshold energy for atomic displacement is found to be about equal in the two crystallographic directions ~ 100~ and ~ 111~ , although the mechanisms for displacement may be quite different in the two cases. The recovery of the...
متن کاملSqueezed phonon states: Modulating quantum fluctuations of atomic displacements.
We study squeezed quantum states of phonons, which allow the possibility of modulating the quantum fluctuations of atomic displacements below the zero-point quantum noise level of coherent phonon states. We calculate the corresponding expectation values and fluctuations of both the atomic displacement and lattice amplitude operators, and also investigate the possibility of generating squeezed p...
متن کاملQuantum phonon optics: Coherent and squeezed atomic displacements.
We investigate coherent and squeezed quantum states of phonons. The latter allow the possibility of modulating the quantum fluctuations of atomic displacements below the zero-point quantum noise level of coherent states. The expectation values and quantum fluctuations of both the atomic displacement and the lattice amplitude operators are calculated in these states—in some cases analytically. W...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System
The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional atomic crystals.
We report free-standing atomic crystals that are strictly 2D and can be viewed as individual atomic planes pulled out of bulk crystals or as unrolled single-wall nanotubes. By using micromechanical cleavage, we have prepared and studied a variety of 2D crystals including single layers of boron nitride, graphite, several dichalcogenides, and complex oxides. These atomically thin sheets (essentia...
