We investigate the effect of an external magnetic field on the carrier states that are localized at a potential kink and a kink-antikink in bilayer graphene. These chiral states are localized at the interface between two potential regions with opposite signs.PACS numbers: 71.10.Pm, 73.21.-b, 81.05.Uw.

We investigate the relaxation dynamics of photogenerated carriers in low-temperature grown GaAs by femtosecond pump-probe measurements. The carrier dynamics in the vicinity of the band edge is disentangled in a two-color technique. The filling of shallow bound states close beneath the band edge is resolved. A temporal delay in the occupation of these states as well as a large optical nonlineari...

We have studied carrier dynamics in In(2)O(3) nanocrystals grown on a quartz substrate using chemical vapor deposition. Transient differential absorption measurements have been employed to investigate the relaxation dynamics of photo-generated carriers in In(2)O(3) nanocrystals. Intensity measurements reveal that Auger recombination plays a crucial role in the carrier dynamics for the carrier d...

The ability to distribute quantum entanglement is a prerequisite for many fundamental tests of quantum theory and numerous quantum information protocols. Two distant parties can increase the amount of entanglement between them by means of quantum communication encoded in a carrier that is sent from one party to the other. Intriguingly, entanglement can be increased even when the exchanged carri...
