ENHANCEMENT OF RYDBERG ATOM INTERACTIONS USING DC AND AC STARK SHIFTSBohlouli-Zanjani, Parisa January 2010 (has links)
This thesis reports the use of both dc and ac electric fi eld induced resonant
energy transfer, RET, between cold Rydberg atoms as a useful tool for enhancement
of interatomic interactions. A general technique for laser frequency stabilization and
its suitability for Rydberg atom excitation is also demonstrated.
RET between cold Rydberg atoms was used to determine Rydberg atom energy
levels. The ⁸⁵Rb atoms are laser cooled and trapped in a magneto-optical trap.
For energy level determination experiment, atoms were optically excited to 32d₅/₂
Rydberg states. The two-atom process 32d₅/₂ + 32d₅/₂ → 34p₃/₂+30g is resonant at
an electric fi eld of approximately 0.3 V/cm through dipole dipole interaction. The
experimentally observed resonant fi eld, together with the Stark map calculation is
used to make a determination of the ⁸⁵Rb ng-series quantum defect to be ⵒg(n =
30) = 0.00405(6).
The ac Stark eff ect was also used to induce RET between cold Rydberg atoms.
When a 28.5 GHz dressing field was set at speci fic fi eld strengths, the two-atom
dipole-dipole process 43d₅/₂ + 43d₅/₂ → 45p₃/₂ + 41f was dramatically enhanced,
due to induced degeneracy of the initial and final states. This method for enhancing
interactions is complementary to dc electric- field-induced RET, but has more
flexibility due to the possibility of varying the applied frequency. At a dressing field
of 28.5 GHz all of the participating levels (43d₅/₂, 45p₃/₂ and 41f) show signi cant
shifts and these give a complicated series of resonances. An oscillating electric
fi eld at 1.356 GHz was also used to promote the above RET process where the
atoms are initially excited to the 43d₅/₂ Rydberg states. The ac fi eld strength was
scanned to collect RET spectra. Di fferent resonances were observed for diff erent
magnetic sublevels involved in the process. Compared to the higher dressing field
frequency of 28.5 GHz, the choice of dressing frequency of 1.356 GHz, which is
slightly blue detuned from the 41f - 41g transition, and structure of the spectra
may be understood, by analogy with the dc field case.

Caracterização de áreas favoráveis à extração de blocos graníticos de grade porte com o uso da eletrorresistividade, Cabo de Santo Agostinho, PE / not availableSilva, Diego Daniel 24 October 2014 (has links)
Os métodos geoelétricos, principalmente a eletrorresistividade, estão sendo cada vez mais requisitados na área da mineração, indicando espessura de capeamento de solo, zonas fraturadas e heterogeneidades do material, viabilizando economicamente, ou não, um projeto minerário. Este trabalho, realizado no município do Cabo de Santo Agostinho -PE, apresenta e discute resultados de aplicações do método geofísico, da eletrorresistividade, como instrumento de auxílio na abertura de uma nova frente de lavra para extração de blocos graníticos de grande porte. Foi investigada a espessura do capeamento de solo, bem como as principais zonas locais de falhas e fraturas. Para isso foram realizadas 32 SEVs (03 SEVs por perfil, à exceção da Linha 11, com 02) com arranjo Schlumberger de AB/2 máximo de 60metros, e 11 caminhamentos elétricos com arranjo dipolo-dipolo de AB=MN=20 metros,com aproximadamente 1000m de extensão cada perfil. As SEVs foram dispostas nas linhas de modo a cobrir adequadamente a área do terreno, possibilitando a confecção de um mapa de contorno da profundidade do topo rochoso e a caracterização do perfil de alteração pedológico. Os caminhamentos elétricos foram dispostos paralelamente entre si e espaçados de 60 metros, podendo ser observadas as possíveis configurações do topo rochoso, como rocha não fraturada e zonas fraturadas. A partir dos dados dos caminhamentos elétricos foram elaboradas simulações 3D de resistividade e para a estimativa de volume de rocha não fraturada na área de estudo (com base nas resistividades mais elevadas).Os resultados obtidos mostraram a eficiência da eletrorresistividade na determinação do topo da rocha sã e detecção das zonas fraturadas no maciço granítico. / The geoeletric methods, especially electroresistivity, are being progressively more required on mining, for identifying soil thickness, fractured zones and geological heterogeneities, to check economical viability of mining projects. This work, held in Cabo de Santo Agostinho-PE city, presents and discusses geophysics application results of electroresistivity as a tool for helping the opening of a new granitic blocks exploitation front. The soil thickness was investigated, as well as the main local fault zones and fractures. A total of 32 VESs (03 VESs per section, exception made to line 11, with 02 VESs) using Schlumberger array with AB/2 maximum of 60 m, and 11 geoelectrical profilings using dipole-dipole array (AB=MN=20 m), with section lengths close to 1000 m. The VESs lines were organized in order to cover the studied area properly, allowing mapping the top of the rock massif and characterizing the soil profile. The geoelectrical profilings were disposed parallel with 60 m gap among each other, enabling the observation of the massif top configurations, such as fractured and non fractured zones. 3D resistivity simulations were performed using the geoelectrical profilings data in order to estimate the total volume of non fractured rock in the studied area (based on the highest resistivities). The obtained data showed the efficiency of electroresistivity for fractured zones detection and for mapping the top of the fresh rock massif.

Localization versus subradiance in three-dimensional scattering of light / Localização versus sub-radiância no espalhamento tridimensional de luzMoreira, Noel Araujo 23 July 2019 (has links)
A blue sky, a white cloud or a red sunset are explained by classical multiple scattering theory of light. However, these phenomena neglect interference occurrence. Once it is taken into account, interference in a disordered medium may actually put a halt to the propagation of light, an effect known as Anderson Localization. Until now, experimental reports of Anderson Localization of light in 3D systems have not been conclusive. Our goal is to understand what are the underlying obstacles, and look for new insights from a theoretical point of view. In this dissertation, the properties of a cloud of two-level atoms scattering light are investigated. The dipole-dipole interaction generates collective modes, some of them, being localized. We found that finite-size effects dominate the lifetime of the localized modes, specifically by the ratio of localization length to their distance to the system boundaries. Localized modes saturates at maximum of 20% even above phase transition. Studying the steady-state regime, the coupling between localized modes and light is weak. Both results agrees with the difficulty of experimental evidence of light localization and promote the link of experiments and theory. / Um céu azul, uma nuvem branca ou um por do sol vermelho são explicados pela teoria clássica de espalhamento múltiplo da luz. No entanto, esses fenômenos negligenciam a ocorrência de interferências. Uma vez levada em conta, a interferência em um meio desordenado pode interromper a propagação da luz, um efeito conhecido como Localização de Anderson. Até agora, relatos experimentais de Anderson Localização de luz em sistemas 3D não foram conclusivos. Nosso objetivo é entender quais são os obstáculos fundamentais, e buscar novos insights do ponto de vista teórico. Nesta dissertação, as propriedades de uma nuvem de átomos de dois níveis espalhando luz de é investigado. A interação dipolo-dipolo gera modos coletivos, alguns deles, sendo localizados. Descobrimos que os efeitos de tamanho finito dominam o tempo de vida dos modos localizados, especificamente pela razão entre o comprimento da localização e sua distância até os limites do sistema. Os modos localizados saturam no máximo 20%, mesmo acima da transição de fase. Estudando o regime de estado estacionário, o acoplamento entre modos localizados e luz é fraco. Ambos os resultados concordam com a dificuldade da evidência experimental da localização da luz e promovem a ligação entre experimentos e teoria.

Few-body interactions in cold Rydberg atoms / Interaction à quelques corps entre atomes de RydbergFaoro, Riccardo 03 December 2015 (has links)
L’objectif de cette thèse est l’étude des différents aspects de l’interaction à quelques corps entre des atomes de Rydberg froids. Cette thèse a été réalisée dans le cadre d’une cotutelle entre l’Université Paris-Saclay et l’Université de Pise en travaillant sur deux différents montages expérimentaux sur des atomes de Rydberg froids : respectivement sur le Cs au Laboratoire Aimé Cotton et sur le Rb au département de Physique de l’Université de Pise. Au Laboratoire Aimé Cotton nous avons démontré l’existence des nouvelles interactions à quelques corps dans un gas gelé d’atomes de Rydberg. Ces nouvelles résonances sont la généralisation des résonances de Förster bien connues dans le domaine des atomes de Rydberg. Ces résonances agissent sur les degrés de liberté interne des atomes de Rydberg et ont l’effet d’un transfert résonant d’énergie et de population comme dans le cas des FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). Comme dans le cas de la résonance de Förster à deux corps, les résonances FRET à trois corps sont accordées à la résonance avec un champ électrique externe et peuvent être observées pour différents nombres quantique principaux. Les effets à trois corps sont observés en absence de tout effet à deux corps et sont qualifiés de Borroméens. La présence d’un champ externe peut générer d’autres résonances entre atomes de Rydberg qui sont interdites en absence de champ électrique. Ces résonances, qu’on peut qualifier des résonances quasi-interdites, sont dues à un couplage dipole-dipole de type Förster. Nous avons identifié toutes ces résonances liées au couplage entre les niveaux de multiplicité de n différents.Dans le montage expérimental à Pise on a étudié les effets mécaniques liés à la répulsion van der Waals entre atomes de Rydberg. Nous avons étudié l’expansion due à l’interaction van der Waals dans une chaîne 1D des atomes de Rydberg de Rb qui ont étés excités avec une excitation laser hors résonance. La comparaison entre les différents désaccords de l’excitation laser démontre le rôle central joué par l’interaction van der Waals. / The aim of this thesis is to investigate different aspects of few-body interactions in cold Rydberg atoms. It has been realized in a co-tutelle program between the University of Paris-Saclay and the University of Pisa working on two different experimental set ups: one at Laboratoire Aimé Cotton on cold Cs Rydberg atoms and a second at Physics Department of Pisa on cold Rb Rydberg atoms. In Laboratoire Aimé Cotton we demonstrated the existence of new few-body interactions we observed in a frozen Rydberg gas of Cs atoms. These new resonances are a generalization of already known two-body Förster resonances. They act on the internal degrees of freedom of the Rydberg atoms leading to a resonant energy transfer analogous to the one in FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). In analogy with Förster resonance, three-body FRETs are tuned with an external electric field and can be observed for different principal quantum number. The three-body interaction appeared in the absence of any two-body ones and for this reasons it has a Borromean character. The presence of this external electric field leads to additional resonances between Rydberg atoms supposedly forbidden. These resonances, we call quasi-forbidden Förster resonances, are due to dipole-dipole interaction as in the case of Förster resonance. We investigated these resonances finding a large number close to the allowed two-body and three-body FRET. A precise study was necessary in order to identify and discriminate these resonances from the allowed ones.In the experiment in Pisa we instead focus our attention on the mechanical effect of van der Waals repulsion between Rydberg atoms. We studied the spatial expansion due to a van der Waals interaction in a 1D chain of Rb Rydberg atoms excited with an off-resonant laser excitation. The comparison of the spatial expansion for different detuning of the laser excitation reveals the central role of the van der Waals interaction whose strength is equal to the detuning of the laser excitation.

Self-assembly of dipolar particles / Auto-assemblage de particules dipolairesSpiteri, Ludovic 21 December 2018 (has links)
Cette thèse couvre l'auto-assemblage de particules dipolaires (magnétiques/électriques). Ces systèmes sont abondants en physique de la matière condensée (molécules et nanoparticules magnétiques, particules colloïdales magnétiques, bactérie magnétotactique, etc.). Sur un plan fondamental, ils représentent un défi important en raison de l'anisotropie et de la longue portée de l'interaction de paire. Le principal objectif de ce travail de recherche est de prédire les microstructures de ces systèmes en tenant compte de façon adéquate de l'interaction complexe dipôle-dipôle ainsi que des effets stériques et ceux dus à un éventuel confinement. Comprendre et revisiter les interactions de filaments dipolaires tels que des aiguilles et des chaînes faites de billes dipolaires est une première étape importante de cette thèse. En effet, les chaînes sont les constituants élémentaires de nombreux systèmes dipolaires, notamment sous l'effet d'un champ magnétique extérieur appliqué. Ensuite, l'agrégation colonnaire des chaînes dipolaires est examinée, ce qui conduit aussi naturellement à l'étude des cristaux dipolaires massifs où une nouvelle phase est découverte. Le cas plus générique des chaînes hélicoïdales est discuté en considérant les situations limites que sont les chaînes linéaires droites et en zigzag. L'association des chaînes dipolaires, dans le cas bidimensionnel, forme des rubans, puis une monocouche avec un réseau hexagonal. La réponse non triviale d'un tel réseau à un champ magnétique perpendiculaire imposé est aussi étudiée. Il est démontré qu'un réseau rhombique peut être induit de cette façon. Finalement, la sédimentation de particules paramagnétiques dans une monocouche inclinée en présence d'un champ magnétique est explorée via une étude mêlant expériences, théorie et simulations. L'ordre induit par gravité s'avère être une voie prometteuse pour l'élaboration contrôlée de réseaux bidimensionnels / This thesis covers the self-assembly of dipolar (magnetic/dielectric) particles. These systems are abundant in condensed matter physics (magnetic molecules and nanoparticles, magnetic colloidal particles, magnetotactic bacteria, etc). They also represent a fundamental challenge owing to the both long range and anisotropic nature of the pair interaction. The main objective of this research work is to predict the microstructures of these systems by properly handling the intricate dipole-dipole interaction combined with steric and possibly confinement effects. Understanding and revisiting the interaction of dipolar filaments such as needles or chains made up of dipolar beads is a first important achievement in this thesis. Indeed, the chains are the fundamental building blocks of many dipolar systems especially under applied external magnetic field. Then, the columnar aggregation of dipolar chains is investigated which naturally leads to the study of the bulk dipolar crystals. A new phase is discovered there. The more generic case of helical chains is discussed by considering limiting situations such as straight linear chains and zigzag chains. The association of dipolar chains in two-dimensions forms ribbons then a monolayer with triangular lattice symmetry. The interesting response of such a layer to an imposed perpendicular magnetic is addressed as well. It is demonstrated that rhombicity can be induced that way. Finally, sedimenting paramagnetic particles in a tilted monolayer in presence of a magnetic field are investigated by experiments, theory and simulations. The gravity-mediated ordering is found to be a promising route to elaborate tailored two-dimensional patterns

Diffusion de la lumière dans les nuages denses mésoscopiques d'atomes froids / Light scattering in dense mesoscopic cold atomic cloudsBourgain, Ronan 13 March 2014 (has links)
Lorsque l’on place des atomes suffisamment proches les uns des autres, l’interaction dipôle-dipôle résonante entre les atomes modifie leurs propriétés. Les atomes se comportent alors de manière collective. Ces effets collectifs se produisent lorsque les distances interparticulaires sont de l’ordre de l/(2Pi), où l est la longueur d’onde de la transition atomique. La densité atomique est alors de l’ordre de 10^14 at/cm^3. Afin de créer des échantillons d’atomes froids présentant des densités aussi élevées, nous avons mis en place plusieurs méthodes de chargement de nos pinces optiques de taille micrométrique. L’une d’elles utilise un processus d’évaporation forcée qui amène les atomes proches de la dégénérescence quantique. En utilisant des nuages denses contenant quelques centaines d’atomes à des densités spatiales élevées, et en étudiant les modifications de la diffusion de la lumière qui en résultent, nous avons pu mettre en évidence des effets collectifs entre les atomes. Nous avons par ailleurs mesuré le retard de Wigner associé à la diffusion élastique de la lumière par un atome unique de rubidium. Nous avons mesuré un retard proche de la valeur théorique, c’est-à-dire deux fois la durée de vie de la transition atomique (52 ns). / When several atoms are placed close to each other, the resonant dipole-dipole interactionbetween atoms modifies the atomic properties and atoms behave collectively. These collective effects occur for interatomic distances on the order of l/(2Pi) where l is the wavelength of the atomic transition. The atomic density is then on the order of 10^14 at/cm^3. To create such cold atomic samples, we load optical tweezers with a microscopic size according to several loading schemes. One of them uses forced evaporative cooling and brings the atoms close to quantum degeneracy. We have used dense clouds containing a few hundred atoms with a high spatial density to demonstrate collective effects between the atoms. In particular, we have studied how these effects modify the scattering of light by the cloud. Besides, we have also measured for the first time the time-delay associated to the elastic scattering of light by a single rubidium atom, the so-called Wigner delay. We have shown that this delay is close to the theoretical prediction of twice the lifetime of the atomic transition (52 ns).
