The enigma of supersolidity

S Balibar - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
A'supersolid'is a quantum solid in which a fraction of the mass is superfluid. As a remarkable
consequence, it is rigid, but part of its mass is able to flow owing to quantum physical …

We report the creation of a nanoscale electrochemical device inside a transmission electron
microscope—consisting of a single tin dioxide (SnO2) nanowire anode, an ionic liquid …

Supersolid droplet crystal in a dipole-blockaded gas

F Cinti, P Jain, M Boninsegni, A Micheli, P Zoller… - Physical Review Letters, 2010 - APS
A novel supersolid phase is predicted for an ensemble of Rydberg atoms in the dipole-

[图书][B] Handbook of nanophysics: clusters and fullerenes

KD Sattler - 2010 - taylorfrancis.com
The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

Atom-light crystallization of Bose-Einstein condensates in multimode cavities: Nonequilibrium classical and quantum phase transitions, emergent lattices, supersolidity …

S Gopalakrishnan, BL Lev, PM Goldbart - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2010 - APS
The self-organization of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a transversely pumped optical
cavity is a process akin to crystallization: when pumped by a laser of sufficient intensity, the …

Ab initio low-energy dynamics of superfluid and solid

E Vitali, M Rossi, L Reatto, DE Galli - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2010 - APS
We have extracted information about real time dynamics of H 4 e systems from noisy
imaginary-time correlation functions f (τ) computed via quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) …

Complete devil's staircase and crystal–superfluid transitions in a dipolar XXZ spin chain: a trapped ion quantum simulation

P Hauke, FM Cucchietti, A Müller-Hermes… - New Journal of …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Systems with long-range interactions show a variety of intriguing properties: they
typically accommodate many metastable states, they can give rise to spontaneous formation …

Frequency dependence and dissipation in the dynamics of solid helium

O Syshchenko, J Day, J Beamish - Physical Review Letters, 2010 - APS
Torsional oscillator experiments on solid He 4 show frequency changes which suggest mass
decoupling, but the onset is broad and is accompanied by a dissipation peak. We have …

Nonsuperfluid Origin of the Nonclassical Rotational Inertia in a Bulk Sample of Solid

JD Reppy - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
The torsional oscillator experiments described here examine the effect of disorder on the
nonclassical rotational inertia (NCRI) of a solid He 4 sample. The NCRI increases with …

Anomalous Softening of Crystals

X Rojas, A Haziot, V Bapst, S Balibar, HJ Maris - Physical Review Letters, 2010 - APS
We have measured the elasticity of high quality ultrapure He 4 single crystals in the low
temperature region where supersolidity is supposed to occur. At 20 mK, our results are …
