Large terahertz electric dipole of a single graphene quantum dot

A Quantum Dot Microcavity Terahertz Laser

We discuss a THz laser device based on a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) gain medium, where the lasing occurs through discrete conduction states. An ensemble of QDs is selectively placed in a high quality cavity, called a microdisk, which is resonant with a terahertz intersublevel QD transition. We simulate the rate equations goveming iasing and discuss a variety of processes affecting lasing in...

Bistability in the Electric Current through a Quantum-Dot Capacitively Coupled to a Charge-Qubit

We investigate the electronic transport through a single-level quantum-dot which is capacitively coupled to a charge-qubit. By employing the method of nonequilibrium Green's functions, we calculate the electric current through quantum dot at finite bias voltages. The Green's functions and self-energies of the system are calculated perturbatively and self-consistently to the second order of inte...

Terahertz Dielectric Resonator Antenna Coupled to Graphene Plasmonic Dipole

This paper presents an efficient approach for exciting a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) in the terahertz frequencies by means of a graphene plasmonic dipole. Design and analysis are performed in two steps. First, the propagation properties of hybrid plasmonic onedimensional and two-dimensional structures are obtained by using transfer matrix theory and the finite-element method. The couplin...

Large electric dipole moments of heavy leptons.

In many models of CP violation, the electric dipole moment (EDM) of a heavy charged or neutral lepton could be very large. In models in which the EDMs scale as the cube of the mass, as well as in vectorlike models, a 100 GeV heavy lepton can have an EDM as large as 0.01e fermi. This could dominate the electromagnetic properties of heavy leptons. The angular distribution and production cross sec...
