• Abstract: In this work we analyze the effects of the application of an external electric field in the formation of a local magnetic moment in silicene. By adding an impurity in a top site in the host lattice and computing the real and imaginary part of the self-energy of the impurity energy level, the polarized density of states is used in order to obtain the occupation number of the up and down spin formation in the impurity considering the mean field approximation. Unequal occupation numbers is the precursor of a formation of a local magnetic moment and this depends critically on the Hubbard parameter, the on-site energy of the impurity, the spin-orbit interaction in silicene and the electric field applied. In particular, it is shown that in the absence of electric field, the boundary between the magnetic and non-magnetic phases increases with the spin-orbit interaction with respect to graphene with a top site impurity and shrinks and narrows it when the electric field is turned on. The electric field effect is studied for negative and positive on-site impurity energies generalizing the results obtained in the literature for graphene.

  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

• Divergent absorption from spin-orbit interaction in distorted Landau levels [0.0]
  Effect of spin-orbit (and Darwin) interaction on a 2D electron gas subject to a radial, inhomogeneous $1/r$-magnetic field is discussed analytically. Numerical calculation of the absorptive spin-orbit spectra show for an ideal InSb electron gas a behaviour that is dominated by the localized (atomic) part of the distorted Landau levels. We show analytically the emergence of a discrete Rydberg-like band structure that obeys these symmetry properties.

  In the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect, interference fringes are observed for a charged particle in the absence of the local overlap with the external electromagnetic field. This notion of the apparent nonlocality of the interaction or the significant role of the potential has recently been challenged and are under debate. The quantum electrodynamic approach provides a microscopic picture of the characteristics of the interaction between a charge and an external field.

  We introduce a new technique to model and eliminate dipole moment interactions limiting the performance of sensors employing levitated objects. As a demonstration, this is applied to the search for unknown charges of a magnitude much below that of an electron. As a by-product of the technique, the electromagnetic properties of the levitated objects can also be measured on an individual basis.

  We find that the degeneracy of Landau levels, which arises in the case of the constant magnetic field, lifts out when the field is variable. Also the varying magnetic field splits Landau levels of electrons with zero angular momentum from positive angular momentum, unlike the constant field which only can split the levels between positive and negative angular momenta.
