• Title: Spin-orbit coupling in organic microcavities: Lower polariton splitting, triplet polaritons, and disorder-induced dark-states relaxation
• Authors: M. Ahsan Zeb, Shoaib Masood
• Abstract summary: We study the effect of the spin-orbit coupling between the singlet and the triplet molecular excitons in organic microcavities. We find that the spin-orbit coupling splits the lower polariton into two branches, and also creates a triplet polariton when the cavity mode is in resonance with the triplet excitons.

• Abstract: Using an extended Tavis-Cummings model, we study the effect of the spin-orbit coupling between the singlet and the triplet molecular excitons in organic microcavities in the strong coupling regime. The model is solved in the single excitation space for polaritons, which contains the bright (permutation symmetric) singlet and triplet excitons, as well as the dark bands consisting of the nonsymmetric excitons of either type. We find that the spin-orbit coupling splits the lower polariton into two branches, and also creates a triplet polariton when the cavity mode is in resonance with the triplet excitons. The optical absorption spectrum of the system that can reveal this splitting in experiments is presented and the effect of disorder in exciton energies and couplings is explored. An important consequence of the disorder in the spin-orbit coupling -- a weak coupling between the otherwise decoupled bright and dark sectors -- is explored and detailed calculations of the squared transition matrix elements between the dark bands and polaritons are presented along with derivation of some approximate yet quite accurate analytical expressions. This relaxation channel for the dark states contains an interference between two transition paths that, for a given polariton state, suppresses the relaxation of one dark band and enhances it for the other.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

  We study systematically the role of temperature in the optical response of doped two-dimensional semiconductors. By making use of a finite-temperature Fermi-polaron theory, we reveal a crossover from a quantum-degenerate regime with well-defined polaron quasiparticles to an incoherent regime at high temperature or low doping.

  We investigate the polaronic properties of a single impurity immersed in a bosonic environment confined within a one-dimensional double-well potential. We find that an increase of the impurity-bath coupling results in a vanishing residue. These residue regimes are characterized by two critical values of the bosonic repulsion and originate from the interplay between the intra- and the interband excitations of the impurity.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
