1基础物理及宇宙学的疑难问题

报告人:李惕碚 院士

时间:7月18日(周二)10:00

单位:中国科学院高能物理研究所

地点:化学楼C305

在建立相对论的过程中,由于混淆了时空与位形时空,低估了局域相对论的局限性,爱因斯坦对于物理学时空框架等基本问题说过一些过头话。这些说法,虽然爱因斯坦生前曾经反复地进行过自我质疑,并在与友人的通信中部分地作了改正,却被其后的主流学界奉为教条,视为物理学理论的基础和理论发展的出发点。上世纪90年代以来,微波背景辐射、宇宙膨胀加速及并合黑洞引力波的观测结果挑战了对物理学基本问题(如背景时空、惯性参照系、时空弯曲与能量守恒等)的主流认识。重新审视这些基本问题,有助于更清楚地理解物理理论的基础框架,更合理地构建宇宙学的物理基础,从而对宇宙的构成、起源与归宿问题给出完全另类于标准模型的回答。观测和分析黑洞天体及宇宙真空的演化过程将对涉及物理学及宇宙学基础的争议作出最终判断。

2 Spin, Charge and Heat Transport in Low-Dimensional Materials

报告人:Chun Ning (Jeanie) Lau

时间:7月18日(周二)10:00

单位:北京大学

地点:Room w563, Physics building, Peking University

Two dimensional materials constitute an exciting and unusually tunable platform for investigation of both fundamental phenomena and electronic applications. Here I will present our results on transport measurements on high mobility few-layer graphene and phosphorene devices. Using quantum Hall effects in graphene as injectors, filters and detectors, we observe robust long distance spin transport through the antiferromagnetic state in graphene. In the second half of the talk, I will present our recent results on quantum Hall effect in air-stable, few-layer phosphorene devices, and the current carrying capacity of carbon nanotubes.

3Combine Light and Tips – Advanced Techniques to Investigate Ordering in Complex Oxides Systems

报告人:Qing (Helen) He,Durham University

时间:7月18日(周二)10:00

单位:北京师范大学

地点:物理楼106

Complex phenomena in solids continue to be a major theme of physics in the 21st century. Competing charge, spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom leads to new electronic, magnetic and structural phases in strongly correlated electron systems. They have great potential to fundamentally change our view of the physical world, to significantly impact the technology, and to provide new solutions to our energy problems. The elevated complexity of physics requires sophisticated experimental tools beyond the traditional thermodynamic and transport measurements to be applied in research. As a common theme of the related materials, the rich interplay between orders in the materials calls for the combination of different techniques sensitive to different physical entities to reach a complete understanding of the physical properties. In this talk, I will start stories from the introduction of two advanced techniques: scanning probe microscopy and soft x-ray absorption based techniques (spectroscopy, scattering, microscopy, etc.) and bring you through their special approaches to investigate the electronic, magnetic and structural states in several interesting complex oxide systems.

The basic structure of the canonical general relativity will be reminded: the vector and hamiltonian constraints, methods of constructing Dirac observables. New results on a reference system related to an observer and geometry will be presented. The tools of canonical Loop Quantum Gravity will be introduced: spin-networks, solutions of vector constraints, quantum scalar constraint operators and their solutions.

6Control of Spectra and Photon Correlation in Mesoscopic & Quantum Plasmonic Systems

报告人:Dr. Raymond Ooi, Faculty of Science Universiti Malaya

时间:7月18日(周二)16:00

单位:中国科学院物理研究所

地点:M830
In this talk I will share my recent research works, mainly theoretical, involving photon-atom interactions that connect the fields of quantum optics, nonlinear optics, nanoplasmonics, nonclassical photon correlations, quantum coherence and entanglement for quantum information and communications, I will focus the topics of the spectra and correlations of mesoscopic particles composed of 4-level quantum particles in double Raman scheme. Quantum Langevin formalism with noise operators is used to describe the field operators of photon pairs (Stokes and anti-Stokes fields) emitted by a mesoscopic spherical particle . The spectra of the fields and photon correlation obtained are sensitive to the dimension of the microsphere and can be controlled by pump and control laser fields. Spectral peaks due to quantum coherence are Stark shifted by the laser fields experiencing autofocusing inside the spherical particle, causing broadening of peaks as the size of the microsphere increases. Next, I will discuss a quantum system (QS) of three-level L scheme near a metallic particle (MP) system. At near field separation, we find giant gain and absorption that are controllable by laser direction, polarization and ellipticity, enhanced by plasmonic effect. I show how the spectra depends on interparticle distance and position/direction of detector. Finally, I will discuss some proposed topics to work on.

7Theory of Strain Phase Separation: Temperature-Strain-Domain Diagrams

报告人:Long-Qing Chen,The Pennsylvania State University

时间: 7月19日(周三)10:00

单位:北京师范大学

地点:物理楼106

Phase decomposition is a well-known process leading to the formation of two-phase mixtures with different compositions. Here we show that a strain imposed on a ferroelastic crystal promotes the formation of mixed phases and domains, i.e., leading to domain and phase de-strain process, with local strains determined by the uniform stress condition that can be graphically represented by a common tangent construction on the free energy versus strain curves. It is demonstrated that a domain structure can be understood using the concepts of domain/phase rule, lever rule, coherent and incoherent de-strain, and strain spinodal within the de-strain model description, in complete analogy to phase decomposition. The proposed de-strain model is tested and validated using phase-field simulations and experimental observations of PbTiO3 and BiFeO3 thin films as examples. The de-strain model provides a simple thermodynamic tool to guide and design domain structures of ferroelastic systems or the microstructures of a crystal separating to a mixture of two phases with different densities or molar volumes.

8The Electromagnetic Radiation and Gravitational Waves from the First Black Holes 

报告人:Yuexing Cindy Li,Penn State University

时间: 7月19日(周三)10:00

单位:北京大学

地点:KIAA First floor meeting room

The discovery of a population of luminous quasars at high redshift z ~ 6 indicates the existence of supermassive black holes of billions of solar masses within the first billion years after the Big Bang. The origin and nature of these supermassive black holes, however, remain an unsolved puzzle. I will present new results of the growth of the first massive black holes and their properties in a full electromagnetic – gravitational wave spectrum, by combining multi-scale cosmological simulations, multi-wavelength radiative transfer, and multi-phase gravitational waveform calculations. We find that efficient angular momentum transport by gravitational torques is critical to black hole accretion and star formation in the host galaxies, and that the final black hole mass depends strongly on the seed mass and radiative efficiency. Interestingly, super-critical accretion failed to produce billion-solar-masses black holes by z ~ 6 from small seeds of 10 – 100 solar masses, contrast to suggestions in the literature. Furthermore, we find that future telescopes in electromagnetic-spectrum such as JWST may only detect massive galaxies up to z~15, but space- and ground-based gravitational waves detectors such as LISA and the Big Bang Observatory can detect signals from mergers of black holes down to 10 Msun beyond z~20, offering a powerful tool to study structure formation at the end of the cosmic dark ages.

9Indirect Search Aspects of Right Handed Neutrinos

报告人:高宇,中科院高能所粒子天体中心

时间: 7月20日(周四)15:30

单位:中国科学院理论物理研究所

地点:新楼6620报告厅
A beyond the Standard Model neutrino sector can give arise to both Dark Matter candidates and mechanisms that explains the origin of the finite neutrino masses. When the dark matter hails from the neutrino sector, its annihilation and decay can be differentiated from those of typical weakly interacting candidate, giving unique signals in high energy cosmic ray observations, like Fermi-LAT and IceCube. In this talk I will discuss two topics: (1) how the combination of direct and indirect search results can differentiate a neutrino-originated dark matter from a `conventional' WIMP dark matter in the content of a popular supersymmetric U(1)' model;(2) in light of light right-handed neutrino(s), the constraint on the associated dark matter's scattering cross-section from Solar gamma ray and neutrino measurements, which can be very competitive to direct detection results over a significant range of dark matter mass. I will also comment on the current collider bounds on the right-handed neutrino properties.

10Emergent Electronic Orders in Iron-Based Superconductors

报告人:仪鸣, University of California, Berkeley

时间: 7月21日(周五)10:00

单位:中国科学院物理研究所

地点:M238会议室

Exotic electronic orders abound in the vicinity of high temperature superconductivity, providing a hotbed of quantum fluctuations that have been theoretically proposed to enhance superconductivity. In the first part of the talk, I will give an overview of the various symmetry-breaking electronic orders that have been discovered in the iron-based superconductors over the past decade, with a focus on the experimental evidence of the pervasive electronic nematic phase and its coupling to the orbital and spin degrees of freedom. In the second part of the talk, I will present very recent experimental evidence for a newly discovered charge order in the iron-pnictides ubiquitous on the hole-doped side close to the regime of optimal superconductivity. In doing so, it is revealed that high temperature superconductivity in iron-pnictides appears in a fantastically rich regime where all four fundamental degrees of freedom are actively entangled.
