Title: Optical spectra and intensities of graphene magnetic dot bound to a negatively charged Coulomb impurity

Abstract

Employing numerical diagonalization, we study the optical properties of an electron in a monolayer-graphene magnetic dot bound to an off-center negatively charged Coulomb impurity based on the massless Dirac-Weyl model. Numerical results show that, since the electron-hole symmetry is broken by the Coulomb potential, the optical absorption spectra of the magnetic dot in the presence of a Coulomb impurity are different between the electron states and the hole states. Effects of both the magnetic field and the dot size on the absorption coefficient are presented as functions of the incident photon energies.

    We describe a proposal for fast electron-spin initialization in a negatively charged quantum dot coupled to a microcavity without the need for a strong magnetic field. We employ two-photon excitation to access trion states that are spin forbidden by one-photon excitation. Our simulation shows a maximum initialization speed of 1.3 GHz and maximum fidelity of 99.7% with realistic system parameters.

    Heme orientation with respect to the membrane normal has been measured for the cytochromes c and c/sub 2/ bound to photosynthetic reaction centers from Rhodobacter (rhodopseudomonas) sphaeroides R-26 in reconstituted phosphatidylcholine vesicles. Previous kinetic studies have suggested that each cytochrome may bind in two configurations, which lead to either rapid or slow electron transfer to the flash-oxidized reaction center bacteriochlorophyll dimer. The rapid oxidation of cytochrome c is approx.20-fold slower than that of cytochrome c/sub 2/. Optical linear dichroism measurements reported here show that, for both cytochromes, only the population undergoing rapid oxidation is dichroic. A stoichiometry of 0.5 dichroicmore » cytochrome c or c/sub 2/ is found per reaction center. Prominent differences between the dichroism of the cytochrome c/sub 2/-reaction center complex and that of the cytochrome c-reaction center complex show that heme orientation differs in the two cases. The dichroism of cytochrome c bound to the reaction center can be distinguished from its dichroism when bound to the surface of negatively charged membranes. Analysis of the dichroism spectra suggests that, for cytochrome c/sub 2/, the heme is tilted 7/sup 0/-8/sup 0/ closer to the membrane normal and rotated by 32/sup 0/ compared to the cytochrome c-reaction center complex. The dichroism spectra are consistent with the notion that the site on the cytochrome c surface that binds to the reaction center is the same site that binds to mammalian cytochrome c oxidase and reductase. However, a different locus is implicated on the surface of cytochrome c/sub 2/. These data suggest that although the tertiary structures of the cytochromes are homologous, the bind site is not conserved.« less

    First-principles calculations of the geometry and electronic structure of the impurity center in SrTi{sub 1-x}Mn{sub x}O{sub 3} have been performed. Neutral and negatively charged defects are considered. It is found that the doubly charged impurity center is polar; it has C{sub 4v} symmetry and electronic state {sup 4}B{sub 1} with electron polaron localized at one of the neighboring titanium atoms. It is shown that this state is due to the spontaneous breaking of the defect local symmetry: O{sub h}({sup 4}A{sub 1g}) {yields} D{sub 4h}({sup 4}B{sub 1g}) {yields} C{sub 4{nu}}({sup 4}B{sub 1}).
