The knowledge of the hyperpolarizabilities of atoms and ions is helpful for the analysis of the high order effects of the frequency shifts in precision spectroscopy experiments. Liu et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 223001(2015)] proposed to establish all-optical trapped ion clocks using laser at the magic wavelength for clock transition. To evaluate the high-order frequency shifts in this new scheme of optical clocks, hyperpolarizabilities are needed, but absent. Using the finite field method based on the B-spline basis set and model potentials, we calculated the electric-field-dependent energy shifts of the ground and low-lying excited states in Be+, Mg+, and Ca+ in the field strength range of 0.0-6×10.5 a.u.. The scalar and tensor polarizabilities(α0, α2) and hyperpolarizabilities(γ0, γ2, γ4) were deduced. The results of the hyperpolarizabilities for Be+ showed good agreement with the values in literature, implying that the present method can be applied for the effective estimation of the atomic hyperpolarizabilities,which are rarely reported but needed in experiments. The feasibility of optical trapping of Ca+ is discussed, and the contributions of hyperpolarizabilities to the transition frequency shift for Ca+ in the optical dipole trap are estimated using quasi-electrostatic approximation.

We review our recent works on dynamics of magnetization in ferromagnet with spin-transfer torque. Driven by constant spin-polarized current, the spin-transfer torque counteracts both the precession driven by the effective field and the Gilbert damping term different from the common understanding. When the spin current exceeds the critical value, the conjunctive action of Gilbert damping and spin-transfer torque leads naturally the novel screw-pitch effect characterized by the temporal oscillation of domain wall velocity and width. Driven by space- and time-dependent spin-polarized current and magnetic field, we expatiate the formation of domain wall velocity in ferromagnetic nanowire. We discuss the properties of dynamic magnetic soliton in uniaxial anisotropic ferromagnetic nanowire driven by spin-transfer torque, and analyze the modulation instability and dark soliton on the spin wave background, which shows the characteristic breather behavior of the soliton as it propagates along the ferromagnetic nanowire. With stronger breather character, we get the novel magnetic rogue wave and clarify its formation mechanism. The generation of magnetic rogue wave mainly arises from the accumulation of energy and magnons toward to its central part. We also observe that the spin-polarized current can control the exchange rate of magnons between the envelope soliton and the background, and the critical current condition is obtained analytically.At last, we have theoretically investigated the current-excited and frequency-adjusted ferromagnetic resonance in magnetic trilayers. A particular case of the perpendicular analyzer reveals that the ferromagnetic resonance curves, including the resonant location and the resonant linewidth, can be adjusted by changing the pinned magnetization direction and the direct current. Under the control of the current and external magnetic field, several magnetic states, such as quasi-parallel and quasi-antiparallel stable states, out-of-plane precession, and bistable states can be realized.

The dynamic polarizabilities of the 7s and 6d states of Ra^+are calculated using a relativistic core polarization potential method.The magic wavelengths of the 7s_(1/2)–6d_(3/2,5/2)transitions are identified.Comparing to the common radiofrequency(RF) ion traps,using the laser field at the magic wavelength to trap the ion could suppress the frequency uncertainty caused by the micromotion of the ion,and would not affect the transition frequency measurements.The heating rates of the ion and the powers of the laser for the ion trapping are estimated,which would benefit the possible precision measurements based on all-optical trapped Ra+.
The B-spline configuration-interaction method is applied to the investigations of dynamic dipole polarizabilities for the four lowest triplet states(2~3S,3~3S,2~3P,and 3~3P) of the Li^+ ion.The accurate energies for the triplet states of n^3S,n^3P,and n^3D,the dipole oscillator strengths for 2~3S(3~3S)→n^3P,2~3P(3~3P)→n^3S,and 2~3P(3~3P)→n^3D transitions,with the main quantum number n up to 10 are tabulated for references.The dynamic dipole polarizabilities for the four triplet states under a wide range of photon energy are also listed,which provide input data for analyzing the Stark shift of the Li^+ ion.Furthermore,the tune-out wavelengths in the range from 100 nm to 1.2 μm for the four triplet states,and the magic wavelengths in the range from 100 nm to 600 nm for the 2~3S→3~3S,2~3S→2~3P,and 2~3S→3~3P transitions are determined accurately for the experimental design of the Li^+ ion.
Higgs type excitations are the excitations which give mass to particles.The Higgs type excitations has a critical role both in particle physics and condensed matter physics.In particle physics,the suspected Higgs boson has been found by the Large Hadron Collider(LHC)in 2012.In condensed matter physics,the Higgs type excitations relate to order phase of the system.In this review,we present an overview of recent studies on the Higgs type excitations both in non-interacting and interacting cold atom systems.First,in non-interacting cold atom system,by synthesizing artificial non-Abelian gauge potential,we demonstrate that when a nonAbelian gauge potential is reduced to Abelian potential,the Abelian part constructs spin-orbit coupling,and the non-Abelian part emerges Higgs excitations.Secondly,the Higgs excitations which are the reputed Higgs amplitude mode in interacting cold atom system are discussed.We review the theoretical model and the experimental detection of Higgs amplitude mode in two dimensional superfluid.The observation of both Higgs type excitations in real experiments are also discussed.
The optical conductivity of a trilayer graphene is studied using the Kubo-Greenwood formula. We calculate the real part of the diagonal optical conductivity of an ABA-stacked trilayer graphene with different Fermi energies. The optical conductivity arises from interband matrix elements of the electric current operator involving the transitions from the occupied states to the unoccupied ones. We study the dependence of the real part of the diagonal optical conductivity on the photon energy, and the role of the transitions.
The spin Hall and spin Nernst effects in graphene are studied based on Green's function formalism.We calculate intrinsic contributions to spin Hall and spin Nernst conductivities in the Kane-Mele model with various structures.When both intrinsic and Rashba spin-orbit interactions are present,their interplay leads to some characteristics of the dependence of spin Hall and spin Nernst conductivities on the Fermi level.When the Rashba spin-orbit interaction is smaller than intrinsic spin-orbit coupling,a weak kink in the conductance appears.The kink disappears and a divergence appears when the Rashba spin-orbit interaction enhances.When the Rashba spin-orbit interaction approaches and is stronger than intrinsic spin-orbit coupling,the divergence becomes more obvious.
We investigate the competing effects of spin–orbit coupling and electron–electron interaction on a kagome lattice at1/3 filling. We apply the cellular dynamical mean-field theory and its real-space extension combined with the continuous time quantum Monte Carlo method, and obtain a phase diagram including the effects of the interaction and the spin–orbit coupling at T = 0.1t, where T is the temperature and t is the hopping energy. We find that without the spin–orbit coupling,the system is in a semi-metal phase stable against the electron–electron interaction. The presence of the spin–orbit coupling can induce a topological non-trivial gap and drive the system to a topological insulator, and as the interaction increases, a larger spin–orbit coupling is required to reach the topological insulating phase.
We consider two coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations describing a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate with time-dependent atomic interactions loaded in an external harmonic potential,and investigate the dynamics of vector solitons.By using a direct method,we construct a novel family of vector soliton solutions,which are the linear combination between dark and bright solitons in each component.Our results show that due to the superposition between dark and bright solitons,such vector solitons possess many novel and interesting properties.The dynamics of vector solitons can be controlled by the Feshbach resonance technique,and the vector solitons can keep the dynamic stability against the variation of the scattering length.
