Item Open Access Ground-state properties, vortices, and collective excitations in a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate with gravitylike interatomic attraction(The American Physical Society, 2008) Keleş, A.; Sevinçli, S.; Tanatar, BilalWe study the ground-state properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate with short-range repulsion and gravitylike 1/r interatomic attraction in two-dimensions (2D). Using the variational approach we obtain the ground-state energy and analyze the stability of the condensate for a range of interaction strengths in 2D. We also determine the collective excitations at zero temperature using the time-dependent variational method. We analyze the properties of the Thomas-Fermi-gravity and gravity regimes, and we examine the vortex states, finding the coherence length and monopole mode frequency for these regimes. Our results are compared and contrasted with those in 3D condensates.Item Open Access Hybridization of fano and vibrational resonances in surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy of streptavidin monolayers on metamaterial substrates(2014) Alici, K. B.We present spectral hybridization of organic and inorganic resonant materials and related bio-sensing mechanism. We utilized a bound protein (streptavidin) and a Fano-resonant metasurface to illustrate the concept. The technique allows us to investigate the vibrational modes of the streptavidin and how they couple to the underlying metasurface. This optical, label-free, nonperturbative technique is supported by a coupled mode-theory analysis that provides information on the structure and orientation of bound proteins. We can also simultaneously monitor the binding of analytes to the surface through monitoring the shift of the metasurface resonance. All of this data opens up interesting opportunities for applications in biosensing, molecular electronics and proteomics. © 2014 IEEE.
