Atomic-resolution spectroscopic imaging of ensembles of nanocatalyst particles across the life of a fuel cell

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Lena Fitting Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Huolin L. Xin, Julia A. Mundy, Zhongyi Liu, Randi Cabezas, Robert Hovden | Summary: The thousandfold increase in data-collection speed enabled by aberration-corrected optics allows us to overcome an electron microscopy paradox – how to obtain atomic-resolution chemical structure in individual nanoparticles, yet record a statistically […]

Measuring the spatial extent of individual localized photonic states

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Kobus Kuipers | First 5 Authors: Marko Spasenovic, Daryl M. Beggs, Philippe Lalanne, Thomas F. Krauss, L. | Summary: We measure the spatial extent of individual localized photonic states in a slow-light photonic crystal waveguide. The size of the states is measured by perturbing each state individually through a local electromagnetic interaction with […]

A photonic crystal nanocavity laser in an optically very thick slab

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Axel Scherer | First 5 Authors: Se-Heon Kim, Jingqing Huang, Axel Scherer, , | Summary: A photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavity formed in an optically very thick slab can support reasonably high-Q modes for lasing. Experimentally, we demonstrate room-temperature pulsed lasing operation from the PhC dipole mode emitting at 1324 nm, which is fabricated […]

Suzaku Observations of 4U 1957+11: Potentially the Most Rapidly Spinning Black Hole in (the Halo of) the Galaxy

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Norbert Schulz | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Nowak, Joern Wilms, Katja Pottschmidt, Norbert Schulz, Dipankar Maitra | Summary: We present three Suzaku observations of the black hole candidate 4U 1957+11 (V1408 Aql) — a source that exhibits some of the simplest and cleanest examples of soft, disk-dominated spectra. 4U 1957+11 also presents […]

Ion association in low-polarity solvents: comparisons between theory, simulation, and experiment

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Jos W. Zwanikken | First 5 Authors: Chantal Valeriani, Philip J. Camp, Jos W. Zwanikken, René van Roij, Marjolein Dijkstra | Summary: The association of ions in electrolyte solutions at very low concentration and low temperature is studied using computer simulations and quasi-chemical ion-pairing theory. The specific case of the restricted primitive model […]

The Creation and Propagation of Radiation: Fields Inside and Outside of Sources

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: John W. Belcher | First 5 Authors: Stanislaw Olbert, John W. Belcher, Richard H. Price, , | Summary: We present a new algorithm for computing the electromagnetic fields of currents inside and outside of finite current sources, for arbitrary time variations in the currents. Unexpectedly, we find that our solutions for these fields […]
