Massively Parallel Computation of Accurate Densities for N-body Dark Matter Simulations using the Phase-Space-Element Method

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Kaehler | First 5 Authors: Ralf Kaehler, , , , | Summary: This paper presents an accurate density computation approach for large dark matter simulations, based on a recently introduced phase-space tessellation technique and designed for massively parallel, heterogeneous cluster architectures. We discuss a memory efficient construction of an oct-tree structure to […]

Imbibition triggered by capillary condensation in nanopores

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Abraham Stroock | First 5 Authors: Olivier Vincent, Bastien Marguet, Abraham Stroock, , | Summary: We study the spatio-temporal dynamics of water uptake by capillary condensation from unsaturated vapor in mesoporous silicon layers (pore radius $r_mathrm{p} simeq 2$ nm), taking advantage of the local changes in optical reflectance as a function of water […]

A pair of Calabi-Yau manifolds from a two parameter non-Abelian gauged linear sigma model

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Kentaro Hori | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Hori, Johanna Knapp, , , | Summary: We construct and study a two parameter gauged linear sigma model with gauge group $(U(1)^2times O(2))/{mathbb Z}_2$ that has a dual model with gauge group $(U(1)^2times SO(4))/{mathbb Z}_2$. The model has two geometric phases, three hybrid phases and one […]

Hyper-Selective Plasmonic Color Filters

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | First 5 Authors: Dagny Fleischman, Luke Sweatlock, Hirotaka Murakami, Harry Atwater, | Summary: The subwavelength mode volumes of plasmonic filters are well matched to the small size of state-of-the-art active pixels (~ 1 {mu}m) in CMOS image sensor arrays used in portable electronic devices. Typical plasmonic filters exhibit broad (> […]

Wavelet-Based Characterization of Small-Scale Solar Emission Features at Low Radio Frequencies

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Goeke | First 5 Authors: Akshay Suresh, Rohit Sharma, Divya Oberoi, Srijan B. Das, Victor Pankratius | Summary: Low radio frequency solar observations using the Murchison Widefield Array have recently revealed the presence of numerous weak, short-lived and narrow-band emission features, even during moderately quiet solar conditions. These non-thermal features occur at […]
