High-Throughput Detection and Manipulation of Single Nitrogen-Vacancy Center’s Charge in Nanodiamonds

Posted by klaurent September 29, 2019Oxford

Kavli Affiliate: Achillefs Kapanidis | Summary:The fluorescent nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond has remarkable photophysical properties, including high photostability, which allows stable fluorescence emission for hours; as a result, there has been much interest in using nanodiamonds (NDs) for quantum optics and biological imaging. Such applications have been limited by the complexity and heterogeneity of […]

Electric-Double-Layer-Modulation Microscopy

Posted by klaurent September 27, 2019Oxford

Kavli Affiliate: Philipp Kukura | Summary:The electric double layer (EDL) formed around charged nanostructures at the liquid-solid interface determines their electrochemical activity and influences their electrical and optical polarizability. We experimentally demonstrate that restructuring of the EDL at the nanoscale can be detected by dark-field scattering microscopy. Temporal and spatial characterization of the scattering signal […]

The extended D-Toda hierarchy

Posted by klaurent September 27, 2019Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | Summary:In a companion paper to this one, we proved that the Gromov–Witten theory of a Fano orbifold line of type $D$ is governed by a system of Hirota Bilinear Equations. The goal of this paper is to prove that every solution to the Hirota Bilinear Equations determines a solution to […]

Ramanujan’s influence on string theory, black holes and moonshine

Posted by September 25, 2019Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey A. Harvey | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey A. Harvey, , , , | Summary: Ramanujan influenced many areas of mathematics, but his work on q-series, on the growth of coefficients of modular forms, and on mock modular forms stands out for its depth and breadth of applications. I will give a brief […]

On Deflection of Solar Coronal Mass Ejections by the Ambient Coronal Magnetic Field Configuration

Posted by klaurent September 13, 2019Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | Summary:Solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are sometimes deflected during their propagation. This deflection may be the consequence of interaction between a CME and a coronal hole or the solar wind. We analyze 44 halo-CMEs whose deflection angle exceeds 90 degrees. The coronal magnetic field configuration is computed from daily […]

Ultrafast long-range energy transport via light-matter coupling in organic semiconductor films

Posted by klaurent September 7, 2019Oxford

Kavli Affiliate: Philipp Kukura | Summary:The formation of exciton-polaritons allows the transport of energy over hundreds of nanometres at velocities up to 10^6 m s^-1 in organic semiconductors films in the absence of external cavity structures. | Search Query: arXiv Query: search_query=au:”Kukura Philipp”&id_list=&start=0&max_results=10Read More

Surface Reconstruction Limited Conductivity in Block-Copolymer Li Battery Electrolytes

Posted by klaurent September 5, 2019Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Wiesner | Summary:Solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries promise improvements in safety and energy density if their conductivity can be increased. Nanostructured block copolymer electrolytes specifically have the potential to provide both good ionic conductivity and good mechanical properties. This study shows that the previously neglected nanoscale composition of the polymer electrolyte […]

Catalogues of Active Galactic Nuclei From Gaia and unWISE Data

Posted by klaurent September 4, 2019Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | Summary:We present two catalogues of active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates selected from the latest data of two all-sky surveys — Data Release 2 (DR2) of the emphGaia mission and the unWISE catalogue of the emphWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (emphWISE). We train a random forest classifier to predict the probability […]
