The Scenario Culture

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Ralph | First 5 Authors: Edward Wheatcroft, Henry Wynn, Chris J. Dent, Jim Q. Smith, Claire L. Copeland | Summary: Scenario Analysis is a risk assessment tool that aims to evaluate the impact of a small number of distinct plausible future scenarios. In this paper, we provide an overview of important aspects […]

Role of Element-Specific Damping on the Ultrafast, Helicity-Independent All-Optical Switching Dynamics in Amorphous (Gd,Tb)Co Thin Films

Kavli Affiliate: Amal El-Ghazaly | Summary:Ultrafast control of the magnetization in ps timescales by fs laser pulses offers an attractive avenue for applications such as fast magnetic devices for logic and memory. However, ultrafast helicity-independent all-optical switching (HI-AOS) of the magnetization has thus far only been observed in Gd-based, ferrimagnetic amorphous (textita-) rare earth-transition metal […]

Pressure-induced superconductivity in topological type II Dirac semimetal NiTe2

Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh |Summary:Very recently, NiTe2 has been reported to be a type II Dirac semimetal with Dirac nodes near the Fermi surface. Furthermore, it is unveiled that NiTe2 presents the Hall Effect, which is ascribed to orbital magnetoresistance. The physical properties behavior of NiTe2 under high pressure attracts us. In this paper, […]

Perturbation theory for the redshift-space matter power spectra after reconstruction

Kavli Affiliate: Chiaki Hikage | Summary:We derive the one-loop perturbative formula of the redshift-space matter power spectrum after density field reconstruction in the Zeldovich approximation. We find that the reconstruction reduces the amplitudes of nonlinear one-loop perturbative terms significantly by partially erasing the nonlinear mode-coupling between density and velocity fields. In comparison with N-body simulations, […]

Language Grounding through Social Interactions and Curiosity-Driven Multi-Goal Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | Summary:Autonomous reinforcement learning agents, like children, do not have access to predefined goals and reward functions. They must discover potential goals, learn their own reward functions and engage in their own learning trajectory. Children, however, benefit from exposure to language, helping to organize and mediate their thought. We propose LE2 […]
