Resolving the FU Ori System with ALMA: Interacting Twin Disks?

Kavli Affiliate: David Principe | First 5 Authors: Sebastián Pérez, Antonio Hales, Hauyu Baobab Liu, Zhaohuan Zhu, Simon Casassus | Summary: FU Orionis objects are low-mass pre-main sequence stars characterized by dramatic outbursts of several magnitudes in brightness. These outbursts are linked to episodic accretion events in which stars gain a significant portion of their […]

Effect of Rough Walls on Transport in Mesoscopic $^3$He Films

Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak M. Parpia | First 5 Authors: Priya Sharma, Antonio Corcoles, R. G. Bennett, Jeevak M. Parpia, Brian Cowan | Summary: The interplay of bulk and boundary scattering is explored in a regime where quantum size effects modify mesoscopic transport in a degenerate Fermi liquid film of $^3$He on a rough surface. We […]

Large depth-of-field tracking of colloidal spheres in holographic microscopy by modeling the objective lens

Kavli Affiliate: Vinothan Manoharan | First 5 Authors: Brian Leahy, Ronald Alexander, Caroline Martin, Solomon Barkley, Vinothan Manoharan | Summary: Holographic microscopy has developed into a powerful tool for 3D particle tracking, yielding nanometer-scale precision at high frame rates. However, current particle tracking algorithms ignore the effect of the microscope objective on the formation of […]

Observation of spin-momentum locked surface states in amorphous Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$

Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Crystalline symmetries have played a central role in the identification of topological materials. The use of symmetry indicators and band representations have enabled a classification scheme for crystalline topological materials, leading to large scale topological materials discovery. In this work we […]

Modification of electron-phonon coupling by micromachining and suspension

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Roukes | First 5 Authors: Olli-Pentti Saira, Matthew H. Matheny, Libin Wang, Jukka Pekola, Michael Roukes | Summary: Weak electron-phonon interaction in metals at low temperatures forms the basis of operation for cryogenic hot-electron bolometers and calorimeters. Standard power laws, describing the heat flow in the majority of experiments, have been identified […]

Minimal Warm Inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Kim V. Berghaus, Peter W. Graham, David E. Kaplan, , | Summary: Slow-roll inflation is a successful paradigm. However we find that even a small coupling of the inflaton to other light fields can dramatically alter the dynamics and predictions of inflation. As an example, the […]
