Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Colin DeGraf, Debora Sijacki, Tiziana Di Matteo, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Greg Snyder | Summary: With projects such as Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and Pulsar Timing Arrays expected to detect gravitational waves from supermassive black hole mergers in the near future, it is key that we understand what […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Dimas G. de Oteyza, Alejandro Pérez Paz, Yen-Chia Chen, Zahra Pedramrazi, Alexander Riss | Summary: We investigate the thermally-induced cyclization of 1,2 – bis(2 – phenylethynyl)benzene on Au(111) using scanning tunneling microscopy and computer simulations. Cyclization of sterically hindered enediynes is known to proceed via two […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Kushagra Aggarwal, Andrea Hofmann, Daniel Jirovec, Ivan Prieto, Amir Sammak | Summary: Hole gases in planar germanium can have high mobilities in combination with strong spin-orbit interaction and electrically tunable g-factors, and are therefore emerging as a promising platform for creating hybrid superconductor-semiconductor devices. A key challenge […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiaki Hikage | First 5 Authors: Takahiko Matsubara, Chiaki Hikage, Satoshi Kuriki, , | Summary: The second-order formula of Minkowski functionals in weakly non-Gaussian fields is compared with the numerical $N$-body simulations. Recently, weakly non-Gaussian formula of Minkowski functionals is extended to include the second-order effects of non-Gaussianity in general dimensions. We apply […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Lucas A. Cieza, Camilo González-Ruilova, Antonio S. Hales, Paola Pinilla, Dary Ruíz-Rodríguez | Summary: We present 1.3 mm continuum ALMA long-baseline observations at 3-5 au resolution of 10 of the brightest discs from the Ophiuchus DIsc Survey Employing ALMA (ODISEA) project. We identify a total of […]
