Quasiballistic electron transport in cryogenic SiGe HBTs studied using an exact, semi-analytic solution to the Boltzmann equation

Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Nachiket R. Naik, Austin J. Minnich, , , | Summary: Silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) are of interest as low-noise microwave amplifiers due to their competitive noise performance and low cost relative to III-V devices. The fundamental noise performance limits of HBTs are thus of interest, […]

Linking the Singularities of Cosmological Correlators

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Wei-Ming Chen, Carlos Duaso Pueyo, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee | Summary: Much of the structure of cosmological correlators is controlled by their singularities, which in turn are fixed in terms of flat-space scattering amplitudes. An important challenge is to interpolate between the singular limits to […]

The Multiverse in an Inverted Island

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Kevin Langhoff, Chitraang Murdia, Yasunori Nomura, , | Summary: We study the redundancies in the global spacetime description of the eternally inflating multiverse using the quantum extremal surface prescription. We argue that a sufficiently large spatial region in a bubble universe has an entanglement island surrounding it. […]

Element-specific electronic and structural dynamics using transient X-ray spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Hanzhe Liu, Isabel M. Klein, Jonathan M. Michelsen, Scott K. Cushing, | Summary: Transient X-ray absorption techniques can measure ultrafast dynamics of the elemental edges in a material or multiple layer junction, giving them immense potential for deconvoluting concurrent processes. However, the interpretation of the photoexcited […]
