Dislocation and Indium Droplet Related Emission Inhomogeneities in InGaN LEDs

Posted by June 21, 2021Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Len van Deurzen, Mikel Gómez Ruiz, Kevin Lee, Henryk Turski, Shyam Bharadwaj | Summary: This report classifies emission inhomogeneities that manifest in InGaN quantum well blue light-emitting diodes grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on free-standing GaN substrates. By a combination of spatially resolved electroluminescence and cathodoluminescence […]

Imaging Generalized Wigner Crystal States in a WSe2/WS2 Moiré Superlattice

Posted by June 20, 2021Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Hongyuan Li, Shaowei Li, Emma C. Regan, Danqing Wang, Wenyu Zhao | Summary: The Wigner crystal state, first predicted by Eugene Wigner in 1934, has fascinated condensed matter physicists for nearly 90 years2-14. Studies of two-dimensional (2D) electron gases first revealed signatures of the Wigner crystal […]

Arrhenius.jl: A Differentiable Combustion SimulationPackage

Posted by klaurent June 19, 2021Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | First 5 Authors: Weiqi Ji, Xingyu Su, Bin Pang, Sean Joseph Cassady, Alison M. Ferris | Summary: Combustion kinetic modeling is an integral part of combustion simulation, and extensive studies have been devoted to developing both high fidelity and computationally affordable models. Despite these efforts, modeling combustion kinetics is still […]

Tuning acoustic impedance in load-bearing structures

Posted by June 19, 2021Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Sai Sharan Injeti, Paolo Celli, Kaushik Bhattacharya, Chiara Daraio, | Summary: Acoustic transparency is the capability of a medium to transmit mechanical waves to adjacent media, without scattering. This characteristic can be achieved by carefully engineering the acoustic impedance of the medium — a combination of wave […]

Demonstration of Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in $SO(N_c)$ Gauge Theories

Posted by klaurent June 18, 2021Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Csaba Csáki, Andrew Gomes, Hitoshi Murayama, Ofri Telem, | Summary: We demonstrate that $SO(N_{c})$ gauge theories with matter fields in the vector representation confine due to monopole condensation and break the $SU(N_{F})$ chiral symmetry to $SO(N_{F})$ via the quark bilinear. Our results are obtained by perturbing the […]

Temporal Evolution of Flow in Pore-Networks: From Homogenization to Instability

Posted by klaurent June 17, 2021Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Ahmad Zareei, Deng Pan, Ariel Amir, , | Summary: We study the dynamics of flow-networks in porous media using a pore-network model. First, we consider a class of erosion dynamics assuming a constitutive law depending on flow rate, local velocities, or shear stress at the walls. We […]

The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. III: Cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass halo

Posted by klaurent June 17, 2021Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Ji-hoon Kim, Loic Hausammann, Kentaro Nagamine, Johnny W. Powell | Summary: We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations to $z=4$ of a $10^{12},{rm M}_{odot}$ halo at $z=0$, obtained using seven contemporary astrophysical simulation codes widely used in the numerical galaxy formation community. Physics […]

GRUMPY: a simple framework for realistic forward-modelling of dwarf galaxies

Posted by June 17, 2021Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, Viraj Manwadkar, , , | Summary: We present a simple regulator-type framework designed specifically for modelling formation of dwarf galaxies. We explore sensitivity of model predictions for the stellar mass–halo mass and stellar mass–metallicity relations to different modelling choices and parameter values. Despite its simplicity, […]

Divergences in gravitational-wave emission and absorption from extreme mass ratio binaries

Posted by klaurent June 17, 2021MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Scott A. Hughes, Gaurav Khanna | Summary: A powerful technique to calculate gravitational radiation from binary systems involves a perturbative expansion: if the masses of the two bodies are very different, the "small" body is treated as a point particle […]

Unveiling a critical stripy state in the triangular-lattice SU(4) spin-orbital model

Posted by klaurent June 17, 2021UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Hui-Ke Jin, Rong-Yang Sun, Hong-Hao Tu, Yi Zhou, | Summary: The simplest spin-orbital model can host a nematic spin-orbital liquid state on the triangular lattice. We provide clear evidence that the ground state of the SU(4) Kugel-Khomskii model on the triangular lattice can be well described by […]
