The Secret Higgstory of the Highest Temperature during Reheating

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Samuel Passaglia, Wayne Hu, Andrew J. Long, David Zegeye, | Summary: We study the role of the Standard Model Higgs condensate, formed during cosmological inflation, in the epoch of reheating that follows. We focus on the scenario where the inflaton decays slowly and perturbatively, so that there […]

Stress tensor mesostructures for freeform shaping of thin substrates

Kavli Affiliate: Youwei Yao | First 5 Authors: Youwei Yao, Brandon Chalifoux, Ralf Heilmann, Mark Schattenburg, | Summary: Stress-induced shaping, which deforms thin substrates utilizing stressed surface coatings, has enabled and enhanced a host of applications in past decades. Owing to the touchless fabrication process compatible with modern planar technology, the method has been applied […]

Directional excitation of a high-density magnon gas using coherently driven spin waves

Kavli Affiliate: Toeno Van Der Sar | First 5 Authors: Brecht G. Simon, Samer Kurdi, Helena La, Iacopo Bertelli, Joris J. Carmiggelt | Summary: Controlling magnon densities in magnetic materials enables driving spin transport in magnonic devices. We demonstrate the creation of large, out-of-equilibrium magnon densities in a thin-film magnetic insulator via microwave excitation of […]
