Epitaxial Sc$_x$Al$_{1-x}$N on GaN is a High K Dielectric

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Joseph Casamento, Hyunjea Lee, Takuya Maeda, Ved Gund, Kazuki Nomoto | Summary: Epitaxial Sc$_x$Al$_{1-x}$N thin films of ~100 nm thickness grown on metal polar GaN exhibit significantly enhanced relative dielectric permittivity ($epsilon_r$) values relative to AlN. $epsilon_r$ values of ~17 to 21 for Sc contents of 17 […]

A convergent inflation hierarchy for quantum causal structures

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Laurens T. Ligthart, Mariami Gachechiladze, David Gross, , | Summary: A causal structure is a description of the functional dependencies between random variables. A distribution is compatible with a given causal structure if it can be realized by a process respecting these dependencies. Deciding whether a distribution […]

Evidence from Disrupted Halo Dwarfs that $r$-process Enrichment via Neutron Star Mergers is Delayed by $gtrsim500$ Myrs

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Rohan P. Naidu, Alexander P. Ji, Charlie Conroy, Ana Bonaca, Yuan-Sen Ting | Summary: The astrophysical origins of $r$-process elements remain elusive. Neutron star mergers (NSMs) and special classes of core-collapse supernovae (rCCSNe) are leading candidates. Due to these channels’ distinct characteristic timescales (rCCSNe: prompt, NSMs: […]

First Doppler Limits on Binary Planets and Exomoons in the HR 8799 System

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Andrew Vanderburg, Joseph E. Rodriguez, , , | Summary: We place the first constraints on binary planets and exomoons from Doppler monitoring of directly imaged exoplanets. We model radial velocity observations of HR 8799 b, c, and d from Ruffio et al. (2021) and determine upper limits […]

Amplification of Primordial Perturbations from the Rise or Fall of the Inflaton

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Keisuke Inomata, Evan McDonough, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: The next generation of cosmic microwave background, gravitational wave, and large scale structure, experiments will provide an unprecedented opportunity to probe the primordial power spectrum on small scales. An exciting possibility for what lurks on small scales is […]

An Arbitrary Scale Super-Resolution Approach for 3D MR Images via Implicit Neural Representation

Kavli Affiliate: Yawen Sun | First 5 Authors: Qing Wu, Yuwei Li, Yawen Sun, Yan Zhou, Hongjiang Wei | Summary: High Resolution (HR) medical images provide rich anatomical structure details to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis. In MRI, restricted by hardware capacity, scan time, and patient cooperation ability, isotropic 3D HR image acquisition typically requests […]

Gemini/GMOS Transmission Spectroscopy of the Grazing Planet Candidate WD 1856+534 b

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Siyi Xu, Hannah Diamond-Lowe, Ryan J. MacDonald, Andrew Vanderburg, Simon Blouin | Summary: WD 1856+534 b is a Jupiter-sized, cool giant planet candidate transiting the white dwarf WD 1856+534. Here, we report an optical transmission spectrum of WD 1856+534 b obtained from ten transits using the Gemini […]
