Gate-tunable artificial nucleus in graphene

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Mykola Telychko, Keian Noori, Hillol Biswas, Dikshant Dulal, Pin Lyu | Summary: We report an atomically-precise integration of individual nitrogen (N) dopant as an in-plane artificial nucleus in a graphene device by atomic implantation to probe its gate-tunable quantum states and correlation effects. The N dopant […]

Scintillation Timescales of Bright FRBs Detected by CHIME/FRB

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | First 5 Authors: Eve Schoen, Calvin Leung, Kiyoshi Masui, Daniele Michilli, Pragya Chawla | Summary: We describe a pipeline to measure scintillation in fast radio bursts (FRBs) detected by CHIME/FRB in the 400-800 MHz band by analyzing the frequency structure of the FRB’s spectrum. We use the pipeline to measure […]
