Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Yuya Ominato, Daigo Oue, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: Angular momentum conversion between mechanical rotation and the valley degree of freedom in 2D Dirac materials is investigated theoretically. Coupling between the valley and vorticity of dynamic lattice distortions is derived by applying the k.p method to 2D […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Joolee Son, Suhan Son, Pyeongjae Park, Maengsuk Kim, Zui Tao | Summary: Ferromagnetism in two-dimensional materials presents a promising platform for the development of ultrathin spintronic devices with advanced functionalities. Recently discovered ferromagnetic van der Waals crystals such as CrI$_{3}$, readily isolated two-dimensional crystals, are highly tunable […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Zeng-Zhao Li, Liwen Ko, Zhibo Yang, Mohan Sarovar, K. Birgitta Whaley | Summary: We study the interplay between two environmental influences on excited state energy transfer in photosynthetic light harvesting complexes, namely, vibrationally assisted energy transfer(VAET) and environment-assisted quantum transport (ENAQT), considering a dimeric chromophore donor-acceptor […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, T. A. Sedrakyan, , , | Summary: We consider Lifshitz criticalities with dynamical exponent $z=2$ that emerge in a class of topological chains. There, such a criticality plays a fundamental role in describing transitions between symmetry-enriched conformal field theories (CFTs). We report that, at such […]

Aggarwal | Summary: This paper reports a study of $B to K^{*}gamma$ decays using $62.8pm 0.6$ fb$^{-1}$ of data collected during 2019–2020 by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB $e^{+}e^{-}$ asymmetric-energy collider, corresponding to $(68.2 pm 0.8) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nobuhiko Katayama | Summary:The polarization modulator unit for the low-frequency telescope in LiteBIRD employs an achromatic half-wave plate (AHWP). It consists of five layers of a-cut sapphire plate, which are stacked based on a Pancharatnam recipe. In this way, the retardance of the AHWP is a half-wave over a bandwidth of 34-161 GHz. […]

It consists of five layers of a-cut sapphire plate, which are stacked based on a Pancharatnam recipe. In this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rebecca Masterson | Summary:The REgolith X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) instrument on board NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu is a Class-D student collaboration experiment designed to detect fluoresced X-rays from the asteroid’s surface to measure elemental abundances. In July and November 2019 REXIS collected ~615 hours of integrated exposure time of Bennu’s […]

Binzel, Branden Allen, David Guevel, Jonathan Grindlay | Summary: The REgolith X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) instrument on board NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu is a Class-D student collaboration experiment designed to detect fluoresced X-rays from the asteroid’s surface to measure elemental […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Hong-Chen Jiang, Brian Moritz, Thomas P. Devereaux, Chunjing Jia | Summary: The recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has drawn considerable attention; however, a consensus on the fundamental building blocks and common ingredients necessary to understand and describe their ground states and emergent properties […]
