The Sizes of Quasar Host Galaxies with the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Junyao Li, John D. Silverman, Xuheng Ding, Michael A. Strauss, Andy Goulding | Summary: The relationship between quasars and their host galaxies provides clues on how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and massive galaxies are jointly assembled. To elucidate this connection, we measure the structural and photometric […]

Thermal anyon interferometry in phonon-coupled Kitaev spin liquids

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Kai Klocke, Joel E. Moore, Jason Alicea, Gábor B. Halász, | Summary: Recent theoretical studies inspired by experiments on the Kitaev magnet $alpha$-RuCl$_3$ highlight the nontrivial impact of phonons on the thermal Hall conductivity of chiral topological phases. Here we introduce mixed mesoscopic-macroscopic devices that allow […]

Design of a frequency-independent optic axis Pancharatnam-based achromatic half-wave plate

Kavli Affiliate: Nobuhiko Katayama | Summary:Pancharatnam-based achromatic half-wave plates (AHWP) achieve high polarization efficiency over a broad waveband. These AWHPs generally contain a property whereby the optic axis is dependent on the electromagnetic frequency of the incident radiation. When the AHWP is used to measure incident polarized radiation with a finite detection bandwidth, this frequency […]

Note: Vibronic coupling in light-harvesting complex II revisited

Kavli Affiliate: Graham Fleming | Summary:We discuss our recent theoretical work on vibronic coupling mechanisms in a model energy transfer system in the context of previous 2DEV experiments on a natural light-harvesting system, light-harvesting complex II (LHCII), where vibronic signatures were suggested to be involved in energy transfer. In this comparison, we directly assign the […]

Vibronic coupling in energy transfer dynamics and two-dimensional electronic-vibrational spectra

Kavli Affiliate: Graham Fleming | Summary:We introduce a heterodimer model in which multiple mechanisms of vibronic coupling and their impact on energy transfer can be explicitly studied. We consider vibronic coupling that arises through either Franck-Condon activity in which each site in the heterodimer has a local electron-phonon coupling and as Herzberg-Teller activity in which […]
