Chandra/LETGS Studies of the Collisional Plasma in 4U 1626-67

Kavli Affiliate: Norbert S. Schulz | First 5 Authors: Paul B. Hemphill, Norbert S. Schulz, Herman M. Marshall, Deepto Chakrabarty, | Summary: We present an analysis of chandra/LETGS observations of the ultracompact X-ray binary (UCXB) 4U 1626$-$67, continuing our project to analyze the existing Chandra gratings data of this interesting source. The extremely low mass, […]

The origin of chirality induced spin selectivity in photo-induced electron transfer

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Thomas P. Fay, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: Here we propose a mechanism by which spin polarization can be generated dynamically in chiral molecular systems undergoing photo-induced electron transfer. The proposed mechanism explains how spin polarization emerges in systems where charge transport is dominated […]

Measuring the spins of heavy binary black holes

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Sylvia Biscoveanu, Maximiliano Isi, Vijay Varma, Salvatore Vitale, | Summary: An accurate and precise measurement of the spins of individual merging black holes is required to understand their origin. While previous studies have indicated that most of the spin information comes from the inspiral part of the […]

Semiorthogonal decompositions for categorical Donaldson-Thomas theory via $Θ$-stratifications

Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yukinobu Toda, , , , | Summary: We show the existence of semiorthogonal decompositions of Donaldson-Thomas categories for $(-1)$-shifted cotangent derived stacks associated with $Theta$-stratifications on them. Our main result gives an analogue of window theorem for categorical DT theory, which has applications to d-critical analogue of […]

Categorical Donaldson-Thomas theory for local surfaces: $mathbb{Z}/2$-periodic version

Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yukinobu Toda, , , , | Summary: We prove two kinds of $mathbb{Z}/2$-periodic Koszul duality equivalences for triangulated categories of matrix factorizations associated with $(-1)$-shifted cotangents over quasi-smooth affine derived schemes. We use this result to define $mathbb{Z}/2$-periodic version of Donaldson-Thomas categories for local surfaces, whose $mathbb{C}^{ast}$-equivariant […]

Quasiballistic electron transport in cryogenic SiGe HBTs studied using an exact, semi-analytic solution to the Boltzmann equation

Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Nachiket R. Naik, Austin J. Minnich, , , | Summary: Silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) are of interest as low-noise microwave amplifiers due to their competitive noise performance and low cost relative to III-V devices. The fundamental noise performance limits of HBTs are thus of interest, […]

Linking the Singularities of Cosmological Correlators

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Wei-Ming Chen, Carlos Duaso Pueyo, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee | Summary: Much of the structure of cosmological correlators is controlled by their singularities, which in turn are fixed in terms of flat-space scattering amplitudes. An important challenge is to interpolate between the singular limits to […]

The Multiverse in an Inverted Island

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Kevin Langhoff, Chitraang Murdia, Yasunori Nomura, , | Summary: We study the redundancies in the global spacetime description of the eternally inflating multiverse using the quantum extremal surface prescription. We argue that a sufficiently large spatial region in a bubble universe has an entanglement island surrounding it. […]

Element-specific electronic and structural dynamics using transient X-ray spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Hanzhe Liu, Isabel M. Klein, Jonathan M. Michelsen, Scott K. Cushing, | Summary: Transient X-ray absorption techniques can measure ultrafast dynamics of the elemental edges in a material or multiple layer junction, giving them immense potential for deconvoluting concurrent processes. However, the interpretation of the photoexcited […]
