Imaging Quantum Interference in Stadium-Shaped Monolayer and Bilayer Graphene Quantum Dots

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Zhehao Ge, Dillon Wong, Juwon Lee, Frederic Joucken, Eberth A. Quezada-Lopez | Summary: Experimental realization of graphene-based stadium-shaped quantum dots (QDs) have been few and incompatible with scanned probe microscopy. Yet, direct visualization of electronic states within these QDs is crucial for determining the existence of […]

Converging pathways found in copy number variation syndromes with high schizophrenia risk

Kavli Affiliate: David Linden | Authors: Friederike Ehrhart, Ana Silva, Therese Amelsvoort, Emma von Scheibler, Chris Evelo and David E.J. Linden | Summary: Schizophrenia genetics is complex, and the contribution of common and rare variants are not fully understood. Several specific copy number variations (CNVs) confer increased risk for schizophrenia, and the study of their […]

An Isotropy Measurement with Gravitational Wave Observations

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Reed Essick, Will M. Farr, Maya Fishbach, Daniel E. Holz, Erik Katsavounidis | Summary: We constrain the distribution of merging compact binaries across the celestial sphere using the GWTC-3 catalog from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborations’ (LVK) third observing run. With 63 confident detections from O3, we constrain […]

Direct detection of dark photon dark matter using radio telescopes

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haipeng An, Shuailiang Ge, Wen-Qing Guo, Xiaoyuan Huang, Jia Liu | Summary: Dark photon can be the ultralight dark matter candidate, which can interact with the Standard Model particles via the kinetic mixing. We propose to look for ultralight dark photon dark matter (DPDM) with local absorption […]
