Anomalous superconducting diode effect in a polar superconductor

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Robert Kealhofer, Hanbyeol Jeong, Arman Rashidi, Leon Balents, Susanne Stemmer | Summary: A superconductor with broken time reversal and inversion symmetry may exhibit nonreciprocal charge transport, including a nonreciprocal critical current, also known as superconducting diode effect. We report an intrinsic superconducting diode effect in a polar […]

Deciphering Lyman-$α$ Emission Deep into the Epoch of Reionisation

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Callum Witten, Nicolas Laporte, Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Debora Sijacki, Yuxuan Yuan | Summary: During the epoch of reionisation the first galaxies were enshrouded in pristine neutral gas, with one of the brightest emission lines in star-forming galaxies, Lyman-$alpha$ (Ly$alpha$), expected to remain undetected until the Universe became ionised. […]

Deciphering Lyman-$α$ Emission Deep into the Epoch of Reionisation

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Callum Witten, Nicolas Laporte, Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Debora Sijacki, Yuxuan Yuan | Summary: A major event in cosmic history is the genesis of the first starlight in our Universe, ending the ”Dark Ages”. During this epoch, the earliest luminous sources were enshrouded in neutral and pristine gas, which […]

PhaBOX: A web server for identifying and characterizing phage contigs in metagenomic data

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Jiayu Shang, Cheng Peng, Herui Liao, Xubo Tang, Yanni Sun | Summary: Motivation: There is accumulating evidence showing the important roles of bacteriophages (phages) in regulating the structure and functions of the microbiome. However, lacking an easy-to-use and integrated phage analysis software hampers microbiome-related research from incorporating […]

A diffuse scattering model of ultracold neutrons on wavy surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: S. Imajo, H. Akatsuka, K. Hatanaka, T. Higuchi, G. Ichikawa | Summary: Metal tubes plated with nickel-phosphorus are used in many fundamental physics experiments using ultracold neutrons (UCN) because of their ease of fabrication. These tubes are usually polished to a average roughness of 25-150 nm. However, […]

Visualizing the atomic-scale origin of metallic behavior in Kondo insulators

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Harris Pirie, Eric Mascot, Christian E. Matt, Yu Liu, Pengcheng Chen | Summary: A Kondo lattice is often electrically insulating at low temperatures. However, several recent experiments have detected signatures of bulk metallicity within this Kondo insulating phase. Here we visualize the real-space charge landscape […]

Constraint on Early Dark Energy from Isotropic Cosmic Birefringence

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Johannes R. Eskilt, Laura Herold, Eiichiro Komatsu, Kai Murai, Toshiya Namikawa | Summary: Polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is sensitive to new physics violating parity symmetry, such as the presence of a pseudoscalar "axionlike" field. Such a field may be responsible for early dark energy […]
