Sex chromosome gene expression associated with vocal learning following hormonal manipulation in female zebra finches

Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Matthew Davenport, Ha Na Choe, Hiroaki Matsunami and Erich D Jarvis | Summary: Zebra finches are sexually dimorphic vocal learners. Males learn to sing by imitating mature conspecifics, but females do not. Absence of song in females is associated with atrophy and apparent repression of several vocal learning brain […]

Germanium wafers for strained quantum wells with low disorder

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Alberto Tosato, Davide Degli Esposti, Davide Costa, Menno Veldhorst | Summary: We grow strained Ge/SiGe heterostructures by reduced-pressure chemical vapor deposition on 100 mm Ge wafers. The use of Ge wafers as substrates for epitaxy enables high-quality Ge-rich SiGe strain-relaxed buffers with a […]

Extreme mass-ratio inspiral of a spinning body into a Kerr black hole I: Evolution along generic trajectories

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Lisa V. Drummond, Alexandra G. Hanselman, Devin R. Becker, Scott A. Hughes, | Summary: The study of spinning bodies moving in curved spacetime has relevance to binary black hole systems with large mass ratios, as well as being of formal interest. At zeroth order in a […]

Colloquium: Quantum and Classical Discrete Time Crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Michael P. Zaletel, Mikhail Lukin, Christopher Monroe, Chetan Nayak, Frank Wilczek | Summary: The spontaneous breaking of time translation symmetry has led to the discovery of a new phase of matter – the discrete time crystal. Discrete time crystals exhibit rigid subharmonic oscillations, which result from a […]

Dynamical structure factor and a new method to measure the pairing gap in two-dimensional attractive Fermi-Hubbard model

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Huaisong Zhao, Peng Zou, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: By calculating the dynamical structure factor along the high symmetry directions in the Brillouin zone, the dynamical excitations of attractive Fermi-Hubbard model in a two-dimensional square optical lattice are studied with random phase approximation. {Two kinds of collective […]

Magnetic field stabilized Wigner crystal states in a graphene moiré superlattice

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Guorui Chen, Ya-Hui Zhang, Aaron Sharpe, Zuocheng Zhang, Shaoxin Wang | Summary: Wigner crystals are predicted as the crystallization of the dilute electron gas moving in a uniform background when the electron-electron Coulomb energy dominates the kinetic energy. The Wigner crystal has previously been observed in the […]
