Structural, optical, and thermal properties of BN thin films grown on diamond via pulsed laser deposition

Posted by dbos Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Abhijit Biswas, Gustavo A. Alvarez, Tao Li, Joyce Christiansen-Salameh, Eugene Jeong | Summary: Heterostructures based on ultrawide-bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors (bandgap >4.0 eV), boron nitride (BN) and diamond are important for next-generation high-power electronics. However, in-situ hetero-epitaxy of BN/diamond or vice-versa remains extremely challenging, due to their non-trivial […]

Transferable screened range-separated hybrid functionals for electronic and optical properties of van der Waals materials

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: María Camarasa-Gómez, Ashwin Ramasubramaniam, Jeffrey B. Neaton, Leeor Kronik, | Summary: The accurate description of electronic properties and optical absorption spectra is a long-standing challenge for density functional theory. Recently, the introduction of screened range-separated hybrid (SRSH) functionals for solid-state materials has allowed for the calculation […]

Interplay between finite thickness and chirality effects on the Casimir-Lifshitz torque with nematic cholesteric liquid crystals

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Rudolf Podgornik | First 5 Authors: Wijnand Broer, Rudolf Podgornik, , , | Summary: We theoretically investigate the combined effects of the chirality and the finite total thickness of nematic cholesteric liquid crystals on the Casimir-Lifshitz torque. We find that, the larger the thickness, the more sinusoidal the angular dependence of the torque […]

Incomplete inverse problem for Dirac operator with constant delay

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Chuan-Fu Yang | Summary: In this work, we consider Dirac-type operators with a constant delay less than two-fifths of the interval and not less than one-third of the interval. For our considered Dirac-type operators, an incomplete inverse spectral problem is studied. Specifically, when two complex […]

Unveiling the small-scale jets in the rapidly growing supermassive black hole IZw1

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiaolong Yang, Su Yao, Luigi C. Gallo, Jun Yang, Luis C. Ho | Summary: Accretion of black holes at near-Eddington or super-Eddington rates is the most powerful episode that drives black hole growth, and it may work in several types of objects. However, the physics of accretion […]
