Giant anisotropic band flattening in twisted $Γ$ valley semiconductor bilayers

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Huan Wang, Zhaochen Liu, Yadong Jiang, Jing Wang, | Summary: We propose a general theory of anisotropic band flattening in moir’e systems at the $Gamma$ valley. For a two-dimensional semiconductor with a rectangular unit cell of $C_{2z}$ or mirror symmetries, we find that a larger effective mass […]

Recent Advances in Metasurface Design and Quantum Optics Applications with Machine Learning, Physics-Informed Neural Networks, and Topology Optimization Methods

Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Wenye Ji, Jin Chang2, He-Xiu Xu, Jian Rong Gao, Simon Gröblacher | Summary: As a two-dimensional planar material with low depth profile, a metasurface can generate non-classical phase distributions for the transmitted and reflected electromagnetic waves at its interface. Thus, it offers more flexibility to control the […]

A Large and Variable Leading Tail of Helium in a Hot Saturn Undergoing Runaway Inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Michael Gully-Santiago, Caroline V. Morley, Jessica Luna, Morgan MacLeod, Antonija Oklopčić | Summary: Atmospheric escape shapes the fate of exoplanets, with statistical evidence for transformative mass loss imprinted across the mass-radius-insolation distribution. Here we present transit spectroscopy of the highly irradiated, low-gravity, inflated hot Saturn HAT-P-67 b. […]
