Terahertz phonon engineering with van der Waals heterostructures

Posted by klaurent October 7, 2023Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crommie | Summary:Phononic engineering at gigahertz (GHz) frequencies form the foundation of microwave acoustic filters, acousto-optic modulators, and quantum transducers. Terahertz (THz) phononic engineering could lead to acoustic filters and modulators at higher bandwidth and speed, as well as quantum circuits operating at higher temperatures. Despite its potential, methods for engineering THz […]

Entanglement transition in rod packings

Posted by dbos October 7, 2023Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Yeonsu Jung, Thomas Plumb-Reyes, Hao-Yu Greg Lin, L. Mahadevan, | Summary: Random packings of stiff rods are self-supporting mechanical structures stabilized by long range interactions induced by contacts. To understand the geometrical and topological complexity of the packings, we deploy X-ray computerized tomography to unveil the structure […]
