Modeling the Galaxy Distribution in Clusters using Halo Cores

Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey Bleem | First 5 Authors: Danila Korytov, Esteban Rangel, Lindsey Bleem, Nicholas Frontiere, Salman Habib | Summary: The galaxy distribution in dark matter-dominated halos is expected to approximately trace the details of the underlying dark matter substructure. In this paper we introduce halo `core-tracking’ as a way to efficiently follow the small-scale […]

Variational Tensor Wavefunctions for the Interacting Quantum Spin Hall Phase

Kavli Affiliate: Shenghan Jiang | First 5 Authors: Yixin Ma, Shenghan Jiang, Chao Xu, , | Summary: The quantum spin hall (QSH) phase, also known as the 2D topological insulator, is characterized by protected helical edge modes arising from time reversal symmetry. While initially proposed for band insulators, this phase can also manifest in strongly-correlated […]

Variational Tensor Wavefunctions for the Interacting Quantum Spin Hall Phase

Kavli Affiliate: Shenghan Jiang | First 5 Authors: Yixin Ma, Shenghan Jiang, Chao Xu, , | Summary: The quantum spin hall (QSH) phase, also known as the two-dimensional topological insulator, hosts helical edge modes protected by time-reversal symmetry. While first proposed as a band insulator, this phase can also be realized in strongly-correlated systems, where […]

$g$-mode of neutron stars in pseudo-Newtonian gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Hong-Bo Li, Yong Gao, Lijing Shao, Renxin Xu, | Summary: The equation of state (EOS) of nuclear dense matter plays a crucial role in many astrophysical phenomena associated with neutron stars (NSs). Fluid oscillations are one of the most fundamental properties therein. NSs support a family of […]

Rydberg Excitons and Trions in Monolayer MoTe$_2$

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Souvik Biswas, Aurélie Champagne, Jonah B. Haber, Supavit Pokawanvit, Joeson Wong | Summary: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors exhibit strong excitonic optical resonances which serve as a microscopic, non-invasive probe into their fundamental properties. Like the hydrogen atom, such excitons can exhibit an entire Rydberg […]
