On the Physical Nature of Ly$α$ Transmission Spikes in High Redshift Quasar Spectra

Posted by dbos Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Hanjue Zhu, Nickolay Gnedin, Camille Avestruz, , | Summary: We investigate Lyman-alpha (Ly$alpha$) transmission spikes at $5.2 < z < 6.8$ using synthetic quasar spectra from the “Cosmic Reionization On Computers" simulations. We focus on understanding the relationship between these spikes and the properties of the intergalactic […]

Electric field-induced nonreciprocal spin current due to chiral phonons in chiral-structure superconductors

Posted by dbos January 9, 2024UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Dapeng Yao, Mamoru Matsuo, Takehito Yokoyama, , | Summary: The recent experiment [R. Nakajima, et al., Nature 613, 479 (2023)] has reported a pair of oppositely polarized spins under an alternating electric current in a superconductor with a chiral structure. However, these behaviors cannot be explained by […]
