Coherent Magneto-Conductance Oscillations in Amorphous Topological Insulator Nanowires

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Siddhant Mal, Elizabeth J. Dresselhaus, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: Recent experiments on amorphous materials have established the existence of surface states similar to those of crystalline three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs). Amorphous topological insulators are also independently of interest for thermo-electric and other properties. To […]

Tidally distorted stars are triaxial pulsators

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Jim Fuller, Saul Rappaport, Rahul Jayaraman, Don Kurtz, Gerald Handler | Summary: Stars in close binaries are tidally distorted, and this has a strong effect on their pulsation modes. We compute the mode frequencies and geometries of tidally distorted stars using perturbation theory, accounting for the effects […]

Diffusive dynamics of charge regulated macro-ion solutions

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Rudolf Podgornik | First 5 Authors: Bin Zheng, Shigeyuki Komura, David Andelman, Rudolf Podgornik, | Summary: Onsager’s variational principle is generalized to address the diffusive dynamics of an electrolyte solution composed of charge-regulated macro-ions and counterions. The free energy entering the Rayleighian corresponds to the Poisson-Boltzmann theory augmented by the charge-regulation mechanism. The […]

Cancelling mod-2 anomalies by Green-Schwarz mechanism with $B_{μν}$

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Shota Saito, Yuji Tachikawa, , , | Summary: We study if and when mod-2 anomalies can be canceled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism with the introduction of an antisymmetric tensor field $B_{munu}$. As explicit examples, we examine $SU(2)$ and more general $Sp(n)$ gauge theories in four and eight […]
