Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOT ‘EM) Survey. VI: Confirmation of a Long-Period Giant Planet Discovered with a Single TESS Transit

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | Summary:We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a $1.25^+0.08_-0.07~R_J$, $5.89pm0.26~M_J$ giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star at $dsimeq$ 122 pc. The planet was detected as a single-transit event in data from Sector 40 of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. Radial velocity (RV) observations of TOI-4465 […]

Hundreds of TESS exoplanets might be larger than we thought

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | Summary:The radius of a planet is a fundamental parameter that probes its composition and habitability. Precise radius measurements are typically derived from the fraction of starlight blocked when a planet transits its host star. The wide-field Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered hundreds of new exoplanets, but its low […]

First High-Throughput Evaluation of Dark Matter Detector Materials

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin Persson | Summary:We perform the first high-throughput search and evaluation of materials that can serve as excellent low-mass dark matter detectors. Using properties of close to one thousand materials from the Materials Project database, we project the sensitivity in dark matter parameter space for experiments constructed from each material, including both absorption […]

Pair density modulation from glide symmetry breaking and nematic superconductivity

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Stevan Nadj-Perge | Summary:Pair density modulation is a superconducting state, recently observed in exfoliated iron-based superconductor flakes, in which the superconducting gap oscillates strongly with the same periodicity as the underlying crystalline lattice. We propose a microscopic model that explains this modulation through a combination of glide-mirror symmetry breaking and the emergence of […]

Atomic layer etching of InGaAs using sequential exposures of atomic hydrogen and oxygen gas

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Minnich | Summary:The high frequency performance and yield of III-V semiconductor devices such as InP HEMTs is negatively impacted by subsurface etch damage and non-uniform etch depth over the wafer. Atomic layer etching (ALE) has the potential to overcome this challenge because of its ability to etch with Angstrom-scale precision, low damage, […]

Decoherence and fidelity enhancement during shuttling of entangled spin qubits

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Viatcheslav Dobrovitski | Summary:Shuttling of spin qubits between different locations is a key element in many prospective semiconductor systems for quantum information processing, but the shuttled qubits should be protected from decoherence created by time- and space-dependent noises. Since the paths of different spin qubits are interrelated, the noises acting on the shuttled […]

Tunable phase transitions from semimetals to Chern insulators in two-dimensional quadratic-band-crossing materials

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wen-Hao Bian, Wen-Hao Bian, , , | Summary: We systematically investigate how static symmetry-breaking perturbations and dynamic Floquet terms via a polarized light manipulate the topological phase transitions in the two-dimensional quadratic-band-crossing-point (QBCP) materials. The Berry curvature shows distinct behavior in such two situations. It is linearly […]
