TOI-6692b: An eccentric 130 day period giant planet with a single transit from TESS

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | Summary:We report the discovery and characterization of TOI-6692 b, an eccentric (e~0.54) Jupiter on a 130-day orbit. TOI-6692 b was first detected as a community TESS Object of Interest (cTOI) by the Visual Survey Group and the Planet Hunters group as a single transit candidate via TESS observation. The period […]

Thermally-Activated Epitaxy of NbO

Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | Summary:We demonstrate a thermally-activated epitaxy window for the growth of NbO at temperatures exceeding 1000 $^o$C. NbO films grown in this mode display superior structural and transport properties, which are reproducible across a window of oxygen partial pressure. Through comprehensive analysis, we propose the prototypical electrical properties of NbO, for […]

Performance of a SuperCDMS HVeV Detector with Sub-eV Energy Resolution and Single Charge-sensitivity

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | Summary:We present a detailed characterization of a new generation of athermal-phonon single-charge sensitive Si HVeV detectors, the best of which achieved 589~meV~$pm$~5~meV baseline resolution. Our sub-eV energy resolution enables precise measurements of single-photon events and reveal consistent energy losses of 0.92~eV~$pm$~0.02~eV per charge excitation across two facilities. We demonstrate that […]

Collective Rabi-driven vibrational activation in molecular polaritons

Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | Summary:Molecular polaritons arise from electronic or vibrational strong coupling (ESC and VSC) with confined electromagnetic fields. While these have been widely studied, the influence of electron-nuclear dynamics in driven cavities remains largely unknown. Here, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism of vibrational activation that emerges under collective ESC in driven […]
