Strain-Induced Relaxor Multiferroicity at Room Temperature in Hexaferrite BaFe12O19 Thin Films

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:Multiferroic materials that combine magnetic and electric order at room temperature are rare. Here, we demonstrate strain-induced room-temperature polar order in the ferrimagnetic hexaferrite BaFe12O19. First-principles calculations reveal a strain-tunable energy landscape with multiple competing dipolar configurations and predict that compressive strain favors polar distortions. Using an isostructural Sr1.03Ga10.81Mg0.58Zr0.58O19 substrate, […]

Diagonalized Attention for Individualized Regression: Latent-Row Localization and Prediction

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Long| Summary: Modern text and image representations are often matrix-valued, with rows corresponding to tokens, patches, or other local feature vectors. Predictive information is often sparse but sample-specific, making classical sparse regression methods with a common support poorly suited to this heterogeneity. This paper formalizes an individualized sparse regression framework for matrix-valued […]

Polymer-free Assembly of Unencapsulated van der Waals Heterostructure Devices

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | Summary:Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures provide a versatile platform for exploring emergent quantum phenomena, yet their fabrication is often limited by interfacial contamination and incompatibility with surface-sensitive characterization. Here, we demonstrate muscovite mica as a polymer-free platform for assembling and patterning vdW heterostructure devices. Mica-mediated transfer enables clean exposed surfaces […]

Flux Density Calibration of Radio Bursts Detected in the Sidelobes of the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Masui | Summary:The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment/Fast Radio Burst (CHIME/FRB) instrument is a transient astrophysical burst survey that is discovering FRBs, pulsars, and long-period transients. As a transit telescope, the survey is most sensitive within 2 degrees of the meridian; however, CHIME/FRB can detect bright astrophysical bursts out to its horizon, […]

Cause of chromospheric opposite polarity intrusions discovered in Sunrise III/SCIP data: MURaM-ChE simulations point to twisted flux ropes

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | Summary:The Sunrise Chromospheric Infrared spectroPolarimeter (SCIP) instrument onboard the balloon-borne Sunrise III observatory provided new high-resolution observations of the solar chromosphere in the Ca II 854.2 nm line. The Stokes-V signal in magnetic network regions was found to show fine-structured details, which suggests the magnetic field above the network elements […]

From IFS Maps to 3D Structure I: Constraining Geometry in the Circumgalactic Medium

Kavli Affiliate: Hsiaowen Chen |Summary:The three-dimensional geometric structure of the cool (T~$10^4$ K) circumgalactic medium (CGM) — the line-of-sight depth and the number of discrete clumps — is poorly constrained. Existing inferences come predominantly from quasar absorption-line statistics, but these pencil-beam probes provide limited spatial and kinematic information. Here we show that spatially resolved emission-line […]

Free-Free Radio Emission from Little Red Dots as a Probe of Ionized Gas

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | Summary:Recent studies have hypothesized that little red dots (LRDs) are rapidly accreting black holes surrounded by dense gaseous environments. Both neutral and ionized gas play a key role in explaining many of the puzzling spectral features of LRDs, including the emission line profiles in the optical-infrared bands, although the physical […]

Engineering Weak Universality with Quantum Dots

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | Summary:Quantum critical theories with continuously varying critical exponents remain challenging to access experimentally. Here, we propose quantum-dot architectures for realizing the quantum Ashkin-Teller and XYZ/eight-vertex models using resonator-mediated and direct Coulomb interactions, respectively. We focus on the Ashkin-Teller and eight-vertex critical lines, which are connected by a non-local duality relating […]
