Modeling parity-violating spectra in Galactic dust polarization with filaments and its applications to cosmic birefringence searches

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Carlos Hervías-Caimapo, Ari J. Cukierman, Patricia Diego-Palazuelos, Kevin M. Huffenberger, Susan E. Clark | Summary: We extend the dust-filament-based model presented in Herv’ias-Caimapo & Huffenberger 2022 to produce parity-violating foreground spectra by manipulating the filament orientations relative to the magnetic field. We calibrate our model to […]

Ferromagnetism Mechanism in a Geometrically Frustrated Triangular Lattice

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Qianqian Chen, Shuai A. Chen, Zheng Zhu, , | Summary: We study the emergent itinerant ferromagnetism and propose its underlying mechanism in the geometrically frustrated triangular lattice. Based on large-scale density matrix renormalization group simulations and unrestricted Hartree-Fock mean-field analysis, we identify itinerant ferromagnetic phases in the […]

Doping Dependence of Spin-Momentum Locking in Bismuth-Based High-Temperature Cuprate Superconductors

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | First 5 Authors: Hailan Luo, Kayla Currier, Chiu-Yun Lin, Kenneth Gotlieb, Ryo Mori | Summary: Non-zero spin orbit coupling has been reported in several unconventional superconductors due to the absence of inversion symmetry breaking. This contrasts with cuprate superconductors, where such interaction has been neglected for a long time. The […]

Investigating the competition between the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions in light of the multimessenger observations of neutron stars

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Wen-Li Yuan, Bikai Gao, Yan Yan, Bolin Li, Renxin Xu | Summary: We extend the parity doublet model for hadronic matter and study the possible presence of quark matter inside the cores of neutron stars with the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Considering the uncertainties of the QCD phase […]
