Kavli Affiliate: Zhigang Suo | First 5 Authors: Manyuan Tao, Shawn Lavoie, Zhigang Suo, Maria K. Cameron, | Summary: A polymer network fractures by breaking covalent bonds, but the experimentally measured strength of the polymer network is orders of magnitude lower than the strength of covalent bonds. We investigate the effect of statistical variation of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger Romani | First 5 Authors: Ajay Ratheesh, Michal Dovčiak, Henric Krawczynski, Jakub Podgorný, Lorenzo Marra | Summary: Large, energy-dependent X-ray polarisation is observed in 4U 1630-47, a black hole in an X-ray binary, in the high-soft emission state. In this state, X-ray emission is believed to be dominated by a thermal, geometrically […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | First 5 Authors: Ajay Ratheesh, Michal Dovčiak, Henric Krawczynski, Jakub Podgorný, Lorenzo Marra | Summary: Large energy-dependent X-ray polarization degree is detected by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer ({IXPE}) in the high-soft emission state of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630–47. The highly significant detection (at $approx50sigma$ confidence level) […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Abhijit Biswas, Rui Xu, Gustavo A. Alvarez, Jin Zhang, Joyce Christiansen-Salameh | Summary: Understanding the emergent electronic structure in twisted atomically thin layers has led to the exciting field of twistronics. However, practical applications of such systems are challenging since the specific angular correlations between the layers […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Jonathan Schwartz, Zichao Wendy Di, Yi Jiang, Jason Manassa, Jacob Pietryga | Summary: Measuring the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of chemistry in nanoscale matter is a longstanding challenge for metrological science. The inelastic scattering events required for 3D chemical imaging are too rare, requiring high beam exposure that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xinan Zhou | First 5 Authors: Junding Chen, Xinan Zhou, , , | Summary: We study three-point correlation functions of scalar operators in conformal field theories with boundaries and interfaces. We focus on two cases where there are one bulk and two boundary operators (B$partialpartial$), or two bulk and one boundary operators (BB$partial$). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenxuan Wang, Jing Wang, Chen Chen, Jianbo Jiao, Yuanxiu Cai | Summary: The research community has witnessed the powerful potential of self-supervised Masked Image Modeling (MIM), which enables the models capable of learning visual representation from unlabeled data. In this paper, to incorporate both the crucial global […]
Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, , , , | Summary: We study critical properties of a Majorana chain in the presence of two competing interactions of the shortest possible range. The obtained phase diagram is very rich and contains nine different phases, including three floating, two Ising, and four gapped […]
