DFT-based many-body analysis of electron transport through molecules

Kavli Affiliate: Joseph M. Thijssen | First 5 Authors: Fatemeh Mirjani, Joseph M. Thijssen, , , | Summary: We present a method which uses density functional theory (DFT) to treat transport through a single molecule connected to two conducting leads for the weak and intermediate coupling. This case is not accessible to standard non-equilibrium Green’s […]

Probing dark energy and neutrino mass from upcoming lensing experiments of CMB and galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Shun Saito, Atsushi Taruya, , | Summary: We discuss the synergy of the cosmic shear and CMB lensing experiments to simultaneously constrain the neutrino mass and dark energy properties. Taking fully account of the CMB lensing, cosmic shear, CMB anisotropies, and their cross correlation signals, […]

Structure and Evolution of Pre-Main Sequence Stars

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | First 5 Authors: Norbert S. Schulz, Glenn Allen, Mark W. Bautz, Claude C. Canizares, John Davis | Summary: Low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars are strong and variable X-ray emitters, as has been well established by EINSTEIN and ROSAT observatories. It was originally believed that this emission was of thermal nature […]

LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson, Bob Abel, Emily Acosta | Summary: (Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a single wide-deep-fast sky survey, […]
