Super-horizon resonant magnetogenesis during inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Misao Sasaki, Valeri Vardanyan, Vicharit Yingcharoenrat, , | Summary: We propose a novel mechanism for significantly enhancing the amplitude of primordial electromagnetic fields during inflation. Similar to existing proposals, our idea is based on parametric resonance effects due to conformal-symmetry-breaking coupling of the gauge field and the […]

Superconductivity in doped triangular Mott insulators: the roles of parent spin backgrounds and charge kinetic energy

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Zheng Zhu, Qianqian Chen, , , | Summary: We study the prerequisites for realizing superconductivity in doped triangular-lattice Mott insulators by considering three distinct parent spin backgrounds, i.e., $120^{circ}$ antiferromagnets, quantum spin liquid, and stripy antiferromagnets, and all possible sign combinations $(tau_1, tau_2)$ of nearest-neighbor hopping and […]

Freezing In Vector Dark Matter Through Magnetic Dipole Interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha, Anastasia Sokolenko, , | Summary: We study a simple model of vector dark matter that couples to Standard Model particles via magnetic dipole interactions. In this scenario, the cosmological abundance arises through the freeze-in mechanism and depends on the dipole coupling, the vector […]

Current-induced switching of thin film $α$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ devices imaged using a scanning single-spin microscope

Kavli Affiliate: Katja C. Nowack | First 5 Authors: Qiaochu Guo, Anthony D’Addario, Yang Cheng, Jeremy Kline, Isaiah Gray | Summary: Electrical switching of N’eel order in an antiferromagnetic insulator is desirable as a basis for memory applications. Unlike electrically-driven switching of ferromagnetic order via spin-orbit torques, electrical switching of antiferromagnetic order remains poorly understood. […]

Testing the mean field theory of scalar field dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Andrew Eberhardt, Alvaro Zamora, Michael Kopp, Tom Abel, | Summary: Scalar field dark matter offers an interesting alternative to the traditional WIMP dark matter picture. Astrophysical and cosmological simulations are useful to constraining the mass of the dark matter particle in this model. This is particularly true […]

A machine learning based approach towards high-dimensional mediation analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Caffo, Martin Lindquist | Authors: Tanmay Nath, Brian Caffo, Tor Wager and Martin Lindquist | Summary: Abstract Mediation analysis is used to investigate the role of intermediate variables (mediators) that lie in the path between an exposure and an outcome variable. While significant research has focused on developing methods for assessing the […]
