Deep sub-wavelength localization of light and sound in dielectric resonators

Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Alkim Bozkurt, Chaitali Joshi, Mohammad Mirhosseini, , | Summary: Optomechanical crystals provide coupling between phonons and photons by confining them to commensurate wavelength-scale dimensions. We present a new concept for designing optomechanical crystals capable of achieving unprecedented coupling rates by confining optical and mechanical waves to deep […]

Topological Graph-based Analysis of Solid-State Ion Migration

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Jimmy-Xuan Shen, Haoming Howard Li, Ann Rutt, Matthew K. Horton, Kristin A. Persson | Summary: To accelerate the development of novel ion-conducting materials, we present a general graph-theoretic analysis framework for ion migration in any crystalline structure. The nodes of the graph represent metastable sites of […]

X-ray morphology of cluster-mass haloes in self-interacting dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Xuejian Shen, Thejs Brinckmann, David Rapetti, Mark Vogelsberger, Adam Mantz | Summary: We perform cosmological zoom-in simulations of $19$ relaxed cluster-mass haloes with the inclusion of adiabatic gas within the cold dark matter (CDM) and self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models. These clusters are selected as dynamically […]

Precisely computing bound orbits of spinning bodies around black holes I: General framework and results for nearly equatorial orbits

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes, , , | Summary: Very large mass ratio binary black hole systems are of interest both as a clean limit of the two-body problem in general relativity, as well as for their importance as sources of low-frequency gravitational waves. At […]
