A Mechanically Tunable Quantum Dot in a Graphene Break Junction

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Sabina Caneva, Matthijs D. Hermans, Martin Lee, Amador Garcia-Fuente, Kenji Watanabe | Summary: Graphene quantum dots (QDs) are intensively studied as platforms for the next generation of quantum electronic devices. Fine tuning of the transport properties in monolayer graphene QDs, in particular with respect to the independent […]

A two-sided Faulhaber-like formula involving Bernoulli polynomials

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: Fernando Barbero G., Juan Margalef-Bentabol, Eduardo J. S. VillaseƱor, , | Summary: We give a new identity involving Bernoulli polynomials and combinatorial numbers. This provides, in particular, a Faulhaber-like formula for sums of the form $1^m (n-1)^m + 2^m (n-2)^m + cdots + (n-1)^m 1^m$ for […]

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: SZ-based masses and dust emission from IR-selected cluster candidates in the SHELA survey

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Brittany J. Fuzia, Lalitwadee Kawinwanichakij, Nicola Mehrtens, Simone Aiola, Nicholas Battaglia | Summary: We examine the stacked thermal Sunyaev-Zeltext{‘}dovich (SZ) signals for a sample of galaxy cluster candidates from the Spitzer-HETDEX Exploratory Large Area (SHELA) Survey, which are identified in combined optical and infrared SHELA data using […]

Design of a multi-channel photonic crystal dielectric laser accelerator

Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Zhexin Zhao, Dylan S. Black, R. Joel England, Tyler W. Hughes, Yu Miao | Summary: To be useful for most scientific and medical applications, compact particle accelerators will require much higher average current than enabled by current architectures. For this purpose, we propose a photonic crystal […]

Hall-type algebras for categorical Donaldson-Thomas theories on local surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Yukinobu Toda | First 5 Authors: Yukinobu Toda, , , , | Summary: We show that the categorified cohomological Hall algebra structures on surfaces constructed by Porta-Sala descend to those on Donaldson-Thomas categories on local surfaces introduced in the author’s previous paper. A similar argument also shows that Pandharipande-Thomas categories on local surfaces […]
