Kavli Affiliate: Kentaro Hori | First 5 Authors: Daichi Takane, Seigo Souma, Kosuke Nakayama, Takechika Nakamura, Hikaru Oinuma | Summary: We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of AlB2 which is isostructural to high-temperature superconductor MgB2. Using soft-x-ray photons, we accurately determined the three-dimensional bulk band structure and found a highly anisotropic Dirac-cone band at the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Hartz | First 5 Authors: Yoshi Uchida, Mark Hartz, R. Phillip Litchfield, Callum Wilkinson, Asher Kaboth | Summary: The presentations, discussions and findings from the inaugural `PhyStat-$nu$’ workshop held at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU) near Tokyo in 2016 are described. PhyStat-$nu$ was the first […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw | First 5 Authors: Laurel E Winter, Arkady Shekhter, Brad Ramshaw, Ryan E. Baumbach, Eric D. Bauer | Summary: Quantum materials are epitomized by the influence of collective modes upon their macroscopic properties. Relatively few examples exist, however, whereby coherence of the ground-state wavefunction directly contributes to the conductivity. Notable examples […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak M. Parpia | First 5 Authors: Lev V. Levitin, Ben Yager, Laura Sumner, Brian Cowan, Andrew J. Casey | Summary: In superfluid $^3$He-B confined in a slab geometry, domain walls between regions of different order parameter orientation are predicted to be energetically stable. Formation of the spatially-modulated superfluid stripe phase has been […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | First 5 Authors: Richard Hills, Girish Kulkarni, P. Daniel Meerburg, Ewald Puchwein, | Summary: It is predicted that the spectrum of radio emission from the whole sky should show a dip arising from the action of the light from the first stars on the hydrogen atoms in the surrounding gas, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Yasunori Nomura, Pratik Rath, Nico Salzetta, , | Summary: Motivated by the ability to consistently apply the Ryu-Takayanagi prescription for general convex surfaces and the relationship between entanglement and geometry in tensor networks, we introduce a novel, covariant bulk object – the holographic slice. The holographic slice […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip H. Scherrer | First 5 Authors: M. Cristina Rabello-Soares, Richard S. Bogart, Philip H. Scherrer, , | Summary: We analyze the effect of a sunspot in its quiet surroundings applying a helioseismic technique on almost three years of Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) observations obtained during solar cycle 24 to further study […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Alastair Murray, Stuart Marshall, Leroy Cronin, , | Summary: How do we estimate the probability of an abundant objects’ formation, with minimal context or assumption about is origin? To explore this we have previously introduced the concept of pathway assembly (as pathway complexity), in a graph based […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil R. Golwala | First 5 Authors: Fabien Defrance, Cecile Jung-Kubiak, Jack Sayers, Jake Connors, Clare deYoung | Summary: Although high-resistivity, low-loss silicon is an excellent material for THz transmission optics, its high refractive index necessitates antireflection treatment. We fabricated a wide-bandwidth, two-layer antireflection treatment by cutting subwavelength structures into the silicon surface […]
Kavli Affiliate: Julia R. Greer | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyue Ni, Haolu Zhang, Danilo B. Liarte, Louis W. McFaul, Karin A. Dahmen | Summary: The transition from elastic to plastic deformation in crystalline metals shares history dependence and scale-invariant avalanche signature with other non-equilibrium systems under external loading: dilute colloidal suspensions, plastically-deformed amorphous solids, granular […]
