Effect of Rough Walls on Transport in Mesoscopic $^3$He Films

Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak M. Parpia | First 5 Authors: Priya Sharma, Antonio Corcoles, R. G. Bennett, Jeevak M. Parpia, Brian Cowan | Summary: The interplay of bulk and boundary scattering is explored in a regime where quantum size effects modify mesoscopic transport in a degenerate Fermi liquid film of $^3$He on a rough surface. We […]

Large depth-of-field tracking of colloidal spheres in holographic microscopy by modeling the objective lens

Kavli Affiliate: Vinothan Manoharan | First 5 Authors: Brian Leahy, Ronald Alexander, Caroline Martin, Solomon Barkley, Vinothan Manoharan | Summary: Holographic microscopy has developed into a powerful tool for 3D particle tracking, yielding nanometer-scale precision at high frame rates. However, current particle tracking algorithms ignore the effect of the microscope objective on the formation of […]

Development of Dual-phase Xenon TPC with a Quartz Chamber for Direct Dark Matter Search

Kavli Affiliate: Masaki Yamashita | First 5 Authors: Kazufumi Sato, Masaki Yamashita, Koichi Ichimura, Yoshitaka Itow, Shingo Kazama | Summary: The idea of a hermetic quartz chamber in a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) has the potential to improve the detector sensitivity for direct dark matter searches in the future. A major challenge facing […]

Modification of electron-phonon coupling by micromachining and suspension

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Roukes | First 5 Authors: Olli-Pentti Saira, Matthew H. Matheny, Libin Wang, Jukka Pekola, Michael Roukes | Summary: Weak electron-phonon interaction in metals at low temperatures forms the basis of operation for cryogenic hot-electron bolometers and calorimeters. Standard power laws, describing the heat flow in the majority of experiments, have been identified […]

Minimal Warm Inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Kim V. Berghaus, Peter W. Graham, David E. Kaplan, , | Summary: Slow-roll inflation is a successful paradigm. However we find that even a small coupling of the inflaton to other light fields can dramatically alter the dynamics and predictions of inflation. As an example, the […]

Hirota Quadratic Equations for the Gromov–Witten Invariants of $mathbb{P}_{n-2,2,2}^1$

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | First 5 Authors: Jipeng Cheng, Todor Milanov, , , | Summary: Fano orbifold lines are classified by the Dynkin diagrams of type $A,D,$ and $E$. It is known that the corresponding total descendant potential is a tau-function of an appropriate Kac–Wakimoto hierarchy. It is also known that in the A-case […]

Elastic properties of hidden order in URu$_{text2}$Si$_{text2}$ are reproduced by a staggered nematic

Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw | First 5 Authors: Jaron Kent-Dobias, Michael Matty, Brad Ramshaw, , | Summary: We develop a phenomenological mean field theory describing the hidden order phase in URu$_{text2}$Si$_{text2}$ as a nematic of the $text B_{text{1g}}$ representation staggered along the $c$-axis. Several experimental features are reproduced by this theory: the topology of the […]
