Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey Bleem | First 5 Authors: Joshua Roberson, Joshua Roberson, , , | Summary: Understanding the properties of the first generation of galaxies is an ongoing challenge in observational astrophysics. While advances in deep field observation have led to the identification of large numbers of galaxies within the Epoch of Reionization, there are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhehao Ge, Zhehao Ge, , , | Summary: Electron Wigner solids (WSs)1-12 provide an ideal system for understanding the competing effects of electron-electron and electron-disorder interactions, a central unsolved problem in condensed matter physics. Progress in this topic has been limited by a lack of single-defect-resolved experimental […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Shehzaib Irfan, Shehzaib Irfan, , , | Summary: Extreme value theory (EVT) is well suited to model extreme events, such as floods, heatwaves, or mechanical failures, which is required for reliability assessment of systems across multiple domains for risk management and loss prevention. The block maxima (BM) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | First 5 Authors: Ethan T. Ritz, Ethan T. Ritz, , , | Summary: We present a technique for partitioning the total energy from a semi-local density functional theory calculation into contributions from individual electronic states in a localized Wannier basis. We use our technique to reveal the key role […]
Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Anna R. Barth, Anna R. Barth, , , | Summary: Tuning shear thickening behavior is a longstanding problem in the field of dense suspensions. Acoustic perturbations offer a convenient way to control shear thickening in real time, opening the door to a new class of smart materials. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, , , | Summary: At present, the best opportunity for detailed Lyman Continuum escape studies is in gravitationally lensed galaxies at z >~ 2. Only one such galaxy currently exists in the literature with sufficient spatial magnification: The Sunburst Arc […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Hiroto Takahashi, Hiroto Takahashi, , , | Summary: The kagome lattice of spin-1/2 Cu atoms in herbertsmithite (ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2) may sustain a quantum spin liquid (QSL) state with spinon quasiparticles. Each kagome plane is separated from its homologues by a layer of spinless Zn atoms. Providentially, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Francesco D’Eugenio, Francesco D’Eugenio, , , | Summary: We present JWST/NIRSpec dense-shutter spectroscopy (DSS). This novel observing strategy with the NIRSpec micro-shutter assembly (MSA) deliberately permits a high number of controlled spectral overlaps to reach extreme multiplex while retaining the low background of slit spectroscopy. In a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Yi J. Zhao, Yi J. Zhao, , , | Summary: Synchronization in quantum systems has been recently studied through persistent oscillations of local observables, which stem from undamped modes of the dissipative dynamics. However, the existence of such modes requires fine-tuning the system to satisfy specific […]
Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Ying Chen, Ying Chen, , , | Summary: The $S=1/2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain is a paradigmatic quantum system hosting exotic excitations such as spinons and solitons, and forming random singlet state in the presence of quenched disorder. Realizing and distinguishing these excitations in a single material remains […]
