Large phonon-drag thermopower polarity reversal in Ba-doped KTaO3

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell G. Schlom | First 5 Authors: Mohamed Nawwar, Mohamed Nawwar, , , | Summary: This study reports the observation of phonon-drag thermopower polarity reversal in Ba-doped KTaO3 thin films, mediated by electron-phonon Umklapp scattering. Epitaxial films with distinct carrier concentrations (3.7 x 10^20 cm^-3 and 4.9 x 10^19 cm^-3) were grown via […]

The Simons Observatory: Assessing the Impact of Dust Complexity on the Recovery of Primordial $B$-modes

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Yiqi Liu, Yiqi Liu, , , | Summary: We investigate how dust foreground complexity can affect measurements of the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$, in the context of the Simons Observatory, using a cross-spectrum component separation analysis. Employing a suite of simulations with realistic Galactic dust emission, we […]

Discovery of a Little Red Dot candidate at $zgtrsim10$ in COSMOS-Web based on MIRI-NIRCam selection

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Takumi S. Tanaka, Takumi S. Tanaka, , , | Summary: JWST has revealed a new high-redshift population called little red dots (LRDs). Since LRDs may be in the early phase of black hole growth, identifying them in the early universe is crucial for understanding the formation of […]

Lord of LRDs: Insights into a “Little Red Dot” with a low-ionization spectrum at z = 0.1

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Xihan Ji, Xihan Ji, , , | Summary: Recent JWST observations have revealed a puzzling population of optically red and compact galaxies with peculiar "V"-shaped spectra at high redshift, known as "Little Red Dots" (LRDs). Until now, most spectroscopically confirmed LRDs are found at z > 4 […]

DivControl: Knowledge Diversion for Controllable Image Generation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Yucheng Xie, Yucheng Xie, , , | Summary: Diffusion models have advanced from text-to-image (T2I) to image-to-image (I2I) generation by incorporating structured inputs such as depth maps, enabling fine-grained spatial control. However, existing methods either train separate models for each condition or rely on unified architectures with […]
