Spin-orbit effects at chiral surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | Summary:Two-dimensional hexagonal and oblique lattices were investigated theoretically with the aim of observing differences in the spin expectation values between chiral and achiral systems. The spinresolved band structures were derived from the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian that includes the lattice potential and the spin-orbit interaction. The spin […]

Energy Loss Due to Defect Formation from $^206$Pb Recoils in SuperCDMS Germanium Detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Blas Cabrera | Summary:The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory studied energy loss associated with Frenkel defect formation in germanium crystals at mK temperatures using in situ $^210$Pb sources. We examine the spectrum of $^206$Pb nuclear recoils near its expected 103 keV endpoint energy and determine an […]

Optomechanical damping as the origin of sideband asymmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Ya Blanter | Summary:Sideband asymmetry in cavity optomechanics has been explained by particle creation and annihilation processes, which bestow an amplitude proportional to ‘n+1’ and ‘n’ excitations to each of the respective sidebands. We discuss the issues with this as well as other interpretations, such as quantum backaction and noise interference, and show […]

Very large scale characterization of graphene mechanical devices using a colorimetry technique

Kavli Affiliate: Herre Sjoerd Jan Van Der Zant| First 5 Authors: Santiago Jose Cartamil-Bueno, Santiago Jose Cartamil-Bueno, , , | Summary:We use a scalable optical technique to characterize more than 21000 circular nanomechanical devices made out of suspended single- and double-layer graphene on cavities with different diameters ($D$) and depths ($g$). To maximize the contrast […]

Pulling the Boundary into the Bulk

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | 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 is found by considering the continual removal of short range information in […]

Around the nearby cycle functor for arithmetic $mathscrD$-modules

Kavli Affiliate: Tomoyuki Abe | Summary:We will establish a nearby and vanishing cycle formalism for the arithmetic $mathscrD$-module theory following Beilinson’s philosophy. As an application, we define smooth objects in the framework of arithmetic $mathscrD$-modules whose category is equivalent to the category of overconvergent isocrystals. | Search Query: arXiv Query: search_query=au:”Abe Tomoyuki”&id_list=&start=0&max_results=10Read More

Statistical analysis of acoustic wave power and flows around solar active regions

Kavli Affiliate: 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 the sunspot structure below the solar surface. The attenuation of acoustic waves with frequencies lower […]

The 2-component BKP Grassmanian and simple singularities of type D

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | Summary:It was proved in 2010 that the principal Kac–Wakimoto hierarchy of type $D$ is a reduction of the 2-component BKP hierarchy. On the other hand, it is known that the total descendant potential of a singularity of type $D$ is a tau-function of the principal Kac–Wakimoto hierarchy. We find explicitly […]
