Gate-Tunable Spin-Orbit Coupling in a Germanium Hole Double Quantum Dot

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: He Liu, Ting Zhang, Ke Wang, Fei Gao, Gang Xu | Summary: Hole spins confined in semiconductor quantum dot systems have gained considerable interest for their strong spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) and relatively weak hyperfine interactions. Here we experimentally demonstrate a tunable SOI in a double quantum dot […]

Strong Second Harmonic Generation from Bilayer Graphene with Symmetry Breaking by Redox-Governed Charge Doping

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Mingwen Zhang, Nannan Han, Jing Wang, Zhihong Zhang, Kaihui Liu | Summary: Missing second-order nonlinearity in centrosymmetric graphene overshadows its intriguing optical attribute. Here, we report redox-governed charge doping could effectively break the centrosymmetry of bilayer graphene (BLG), enabling a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) with a […]

Observational Inference on the Delay Time Distribution of Short Gamma-ray Bursts

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Michael Zevin, Anya E. Nugent, Susmita Adhikari, Wen-fai Fong, Daniel E. Holz | Summary: The delay time distribution of neutron star mergers provides critical insights into binary evolution processes and the merger rate evolution of compact object binaries. However, current observational constraints on this delay time […]

Ramification theory from homotopical point of view, II

Kavli Affiliate: Tomoyuki Abe | Summary:This is the second part of the paper which proves the compatibility of pushforward along a proper morphism of an étale constructible sheaf and the pushforward of its characteristic cycle up to $p$-torsion. In this second part, we show a result which is postponed from the first part because the […]

Ramification theory from homotopical point of view, I

Kavli Affiliate: Tomoyuki Abe | Summary:We prove the compatibility of pushforward along a proper morphism of an étale constructible sheaf and the pushforward of its characteristic cycle up to $p$-torsion. This was conjectured by Takeshi Saito. For this, we revisit the construction of the characteristic cycle, due to Saito and Beilinson, from more homotopical point […]

Two Candidate KH 15D-like Systems from the Zwicky Transient Facility

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Wei Zhu, Klaus Bernhard, Fei Dai, Min Fang, J. J. Zanazzi | Summary: KH 15D contains a circumbinary disk that is tilted relative to the orbital plane of the central binary. The precession of the disk and the orbital motion of the binary together produce rich phenomena […]
