Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | First 5 Authors: Josue Rodriguez, Gilbert Lopez, Samantha Crouch, Nicholas P. Breznay, Robert Kealhofer | Summary: Spin orbit assisted Mott insulators such as sodium iridate (Na$_2$IrO$_3$) have been an important subject of study in the recent years. In these materials, the interplay of electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal field effects […]

Kavli Affiliate: Naomi S. Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: David T. Limmer, Naomi S. Ginsberg, , , | Summary: We present a perspective on recent observations of the photoinduced phase separation of halides in multi-component lead-halide perovskites. The spontaneous phase separation of an initial homogeneous solid solution under steady-state illumination conditions is found experimentally to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Crystalline symmetries have played a central role in the identification of topological materials. The use of symmetry indicators and band representations have enabled a classification scheme for crystalline topological materials, leading to large scale topological materials discovery. In this work we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Cencheng Shen, Jaewon Chung, Ronak Mehta, Ting Xu, Joshua T. Vogelstein | Summary: Temporal data are increasingly prevalent in modern data science. A fundamental question is whether two time-series are related or not. Existing approaches often have limitations, such as relying on parametric assumptions, detecting only linear […]

Kavli Affiliate: Peidong Yang | First 5 Authors: Connor G. Bischak, Minliang Lai, Dylan Lu, Zhaochuan Fan, Philippe David | Summary: Microscopic pathways of structural phase transitions are difficult to probe because they occur over multiple, disparate time and length scales. Using $in$ $situ$ nanoscale cathodoluminescence microscopy, we visualize the thermally-driven transition to the perovskite […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Javey | First 5 Authors: Der-Hsien Lien, Shiekh Zia Uddin, Matthew Yeh, Matin Amani, Hyungjin Kim | Summary: Defects in conventional semiconductors substantially lower the photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY), a key metric of optoelectronic performance that directly dictates the maximum device efficiency. Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), such as monolayer […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Neaton | First 5 Authors: Nityan L. Nair, Marie-Eve Boulanger, Francis Laliberté, Sinead Griffin, Sanyum Channa | Summary: A signature property of Weyl semimetals is the existence of topologically protected surface states – arcs in momentum space that connect Weyl points in the bulk. However, the presence of bulks states makes detection […]

Kavli Affiliate: Naomi Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: Clarice D. Aiello, Andrea D. Pickel, Edward Barnard, Rebecca B. Wai, Christian Monachon | Summary: Crucial to analyze phenomena as varied as plasmonic hot spots and the spread of cancer in living tissue, nanoscale thermometry is challenging: probes are usually larger than the sample under study, and […]
