Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Dahvyd Wing, Guy Ohad, Jonah B. Haber, Marina R. Filip, Stephen E. Gant | Summary: Accurate prediction of fundamental band gaps of crystalline solid state systems entirely within density functional theory is a long standing challenge. Here, we present a simple and inexpensive method that achieves […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Dimas G. de Oteyza, Alejandro Pérez Paz, Yen-Chia Chen, Zahra Pedramrazi, Alexander Riss | Summary: We investigate the thermally-induced cyclization of 1,2 – bis(2 – phenylethynyl)benzene on Au(111) using scanning tunneling microscopy and computer simulations. Cyclization of sterically hindered enediynes is known to proceed via two […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Pasquale Cilibrizzi, Xiaoze Liu, Peiyao Zhang, Chenzhe Wang, Quanwei Li | Summary: The newly discovered valley degree of freedom in atomically thin two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides offers a promising platform to explore rich nonlinear physics, such as spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and novel valleytronics applications. However, the […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: William J. Huggins, Sam McArdle, Thomas E. O’Brien, Joonho Lee, Nicholas C. Rubin | Summary: Contemporary quantum computers have relatively high levels of noise, making it difficult to use them to perform useful calculations, even with a large number of qubits. Quantum error correction is expected […]
Kavli Affiliate: Graham R. Fleming | First 5 Authors: Akihito Ishizaki, Graham R. Fleming, , , | Summary: Giant strides in ultrashort laser pulse technology have enabled real-time observation of dynamical processes in complex molecular systems. Specifically, the discovery of oscillatory transients in the two-dimensional electronic spectra of photosynthetic systems stimulated a number of theoretical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | First 5 Authors: Kerui Peng, Yana Safonova, Mikhail Shugay, Alice Popejoy, Oscar Rodriguez | Summary: With the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies, the fields of immunogenomics and adaptive immune receptor repertoire research are facing both opportunities and challenges. Adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing (AIRR-seq) has become an increasingly important tool […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Wei Ruan, Yi Chen, Shujie Tang, Jinwoong Hwang, Hsin-Zon Tsai | Summary: Two-dimensional triangular-lattice antiferromagnets are predicted under some conditions to exhibit a quantum spin liquid ground state whose low-energy behavior is described by a spinon Fermi surface. Directly imaging the resulting spinons, however, is difficult […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Katherine A. Cochrane, Jun-Ho Lee, Christoph Kastl, Jonah B. Haber, Tianyi Zhang | Summary: We demonstrate the creation of a spin-1/2 state via the atomically controlled generation of magnetic carbon radical ions (CRIs) in synthetic two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Hydrogenated carbon impurities located at chalcogen […]
