Kavli Affiliate: Julia R. Greer | First 5 Authors: Yejing Liu, Hao Wang, Jinfa Ho, Ryan C. Ng, Ray J. H. Ng | Summary: The rings, spots and stripes found on some butterflies, Pachyrhynchus weevils, and many chameleons are notable examples of natural organisms employing photonic crystals to produce colorful patterns. Despite advances in nanotechnology, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | First 5 Authors: Joseph Falson, Yong Xu, Menghan Liao, Yunyi Zang, Kejing Zhu | Summary: Spin-orbit coupling has proven indispensable in realizing topological materials and more recently Ising pairing in two-dimensional superconductors. This pairing mechanism relies on inversion symmetry breaking and sustains anomalously large in-plane polarizing magnetic fields whose upper […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | First 5 Authors: Yusuke Kozuka, Atsushi Sakaguchi, Joseph Falson, Atsushi Tsukazaki, Masashi Kawasaki | Summary: Quantum Hall/superconductor junctions have been an attractive topic as the two macroscopically quantum states join at the interface. Despite longstanding efforts, however, experimental understanding of this system has not been settled yet. One of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Pamela J. Bjorkman | First 5 Authors: Tal Einav, Shahrzad Yazdi, Aaron Coey, Pamela J. Bjorkman, Rob Phillips | Summary: Due to the low density of envelope (Env) spikes on the surface of HIV-1, neutralizing IgG antibodies rarely bind bivalently using both antigen-binding arms (Fabs) to crosslink between spikes (inter-spike crosslinking), instead resorting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. K. Rothemund | First 5 Authors: Ashwin Gopinath, Chris Thachuk, Anya Mitskovets, Harry A. Atwater, David Kirkpatrick | Summary: DNA origami is a modular platform for the combination of molecular and colloidal components to create optical, electronic, and biological devices. Integration of such nanoscale devices with microfabricated connectors and circuits is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Keith Schwab | First 5 Authors: Zeeshan Ahmed, Yuri Alexeev, Giorgio Apollinari, Asimina Arvanitaki, David Awschalom | Summary: Report of the first workshop to identify approaches and techniques in the domain of quantum sensing that can be utilized by future High Energy Physics applications to further the scientific goals of High Energy Physics. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil R. Golwala | First 5 Authors: Fabien Defrance, Cecile Jung-Kubiak, Jack Sayers, Jake Connors, Clare deYoung | Summary: Although high-resistivity, low-loss silicon is an excellent material for THz transmission optics, its high refractive index necessitates antireflection treatment. We fabricated a wide-bandwidth, two-layer antireflection treatment by cutting subwavelength structures into the silicon surface […]
Kavli Affiliate: Julia R. Greer | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyue Ni, Haolu Zhang, Danilo B. Liarte, Louis W. McFaul, Karin A. Dahmen | Summary: The transition from elastic to plastic deformation in crystalline metals shares history dependence and scale-invariant avalanche signature with other non-equilibrium systems under external loading: dilute colloidal suspensions, plastically-deformed amorphous solids, granular […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | First 5 Authors: Dagny Fleischman, Luke Sweatlock, Hirotaka Murakami, Harry Atwater, | Summary: The subwavelength mode volumes of plasmonic filters are well matched to the small size of state-of-the-art active pixels (~ 1 {mu}m) in CMOS image sensor arrays used in portable electronic devices. Typical plasmonic filters exhibit broad (> […]
Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh | First 5 Authors: Zhenjie Feng, Xunqing Yin, Yiming Cao, Xianglian Peng, Tian Gao | Summary: We demonstrate that Mn-doping in the layered sulfides Bi_4O_4S_3 leads to stable Bi_4-x Mn_x O_4 S_3 compounds that exhibit both long-range ferromagnetism and enhanced superconductivity for 0.075 < = x < = 0.15, with […]
