Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | First 5 Authors: Hanzhe Liu, Jonathan M. Michelsen, Isabel M. Klein, Scott K. Cushing, | Summary: Transient XUV spectroscopy is growing in popularity for the measurement of solar fuel and photovoltaic materials as it can separately measure electron and hole energies for multiple elements at once. However, interpretation of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Arkadev Roy, Midya Parto, Rajveer Nehra, Christian Leefmans, Alireza Marandi | Summary: Topological insulators possess protected boundary states which are robust against disorders and have immense implications in both fermionic and bosonic systems. Harnessing these topological effects in non-equilibrium scenarios is highly desirable and has led to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Liwei Wang, Jagannadh Boddapati, Ke Liu, Ping Zhu, Chiara Daraio | Summary: Mechanical cloaks are materials engineered to manipulate the elastic response around objects to make them indistinguishable from their homogeneous surroundings. Typically, methods based on material-parameter transformations are used to design optical, thermal and electric cloaks. […]
