Kavli Affiliate: Paul McEuen | First 5 Authors: Chrisy Xiyu Du, Hanyu Alice Zhang, Tanner Pearson, Jakin Ng, Paul McEuen | Summary: The ability to rapidly manufacture building blocks with specific binding interactions is a key aspect of programmable assembly. Recent developments in DNA nanotechnology and colloidal particle synthesis have significantly advanced our ability to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chris Xu | First 5 Authors: Sylvain Gigan, Ori Katz, Hilton B. de Aguiar, Esben Ravn Andresen, Alexandre Aubry | Summary: The last decade has seen the development of a wide set of tools, such as wavefront shaping, computational or fundamental methods, that allow to understand and control light propagation in a complex […]

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Chuqiao Shi, Michael C. Cao, Sarah M. Rehn, Sang-Hoon Bae, Jeehwan Kim | Summary: Understanding lattice deformations is crucial in determining the properties of nanomaterials, which can become more prominent in future applications ranging from energy harvesting to electronic devices. However, it remains challenging to reveal […]

Kavli Affiliate: Sol M. Gruner | First 5 Authors: Hugh T. Philipp, Mark W. Tate, Katherine S. Shanks, Luigi Mele, Maurice Peemen | Summary: Precision and accuracy of quantitative scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) methods such as ptychography, and the mapping of electric, magnetic and strain fields depend on the dose. Reasonable acquisition time requires […]

Kavli Affiliate: Debdeep Jena | First 5 Authors: Yifan, Zhang, Mengren, Liu, Guru Khalsa | Summary: Rapid design and development of the emergent ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors Ga$_2$O$_3$ and Al$_2$O$_3$ requires a compact model of their electronic structures, accurate over the broad energy range accessed in future high-field, high-frequency, and high-temperature electronics and visible and ultraviolet […]

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Joseph Casamento, Hyunjea Lee, Takuya Maeda, Ved Gund, Kazuki Nomoto | Summary: Epitaxial Sc$_x$Al$_{1-x}$N thin films of ~100 nm thickness grown on metal polar GaN exhibit significantly enhanced relative dielectric permittivity ($epsilon_r$) values relative to AlN. $epsilon_r$ values of ~17 to 21 for Sc contents of 17 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hao Chen, Pavel Sidorenko, Enrique Antonio-Lopez, Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa, Frank Wise | Summary: We report a study of soliton self-frequency shifting in hydrogen-filled hollow-core fiber. The combination of hydrogen and short 40-fs input pulses underlies clean and efficient generation of Raman solitons between 1080 and 1600 nm. With […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Joolee Son, Suhan Son, Pyeongjae Park, Maengsuk Kim, Zui Tao | Summary: Ferromagnetism in two-dimensional materials presents a promising platform for the development of ultrathin spintronic devices with advanced functionalities. Recently discovered ferromagnetic van der Waals crystals such as CrI$_{3}$, readily isolated two-dimensional crystals, are highly tunable […]

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Henry Haig, Pavel Sidorenko, Anirban Dhar, Nilotpal Choudhury, Ranjan Sen | Summary: We present a spatiotemporally mode-locked Mamyshev oscillator. A wide variety of multimode mode-locked states, with varying degrees of spatiotemporal coupling, are observed. We find that some control of the modal content of the output beam […]
