Kavli Affiliate: Darrell G. Schlom | First 5 Authors: Cameron A. Gorsak, Henry J. Bowman, Katie R. Gann, Kathleen T. Smith, Jacob Steele | Summary: In this study, we investigate in situ etching of b{eta}-Ga2O3 in a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system using tert-Butyl chloride (TBCl). We report the successful etching of both heteroepitaxial […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Jahnatta Dasini, Chaia Carroll, Chun-Chih Hsu, Hiroto Takahashi, Jack Murphy | Summary: Dynamical heterogeneity in which transitory local fluctuations occur in the conformation and dynamics of constituent particles, is essential for evolution of supercooled liquids into the glass state. Yet its microscopic spatiotemporal phenomenology has […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Zhen Chen, Yu-Tsun Shao, Steven E. Zeltmann, Harikrishnan K. P., Ethan R. Rosenberg | Summary: Doping impurity atoms is a strategy commonly used to tune the functionality of materials including catalysts, semiconductors, and quantum emitters. The location of dopants and their interaction with surrounding atoms could […]
Kavli Affiliate: Darrell G. Schlom | First 5 Authors: Lena N. Majer, Tolga Acartürk, Peter A. van Aken, Wolfgang Braun, Luca Camuti | Summary: Sapphire is a technologically highly relevant material, but it poses many challenges to performing epitaxial thin-film deposition. We have identified and applied the conditions for adsorption-controlled homoepitaxial growth of c-plane sapphire. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Stephen J. Thornton, Danilo B. Liarte, Itai Cohen, James P. Sethna, | Summary: Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters, like the jamming transition, can be well-described in most physically relevant dimensions by mean-field theories. However, we lack a theoretical description of these […]

Sethna, | Summary: Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters, like the jamming transition, can be well-described in most physically relevant dimensions by mean-field theories. A dynamical mean-field theory commonly used to study […]
Kavli Affiliate: Farhan Rana | First 5 Authors: Chandrashekhar Savant, Ved Gund, Kazuki Nomoto, Takuya Maeda, Shubham Jadhav | Summary: We report the properties of molecular beam epitaxy deposited AlBN thin films on a recently developed epitaxial nitride metal electrode Nb2N. While a control AlN thin film exhibits standard capacitive behavior, distinct ferroelectric switching is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel C. Ralph | First 5 Authors: Thow Min Jerald Cham, Daniel G. Chica, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Xavier Roy | Summary: Antiferromagnetic spintronics offers the potential for higher-frequency operations compared to ferromagnetic spintronics and improved insensitivity to magnetic fields. However, previous electrical techniques to detect antiferromagnetic dynamics have required millimeter-scale samples to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | First 5 Authors: Jae-Pil So, Jialun Luo, Jaehong Choi, Brendan McCullian, Gregory D. Fuchs | Summary: Silicon vacancy (V$_{Si}$) centers in 4H-silicon carbide have emerged as a strong candidate for quantum networking applications due to their robust electronic and optical properties including a long spin coherence lifetime and bright, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Drake Niedzielski, Brendan D. Faeth, Berit H. Goodge, Mekhola Sinha, Tyrel M. McQueen | Summary: Common belief is that the large band shifts observed in incommensurate misfit compounds, e.g. (LaSe)1.14(NbSe2)2, are due to interlayer charge transfer. In contrast, our analysis, based on both ARPES measurements and […]
