Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Danilo B. Liarte, Stephen J. Thornton, Eric Schwen, Itai Cohen, Debanjan Chowdhury | Summary: The onset of rigidity in interacting liquids, as they undergo a transition to a disordered solid, is associated with a dramatic rearrangement of the low-frequency vibrational spectrum. In this letter, we derive scaling […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: Tianlun Yu, John Wright, Guru Khalsa, Betül Pamuk, Celesta S. Chang | Summary: The electronic structure of heterointerfaces play a pivotal role in their device functionality. Recently, highly crystalline ultrathin films of superconducting NbN have been integrated by molecular beam epitaxy with the semiconducting GaN. We use […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lara A. Estroff | First 5 Authors: Jiseok Gim, Alden Koch, Laura M. Otter, Benjamin H. Savitzky, Sveinung Erland | Summary: A pearl’s distinguished beauty and toughness are attributable to the periodic stacking of aragonite tablets known as nacre. Nacre has naturally occurring mesoscale periodicity that remarkably arises in the absence of discrete […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katja C. Nowack | First 5 Authors: Brian T. Schaefer, Katja C. Nowack, , , | Summary: The valleys in hexagonal two-dimensional systems with broken inversion symmetry carry an intrinsic orbital magnetic moment. Despite this, such systems possess zero net magnetization unless additional symmetries are broken, since the contributions from both valleys cancel. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Yawen Fang, Hari P. Nair, Ludi Miao, Berit Goodge, Nathaniel J. Schreiber | Summary: We measure the Shubnikov-de Haas effect in thin-film Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ grown on an (LaAlO$_3$)$_{0.29}$-(SrAl$_{1/2}$Ta$_{1/2}$O$_3$)$_{0.71}$ (LSAT) substrate. We detect all three known Fermi surfaces and extract the Fermi surface volumes, cyclotron effective masses, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katja C. Nowack | First 5 Authors: D. Low, G. M. Ferguson, Alexander Jarjour, Brian T. Schaefer, Maja D. Bachmann | Summary: We report a scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope in a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator with a base temperature at the sample stage of at least 30 mK. The microscope is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Suk Hyun Sung, Noah Schnitzer, Steve Novakov, Ismail El Baggari, Xiangpeng Luo | Summary: Compelling evidence suggests distinct correlated electron behavior may exist only in clean 2D materials such as 1T-TaS2. Unfortunately, experiment and theory suggest that extrinsic disorder in free standing 2D layers disrupts correlation-driven […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: Tobias A. Kampmann, David Müller, Clemens Franz Vorsmann, Lukas Paul Weise, Jan Kierfeld | Summary: We discuss the rejection-free event-chain Monte-Carlo algorithm and several applications to dense soft matter systems. Event-chain Monte-Carlo is an alternative to standard local Markov-chain Monte-Carlo schemes, which are based on detailed balance, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hector D. Abruna | First 5 Authors: Yihuang Xiong, Quinn T. Campbell, Julian Fanghanel, Catherine K. Badding, Huaiyu Wang | Summary: The production of hydrogen fuels, via water splitting, is of practical relevance for meeting global energy needs and mitigating the environmental consequences of fossil-fuel-based transportation. Water photoelectrolysis has been proposed as a […]
