Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak M. Parpia | First 5 Authors: Rakin N. Baten, Yefan Tian, Eric N. Smith, Erich Mueller, Jeevak M. Parpia | Summary: By monitoring the quality factor of a quartz tuning fork oscillator we have observed a fluctuation-driven reduction in the viscosity of bulk $^3$He in the normal state near the superfluid transition […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Ziming Shao, Noah Schnitzer, Jacob Ruf, Oleg Y. Gorobtsov, Cheng Dai | Summary: Exploiting the emerging nanoscale periodicities in epitaxial, single-crystal thin films is an exciting direction in quantum materials science: confinement and periodic distortions induce novel properties. The structural motifs of interest are ferroelastic, ferroelectric, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas L. Abbott | First 5 Authors: Xingzhou Tang, Ali Mozaffari, Noe Atzin, Soumik Das, Nicholas L. Abbott | Summary: Solitons in nematic liquid crystals offer intriguing opportunities for transport and sensing in microfluidic systems. Little is known about the elementary conditions that are needed to create solitons in nematic materials. In this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Wenjin Zhao, Bowen Shen, Zui Tao, Zhongdong Han, Kaifei Kang | Summary: The Kondo lattice, describing a matrix of local magnetic moments coupled via spin-exchange interactions to itinerant conduction electrons, is a prototype of strongly correlated quantum matter. Traditionally, Kondo lattices are realized in intermetallic compounds containing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: James L Hart, Lopa Bhatt, Yanbing Zhu, Myung-Geun Han, Elisabeth Bianco | Summary: The layer stacking order in 2D materials strongly affects functional properties and holds promise for next generation electronic devices. In bulk, octahedral MoTe$_2$ possesses two stacking arrangements, the Weyl semimetal T$_d$ phase, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Weijiong Chen, Clara Neerup Breiø, Freek Massee, M. P. Allan, C. Petrovic | Summary: Visualizing atomic-orbital degrees of freedom is a frontier challenge in scanned microscopy. Some types of orbital order are virtually imperceptible to normal scattering techniques because they do not reduce the overall […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank W. Wise | First 5 Authors: Yijie Shen, Qiwen Zhan, Logan G. Wright, Demetrios N. Christodoulides, Frank W. Wise | Summary: Spatiotemporal sculpturing of light pulse with ultimately sophisticated structures represents the holy grail of the human everlasting pursue of ultrafast information transmission and processing as well as ultra-intense energy concentration and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel C. Ralph | First 5 Authors: Lijun Zhu, Daniel C Ralph, , , | Summary: Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) have been widely understood as an interfacial transfer of spin that is independent of the bulk properties of the magnetic layer. Here, we report that SOTs acting on ferrimagnetic FexTb1-x layers decrease and vanish […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas L. Abbott | First 5 Authors: Noe Atzin, Ali Mozaffari, Xingzhou Tang, Soumik Das, Nicholas L. Abbott | Summary: Solitons in liquid crystals have generated considerable interest. Several hypotheses of varying complexity have been advanced to explain how they emerge, and a consensus has not emerged yet about the underlying forces responsible […]
