Picosecond volume expansion drives a later-time insulator-metal transition in a nano-textured Mott Insulator

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell G. Schlom | First 5 Authors: Anita Verma, Denis Golež, Oleg Yu. Gorobtsov, Kelson Kaj, Ryan Russell | Summary: Technology moves towards ever faster switching between different electronic and magnetic states of matter. Manipulating properties at terahertz rates requires accessing the intrinsic timescales of electrons (femtoseconds) and associated phonons (10s of femtoseconds […]

Visualizing the atomic-scale origin of metallic behavior in Kondo insulators

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Harris Pirie, Eric Mascot, Christian E. Matt, Yu Liu, Pengcheng Chen | Summary: A Kondo lattice is often electrically insulating at low temperatures. However, several recent experiments have detected signatures of bulk metallicity within this Kondo insulating phase. Here we visualize the real-space charge landscape […]

Giant spin Hall effect in AB-stacked MoTe2/WSe2 bilayers

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zui Tao, Bowen Shen, Wenjin Zhao, Nai Chao Hu, Tingxin Li | Summary: The spin Hall effect (SHE), in which electrical current generates transverse spin current, plays an important role in spintronics for the generation and manipulation of spin-polarized electrons. The phenomenon originates from spin-orbit coupling. In […]

Defeating Broken Symmetry with Doping: Symmetric Resonant Tunneling in Noncentrosymetric Heterostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Jimy Encomendero, Vladimir Protasenko, Debdeep Jena, Huili Grace Xing, | Summary: Resonant tunneling transport in polar heterostructures is intimately connected to the polarization fields emerging from the geometric Berry-phase. In these structures, quantum confinement results not only in a discrete electronic spectrum, but also in built-in polarization […]

A Distributionally Robust Random Utility Model

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: David Müller, Emerson Melo, Ruben Schlotter, , | Summary: This paper introduces the distributionally robust random utility model (DRO-RUM), which allows the preference shock (unobserved heterogeneity) distribution to be misspecified or unknown. We make three contributions using tools from the literature on robust optimization. First, by exploiting […]
