Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | First 5 Authors: Jeffrey Z. Kaaret, Guru Khalsa, Nicole A. Benedek, , | Summary: We use theory and first-principles calculations to investigate how structural changes induced by ultrafast optical excitation of infrared-active phonons change with hydrostatic pressure in LaAlO$_3$. Our calculations show that the observed structural changes are sensitive […]

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Len van Deurzen, Ryan Page, Vladimir Protasenko, Huili, Xing | Summary: We demonstrate the first optically pumped sub-300 nm UV laser structures grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on single-crystal bulk AlN. The edge-emitting laser structures fabricated with the AlN/AlGaN heterostructures exhibit multi-mode emission with peak gain […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Grace A. Pan, Dan Ferenc Segedin, Harrison LaBollita, Qi Song, Emilian M. Nica | Summary: Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in the copper oxide materials, there have been sustained efforts to both understand the origins of this phase and discover new cuprate-like superconducting materials. One […]

Kavli Affiliate: Debdeep Jena | First 5 Authors: Megan Stokey, Rafal Korlacki, Matthew Hilfiker, Sean Knight, Steffen Richter | Summary: We determine the anisotropic dielectric functions of rhombohedral $alpha$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ by far-infrared and infrared generalized spectroscopic ellipsometry and derive all transverse optical and longitudinal optical phonon mode frequencies and broadening parameters. We also determine the high […]

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel C. Ralph | First 5 Authors: Arnab Bose, Nathaniel J. Schreiber, Rakshit Jain, Ding-Fu Shao, Hari P. Nair | Summary: We report measurements demonstrating that when the Neel vector of the collinear antiferromagnet RuO2 is appropriately canted relative to the sample plane, the antiferromagnet generates a substantial out of plane damping-like torque. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Jie Gu, Liguo Ma, Song Liu, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Two-dimensional (2D) moire materials provide a new solid-state platform with unprecedented controllability for studies of correlated quantum phenomena. To date, experimental studies have focused on the correlated electronic states; the correlated bosonic states in moire […]

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Yunus A. Kinkhabwala, Boris Barron, Matthew Hall, Tomas A. Arias, Itai Cohen | Summary: Racial residential segregation is a defining and enduring feature of U.S. society, shaping inter-group relations, racial disparities in income and health, and access to high-quality public goods and services. The design of policies […]

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Meera Ramaswamy, Itay Griniasty, Danilo B. Liarte, Abhishek Shetty, Eleni Katifori | Summary: Nearly all dense suspensions undergo dramatic and abrupt thickening transitions in their flow behavior when sheared at high stresses. Such transitions occur when the dominant interactions between the suspended particles shift from hydrodynamic to […]
