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 […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Yu-Tsun Shao, Sujit Das, Zijian Hong, Ruijuan Xu, Swathi Chandrika | Summary: Polar skyrmions are predicted to emerge from the interplay of elastic, electrostatic and gradient energies, in contrast to the key role of the anti-symmetric Dzyalozhinskii-Moriya interaction in magnetic skyrmions. With the discovery of topologically-stable […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: David Müller, Yurii Nesterov, Vladimir Shikhman, , | Summary: Recently, there is growing interest and need for dynamic pricing algorithms, especially, in the field of online marketplaces by offering smart pricing options for big online stores. We present an approach to adjust prices based on the observed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Moses | First 5 Authors: Noah Flemens, Nicolas Swenson, Jeffrey Moses, , | Summary: We illustrate that a Hermitian nonlinear optical system consisting of hybridized parametric amplification and second harmonic generation mimics non-Hermitian evolution dynamics. Oscillation damping, evolution to a static steady state, and exceptional points arise from the use of second […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak Parpia | First 5 Authors: Dmytro Lotnyk, Anna Eyal, Nikolay Zhelev, Abhilash Sebastian, Yefan Tian | Summary: We examine the discontinuous first-order superfluid $^3$He A to B transition in the vicinity of the polycritical point (2.232 mK and 21.22 bar). We find path-dependent transitions: cooling at fixed pressure yields a well defined […]

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Hamed Pourbeyram, Pavel Sidorenko, Fan Wu, Logan Wright, Demetrios Christodoulides | Summary: An equilibrium thermodynamic framework that describes highly-multimode optical processes was introduced recently. This theory predicts the outcomes of complex linear and nonlinear multimode interactions based on thermodynamic principles and provides analytic results for the distributions […]
