Dissipation-enabled hydrodynamic conductivity in a tunable bandgap semiconductor

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. McEuen | First 5 Authors: Cheng Tan, Derek Y. H. Ho, Lei Wang, J. I. A. Li, Indra Yudhistira | Summary: Electronic transport in the regime where carrier-carrier collisions are the dominant scattering mechanism has taken on new relevance with the advent of ultraclean two-dimensional materials. Here we present a combined […]

Mesophase Formation Stabilizes High-Purity Magic-Sized Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | First 5 Authors: Douglas R. Nevers, Curtis B. Williamson, Benjamin H. Savitzky, Ido Hadar, Uri Banin | Summary: Magic-sized clusters (MSCs) are renowned for their identical size and closed-shell stability that inhibit conventional nanoparticle (NP) growth processes. Though MSCs have been of increasing interest, understanding the reaction pathways toward […]

Chemically reversible isomerization of inorganic clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | First 5 Authors: Curtis B. Williamson, Douglas R. Nevers, Andrew Nelson, Ido Hadar, Uri Banin | Summary: Structural transformations in molecules and solids have generally been studied in isolation, while intermediate systems have eluded characterization. We show that a pair of CdS cluster isomers provides an advantageous experimental platform […]

Sr3CrN3: a new electride with partially filled d-shells

Kavli Affiliate: Jin Suntivich | First 5 Authors: Padtaraporn Chanhom, Kevin E. Fritz, Lee Burton, Jan Kloppenburg, Yaroslav Filinchuk | Summary: Electrides are ionic crystals in which the electrons prefer to occupy free space, serving as anions. Because the electrons prefer to be in the pockets, channels, or layers to the atomic orbitals around the […]

Robust Model Predictive Control of Irrigation Systems with Active Uncertainty Learning and Data Analytics

Kavli Affiliate: Abraham Duncan Stroock | First 5 Authors: Chao Shang, Wei-Han Chen, Abraham Duncan Stroock, Fengqi You, | Summary: We develop a novel data-driven robust model predictive control (DDRMPC) approach for automatic control of irrigation systems. The fundamental idea is to integrate both mechanistic models, which describe dynamics in soil moisture variations, and data-driven […]
