Finite Phase-separation FRET I: A quantitative model valid for bilayer nanodomains

Kavli Affiliate: Gerald W. Feigenson | Summary:Multicomponent lipid mixtures exhibit complex phase behavior, including coexistence of nanoscopic fluid phases in ternary mixtures mimicking the composition of the outer leaflet of mammalian plasma membrane. The physical mechanisms responsible for the small size of phase domains are unknown, due in part to the difficulty of determining the […]

Limited Perturbation of a DPPC Bilayer by Fluorescent Lipid Probes: A Molecular Dynamics Study

Kavli Affiliate: Gerald W. Feigenson | Summary:The presence and the properties of lipid bilayer nanometer-scale domains might be important for understanding the membranes of living cells. We used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate perturbations of a small patch of fluid-phase DPPC bilayer upon incorporation of fluorescent indocarbocyanine lipid probes commonly used to study membranes […]

Angle-resolved photoemission studies of lattice polaron formation in the cuprate Ca2CuO2Cl2

Kavli Affiliate: Kyle Shen | First 5 Authors: K. M. Shen, K. M. Shen, , , | Summary: To elucidate the nature of the single-particle excitations in the undoped parent cuprates, we have performed a detailed study of Ca2CuO2Cl2 using photoemission spectroscopy. The photoemission lineshapes of the lower Hubbard band are found to be well-described […]

Spurious phase in a model for traffic on a bridge

Kavli Affiliate: David Erickson | Summary:We present high-precision Monte Carlo data for the phase diagram of a two-species driven diffusive system, reminiscent of traffic across a narrow bridge. Earlier studies reported two phases with broken symmetry; the existence of one of these has been the subject of some debate. We show that the disputed phase […]

GALEX Observations of an Energetic Ultraviolet Flare on the dM4e Star GJ 3685A

Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | Summary:The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite has obtained high time resolution ultraviolet photometry during a large flare on the M4 dwarf star GJ 3685A. Simultaneous NUV (1750 – 2800A) and FUV (1350 – 1750A) time-tagged photometry with time resolution better than 0.1 s shows that the overall brightness in […]

Missing Quasiparticles and the Chemical Potential Puzzle in the Doping Evolution of the Cuprate Superconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Kyle Shen | First 5 Authors: K. M. Shen, K. M. Shen, , , | Summary: The evolution of Ca$_2-x$Na$_x$CuO$_2$Cl$_2$ from Mott insulator to superconductor was studied using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. By measuring both the excitations near the Fermi energy as well as non-bonding states, we tracked the doping dependence of the electronic […]

A Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Survey of Coronal Forbidden Lines in Late-Type Stars

Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | Summary:We present a survey of coronal forbidden lines detected in Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) spectra of nearby stars. Two strong coronal features, Fe XVIII 974 A and Fe XIX 1118 A, are observed in 10 of the 26 stars in our sample. Various other coronal forbidden lines, observed […]
