Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Máté Kedves, Bálint Szentpéteri, Albin Márffy, Endre Tóvári, Nikos Papadopoulos | Summary: Bilayer graphene (BLG) was recently shown to host a band-inverted phase with unconventional topology emerging from the Ising-type spin–orbit interaction (SOI) induced by the proximity of transition metal dichalcogenides with large intrinsic SOI. Here, we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Timon Idema | First 5 Authors: George Dadunashvili, Timon Idema, , , | Summary: Animal cells are both encapsulated and subdivided by lipid bilayer membranes. Beyond just acting as boundaries, these membranes’ shapes influence the function of cells and their compartments. Physically, membranes are two-dimensional fluids with complex elastic behavior, which makes it […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Kostas Vilkelis, Ady Stern, Anton Akhmerov, , | Summary: Orbital diamagnetism requires closed orbits according to the Liftshiftz-Kosevich theory. Therefore, one might expect that open Fermi surfaces do not have a diamagnetic response. Contrary to this expectation, we show that open orbits in finite systems do contribute […]

Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Christian G. Prosko, Ivan Kulesh, Michael Chan, Lin Han, Di Xiao | Summary: A single electron shared between two levels threaded by a magnetic flux is an irreducibly simple quantum system in which interference is predicted to occur. We demonstrate tuning of the tunnel coupling between two […]

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Merritt P. Losert, M. A. Eriksson, Robert Joynt, Rajib Rahman, Giordano Scappucci | Summary: Silicon/silicon-germanium heterostructures have many important advantages for hosting spin qubits. However, controlling the valley splitting (the energy splitting between the two low-lying conduction-band valleys) remains a critical challenge for ensuring qubit reliability. Broad […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Markus Schütz, Bernhard Kerbl, Philip Klaus, Michael Wimmer, | Summary: About: We introduce a GPU-accelerated LOD construction process that creates a hybrid voxel-point-based variation of the widely used layered point cloud (LPC) structure for LOD rendering and streaming. The massive performance improvements provided by the GPU allow […]

Kavli Affiliate: Toeno Van Der Sar | First 5 Authors: Yufan Li, Fabian A. Gerritsma, Samer Kurdi, Nina Codreanu, Simon Gröblacher | Summary: Magnetic imaging with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) spins in diamond is becoming an established tool for studying nanoscale physics in condensed matter systems. However, the optical access required for NV spin readout remains an […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herre Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Jan N. Kirchhof, Yuefeng Yu, Denis Yagodkin, Nele Stetzuhn, Daniel B. de Araújo | Summary: Nanomechanical spectroscopy (NMS) is a recently developed approach to determine optical absorption spectra of nanoscale materials via mechanical measurements. It is based on measuring changes in the resonance frequency of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Thomas Luschmann, Alexander Jung, Stephan Geprägs, Franz X. Haslbeck, Achim Marx | Summary: Lithium niobate (LNO) is a well established material for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices including resonators, delay lines and filters. Recently, multi-layer substrates based on LNO thin films have become commercially available. Here, we […]
