Evolved interactions stabilize many coexisting phases in multicomponent liquids

Kavli Affiliate: Liedewij Laan | First 5 Authors: David Zwicker, Liedewij Laan, , , | Summary: Phase separation has emerged as an essential concept for the spatial organization inside biological cells. However, despite the clear relevance to virtually all physiological functions, we understand surprisingly little about what phases form in a system of many interacting […]

Atomic fluctuations lifting the energy degeneracy in Si/SiGe quantum dots

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Brian Paquelet Wuetz, Merritt P. Losert, Sebastian Koelling, Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Anne-Marije J. Zwerver | Summary: Electron spins in Si/SiGe quantum wells suffer from nearly degenerate conduction band valleys, which compete with the spin degree of freedom in the formation of qubits. Despite attempts to enhance […]
