Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Yihang Zeng, Zhengchao Xia, Kaifei Kang, Jiacheng Zhu, Patrick Knüppel | Summary: Chern insulators, which are the lattice analogs of the quantum Hall states, can potentially manifest high-temperature topological orders at zero magnetic field to enable next-generation topological quantum devices. To date, integer Chern insulators have been […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Hanqing Liu, Gabriele Baglioni, Carla B. Constant, Herre S. J. van der Zant, Peter G. Steeneken | Summary: The high susceptibility of ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) material resonators to force and temperature makes them ideal systems for sensing applications and exploring thermomechanical coupling. Although […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich B. Wiesner | First 5 Authors: Dmitry Karpov, Kenza Djeghdi, Mirko Holler, S. Narjes Abdollahi, Karolina Godlewska | Summary: Highly periodic structures are often said to convey the beauty of nature. However, most material properties are strongly influenced by the defects they contain. On the mesoscopic scale, molecular self-assembly exemplifies this interplay; […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | First 5 Authors: Yong Yu, Dorian Oser, Gaia Da Prato, Emanuele Urbinati, Javier Carrasco Ávila | Summary: Single quantum emitters embedded in solid-state hosts are an ideal platform for realizing quantum information processors and quantum network nodes. Among the currently-investigated candidates, Er$^{3+}$ ions are particularly appealing due to their 1.5 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. Sternberg | First 5 Authors: Tingtao Zhou, Xuan Wan, Daniel Zhengyu Huang, Zongyi Li, Zhiwei Peng | Summary: Bacteria can swim upstream due to hydrodynamic interactions with the fluid flow in a narrow tube, and pose a clinical threat of urinary tract infection to patients implanted with catheters. Coatings and structured […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | First 5 Authors: Guru Khalsa, Jeffrey Z. Kaaret, Nicole A. Benedek, , | Summary: We use theory and first-principles calculations to explore mechanisms for control of the translational and point group symmetries of crystals in ultrafast optical experiments. We focus in particular on mechanisms that exploit anharmonic (biquadratic) lattice […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Walker, John Dagdelen, Kevin Cruse, Sanghoon Lee, Samuel Gleason | Summary: Although gold nanorods have been the subject of much research, the pathways for controlling their shape and thereby their optical properties remain largely heuristically understood. Although it is apparent that the simultaneous presence of and […]
