Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Lue Wu, Maodong Gao, Jin-Yu Liu, Hao-Jing Chen, Kellan Colburn | Summary: Thermal silica is a common dielectric used in all silicon-photonic circuits. And bound hydroxyl ions (Si-OH) can provide a significant component of optical loss in this material on account of the wet nature of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Srujan Meesala, Steven Wood, David Lake, Piero Chiappina, Changchun Zhong | Summary: Modern computing and communication technologies such as supercomputers and the internet are based on optically connected networks of microwave frequency information processors. In recent years, an analogous architecture has emerged for quantum networks with optically […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | Authors: Rachel Woods-Robinson, Yihuang Xiong, Jimmy-Xuan Shen, Nicholas Winner, Matthew K. Horton, Mark Asta, Alex M. Ganose, Geoffroy Hautier, Kristin A. Persson | Summary: Many semiconductors present weak or forbidden transitions at their fundamental band gaps, inducing a widened region of transparency. This occurs in high-performing n-type transparent conductors […]

Horton | Summary: Many semiconductors present weak or forbidden transitions at their fundamental band gaps, inducing a widened region of transparency. This occurs in high-performing n-type transparent conductors (TCs) such as Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO), however thus […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Harris Pirie, Eric Mascot, Christian E. Matt, Yu Liu, Pengcheng Chen | Summary: A Kondo lattice is often electrically insulating at low temperatures. However, several recent experiments have detected signatures of bulk metallicity within this Kondo insulating phase. Here we visualize the real-space charge landscape […]
Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: N. Charles, R. Chelakkot, M. Gazzola, B. Young, L. Mahadevan | Summary: Of the vast variety of animal gaits, one of the most striking is the non-planar undulating motion of a sidewinder. But non-planar gaits are not limited to sidewinders. Here we report a new non-planar mode […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zui Tao, Bowen Shen, Wenjin Zhao, Nai Chao Hu, Tingxin Li | Summary: The spin Hall effect (SHE), in which electrical current generates transverse spin current, plays an important role in spintronics for the generation and manipulation of spin-polarized electrons. The phenomenon originates from spin-orbit coupling. In […]
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 […]
