Stabilizing the inverted phase of a WSe$_2$/BLG/WSe$_2$ heterostructure via hydrostatic pressure

Posted by dbos Delft

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 […]

flippy: User friendly and open source framework for lipid membrane simulations

Posted by dbos Delft

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 […]

Quasiparticle and Optical Properties of Carrier-Doped Monolayer MoTe$_2$ from First Principles

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Aurelie Champagne, Jonah B. Haber, Supavit Pokawanvit, Diana Y. Qiu, Souvik Biswas | Summary: The intrinsic weak and highly non-local dielectric screening of two-dimensional materials is well known to lead to high sensitivity of their optoelectronic properties to environment. Less studied theoretically is the role of […]

Wearing Masks Implies Refuting Trump?: Towards Target-specific User Stance Prediction across Events in COVID-19 and US Election 2020

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Hong Zhang, Haewoon Kwak, Wei Gao, Jisun An, | Summary: People who share similar opinions towards controversial topics could form an echo chamber and may share similar political views toward other topics as well. The existence of such connections, which we call connected behavior, gives researchers a […]

Blind Search of The Solar Neighborhood Galactic Disk within 5kpc: 1,179 new Star clusters found in Gaia DR3

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | Authors: Huanbin Chi, Feng Wang, Wenting Wang, Hui Deng, Zhongmu Li | Summary: Studying open clusters (OCs) is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the structure and evolution of the Milky Way. Many previous studies have systematically searched for OCs near the solar system within 1.2 kpc or 20 degrees […]

Tunable and efficient ultraviolet generation in nanophotonic lithium niobate

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Emily Hwang, Nathan Harper, Ryoto Sekine, Luis Ledezma, Alireza Marandi | Summary: On-chip ultraviolet sources are of great interest for building compact and scalable atomic clocks, quantum computers, and spectrometers; however, few material platforms are suitable for integrated ultraviolet light generation. Of these materials, thin-film lithium niobate […]

Anomalous crystalline ordering of particles in a viscoelastic fluid under high shear

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Weitz | Authors: Sijie Sun, Nan Xue, Stefano Aime, Hyoungsoo Kim, Jizhou Tang, Gareth H. McKinley, Howard A. Stone, David A. Weitz | Summary: Addition of particles to a viscoelastic suspension dramatically alters the properties of the mixture, particularly when it is sheared or otherwise processed. Shear-induced stretching of the polymers […]
