Tunable and efficient ultraviolet generation in nanophotonic lithium niobate

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

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 […]

Defeating Broken Symmetry with Doping: Symmetric Resonant Tunneling in Noncentrosymetric Heterostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Jimy Encomendero, Vladimir Protasenko, Debdeep Jena, Huili Grace Xing, | Summary: Resonant tunneling transport in polar heterostructures is intimately connected to the polarization fields emerging from the geometric Berry-phase. In these structures, quantum confinement results not only in a discrete electronic spectrum, but also in built-in polarization […]

Fighting Broken Symmetry with Doping: Toward Polar Resonant Tunneling Diodes with Symmetric Characteristics

Kavli Affiliate: Farhan Rana | First 5 Authors: Jimy Encomendero, Vladimir Protasenko, Farhan Rana, Debdeep Jena, Huili Grace Xing | Summary: The recent demonstration of resonant tunneling transport in nitride semiconductors has led to an invigorated effort to harness this quantum transport regime for practical applications. In polar semiconductors, however, the interplay between fixed polarization […]

A Distributionally Robust Random Utility Model

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: David Müller, Emerson Melo, Ruben Schlotter, , | Summary: This paper introduces the distributionally robust random utility model (DRO-RUM), which allows the preference shock (unobserved heterogeneity) distribution to be misspecified or unknown. We make three contributions using tools from the literature on robust optimization. First, by exploiting […]

Single-Step Synthesis of Shape-Controlled Polymeric Particles using Initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition in Liquid Crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas L. Abbott | First 5 Authors: Apoorva Jain, Soumyamouli Pal, Nicholas L. Abbott, Rong Yang, | Summary: The ability to synthesize shape-controlled polymer particles will benefit a wide range of applications including targeted drug delivery and metamaterials with reconfigurable structures, but existing synthesis approaches are commonly multistep and limited to a narrow […]
