Rydberg Excitons and Trions in Monolayer MoTe$_2$

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Souvik Biswas, Aurélie Champagne, Jonah B. Haber, Supavit Pokawanvit, Joeson Wong | Summary: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors exhibit strong excitonic optical resonances which serve as a microscopic, non-invasive probe into their fundamental properties. Like the hydrogen atom, such excitons can exhibit an entire Rydberg […]

Semantic-Guided Generative Image Augmentation Method with Diffusion Models for Image Classification

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Bohan Li, Xiao Xu, Xinghao Wang, Yutai Hou, Yunlong Feng | Summary: Existing image augmentation methods consist of two categories: perturbation-based methods and generative methods. Perturbation-based methods apply pre-defined perturbations to augment an original image, but only locally vary the image, thus lacking image diversity. In contrast, […]
