Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Florian Brown-Altvater, Gabriel Antonius, Tonatiuh Rangel, Matteo Giantomassi, Claudia Draxl | Summary: Organic molecular crystals are expected to feature appreciable electron-phonon interactions that influence their electronic properties at zero and finite temperature. In this work, we report first-principles calculations and an analysis of the electron-phonon self-energy […]

Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | First 5 Authors: Choongyu Hwang, Wentao Zhang, Koshi Kurashima, Robert Kaindl, Tadashi Adachi | Summary: In the past decade, the advent of time-resolved spectroscopic tools has provided a new ground to explore fundamental interactions in solids and to disentangle degrees of freedom whose coupling leads to broad structures in the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Peidong Yang | First 5 Authors: Qiao Kong, Amael Obliger, Minliang Lai, Mengyu Gao, David T. Limmer | Summary: Halide perovskites have attracted increasing research attention regarding their outstanding optoelectronic applications. Owing to its low activation energy, ion migration is implicated in the long-term stability and many unusual transport behaviors of halide perovskite […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Hongyuan Li, Shaowei Li, Mit H. Naik, Jingxu Xie, Xinyu Li | Summary: Moir’e superlattices in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterostructures can host novel correlated quantum phenomena due to the interplay of narrow moir’e flat bands and strong, long-range Coulomb interactions1-5. However, microscopic knowledge of the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: José Correa, Paul Dütting, Felix Fischer, Kevin Schewior, Bruno Ziliotto | Summary: A prophet inequality states, for some $alphain[0,1]$, that the expected value achievable by a gambler who sequentially observes random variables $X_1,dots,X_n$ and selects one of them is at least an $alpha$ fraction of the maximum […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Yablonovitch | First 5 Authors: Sri Krishna Vadlamani, Tianyao Patrick Xiao, Eli Yablonovitch, , | Summary: Optimization is a major part of human effort. While being mathematical, optimization is also built into physics. For example, physics has the principle of Least Action, the principle of Minimum Entropy Generation, and the Variational Principle. […]
