Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | First 5 Authors: Ethan T. Ritz, Nicole A. Benedek, , , | Summary: The sensitivity of materials properties, particularly those of perovskite oxides, to epitaxial strain has been exploited to great advantage to create materials with new or enhanced properties. Although it has certainly been recognized that mismatch in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Gabriele Librandi, Eleonora Tubaldi, Katia Bertoldi, , | Summary: Nonreciprocity can be passively achieved by harnessing material nonlinearities. In particular, networks of nonlinear bistable elements with asymmetric energy landscapes have recently been shown to support unidirectional transition waves. However, in these systems energy can be transferred only […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Souvik Biswas, William S. Whitney, Meir Y. Grajower, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Black phosphorus (BP) offers considerable promise for infrared and visible photonics. Efficient tuning of the bandgap and higher subbands in BP by modulation of the Fermi level or application of vertical electric […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Katherine A. Cochrane, Jun-Ho Lee, Christoph Kastl, Jonah B. Haber, Tianyi Zhang | Summary: We demonstrate the creation of a spin-1/2 state via the atomically controlled generation of magnetic carbon radical ions (CRIs) in synthetic two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Hydrogenated carbon impurities located at chalcogen […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Ioana Craiciu, Mi Lei, Jake Rochman, John G. Bartholomew, Andrei Faraon | Summary: Quantum networks will enable a variety of applications, from secure communication and precision measurements to distributed quantum computing. Storing photonic qubits and controlling their frequency, bandwidth and retrieval time are important functionalities in future […]
Kavli Affiliate: Julia R. Greer | First 5 Authors: Ottman A. Tertuliano, Bryce W. Edwards, Lucas R. Meza, Vikram S. Deshpande, Julia R. Greer | Summary: Natural hard composites like human bone possess a combination of strength and toughness that exceeds that of their constituents and of many engineered composites. This augmentation is attributed to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Alex M. Ganose, Junsoo Park, Alireza Faghaninia, Rachel Woods-Robinson, Kristin A. Persson | Summary: The electronic transport behaviour of materials determines their suitability for technological applications. We develop an efficient method for calculating carrier scattering rates of solid-state semiconductors and insulators from first principles inputs. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Yuchao Chen, Yunus A. Kinkhabwala, Boris Barron, Matthew Hall, Tomas A. Arias | Summary: Decisions regarding housing, transportation, and resource allocation would all benefit from accurate small-area population forecasts. While various tried-and-tested forecast methods exist at regional scales, developing an accurate neighborhood-scale forecast remains a challenge partly […]
