Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Hongyuan Li, Shaowei Li, Mit H. Naik, Jingxu Xie, Xinyu Li | Summary: Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) moir’e heterostructures provide an ideal platform to explore the extended Hubbard model1 where long-range Coulomb interactions play a critical role in determining strongly correlated electron states. This has led […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peidong Yang | First 5 Authors: Li Na Quan, Yoonjae Park, Peijun Guo, Mengyu Gao, Jianbo Jin | Summary: Organic-inorganic layered perovskites are two-dimensional quantum wells with layers of lead-halide octahedra stacked between organic ligand barriers. The combination of their dielectric confinement and ionic sublattice results in excitonic excitations with substantial binding energies […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | First 5 Authors: Jack Sayers, Mauro Sereno, Stefano Ettori, Elena Rasia, Weiguang Cui | Summary: We report the non-thermal pressure fraction (Pnt/Ptot) obtained from a three-dimensional triaxial analysis of 16 galaxy clusters in the CLASH sample using gravitational lensing (GL) data primarily from Subaru and HST, X-ray spectroscopic imaging from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Raisa-Ioana Biega, Marina R. Filip, Linn Leppert, Jeffrey B. Neaton, | Summary: Halide double perovskites with alternating silver and pnictogen cations are an emerging family of photoabsorber materials with robust stability and band gaps in the visible range. However, the nature of optical excitations in these […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: Tobias A. Kampmann, David Müller, Clemens Franz Vorsmann, Lukas Paul Weise, Jan Kierfeld | Summary: We discuss the rejection-free event-chain Monte-Carlo algorithm and several applications to dense soft matter systems. Event-chain Monte-Carlo is an alternative to standard local Markov-chain Monte-Carlo schemes, which are based on detailed balance, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | First 5 Authors: Matteo Pompili, Sophie L. N. Hermans, Simon Baier, Hans K. C. Beukers, Peter C. Humphreys | Summary: The distribution of entangled states across the nodes of a future quantum internet will unlock fundamentally new technologies. Here we report on the experimental realization of a three-node entanglement-based quantum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: Titus Neupert, Mark H Fischer, Eliska Greplova, Kenny Choo, Michael Denner | Summary: This is an introductory machine learning course specifically developed with STEM students in mind. We discuss supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. The notes start with an exposition of machine learning methods without neural networks, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Haining Pan, Chun-Xiao Liu, Michael Wimmer, Sankar Das Sarma, | Summary: Majorana zero modes can appear at the wire ends of a 1D topological superconductor and manifest themselves as a quantized zero-bias conductance peak in the tunneling spectroscopy of normal-superconductor junctions. However, in superconductor-semiconductor hybrid nanowires, zero-bias […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hector D. Abruna | First 5 Authors: Yihuang Xiong, Quinn T. Campbell, Julian Fanghanel, Catherine K. Badding, Huaiyu Wang | Summary: The production of hydrogen fuels, via water splitting, is of practical relevance for meeting global energy needs and mitigating the environmental consequences of fossil-fuel-based transportation. Water photoelectrolysis has been proposed as a […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | First 5 Authors: Teresa Symons, Michael Zemcov, James Bock, Yun-Ting Cheng, Brendan Crill | Summary: Point-spread function (PSF) estimation in spatially undersampled images is challenging because large pixels average fine-scale spatial information. This is problematic when fine-resolution details are necessary, as in optimal photometry where knowledge of the illumination pattern […]
