Computational Synthesis of Substrates by Crystal Cleavage

Kavli Affiliate: Kyle Shen | First 5 Authors: Joshua T. Paul, Alice Galdi, Christopher Parzyck, Kyle Shen, Richard G. Hennig | Summary: The discovery of novel substrate materials has been dominated by trial and error, opening the opportunity for a systematic search. To identify stable crystal surfaces, we generate bonding networks for materials from the […]

Mid-Infrared Radiative Emission from Bright Hot Plasmons in Graphene

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Laura Kim, Seyoon Kim, Pankaj K. Jha, Victor W. Brar, Harry A. Atwater | Summary: The decay dynamics of excited carriers in graphene have attracted wide scientific attention, as the gapless Dirac electronic band structure opens up relaxation channels that are not allowed in conventional materials. […]

Kibble-Zurek exponent and chiral transition of the period-4 phase of Rydberg chains

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, Frédéric Mila, , , | Summary: Chains of Rydberg atoms have emerged as an amazing playground to study quantum physics in 1D. Playing with inter-atomic distances and laser detuning, one can in particular explore the commensurate-incommensurate transition out of charge-density waves through the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, […]

Collapse and Revival of an Artificial Atom Coupled to a Structured Photonic Reservoir

Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Vinicius S. Ferreira, Jash Banker, Alp Sipahigil, Matthew H. Matheny, Andrew J. Keller | Summary: A structured electromagnetic reservoir can result in novel dynamics of quantum emitters. In particular, the reservoir can be tailored to have a memory of past interactions with emitters, in contrast to memory-less […]

Photoinduced phase separation in the lead halides is a polaronic effect

Kavli Affiliate: Naomi S. Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: David T. Limmer, Naomi S. Ginsberg, , , | Summary: We present a perspective on recent observations of the photoinduced phase separation of halides in multi-component lead-halide perovskites. The spontaneous phase separation of an initial homogeneous solid solution under steady-state illumination conditions is found experimentally to […]

Effect of surface chemistry on incorporation of nanoparticles within calcite single crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Joanna Aizenberg | First 5 Authors: Giulia Magnabosco, Iryna Polishchuk, Francesco Palomba, Enrico Rampazzo, Luca Prodi | Summary: Inclusion of additives into calcite crystals allows one to embed non-native proprieties into the inorganic matrix and obtain new functional materials. Up to now, few parameters have been taken into account to evaluate the efficiency […]

It’s easy to fool yourself: Case studies on identifying bias and confounding in bio-medical datasets

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brenner | First 5 Authors: Subhashini Venugopalan, Arunachalam Narayanaswamy, Samuel Yang, Anton Geraschenko, Scott Lipnick | Summary: Confounding variables are a well known source of nuisance in biomedical studies. They present an even greater challenge when we combine them with black-box machine learning techniques that operate on raw data. This work presents […]
