Cascades and Reconnection in Interacting Vortex Filaments

Kavli Affiliate: Shmuel M. Rubinstein | First 5 Authors: Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico, Ryan McKeown, Michael P. Brenner, Shmuel M. Rubinstein, Alain Pumir | Summary: At high Reynolds number, the interaction between two vortex tubes leads to intense velocity gradients, which are at the heart of fluid turbulence. This vorticity amplification comes about through two different instability […]

Two-dimensional charge order stabilized in clean polytype heterostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Suk Hyun Sung, Noah Schnitzer, Steve Novakov, Ismail El Baggari, Xiangpeng Luo | Summary: Compelling evidence suggests distinct correlated electron behavior may exist only in clean 2D materials such as 1T-TaS2. Unfortunately, experiment and theory suggest that extrinsic disorder in free standing 2D layers disrupts correlation-driven […]

Imaging local discharge cascades for correlated electrons in WS2/WSe2 moiré superlattices

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 […]

Vibrational relaxation dynamics in layered perovskite quantum wells

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 […]

Chemically-Localized Resonant Excitons in Silver-Pnictogen Halide Double Perovskites

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 […]

Event-Chain Monte-Carlo Simulations of Dense Soft Matter Systems

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, […]
