Designing angle-independent structural colors using Monte Carlo simulations of multiple scattering

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Vinothan N. Manoharan | First 5 Authors: Victoria Hwang, Anna B. Stephenson, Solomon Barkley, Soeren Brandt, Ming Xiao | Summary: Disordered nanostructures with correlations on the scale of visible wavelengths can show angle-independent structural colors. These materials could replace dyes in some applications because the color is tunable and resists photobleaching. However, designing […]

Amplify-and-Forward Relaying for Hierarchical Over-the-Air Computation

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Jie Xu, Vincent K. N. Lau, Shuguang Cui, | Summary: This paper studies a hierarchical over-the-air computation (AirComp) network over a large area, in which multiple relays are exploited to facilitate data aggregation from massive WDs. We present a two-phase amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying protocol. In […]

An Ising Hamiltonian Solver using Stochastic Phase-Transition Nano- Oscillators

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell Schlom | First 5 Authors: Sourav Dutta, Abhishek Khanna, Adou S. Assoa, Hanjong Paik, Darrell Schlom | Summary: Computationally hard problems, including combinatorial optimization, can be mapped into the problem of finding the ground-state of an Ising Hamiltonian. Building physical systems with collective computational ability and distributed parallel processing capability can accelerate […]

Microtextures in the Chelyabinsk impact breccia reveal the history of Phosphorus-Olivine-Assemblages in chondrites

Posted by dbos Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Paul D. Asimow | First 5 Authors: Craig R. Walton, Ioannis Baziotis, Ana Černok, Oliver Shorttle, Paul D. Asimow | Summary: The geochemistry and textural associations of chondritic phosphate minerals can provide insights into the geological histories of parental asteroids, but the processes governing their formation and deformation remain poorly constrained. Here, we […]

Surface wave non-reciprocity via time-modulated metamaterials

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Antonio Palermo, Paolo Celli, Behrooz Yousefzadeh, Chiara Daraio, Alessandro Marzani | Summary: We investigate how Rayleigh waves interact with modulated resonators located on the free surface of a semi-infinite elastic medium. We begin by studying the dynamics of a single resonator with time-modulated stiffness. In particular, we […]

Points2Surf: Learning Implicit Surfaces from Point Cloud Patches

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Philipp Erler, Paul Guerrero, Stefan Ohrhallinger, Michael Wimmer, Niloy J. Mitra | Summary: A key step in any scanning-based asset creation workflow is to convert unordered point clouds to a surface. Classical methods (e.g., Poisson reconstruction) start to degrade in the presence of noisy and partial scans. […]

Band gap renormalization, carrier mobilities, and the electron-phonon self-energy in crystalline naphthalene

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

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 […]

Ultrafast dynamics of electron-phonon coupling in a metal

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

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 […]
