Scaling down an insect-size microrobot, HAMR-VI into HAMR-Jr

Kavli Affiliate: Robert J. Wood | First 5 Authors: Kaushik Jayaram, Jennifer Shum, Samantha Castellanos, E. Farrell Helbling, Robert J. Wood | Summary: Here we present HAMR-Jr, a SI{22.5}{millimeter}, SI{320}{milligram} quadrupedal microrobot. With eight independently actuated degrees of freedom, HAMR-Jr is, to our knowledge, the most mechanically dexterous legged robot at its scale and is […]

Incorporating electronic information into Machine Learning potential energy surfaces via approaching the ground-state electronic energy as a function of atom-based electronic populations

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Xiaowei Xie, Kristin A. Persson, David W. Small, , | Summary: Machine Learning (ML) approximations to Density Functional Theory (DFT) potential energy surfaces (PESs) are showing great promise for reducing the computational cost of accurate molecular simulations, but at present they are not applicable to varying […]

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 […]

Polarizing an antiferromagnet by optical engineering of the crystal field

Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | Summary:Strain engineering is widely used to manipulate the electronic and magnetic properties of complex materials. An attractive route to control magnetism with strain is provided by the piezomagnetic effect, whereby the staggered spin structure of an antiferromagnet is decompensated by breaking the crystal field symmetry, which induces a ferrimagnetic polarization.
