Transport signatures of surface states in a Weyl semimetal: evidence of field driven Fermi arc interferometry

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Neaton | First 5 Authors: Nityan L. Nair, Marie-Eve Boulanger, Francis Laliberté, Sinead Griffin, Sanyum Channa | Summary: A signature property of Weyl semimetals is the existence of topologically protected surface states – arcs in momentum space that connect Weyl points in the bulk. However, the presence of bulks states makes detection […]

Andreev reflection at the interface with an oxide in the quantum Hall regime

Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | First 5 Authors: Yusuke Kozuka, Atsushi Sakaguchi, Joseph Falson, Atsushi Tsukazaki, Masashi Kawasaki | Summary: Quantum Hall/superconductor junctions have been an attractive topic as the two macroscopically quantum states join at the interface. Despite longstanding efforts, however, experimental understanding of this system has not been settled yet. One of the […]

Robust Model Predictive Control of Irrigation Systems with Active Uncertainty Learning and Data Analytics

Kavli Affiliate: Abraham Duncan Stroock | First 5 Authors: Chao Shang, Wei-Han Chen, Abraham Duncan Stroock, Fengqi You, | Summary: We develop a novel data-driven robust model predictive control (DDRMPC) approach for automatic control of irrigation systems. The fundamental idea is to integrate both mechanistic models, which describe dynamics in soil moisture variations, and data-driven […]

Cathodoluminescence-based nanoscopic thermometry in a lanthanide-doped phosphor

Kavli Affiliate: Naomi Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: Clarice D. Aiello, Andrea D. Pickel, Edward Barnard, Rebecca B. Wai, Christian Monachon | Summary: Crucial to analyze phenomena as varied as plasmonic hot spots and the spread of cancer in living tissue, nanoscale thermometry is challenging: probes are usually larger than the sample under study, and […]

Disentangling lattice and electronic contributions to the metal-insulator transition from bulk vs. layer confined RNiO$_3$

Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | First 5 Authors: Alexandru B. Georgescu, Oleg E. Peil, Ankit Disa, Antoine Georges, Andrew J. Millis | Summary: In complex oxide materials, changes in electronic properties are often associated with changes in crystal structure, raising the question of the relative roles of the electronic and lattice effects in driving the […]

Harnessing Avidity: Quantifying Entropic and Energetic Effects of Linker Length and Rigidity Required for Multivalent Binding of Antibodies to HIV-1 Spikes

Kavli Affiliate: Pamela J. Bjorkman | First 5 Authors: Tal Einav, Shahrzad Yazdi, Aaron Coey, Pamela J. Bjorkman, Rob Phillips | Summary: Due to the low density of envelope (Env) spikes on the surface of HIV-1, neutralizing IgG antibodies rarely bind bivalently using both antigen-binding arms (Fabs) to crosslink between spikes (inter-spike crosslinking), instead resorting […]

Absolute and arbitrary orientation of single molecule shapes

Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. K. Rothemund | First 5 Authors: Ashwin Gopinath, Chris Thachuk, Anya Mitskovets, Harry A. Atwater, David Kirkpatrick | Summary: DNA origami is a modular platform for the combination of molecular and colloidal components to create optical, electronic, and biological devices. Integration of such nanoscale devices with microfabricated connectors and circuits is […]

Topological Excitations of Hidden Order in URu$_2$Si$_2$ Under Extreme Electric Fields

Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw | First 5 Authors: Laurel E Winter, Arkady Shekhter, Brad Ramshaw, Ryan E. Baumbach, Eric D. Bauer | Summary: Quantum materials are epitomized by the influence of collective modes upon their macroscopic properties. Relatively few examples exist, however, whereby coherence of the ground-state wavefunction directly contributes to the conductivity. Notable examples […]
