Kavli Affiliate: Kobus Kuipers | First 5 Authors: Bergin Gjonaj, Jochen Aulbach, Patrick M. Johnson, Allard P. Mosk, Kobus Kuipers | Summary: The field of plasmonics offers a route to control light fields with metallic nanostructures through the excitation of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs). These surface waves, bound to a metal dielectric interface, tightly confine […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joseph M. Thijssen | First 5 Authors: Johannes S. Seldenthuis, Ferry Prins, Joseph M. Thijssen, Herre S. J. van der Zant, | Summary: Many types of molecular motors have been proposed and synthesized in recent years, displaying different kinds of motion, and fueled by different driving forces such as light, heat, or chemical […]

Kavli Affiliate: Joseph M. Thijssen | First 5 Authors: Fatemeh Mirjani, Joseph M. Thijssen, , , | Summary: We present a method which uses density functional theory (DFT) to treat transport through a single molecule connected to two conducting leads for the weak and intermediate coupling. This case is not accessible to standard non-equilibrium Green’s […]
Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | First 5 Authors: Chase P. Broedersz, Martin Depken, Norman Y. Yao, Martin R. Pollak, David A. Weitz | Summary: Cytoskeletal networks of biopolymers are cross-linked by a variety of proteins. Experiments have shown that dynamic cross-linking with physiological linker proteins leads to complex stress relaxation and enables network flow at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kobus Kuipers | First 5 Authors: Ewold Verhagen, René de Waele, L., Kuipers, Albert Polman | Summary: We identify a route towards achieving a negative index of refraction at optical frequencies based on coupling between plasmonic waveguides that support backwards waves. We show how modal symmetry can be exploited in metal-dielectric waveguide pairs […]
Kavli Affiliate: Laurens Kuipers | First 5 Authors: Matteo Burresi, Tobias Kampfrath, Dries van Oosten, Jord C. Prangsma, Bong-Shik Song | Summary: The ability to actively tune the properties of a nanocavity is crucial for future applications in photonics and quantum information. Two important man-made classes of materials have emerged to mold the flow of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jos W. Zwanikken | First 5 Authors: Chantal Valeriani, Philip J. Camp, Jos W. Zwanikken, René van Roij, Marjolein Dijkstra | Summary: The problem of successfully simulating ionic fluids at low temperature and low density states is well known in the simulation literature: using conventional methods, the system is not able to equilibrate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Alessandro Spadoni, Chiara Daraio, , , | Summary: Acoustic lenses are employed in a variety of applications, from biomedical imaging and surgery, to defense systems, but their performance is limited by their linear operational envelope and complexity. Here we show a dramatic focusing effect and the generation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Andrei Faraon, Arka Majumdar, Jelena Vuckovic, , | Summary: The generation of non-classical states of light via photon blockade with time-modulated input is analyzed. We show that improved single photon statistics can be obtained by adequately choosing the parameters of the driving laser pulses. An alternative method, […]
