Angle-resolved photoemission studies of lattice polaron formation in the cuprate Ca2CuO2Cl2

Kavli Affiliate: Kyle Shen | First 5 Authors: K. M. Shen, K. M. Shen, , , | Summary: To elucidate the nature of the single-particle excitations in the undoped parent cuprates, we have performed a detailed study of Ca2CuO2Cl2 using photoemission spectroscopy. The photoemission lineshapes of the lower Hubbard band are found to be well-described […]

Stresses in Smooth Flows of Dense Granular Media

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | Summary:The form of the stress tensor is investigated in smooth, dense granular flows which are generated in split-bottom shear geometries. We find that, within a fluctuation fluidized spatial region, the form of the stress tensor is directly dictated by the flow field: The stress and strain-rate tensors are co-linear. The […]

Terahertz All-Optical Modulation in a Silicon-Polymer Hybrid System

Kavli Affiliate: Axel Scherer | Summary:Although Gigahertz-scale free-carrier modulators have been previously demonstrated in silicon, intensity modulators operating at Terahertz speeds have not been reported because of silicon’s weak ultrafast optical nonlinearity. We have demonstrated intensity modulation of light with light in a silicon-polymer integrated waveguide device, based on the all-optical Kerr effect – the […]

Conservation rules, their breakdown, and optimality in Caenorhabditis sinusoidal locomotion

Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. Sternberg | Summary:Undulatory locomotion is common to nematodes as well as to limbless vertebrates, but its control is not understood in spite of the identification of hundred of genes involved in Caenorhabditis elegans locomotion. To reveal the mechanisms of nematode undulatory locomotion, we quantitatively analyzed the movement of C. elegans with […]

A classical key distribution system based on Johnson (like) noise – How secure?

Kavli Affiliate: Amnon Yariv | Summary:We present a comprehensive analysis of the Johnson (like) noise based classical key-distribution scheme presented by Kish [1]. We suggest two passive attack strategies that enable an adversary to gain complete knowledge of the exchanged key. The first approach exploits the transient response of the voltage difference on the transmission […]

Continuum Description of the Cytoskeleton: Ring Formation in the Cell Cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Marileen Dogterom | Summary:Motivated by the formation of ring-like filament structures in the cortex of plant and animal cells, we study the dynamics of a two-dimensional layer of cytoskeletal filaments and motor proteins near a surface by a general continuum theory. As a result of active processes, dynamic patterns of filament orientation and […]

Continuum approach to wide shear zones in quasi-static granular matter

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | Summary:Slow and dense granular flows often exhibit narrow shear bands, making them ill-suited for a continuum description. However, smooth granular flows have been shown to occur in specific geometries such as linear shear in the absence of gravity, slow inclined plane flows and, recently, flows in split-bottom Couette geometries. The […]

Spurious phase in a model for traffic on a bridge

Kavli Affiliate: David Erickson | Summary:We present high-precision Monte Carlo data for the phase diagram of a two-species driven diffusive system, reminiscent of traffic across a narrow bridge. Earlier studies reported two phases with broken symmetry; the existence of one of these has been the subject of some debate. We show that the disputed phase […]

GALEX Observations of an Energetic Ultraviolet Flare on the dM4e Star GJ 3685A

Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | Summary:The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite has obtained high time resolution ultraviolet photometry during a large flare on the M4 dwarf star GJ 3685A. Simultaneous NUV (1750 – 2800A) and FUV (1350 – 1750A) time-tagged photometry with time resolution better than 0.1 s shows that the overall brightness in […]
