Computational Synthesis of Substrates by Crystal Cleavage

Kavli Affiliate: Kyle Shen | First 5 Authors: Joshua T. Paul, Joshua T. Paul, , , | Summary: The discovery of novel substrate materials has been dominated by trial and error, opening the opportunity for a systematic search. To identify stable crystal surfaces, we generate bonding networks for materials from the Materials Project database with […]

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. […]

Symmetry-breaking and spin-blockage effects on carrier dynamics in single-layer tungsten diselenide

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | Summary:Understanding carrier creation and evolution in materials initiated by pulsed optical excitation is central to developing ultrafast optoelectronics. We demonstrate herein that the dynamic response of a system can be drastically modified when its physical dimension is reduced to the atomic scale, the ultimate limit of device miniaturization. A comparative […]

Benchmarking the Neural Linear Model for Regression

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher Ober| First 5 Authors: Sebastian W. Ober, Sebastian W. Ober, , , | Summary:The neural linear model is a simple adaptive Bayesian linear regression method that has recently been used in a number of problems ranging from Bayesian optimization to reinforcement learning. Despite its apparent successes in these settings, to the best […]

It’s easy to fool yourself: Case studies on identifying bias and confounding in bio-medical datasets

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brenner | First 5 Authors: Subhashini Venugopalan, Arunachalam Narayanaswamy, Samuel Yang, Anton Geraschenko, Scott Lipnick | Summary: Confounding variables are a well known source of nuisance in biomedical studies. They present an even greater challenge when we combine them with black-box machine learning techniques that operate on raw data. This work presents […]
