Microscopic Theory of Magnetic Disorder-Induced Decoherence in Superconducting Nb Films

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Evan Sheridan, Thomas F. Harrelson, Eric Sivonxay, Kristin A. Persson, M. Virginia P. AltoĆ© | Summary: The performance of superconducting qubits is orders of magnitude below what is expected from theoretical estimates based on the loss tangents of the constituent bulk materials. This has been attributed […]

Transcriptional and mutational signatures of the aging germline

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Evan Witt, Christopher B Langer, Nicolas Svetec and Li Zhao | Summary: Abstract Aging is a complex biological process that is accompanied by changes in gene expression and mutational load. In many species, including humans, older fathers pass on more paternally-derived de novo mutations; however, the cellular basis and […]

Origin of high thermal conductivity in disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene films: ballistic phonons within enlarged crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Taeyong Kim, Stavros X. Drakopoulos, Sara Ronca, Austin J. Minnich, | Summary: The thermal transport properties of oriented polymers are of fundamental and practical interest. High thermal conductivities ($gtrsim 50$ Wm$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$) have recently been reported in disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) films, considerably exceeding prior […]
