Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Rachel Woods-Robinson, Vladan Stevanović, Stephan Lany, Karen N. Heinselman, Matthew K. Horton | Summary: In materials science, it is often assumed that ground state crystal structures predicted by density functional theory are the easiest polymorphs to synthesize. Ternary nitride materials, with many possible metastable polymorphs, provide […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Hamed Pourbeyram, Pavel Sidorenko, Fan Wu, Logan Wright, Demetrios Christodoulides | Summary: An equilibrium thermodynamic framework that describes highly-multimode optical processes was introduced recently. This theory predicts the outcomes of complex linear and nonlinear multimode interactions based on thermodynamic principles and provides analytic results for the distributions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Hamed Pourbeyram, Pavel Sidorenko, Fan Wu, Nicholas Bender, Logan Wright | Summary: Recent years have witnessed a resurgence of interest in nonlinear multimode optical systems where a host of intriguing effects have been observed that are impossible in single-mode settings. While nonlinearity can provide a rich environment […]
Kavli Affiliate: Fukun Liu | First 5 Authors: Xinwen Shu, Wenjie Zhang, Shuo Li, Ning Jiang, Liming Dou | Summary: Optical transient surveys have led to the discovery of dozens of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) by massive black hole in the centers of galaxies. Despite extensive searches, X-ray follow-up observations have produced no or […]

Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Matthijs H. J. de Jong, Jie Li, Claus Gärtner, Richard A. Norte, Simon Gröblacher | Summary: Studying the interplay between multiple coupled mechanical resonators is a promising new direction in the field of optomechanics. Understanding the dynamics of the interaction can lead to rich new effects, such […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Yasunori Lee, Yuji Tachikawa, , , | Summary: Global gauge anomalies in $6d$ associated with non-trivial homotopy groups $pi_6(G)$ for $G=SU(2)$, $SU(3)$, and $G_2$ were computed and utilized in the past. In the modern bordism point of view of anomalies, however, they come from the bordism groups […]
Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: Peter Bult, Diego Altamirano, Zaven Arzoumanian, Anna V. Bilous, Deepto Chakrabarty | Summary: In this work we report on observations with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer of the known neutron star X-ray transient XTE J1739-285. We observed the source in 2020 February and March, finding it […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | First 5 Authors: Thomas Essinger-Hileman, Trevor Oxholm, Gage Siebert, Peter Ade, Christopher Anderson | Summary: This work describes the optical design of the EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM). EXCLAIM is a balloon-borne telescope that will measure integrated line emission from carbon monoxide (CO) at redshifts z < 1 […]
