Polarizing an antiferromagnet by optical engineering of the crystal field

Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | First 5 Authors: Ankit S. Disa, Michael Fechner, Tobia F. Nova, Biaolong Liu, Michael Först | 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 […]

Effect of surface chemistry on incorporation of nanoparticles within calcite single crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Joanna Aizenberg | First 5 Authors: Giulia Magnabosco, Iryna Polishchuk, Francesco Palomba, Enrico Rampazzo, Luca Prodi | Summary: Inclusion of additives into calcite crystals allows one to embed non-native proprieties into the inorganic matrix and obtain new functional materials. Up to now, few parameters have been taken into account to evaluate the efficiency […]

Spectral analysis on standard locally homogeneous spaces

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Fanny Kassel, Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , | Summary: Let $X=G/H$ be a reductive homogeneous space with $H$ noncompact, endowed with a $G$-invariant pseudo-Riemannian structure. Let $L$ be a reductive subgroup of $G$ acting properly on $X$ and $Gamma$ a torsion-free discrete subgroup of $L$. Under the assumption […]

Mitigating the impact of fiber assignment on clustering measurements from deep galaxy redshift surveys

Kavli Affiliate: Naoyuki Tamura | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We examine the impact of fiber assignment on clustering measurements from fiber-fed spectroscopic galaxy surveys. We identify new effects which were absent in previous, relatively shallow galaxy surveys such as Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey . Specifically, we consider deep surveys covering […]

Hamiltonian deformations in quantum mechanics, $Tbar T$, and SYK

Kavli Affiliate: David J. Gross | First 5 Authors: David J. Gross, Jorrit Kruthoff, Andrew Rolph, Edgar Shaghoulian, | Summary: Motivated by $Tbar T$, we introduce and study a wide class of solvable deformations of quantum-mechanical theories. These deformations map the Hamiltonian to a function of itself. We solve these theories by computing all finite-temperature […]

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 […]
