Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Ahmad Zareei, Deng Pan, Ariel Amir, , | Summary: We study the dynamics of flow-networks in porous media using a pore-network model. First, we consider a class of erosion dynamics assuming a constitutive law depending on flow rate, local velocities, or shear stress at the walls. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Santi Roca-Fàbrega, Ji-hoon Kim, Loic Hausammann, Kentaro Nagamine, Johnny W. Powell | Summary: We present a suite of high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations to $z=4$ of a $10^{12},{rm M}_{odot}$ halo at $z=0$, obtained using seven contemporary astrophysical simulation codes widely used in the numerical galaxy formation community. Physics […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Scott A. Hughes, Gaurav Khanna | Summary: A powerful technique to calculate gravitational radiation from binary systems involves a perturbative expansion: if the masses of the two bodies are very different, the "small" body is treated as a point particle […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Andrey Kravtsov, Viraj Manwadkar, , , | Summary: We present a simple regulator-type framework designed specifically for modelling formation of dwarf galaxies. We explore sensitivity of model predictions for the stellar mass–halo mass and stellar mass–metallicity relations to different modelling choices and parameter values. Despite its simplicity, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Hui-Ke Jin, Rong-Yang Sun, Hong-Hao Tu, Yi Zhou, | Summary: The simplest spin-orbital model can host a nematic spin-orbital liquid state on the triangular lattice. We provide clear evidence that the ground state of the SU(4) Kugel-Khomskii model on the triangular lattice can be well described by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Ligong Bian, Rong-Gen Cai, Shuo Cao, Zhoujian Cao, He Gao | Summary: It has been a half-decade since the first direct detection of gravitational waves, which signifies the coming of the era of the gravitational-wave astronomy and gravitational-wave cosmology. The increasing number of the detected gravitational-wave events […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Marina R. Filip, Jonah B. Haber, Jeffrey B. Neaton, , | Summary: The ab initio Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) approach, an established method for the study of excitons in materials, is typically solved in a limit where only static screening from electrons is captured. Here, we generalize […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | First 5 Authors: Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana Botti, Mariano Cababie, Gustavo Cancelo | Summary: We use a science-grade Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) operating in a low-radiation background environment to develop a semi-empirical model that characterizes the origin of single-electron events in CCDs. We identify, separate, and quantify […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea D. Caviglia | First 5 Authors: Nicola Manca, Giordano Mattoni, Marco Pelassa, Warner J. Venstra, Herre S. J. van der Zant | Summary: Strain engineering is one of the most effective approaches to manipulate the physical state of materials, control their electronic properties, and enable crucial functionalities. Because of their rich phase […]
