Bloch-Lorentz magnetoresistance oscillations in delafossites

Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Kostas Vilkelis, Lin Wang, Anton Akhmerov, , | Summary: Recent measurements of the out-of-plane magnetoresistance of delafossites (PdCoO$_2$ and PtCoO$_2$) observed oscillations which closely resemble the Aharanov-Bohm effect. We develop a semiclassical theory of these oscillations and show that they are a consequence of the quasi-2D dispersion […]

Bloch-Lorentz magnetoresistance oscillations in delafossites

Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Kostas Vilkelis, Lin Wang, Anton Akhmerov, , | Summary: Recent measurements of the out-of-plane magnetoresistance of delafossites (PdCoO$_2$ and PtCoO$_2$) observed oscillations closely resembling the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Here, we show that the magnetoresistance oscillations are explained by the Bloch-like oscillations of the out-of-plane electron trajectories. We develop […]

Gravitational wave constraints on the primordial black hole dominated early universe

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Guillem Domènech, Chunshan Lin, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: We calculate the gravitational waves (GWs) induced by the density fluctuations due to inhomogeneous distribution of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the case where PBHs eventually dominate and reheat the universe by Hawking evaporation. The initial PBH density […]

Games and Computational Complexity

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Zeeshan Ahmed, Alapan Chaudhuri, Kunwar Shaanjeet Singh Grover, Hrishi Narayanan, Manasvi Vaidyula | Summary: Computers are known to solve a wide spectrum of problems, however not all problems are computationally solvable. Further, the solvable problems themselves vary on the amount of computational resources they require for being […]

Tiny-box: A tool for the versatile development and characterization of low noise fast X-ray imaging detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Foster | First 5 Authors: Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, Sven Herrmann, Steven Allen, Jack Hirschman, Glenn Morris | Summary: X-ray Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) have been the workhorse for soft X-ray astronomical instruments for the past quarter century. They provide broad energy response, extremely low electronic read noise, and good energy resolution in soft […]
