Interplay between finite thickness and chirality effects on the Casimir-Lifshitz torque with nematic cholesteric liquid crystals

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Rudolf Podgornik | First 5 Authors: Wijnand Broer, Rudolf Podgornik, , , | Summary: We theoretically investigate the combined effects of the chirality and the finite total thickness of nematic cholesteric liquid crystals on the Casimir-Lifshitz torque. We find that, the larger the thickness, the more sinusoidal the angular dependence of the torque […]

Robust MPC with Zone Tracking

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | First 5 Authors: Zhiyinan Huang, Jinfeng Liu, Biao Huang, , | Summary: We propose a robust nonlinear model predictive control design with generalized zone tracking (ZMPC) in this work. The proposed ZMPC has guaranteed convergence into the target zone in the presence of bounded disturbance. The proposed approach achieves this […]

Solving Cosine Similarity Underestimation between High Frequency Words by L2 Norm Discounting

Posted by klaurent UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Saeth Wannasuphoprasit, Yi Zhou, Danushka Bollegala | Summary: Cosine similarity between two words, computed using their contextualised token embeddings obtained from masked language models (MLMs) such as BERT has shown to underestimate the actual similarity between those words (Zhou et al., 2022). This similarity underestimation problem is […]

Emergence of a spin microemulsion in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates

Posted by klaurent UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Ethan C. McGarrigle, Kris T. Delaney, Leon Balents, Glenn H. Fredrickson | Summary: Recent experiments have shown how the interplay between Bose statistics and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can lead to superfluid liquid crystalline (stripe) analogues in cold atomic gases. For isotropic SOC in two spatial dimensions, a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Ethan C. McGarrigle, Kris T. Delaney, Leon Balents, Glenn H. Fredrickson, | Summary: We report the first observation of a “spin microemulsion”– a phase with undulating spin domains resembling classical bicontinuous oil-water-surfactant emulsions — in two-dimensional systems of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with isotropic Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Using […]

DualVector: Unsupervised Vector Font Synthesis with Dual-Part Representation

Posted by klaurent UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Ying-Tian Liu, Zhifei Zhang, Yuan-Chen Guo, Matthew Fisher, Zhaowen Wang | Summary: Automatic generation of fonts can be an important aid to typeface design. Many current approaches regard glyphs as pixelated images, which present artifacts when scaling and inevitable quality losses after vectorization. On the other hand, […]

Super-Resolution Imaging via Angular Magnification

Posted by klaurent UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhou, Dingpeng Liao, Kun Zhang, Zijie Ma, Shikai Wu | Summary: The far-field resolution of optical imaging systems is restricted by the Abbe diffraction limit, a direct result of the wave nature of light. One successful technological approach to circumventing this limit is to reduce the […]
