Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | Summary:Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) has presented great potential in functional imaging, benefiting from its ability to reconstruct deep microvasculature. However, the hemodynamic reconstruction is compromised by sparsity in the ULM data, as a limited number of MB tracks cannot sample the complete speed profile in one vessel. Here, we propose […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | Summary:Compensated ferrimagnets enable ferromagnet-like spin transport without net magnetization. We study the spin Seebeck effect in a compensated ferrimagnet/normal-metal junction using a four-sublattice model in which sublattice inequivalence arises from differences in exchange couplings, in contrast to the previously studied anisotropy-based mechanism. Within the nonequilibrium Green’s function framework, we show […]
Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | Summary:We develop and analyze a class of matrix-valued spherical-convolution kernels stemming from scaled zonal functions on $mathbbS^2,$ the unit sphere embedded in $mathbbR^3$. The construct of these kernels utilizes the Legendre differential equation and requires less stringent regularity conditions on the original zonal kernels. The induced integral operators are simple […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | Summary:We formulate a generalized continuum theory of phonon angular momentum in crystals by introducing a local SO(3) material frame in addition to the macroscopic displacement field. The local frame represents rotational optical degrees of freedom of the unit cell and brings acoustic displacement modes and optical rotational modes into a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | Summary:In process operations, it is desirable to manage the sensitivity of the system output against external disturbance in the form of finite $mathcalL_2$-gain stabilization. This matter is, however, nonsensical for stochastic systems because the stochastic uncertainties in the control input almost always lead to an unbounded $mathcalL_2$ gain from the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | Summary:We extend ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) modulation theory to describe systems in which bulk and boundary states of topological materials coexist, with both appearing at the same energy. As an application of the formulation, we investigate the enhancement of the Gilbert damping constant on the $(110)$ surface of a $d$-wave superconductor […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rudolf Podgornik | Summary:We study the effect of asymmetry in solvent and ionic size on the equilibrium properties of multivalent ionic solutions near a charged surface. For a single ionic species in solution, we derive a generalized Grahame equation at the charged surface. For general size ratio between the ions and the solvent, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | Summary:We theoretically investigate the current-induced excitation of torsional vibrations in a suspended carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dot. By considering a CNT clamped between half-metallic ferromagnetic electrodes with an antiparallel magnetization configuration, we demonstrate that the spin-rotation coupling enables the transfer of angular momentum from electron spins to the mechanical torsional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | Summary:We theoretically investigate spin-valley-locked tunneling transport in a transition-metal dichalcogenide/ferromagnetic-insulator heterostructure under a perpendicular magnetic field, driven by the spin Seebeck effect. We demonstrate that spin-valley coupling together with the magnetic-field-induced valley-asymmetric Landau-level structure enables the generation of a valley-polarized spin current from valley-selective spin excitation. We compare the spin […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Nozaki | Summary:We investigate the complex time evolution of a vacuum state with the insertion of a local primary operator in two-dimensional conformal field theories (2d CFTs). This complex time evolution can be considered as a composite process constructed from Lorentzian time evolution and a Euclidean evolution induced by a post-selected measurement. […]
