Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Zhu-Xi Luo, Urban F. P. Seifert, Leon Balents, , | Summary: When two layers of two-dimensional materials are assembled with a relative twist, moir’e patterns arise, inducing a tremendous wealth of exotic phenomena. In this work, we consider twisting two triangular lattices hosting Dirac quantum spin liquids. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Leon Balents, , , , | Summary: We show that triangle-based antiferromagnets with "anti-chiral" order display a non-trivial dependence of the spin orientation with an in-plane field. The spins evolve from rotating in the opposite sense to the field at very low fields to rotating in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Léo Mangeolle, Leon Balents, Lucile Savary, , | Summary: We study the intrinsic scattering of phonons by a general quantum degree of freedom, i.e. a fluctuating "field" $Q$, which may have completely general correlations, restricted only by unitarity and translational invariance. From the induced scattering rates, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Urban F. P. Seifert, Mengxing Ye, Leon Balents, , | Summary: Optical pump-probe experiments carried out in the time domain reveal both the intrinsic low energy dynamics and its connections to higher energy excitations in correlated electron systems. In this work, we propose two microscopic mechanisms for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Rabindranath Bag, Matthew Ennis, Chunxiao Liu, Sachith E. Dissanayake, Zhenzhong Shi | Summary: We investigate the thermodynamic properties of the ytterbium-based triangular lattice compound Ba3Yb(BO3)3. The results demonstrate the absence of any long-range ordering down to 56 mK. Analysis of the magnetization, susceptibility and specific heat measurements […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Laurens T. Ligthart, Mariami Gachechiladze, David Gross, , | Summary: A causal structure is a description of the functional dependencies between random variables. A distribution is compatible with a given causal structure if it can be realized by a process respecting these dependencies. Deciding whether a distribution […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: William C. Schultz, Lars Bildsten, Yan-Fei Jiang, , | Summary: Increasing main sequence stellar luminosity with stellar mass leads to the eventual dominance of radiation pressure in stellar envelope hydrostatic balance. As the luminosity approaches the Eddington limit, additional instabilities (beyond conventional convection) can occur. These instabilities […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Jan van Roestel, Eric C. Bellm, Lars Bildsten | Summary: We present the discovery of a new double detonation progenitor system consisting of a hot subdwarf B (sdB) binary with a white dwarf companion with an P=76.34179(2) min orbital period. Spectroscopic observations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Difan Liu, Matthew Fisher, Aaron Hertzmann, Evangelos Kalogerakis, | Summary: This paper introduces a model for producing stylized line drawings from 3D shapes. The model takes a 3D shape and a viewpoint as input, and outputs a drawing with textured strokes, with variations in stroke thickness, deformation, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Jared A. Goldberg, Yan-Fei Jiang, Lars Bildsten, , | Summary: We explore the three-dimensional properties of convective, luminous ($Lapprox10^{4.5}-10^{5}L_odot$), Hydrogen-rich envelopes of Red Supergiants (RSGs) based on radiation hydrodynamic simulations in spherical geometry using $texttt{Athena++}$. These computations comprise $approx30%$ of the stellar volume, include gas and radiation […]
