Holography and localization of information in quantum gravity

Alexandre Mathieu Frédéric Belin, Kyriakos Papadodimas

Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, we identify a class of CFT operators which represent diff-invariant and approximately local observables in the gravitational dual. Provided that the bulk state breaks all asymptotic symmetries, we show that these operator ...

Infrared-active phonons in one-dimensional materials and their spectroscopic signatures

Nicola Marzari, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier, Norma Rivano

Dimensionality provides a clear fingerprint on the dispersion of infrared-active, polar-optical phonons. For these phonons, the local dipoles parametrized by the Born effective charges drive the LO-TO splitting of bulk materials; this splitting actually br ...

Competition between Carrier Injection and Structural Distortions in Electron-Doped Perovskite Nickelate Thin Films

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet

The discovery of superconductivity in doped infinite-layer nickelate thin films has brought increased attention to the behavior of the doped perovskite phase. Despite this interest, the majority of existing studies pertain to hole-doped perovskite rare-ear ...

Surface Passivation of FAPbI3-Rich Perovskite with Cesium Iodide Outperforms Bulk Incorporation

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Kevin Sivula, Jun Ho Yum, Mounir Driss Mensi, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Lukas Pfeifer, Jing Gao, Brian Irving Carlsen, Essa Awadh R Alharbi, Thomas Paul Baumeler, George Cameron Fish, Georgios Kakavelakis

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have shown an incredible increase in efficiency, reaching as high as 25.7%, which now competes with traditional photovoltaic technologies. Herein, we excluded CsX and RbX (X = I–, Br–, Cl–), the most commonly used cations to ...

Large Anomalous Nernst Angle in Co2MnGa Thin Film

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Simon Granville, Junfeng Hu

The new trends for anomalous Nernst effect (ANE)-based thermoelectric devices require materials with large ANE values to realize the scalable generation of voltage. Recently, very large ANE values have been observed in single crystals of some novel magneti ...

From bulk descriptions to emergent interfaces: Connecting the Ginzburg-Landau and elastic-line models

Elisabeth Agoritsas

Controlling interfaces is highly relevant from a technological point of view. However, their rich and complex behavior makes them very difficult to describe theoretically, and hence to predict. In this work, we establish a procedure to connect two levels o ...
