We present a setup that provides a partial UV-completion of the ghost inflation model up to a scale which can be almost as high as the Planck mass. This is achieved by coupling the inflaton to the Lorentz-violating sector described by the Einstein-aether t ...
We demonstrate a digital phase conjugation technique for generating a sharp focus point at the end of a multimode optical fiber. A sharp focus is experimentally obtained at the distal end of a 200 mu m core multimode fiber. By recording the digital hologra ...
By combining first-principles and classical force field calculations with aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy experiments, we study the morphology and energetics of point and extended defects in hexagonal bilayer silica an ...
