In-situ atomic level observation of the strain response of graphene lattice

Strain is inevitable in two-dimensional (2D) materials, regardless of whether the film is suspended or supported. However, the direct measurement of strain response at the atomic scale is challenging due to the difficulties of maintaining both flexibility ...

Strain Gradients and Magnetoresistance in Microstructured 3D Topological Semi-metals

Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez

Three-dimensional topological semimetals have emerged as strong candidates to probe new fundamental physical phenomena that could be exploited to develop next generation electronics. However, many aspects of their electronic properties remain unclear. Thi ...

Nonlocally-resonant metamaterials

Aleksi Antoine Bossart

In this thesis, we unveil a third design path to manipulate elastic waves within architected media, distinct from the traditional phononic crystal and locally-resonant metamaterial concepts. The core innovation lies in the concept of nonlocal resonances, d ...

Exact quantum conformal symmetry, its spontaneous breakdown, and gravitational Weyl anomaly

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...

Reconfigurable nonreciprocal excitation of propagating exchange spin waves in perpendicularly magnetized yttrium iron garnet thin films

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Peng Chen, Jilei Chen, Jinlong Wang, Tao Liu, Rundong Yuan, Yu Zhang

We report the nonreciprocal excitation of propagating forward volume exchange spin waves in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film with perpendicular anisotropy by bringing the in-plane magnetization of Co20Fe60B20 (CoFeB) nanowires to resonance. All-electric ...

How Acid Washing Nickel Foam Substrates Improves the Efficiency of the Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Jan Van Herle, Peter Hugh Middleton, Suhas Nuggehalli Sampathkumar, Thomas Benjamin Ferriday

Nickel foam substrates are frequently utilised as porous 3D substrates for renewable energy applications. The preparation of these substrates usually includes an acid-washing step, but the degree to which this step affects the final electrochemical perform ...

Anomaly-free scale symmetry and gravity

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

In this Letter, we address the question of whether the conformal invariance can be considered as a global symmetry of a theory of fundamental interactions. To describe Nature, this theory must contain a mechanism of spontaneous breaking of the scale symmet ...

Hierarchy of quasisymmetries and degeneracies in the CoSi family of chiral crystal materials

Yi-Chiang Sun, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Chunyu Guo

In materials, certain approximated symmetry operations can exist in a lower-order approximation of the effective model but are good enough to influence the physical responses of the system, and these approximated symmetries were recently dubbed "quasisymme ...

Dynamical nuclear polarization for dissipation-induced entanglement in NV centers

Géraldine Haack, Shishir Khandelwal, Mayeul Sylvain Chipaux, Shashwat Kumar

We propose a practical implementation of a two-qubit entanglement engine which denotes a scheme to generate quantum correlations through purely dissipative processes. On a diamond platform, the electron spin transitions of two nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...

Dissipative Solitons and Switching Waves in Dispersion-Modulated Kerr Cavities

Rui Ning Wang, Tobias Kippenberg, Miles Henry Anderson, Alexey Tikan, Aleksandr Tusnin, Alisa Davydova

We theoretically and experimentally investigate the formation of dissipative coherent structures in Kerr nonlinear optical microresonators, whose spectrum encompasses an integrated dispersion that exceeds the cavity free-spectral range. We are able to acce ...

Phonon Self-Energy Corrections: To Screen, or Not to Screen

Nicola Marzari, Samuel Poncé

First-principles calculations of phonons are often based on the adiabatic approximation and on Brillouinzone samplings that might not always be sufficient to capture the subtleties of Kohn anomalies. These shortcomings can be addressed through corrections ...
