Spin-lattice entanglement in CoPS3

June 10, 2025
Author(s)
Angela Hight Walker, Kevin Garrity, Rebecca Dally
Complex chalcogenides in the MPS3 family of materials (M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) display remarkably different phase progressions depending upon the metal center orbital filling, character of the P–P linkage, and size of the van der Waals gap. There is also a

Picosecond Josephson samplers: Modeling and measurements

June 4, 2025
Author(s)
Logan Howe, Bart van Zeghbroeck, David Olaya, John Biesecker, Charles Burroughs, Peter Hopkins, Samuel Benz
Measurement of signals generated by superconducting Josephson junction (JJ) circuits require ultra-fast components located in close proximity to the generating circuitry. We report a detailed study of optimal design criteria for a JJ-based sampler that

Strain-programmable van der Waals magnetic tunnel junctions

June 3, 2025
Author(s)
John Cenker, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Harvey Yang, Daniel Chica, Catherine Zhu, Jiaqi Cai, Geoffrey Diederich, Zhaoyu Liu (liuzhaoyu), Xiaoyang Zhu, Xavier Roy, Ting Cao, Matthew Daniels, Jiun-Haw Chu, Di Xiao, Xiaodong Xu
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) are foundational spintronics devices with applications ranging from stable magnetic memory to emerging stochastic computing schemes. Integrating van der Waals magnets into these devices could enable the realization of

Imaging of induced surface charge distribution effects in glass vapor cells used for Rydberg atom-based sensors

June 1, 2025
Author(s)
Charles Patrick, Noah Schlossberger, Daniel Hammerland, Nikunjkumar Prajapati, Tate McDonald, Samuel Berweger, Rajavardhan Talashila, Alexandra Artusio-Glimpse, Christopher Holloway
We demonstrate the imaging of localized surface electric (E) field effects on the atomic spectrum in a vapor cell used in Rydberg atom-based sensors. These surface E-fields can result from an induced electric charge distribution on the surface. Induced

280-GHz aluminum MKID arrays for the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope

May 29, 2025
Author(s)
Anna Vaskuri, Jordan Wheeler, Jason Austermann, Michael Vissers, James Beall, James R. Burgoyne, Victoria Butler, Scott Chapman, Steve K. Choi, Abigail Crites, Cody J. Duell, Rodrigo Freundt, Anthony Huber, Zachary Huber, Johannes Hubmayr, Jozsef Imrek, Ben Keller, Lawrence Lin, Alicia Middleton, Michael D. Niemack, Thomas Nikola, Douglas Scott, Adrian Sinclair, Ema Smith, Gordon Stacey, Joel Ullom, Jeffrey Van Lanen, Eve Vavagiakis, Samantha Walker, Bugao Zou
First light observations of the 280 GHz instrument module of the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) in the CCAT Collaboration are expected in 2026. The focal plane of this module will consist of three superconducting microwave kinetic inductance

Elongated particles in flow: commentary on small-angle scattering investigations

May 23, 2025
Author(s)
Guan-Rong Huang, Lionel Porcar, Ryan Murphy, Yuya Shinohara, Yangyang Wang, Jan-Michael Carrillo, Bobby G. Sumpter, Chi-Huan Tung, Lijie Ding, Changwoo Do, Wei-Ren Chen
This work thoroughly examines several analytical tools, each possessing a different level of mathematical intricacy, for the purpose of characterizing the orientation distribution function of elongated objects under flow. Our investigation places an

Universal electronic synthesis by microresonator-soliton photomixing

May 13, 2025
Author(s)
Jizhao Zang, Travis Briles, Jesse Morgan, Andreas Beling, Scott Papp
Access to electrical signals across the millimeter-wave (mmW) and terahertz (THz) bands offers breakthroughs for high-performance applications. Despite generations of revolutionary development, integrated electronics are challenging to scale at 100-1000

Broadband Optoelectronic Mixer for Terahertz Frequency-Comb Measurements

May 5, 2025
Author(s)
Jizhao Zang, Jesse Morgan, Andreas Beling, Scott Papp
We demonstrate ultra-broadband optoelectronic mixing of frequency combs that provides phase-coherent detection of a repetition frequency up to 500 GHz, using a high-speed modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodiode. Nonlinear photo-electron effects in

CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2022

April 30, 2025
Author(s)
Peter Mohr, David Newell, Barry N. Taylor, Eite Tiesinga
We report the 2022 self-consistent values of constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data of the International Science Council (CODATA). The recommended values can also be found at physics.nist.gov

Microstructure effects on the fracture surface resistance of base metal in line pipe steels in high pressure H2 gas

April 29, 2025
Author(s)
Andrew LeBoeuf, Santigopal Samanta, Joseph Ronevich, Christopher San Marchi, Zachary Buck, Matthew Connolly, Lawrence Cho, Kip Findley
Cost-effective transportation of gaseous hydrogen requires the use of long-distance low-carbon steel pipeline networks. Employing higher strength (X65-X70) grades can allow for economic viability by enabling operation at higher pressures. While higher

Dynamically generated concatenated codes and their phase diagrams

April 24, 2025
Author(s)
Grace Sommers, David Huse, Michael Gullans
We formulate code concatenation as the action of a unitary quantum circuit on an expanding tree geometry and find that for certain classes of gates, applied identically at each node, a binary tree circuit encodes a single logical qubit with code distance

Ellipsometry in the EUV Regime

April 24, 2025
Author(s)
Aaron Chew, Bryan Barnes, Eric Shirley, Thomas Germer
We propose and analyze the sensitivity of an ellipsometer that uses extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light from the synchrotron SURF-III. The ellipsometer employs a four-mirror geometry to control polarization, as documented in the associated patent. With a

David La Mantia, Mingxin Lei, Nikunjkumar Prajapati, Noah Schlossberger, Matthew Simons, Christopher Holloway, Julia Scherschligt, Stephen Eckel, Eric Norrgard
We demonstrate a blackbody radiation thermometer based on optically excited rubidium atoms in a vapor cell. Operating as a calibrated contact thermometer from 308K to 343 K, we realize temperature uncertainty as low as 0.04 %, and statistical temperature

Charge-exchange processes in EBIT: implications for spectral analysis of few-electron Fe ions

April 16, 2025
Author(s)
Yang Yang, FNU Dipti, Amy Gall, Nancy Brickhouse, Hunter Staiger, Galen O'Neil, Paul Szypryt, Adam Foster, David Schultz, Aung Naing, Joseph Tan, Daniel Swetz, Michael Fogle, Randall Smith, Yuri Ralchenko, Endre Takacs
Charge-exchange recombination with neutral atoms significantly influences the ionization balance in electron beam ion traps (EBIT) because its cross section is relatively large compared to cross sections of electron collision induced processes. Modeling
