Crystallization Kinetics in an Immiscible Polyolefin Blend

December 12, 2022
Author(s)
Derek Huang, Anthony Kotula, Chad R. Snyder, Kalman Migler
Motivated by the problem of brittle mechanical behavior in recycled blends of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and isotactic polypropylene (iPP), we employ optical microscopy, rheo-Raman, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to measure the

New Ritz Wavelengths and Transition Probabilities for Parity-Forbidden, Singly Ionised Nickel [Ni ii] Lines of Astrophysical Interest Christian P.

December 12, 2022
Author(s)
Christian P. Clear, Peter Uylings, Ton Raassen, Gillian Nave, Juliet C. Pickering
We report accurate Ritz wavelengths for parity-forbidden [Ni ii] transitions, derived from energy levels determined using high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy. Transitions between the 17 lowest Ni ii energy levels of even parity produced Ritz

Efficient chip-based optical parametric oscillators from 590 nm to 1150 nm

December 2, 2022
Author(s)
Jordan Stone, Xiyuan Lu, Gregory Moille, Kartik Srinivasan
Optical parametric oscillators are a ubiquitous technology used to generate coherent light at frequencies not accessible by conventional laser gain. However, chip-based parametric oscillators operating in the visible spectrum have suffered from pump-to

The Mathematics of Quantum Coin-Flipping

December 1, 2022
Author(s)
Carl A. Miller
An expository article (aimed at the general mathematics community) about quantum cryptography and the philosophy of applied mathematics. The article focuses on quantum coin-flipping, a research problem that has a particularly long history.

Elemental excitations in MoI3 one-dimensional van der Waals nanowires

November 28, 2022
Author(s)
Fariborz Kargar, Zahra Barani, Nicholas Sesing, Thuc Mai, Topojit Debnath, Huairuo Zhang, Yuhang Liu, Yanbing Zhu, Subhajit Ghosh, Adam Biacchi, Felipe H. da Jornada, Ludwig Bartels, Tehseen Adel, Angela R. Hight Walker, Albert Davydov, Tina Salguero, Roger Lake, Alexander Balandin
We report the polarization-dependent Raman spectrum of exfoliated MoI3, a van der Waals material with a "true one-dimensional" crystal structure that can be exfoliated to individual atomic chains. The temperature evolution of several Raman features reveals

Improved interspecies optical clock comparisons through differential spectroscopy

November 28, 2022
Author(s)
May E. Kim, Will McGrew, Nicholas Nardelli, Ethan Clements, Youssef Hassan, Xiaogang Zhang, Jose Valencia, Holly Leopardi, David Hume, Tara Fortier, Andrew Ludlow, David Leibrandt
Comparisons of high-accuracy optical atomic clocks \citeLudlow2015} are essential for precision tests of fundamental physics \citeSafronova2018}, relativistic geodesy \citeMcGrew2018, Grotti2018, Delva2019}, and the anticipated redefinition of the SI

Optical Atomic Clock aboard an Earth-orbiting Space Station (OACESS): Enhancing searches for physics beyond the standard model in space

November 18, 2022
Author(s)
Vladimir Schkolnik, Dmitry Budker, Oliver Farttman, Victor Flambaum, Leo Hollberg, Tigran Kalaydzhyan, Shimon Kolkowitz, Markus Krutzik, Andrew Ludlow, Nathan R. Newbury, Christopher Pyrlik, Laura Sinclair, Yevgeny Stadnik, Ingmari Tietje, Jun Ye, Jason Williams
We present a concept for a high-precision optical atomic clock (OAC) operating on an Earth-orbiting space station. This pathfinder science mission will compare the space-based OAC with one or more ultra-stable terrestrial OACs to search for space-time

Experimental realization of an extended Fermi-Hubbard model using a 2D lattice of dopant-based quantum dots

November 11, 2022
Author(s)
Richard M. Silver, Jonathan Wyrick, Xiqiao Wang, Ranjit Kashid, Garnett W. Bryant, Albert Rigosi, Pradeep Namboodiri, Ehsan Khatami
The Hubbard model is one of the primary models for understanding the essential many-body physics in condensed matter systems such as Mott insulators and cuprate high-Tc superconductors. Due to the long-range Coulomb interactions, accessible low
