In this special publication, we report on a modified synthetic process that results in a stable suspension of Au-PEI nanoparticles, Au-PEI@NIST. Synthesized materials were characterized using an orthogonal approach that included dynamic light scattering

Alternatives to aluminum gates for silicon quantum devices: Defects and strain

September 15, 2021
Author(s)
Ryan Stein, Zachary Barcikowski, Sujitra Pookpanratana, Joshua M. Pomeroy, Michael Stewart
Gate-defined quantum dots (QD) benefit from the use of small grain size metals for gates materials because it aids in shrinking the device dimensions. However, it is not clear what differences arise with respect to process-induced defect densities and

High-performance, compact optical standard

September 15, 2021
Author(s)
Zachary Newman, Vincent N. Maurice, Tara Fortier, Connor Fredrick, Scott Diddams, John Kitching, Matthew Hummon
We describe a high-performance, compact optical frequency standard based on a microfabricated Rb vapor cell and a low-noise, external cavity diode laser operating on the Rb two-photon transition at 778 nm. The optical standard achieves an instability of 1

Magnetic Properties and Signatures of Ordering in Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet KCeO 2

September 15, 2021
Author(s)
Mitchell M. Bordelon, Xiaoling Wang, Daniel M. Pajerowski, Arnab Banerjee, Mark Sherwin, Craig Brown, M. Eldeeb, T. Petersen, L. Hozoi, U. Robler, Martin Mourigal
The magnetic ground state and the crystalline electric field level scheme of the triangular lattice antiferromagnet KCeO 2are investigated. Below T N = 300 mK, KCeO 2 develops signatures of magnetic order in specific heat measurements and low energy

Phase Diagram of YbZnGaO 4 in Applied Magnetic Field

September 15, 2021
Author(s)
William Steinhardt, P. A. Maksimov, Sachith Dissanayake, Zhenzhong Shi, Nicholas Butch, David Graf, Andrey Podlesnyak, Yaohua Liu, Yang Zhao, Guangyong Xu, Jeffrey Lynn, Casey Marjerrison, A. L. Chernyshev, Sara Haravifard
Recently, Yb-based triangular lattice antiferromagnets have garnered significant interest as possible quantum spin liquid candidates. One example is YbMgGaO 4, which showed many promising spin liquid features, but also possesses a high degree of disorder

Experimental confirmation of long hyperbolic polariton lifetimes in monoisotopic (10B) hexagonal boron nitride at room temperature

September 14, 2021
Author(s)
Georges Pavlidis, Jeffrey Schwartz, Joseph Matson, Thomas Folland, Song Liu, James Edgar, Joshua Caldwell, Andrea Centrone
Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) enable arbitrarily high confinements, low losses, and directional propagation – providing opportunities from hyperlensing to flat optics, and other advanced nanophotonics applications. In this work, two near-field

Firebrands generated in Shurijo Castle Fire on October 30th, 2019

Author(s)
Samuel Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki
A fire started in Shurijo Seiden, or the main hall of Shurijo Castle, Naha-city, Okinawa, Japan on the morning of October 30th, 2019. The fire resulted in loss of 8 structures and many important Okinawan cultural assets. The original Shurijo Castle was

Hidden Complexity in the Chemistry of Ammonolysis-Derived "gamma-Mo2N": An Overlooked Oxynitride Hydride
