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 ...

Berry curvature-induced local spin polarisation in gated graphene/WTe2 heterostructures

Klaus Kern, Marko Burghard, Lukas Powalla

Experimental control of local spin-charge interconversion is of primary interest for spintronics. Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures combining graphene with a strongly spin-orbit coupled two-dimensional (2D) material enable such functionality by design. ...

Protected generation of dissipative Kerr solitons in supermodes of coupled optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Mikhail Churaev, Xinru Ji, Aleksandr Tusnin, Kenichi Komagata, Junqiu Liu, Alexey Tikan

A photonic dimer composed of two evanescently coupled high-Q microresonators is a fundamental element of multimode soliton lattices. It has demonstrated a variety of emergent nonlinear phenomena, including supermode soliton generation and soliton hopping. ...

A simplified modeling method for multi-particle damper: Validation and application in energy dissipation analysis

Qianqing Wang

Particle dampers have received considerable attention in recent years as a novel damping technique. However, due to its high degree of nonlinearity, no mature damping model has been constructed. This article proposes an equivalent raft model that takes int ...

Hierarchical tensile structures with ultralow mechanical dissipation

Tobias Kippenberg, Alberto Beccari, Amirali Arabmoheghi, Nils Johan Engelsen, Sergey Fedorov

Structural hierarchy is found in myriad biological systems and has improved man-made structures ranging from the Eiffel tower to optical cavities. In mechanical resonators whose rigidity is provided by static tension, structural hierarchy can reduce the di ...

Experimental Study to Validate an Improved Approach to Design Acceleration-Sensitive Nonstructural Components

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

Nonstructural components in buildings can be subjected to very large acceleration and deformation demands during earthquakes. This is particularly true for flexible components that are tuned or nearly tuned to one of the modal frequencies of the supporting ...

Progress and challenges in the theory and modeling of complex concentrared alloys

William Curtin, Satish I Rao

The high atomic-scale complexity inherent in the aptly named complex concentrated alloys, or high entropy alloys, presents unique challenges in understanding (1) the structure and motion of defects that control mechanical properties and (2) the thermodynam ...
