Controlling surface effects in extremely high aspect ratio gold plasmonic electrodes

Olivier Martin, Christian Santschi, Marco Riccardi

Nanofabrication is key to many technological advances, especially the challenge of merging nanophotonics with electronics. Here, we investigate the fabrication process of plasmonic interdigitated gold electrodes having a very high aspect ratio (i.e. long a ...

Site-selective overgrowth of Ag nanocrystals by Polyvinylpyrrolidone-mediated atom deposition by Ostwald ripening

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Alejandro Lapresta Fernandez

The growth modulation of metal nanocrystals (NCs) by Ostwald ripening (OR) involves control of the relocation of matter by diffusional mass transfer from the dissolution of small nanocrystals (SNCs) towards large nanocrystals whose surface energy is lower. ...

Temperature Dependent Properties of the Aqueous Electron

Alfredo Pasquarello, Jinggang Lan

The temperature-dependent properties of the aqueous electron have been extensively studied using mixed quantum-classical simulations in a wide range of thermodynamic conditions based on one-electron pseudopotentials. While the cavity model appears to expla ...

Thermalization and hydrodynamics of two-dimensional quantum field theories

Matthew Thomas Walters

We consider 2d QFTs as relevant deformations of CFTs in the thermodynamic limit. Using causality and KPZ universality, we place a lower bound on the timescale characterizing the onset of hydrodynamics. The bound is determined parametrically in terms of the ...

Molten globule-like transition state of protein barnase measured with calorimetric force spectroscopy

Sebastian James Davis

Understanding how proteins fold into their native structure is a fundamental problem in biophysics, crucial for protein design. It has been hypothesized that the formation of a molten globule intermediate precedes folding to the native conformation of glob ...

Proximal Point Imitation Learning

Volkan Cevher, Luca Viano, Igor Krawczuk, Angeliki Kamoutsi

This work develops new algorithms with rigorous efficiency guarantees for infinite horizon imitation learning (IL) with linear function approximation without restrictive coherence assumptions. We begin with the minimax formulation of the problem and then o ...

Stochastic distributed learning with gradient quantization and double-variance reduction

Sebastian Urban Stich, Konstantin Mishchenko

We consider distributed optimization over several devices, each sending incremental model updates to a central server. This setting is considered, for instance, in federated learning. Various schemes have been designed to compress the model updates in orde ...

On The Convergence Of Stochastic Primal-Dual Hybrid Gradient

Volkan Cevher, Ahmet Alacaoglu

In this paper, we analyze the recently proposed stochastic primal-dual hybrid gradient (SPDHG) algorithm and provide new theoretical results. In particular, we prove almost sure convergence of the iterates to a solution with convexity and linear convergenc ...

Safe Motion Planning against Multimodal Distributions Based on a Scenario Approach

Maryam Kamgarpour

We present the design of a motion planning algorithm that ensures safety for an autonomous vehicle. In particular, we consider a multimodal distribution over uncertainties; for example, the uncertain predictions of future trajectories of surrounding vehicl ...
