Exciton Relaxation Cascade in Two-dimensional Transition-metal dichalcogenides

Samuel Brem, Gunnar Berghaeuser, Malte Selig +1

Monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are characterized by an extraordinarily strong Coulomb interaction giving rise to tightly bound excitons with binding energies…

Interpretation of runaway electron synchrotron and bremsstrahlung images

M. Hoppe, O. Embréus, C. Paz-Soldan +2

The crescent spot shape observed in DIII-D runaway electron synchrotron radiation images is shown to result from the high degree of anisotropy in the emitted radiation, the finite…

Identifying the subtle signatures of feedback from distant AGN using ALMA observations and the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulations

J. Scholtz, D. M. Alexander, C. M. Harrison +10

We present sensitive 870m continuum measurements from our ALMA programmes of 114 X-ray selected AGN in the CDF-S and COSMOS fields. We use these observations in combination with…
