Magnetotransport in Topological Materials and Nonlinear Hall Effect via First-Principles Electronic Interactions and Band Topology

Dhruv C. Desai, Lauren A. Tan, Jin-Jian Zhou +3

Topological effects arising from the Berry curvature lead to intriguing transport signatures in quantum materials. Two such phenomena are the chiral anomaly and nonlinear Hall effe…

Data-driven compression of electron-phonon interactions

Yao Luo, Dhruv Desai, Benjamin K. Chang +2

First-principles calculations of electron interactions in materials have seen rapid progress in recent years, with electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions being a prime example. Howeve…

Dominant two-dimensional electron-phonon interactions in the bulk Dirac semimetal Na3Bi

Dhruv C. Desai, Jinsoo Park, Jin-Jian Zhou +1

Bulk Dirac semimetals (DSMs) exhibit unconventional transport properties and phase transitions due to their peculiar low-energy band structure. Yet the electronic interactions gove…

Three-Dimensional General-Relativistic Simulations of Neutrino-Driven Winds from Rotating Proto-Neutron Stars

Dhruv K. Desai, Daniel M. Siegel, Brian D. Metzger

We explore the effects of rapid rotation on the properties of neutrino-heated winds from proto-neutron stars (PNS) formed in core-collapse supernovae or neutron-star mergers by mea…

Imprints of r-process heating on fall-back accretion: distinguishing black hole-neutron star from double neutron star mergers

Dhruv Desai, Brian D. Metzger, Francois Foucart

Mergers of compact binaries containing two neutron stars (NS-NS), or a neutron star and a stellar-mass black hole (NS-BH), are likely progenitors of short-duration gamma ray bursts…

Recovery schemes for primitive variables in general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics

Daniel M. Siegel, Philipp Mösta, Dhruv Desai +1

General-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations are an important tool to study a variety of astrophysical systems such as neutron star mergers, core-collapse supernova…

Dynamics, nucleosynthesis, and kilonova signature of black hole - neutron star merger ejecta

Rodrigo Fernández, Francois Foucart, Daniel Kasen +3

We investigate the ejecta from black hole - neutron star mergers by modeling the formation and interaction of mass ejected in a tidal tail and a disk wind. The outflows are neutron…

Dynamical ejecta from precessing neutron star-black hole mergers with a hot, nuclear-theory based equation of state

Francois Foucart, Dhruv Desai, Wyatt Brege +6

Neutron star-black hole binaries are among the strongest sources of gravitational waves detectable by current observatories. They can also power bright electromagnetic signals (gam…
