SiC Detectors for Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Sinéad M. Griffin, Yonit Hochberg, Katherine Inzani +3
We propose the use of silicon carbide (SiC) for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter. SiC has properties similar to both silicon and diamond, but has two key advantages: (i) it…

Prediction of Tunable Spin-Orbit Gapped Materials for Dark Matter Detection
Katherine Inzani, Alireza Faghaninia, Sinéad M. Griffin
New ideas for low-mass dark matter direct detection suggest that narrow band gap materials, such as Dirac semiconductors, are sensitive to the absorption of meV dark matter or the…

Charged domain walls in improper ferroelectric hexagonal manganites and gallates
Didrik R. Småbråten, Quintin N. Meier, Sandra H. Skjærvø +3
Ferroelectric domain walls are attracting broad attention as atomic-scale switches, diodes and mobile wires for next-generation nanoelectronics. Charged domain walls in improper fe…
