Ab initio prediction of strain-tunable spin defects in quasi-1D TiS3 and NbS3 nanowires
Jordan Chapman, Arindom Nag, Thang Pham +1
Defects in atomically thin van der Waals materials have recently been investigated as sources of spin-photon entanglement with sensitivity to strain tuning. Unlike many two-dimensi…
Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter 2025 Proceedings
Shigenobu Hirose, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +70
The third ``Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter'' (MDDM'25) meeting was held May 20-23, 2025 in Yokohama, Japan, hosted by the Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences,…
Nuclear recoil detection with color centers in bulk lithium fluoride
Gabriela A. Araujo, Laura Baudis, Nathaniel Bowden +19
We present initial results on nuclear recoil detection based on the fluorescence of color centers created by nuclear recoils in lithium fluoride. We use gamma rays, fast and therma…
First-principles Spin and Optical Properties of Vacancy Clusters in Lithium Fluoride
Mariano Guerrero Perez, Keegan Walkup, Jordan Chapman +5
Vacancy-cluster color centers in lithium fluoride have been studied in detail both theoretically and experimentally for over a century, giving rise to various applications in solid…
