On-demand thermal power amplification enabled by active heat -switching
Qian Ye, Aleida Machorro-Ortiz, William Schmid +3
Thermal management underpins essentially every energy technology, from solar harvesters and waste-heat recovery to industrial process heating and electronic cooling. Yet, thermal s…
Graduate Training in Quantum Information Science and Engineering: Lessons, Challenges, and a Roadmap from the NSF Research Traineeship Programs
Yohannes Abate, Victor Acosta, Alessandro Alabastri +31
Since 2019, eighteen NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) awards in quantum information science and engineering (QISE) and adjacent fields have been funded, constituting the largest NSF-…
Layered Bimetal Nanoporous Platforms for SERS Sensing
Yanqiu Zou, Anastasiia Sapunova, Tommaso Giovannini +15
Nanoporous metals are extensively investigated as platforms for applications in plasmonics. They present high surface areas and strong local electric fields that can be tuned at di…
Static magnetic control of light emission in plasmonic nanojunctions
Shusen Liao, Jaime Abad-Arredondo, Ken W. Ssennyimba +5
Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) in metal nanoparticles have been studied extensively through scattering and absorption. Static magnetic field-induced changes in plasmo…
Realization of a Chiral Photonic-Crystal Cavity with Broken Time-Reversal Symmetry
Kiran M. Kulkarni, Hongjing Xu, Fuyang Tay +7
Light-matter interactions in chiral cavities offer a compelling route to manipulate material properties by breaking fundamental symmetries such as time-reversal symmetry. However,…
Terahertz chiral photonic-crystal cavities for Dirac gap engineering in graphene
Fuyang Tay, Stephen Sanders, Andrey Baydin +6
Strong coupling between matter and vacuum electromagnetic fields in a cavity can induce novel quantum phases in thermal equilibrium via symmetry breaking. Particularly intriguing i…
