Redefining the dielectric response of nanoconfined liquids: insights from water
Jon Zubeltzu, Fernando Bresme, Matthew Dawber +2
Recent experiments show that the relative dielectric constant of water confined to a film of nanometric thickness reaches a strikingly low value of 2.1, barely above the bulk's…
Probing Water-Electrified Electrode interfaces: Insights from Au and Pd
Graciele M. Arvelos, Marivi Fernández-Serra, Alexandre R. Rocha +1
The water/electrode interface under an applied bias potential is a challenging out-of-equilibrium phenomenon, which is difficult to accurately model at the atomic scale. In this st…
Anti-Coulomb ion-ion interactions: a theoretical and computational study
Alec Wills, Anthony Mannino, Isidro Losada +3
The free energy of ion solvation can be decomposed into enthalpic and entropic contributions. This helps to understand the connection between the dielectric properties and the unde…
Fully ab-initio all-electron calculation of dark matter--electron scattering in crystals with evaluation of systematic uncertainties
Cyrus E. Dreyer, Rouven Essig, Marivi Fernandez-Serra +2
We calculate target-material responses for dark matter--electron scattering at the \textit{ab-initio} all-electron level using atom-centered gaussian basis sets. The all-electron e…
Searching for millicharged particles with 1 kg of Skipper-CCDs using the NuMI beam at Fermilab
Santiago Perez, Dario Rodrigues, Juan Estrada +57
Oscura is a planned light-dark matter search experiment using Skipper-CCDs with a total active mass of 10 kg. As part of the detector development, the collaboration plans to build…
Dark Matter Direct Detection with Quantum Dots
Carlos Blanco, Rouven Essig, Marivi Fernandez-Serra +2
We propose using Quantum Dots as novel targets to probe sub-GeV dark matter-electron interactions. Quantum dots are nanocrystals of semiconducting material, which are commercially…
