Cosmological analysis of the DESI DR1 Lyα 1D power spectrum

We present the cosmological analysis of the one-dimensional Lyman-α flux power spectrum from the first data release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We capture the dependence of the signal on cosmology and intergalactic medium physics using an emulator trained on a cosmological suite of hydrodynamical simulations, and we correct its predictions for the impact of astrophysical contaminants and systematics, many of these not considered in previous analyses. We employ this framework to constrain the amplitude and logarithmic slope of the linear matter power spectrum at k ★ = 0.009 km -1 s and redshift z = 3, obtaining Δ 2 ★ = 0.379 ± 0.032 and n ★ = -2.309 ± 0.019 https://github.com/igmhub/cobaya_lya_p1d. The robustness of these constraints is validated through the analysis of mocks and a large number of alternative data analysis variations, with cosmological parameters kept blinded throughout the validation process. We then combine our results with constraints from DESI BAO and temperature, polarization, and lensing measurements from Planck, ACT, and SPT-3G to set constraints on ΛCDM extensions. While our measurements do not significantly tighten the limits on the sum of neutrino masses from the combination of these probes, they sharpen the constraints on the effective number of relativistic species, N eff = 3.02 ± 0.10, the running of the spectral index, α s = 0.0014 ± 0.0041, and the running of the running, β s = -0.0006 ± 0.0048, by a factor of 1.18, 1.27, and 1.90, respectively. We conclude by outlining the improvements needed to fully reach the level of confidence implied by these uncertainties.

Characteristics of 1D ordered arrays of optical centers in solid-state photonics

Abstract Collective interaction of emitter arrays has lately attracted significant attention due to its role in controlling directionality of radiation, spontaneous emission and coherence. We focus on light interactions with engineered arrays of solid-state emitters in photonic resonators. We theoretically study light interaction with an array of emitters or optical centers embedded inside a microring resonator and discuss its application in the context of solid-state photonic systems. We discuss how such arrays can be experimentally realized and how the inhomogeneous broadening of mesoscopic atomic arrays can be leveraged to study broadband collective excitations in the array.

Experimental Realization of the 1D Random Field Ising Model

Here we have measured magnetic-field-induced avalanches in a square artificial spin ice array of interacting nanomagnets. Starting from the ground state ordered configuration, we imaged the individual nanomagnet moments after each successive application of an incrementally increasing field. The statistics of the evolution of the moment configuration show good agreement with the canonical one-dimensional random field Ising model. We extract information about the microscopic structure of the arrays from our macroscopic measurements of their collective behavior, demonstrating a process that could be applied to other systems exhibiting avalanches.

Quasi-1D Coulomb Drag in the Nonlinear Regime

One-dimensional Coulomb drag has been an essential tool to probe the physics of interacting Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids. To date, most experimental work has focused on the linear regime while the predictions for Luttinger liquids beyond the linear response theory remain largely untested. In this Letter, we report measurements of reciprocal momentum transfer induced Coulomb drag between vertically coupled quasi-one-dimensional quantum wires in the nonlinear regime. Measurements were performed at ultralow temperatures between wires only 15 nm apart. Our results reveal a nonlinear dependence of the drag voltage as a function of the drive current superimposed with an oscillatory contribution, in agreement with theoretical predictions for Coulomb drag between Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids. Additionally, the observed current-voltage characteristics exhibit a nonmonotonic temperature dependence, further corroborating the presence of non-Fermi-liquid behavior in our system. In conclusion, these findings are observed both in the single and in the multiple subband regimes and in the presence of disorder, extending the onset of this behavior beyond the clean single channel Tomonaga-Luttinger regime where the predictions were originally formulated.

Direct recovery of interfacial topography from coherent X-ray reflectivity: model calculations for a 1D interface

The use of coherent X-ray reflectivity to recover interfacial topography is described using model calculations for a one-dimensional interface. The results reveal that the illuminated topography can be recovered directly from the measured reflected intensities. This is achieved through an analysis of the Patterson function, the Fourier transform of the scattering intensity (as a function of lateral momentum transfer, Q // , at fixed vertical momentum transfer, Q z ). Specifically, a second-order Patterson function is defined that reveals the discrete set of separations and contrast factors (i.e., the product of changes in the effective scattering factor) associated with discontinuities in the effective interfacial topography. Finally, it is shown that the topography is significantly over-determined by the measurements, and an algorithm is described that recovers the actual topography through a deterministic sorting of this information.

A chiral switchable photovoltaic ferroelectric 1D perovskite

Spin and valley degrees of freedom in materials without inversion symmetry promise previously unknown device functionalities, such as spin-valleytronics. Control of material symmetry with electric fields (ferroelectricity), while breaking additional symmetries, including mirror symmetry, could yield phenomena where chirality, spin, valley, and crystal potential are strongly coupled. Here we report the synthesis of a halide perovskite semiconductor that is simultaneously photoferroelectricity switchable and chiral. Spectroscopic and structural analysis, and first-principles calculations, determine the material to be a previously unknown low-dimensional hybrid perovskite (R)-(-)-1-cyclohexylethylammonium/(S)-(+)-1 cyclohexylethylammonium) PbI 3 . Optical and electrical measurements characterize its semiconducting, ferroelectric, switchable pyroelectricity and switchable photoferroelectric properties. Temperature dependent structural, dielectric and transport measurements reveal a ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition. Circular dichroism spectroscopy confirms its chirality. The development of a material with such a combination of these properties will facilitate the exploration of phenomena such as electric field and chiral enantiomer–dependent Rashba-Dresselhaus splitting and circular photogalvanic effects

High-entropy 1D halide perovskite piezoelectrics found by megalibrary synthesis and rapid nonlinear optical screening

Piezoelectric molecular crystals offer excellent compositional and structural tunability and sustainable processability. However, their discovery is slow, primarily due to the serial synthesis and screening processes used. Here, we report an approach that combines massively parallel megalibrary synthesis with scanning second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy for rapid screening of piezoelectric molecular crystals. Megalibraries consisting of more than 1,000,000 compositionally distinct but positionally encoded TMCM x TMA (1–x) Cd y Pb (1–y) ClzBr (3–z) (TMCM: trimethylchloromethylammonium, TMA: tetramethylammonium; 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1, 0 ≤ z ≤ 3) nanocrystals were synthesized. The megalibraries were rapidly screened by SHG microscopy to identify notable noncentrosymmetric structures, which were then tested for piezoelectricity, facilitating discovery of a high-entropy noncentrosymmetric material with a large d 33 (TMCM 0.75 TMA 0.25 Cd 0.75 Pb 0.25 Cl 1.5 Br 1.5 , 42.8 picocoulombs per newton). Furthermore, this approach enabled systematic investigation of the Curie temperature (T C )–composition relationship in the TMCMCdCl z Br (3–z) system, facilitating reverse design of materials with targeted T C . Our work establishes a powerful approach to accelerate the discovery and design of unusual piezoelectrics for next-generation electronics and optics.

Multi-Energy Differential Evolution Reconstruction (MEnDER 1D) for Proton Deflectometry

This code is designed to reconstruct magnetic field deflections, and thus the path-integrated magnetic field, from sets of proton images at two distinct proton probe energies. A differential evolution (DE) algorithm is used to iteratively update a population of solution candidates of the magnetic deflections of the protons for reconstructing the input images, selecting improved candidates as they are discovered. This algorithm was written using MATLAB (R2019a) and makes use of the Image Processing and Parallel Processing Toolboxes.

Study of recirculating liquid fuel in a 1D critical stationary system

Several studies have been conducted to investigate the physics of liquid fuel reactors, showing also applications with molten salts. A liquid nuclear fuel implies changes in the neutron balance equation to take into account the precursors' displacement and the emission of delayed neutrons in a different position than at the original fission. This requires to upgrade the computer codes normally used to calculate nuclear reactors using only solid fuel. In this work, we revisit a simple problem with liquid fuel, which is proposed for the verification of the numerical solutions obtained by advanced computer codes. This problem studies criticality with constant coefficients, thus neglecting thermal feedback. We elaborate on the analytical solution of the problem, deriving also a generalized eigenvalue problem by finite-volume integration over the cells of a discretized mesh to study the evolution of the dominance ratio with fuel velocity. Finally, we investigate the influence of the fuel velocity on the reactivity of the system. (authors)

Photoelectrochemically Self Improving Si/GaN Photocathode: Figure 1d Raw Data

Fig1d results were obtained using a 3-electrode configuration with IrOx as the counter electrode and saturated calomel electrode as the reference electrode. Two Si/GaN photocathodes were compared. Sample #1 (named as S#1) was the as-received sample, and sample #2 (named as S#2) was CA tested for 4 hours under same testing conditions described in Fig.1a. The PEC performance (J-V curve) was recorded for both samples. Then a photodeposition of Pt was performed on both samples, each loading time was set to be 5 minutes, then the J-V curve was recorded to track the changes of the performance. The Pt photodeposition was stopped until the J-V curve won't shift (the maximum onset potential was achieved). The results show that, S#1 needs at least 20 minutes of Pt photodeposition to achieve its best PEC performance while S#2, which is after CA testing, only needs 5 minutes of Pt photodeposition to achieve its best PEC performance.

Selecting 1D projections for 2D tomography reconstruction

Previous works on reconstructing the 4D phase space using tomography require optimal selection of projection views to achieve accurate reconstruction. In 2D reconstruction, the process is straightforward, as an object can be evenly sampled by dividing the angles evenly. However, extending this concept from 2D to 4D is not intuitive. This work demonstrates that quaternions can be used to more effectively describe views in 4D and introduces the Fibonacci Flower algorithm and repulsive force algorithm to evenly space views in 4D space in order to achieve higher reconstruction accuracy.
