Design of Quantum Dot-Nanowire Single-Photon Sources that are Immune to Thermomechanical Decoherence (2019)
Journal Article
Artioli, A., Kotal, S., Gregersen, N., Verlot, P., Gérard, J.-M., & Claudon, J. (2019). Design of Quantum Dot-Nanowire Single-Photon Sources that are Immune to Thermomechanical Decoherence. Physical Review Letters, 123(24), Article 247403. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.123.247403

Nanowire antennas embedding a single quantum dot (QD) have recently emerged as versatile platforms to realize bright sources of quantum light. In this theoretical work, we show that the thermally driven, low-frequency vibrations of the nanowire have...

Scientific Reports, 9, Article 14378. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-50928-0

Whether the integrity of normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) is preserved in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) is open to debate. To examine whether the tissue integrity of NAWM in NMOSD is compromised compared to that in healthy contr...

The association between subcortical and cortical fMRI and lifetime noise exposure in listeners with normal hearing thresholds (2019)
Journal Article
Dewey, R. S., Francis, S. T., Guest, H., Prendergast, G., Millman, R. E., Plack, C. J., & Hall, D. A. (2020). The association between subcortical and cortical fMRI and lifetime noise exposure in listeners with normal hearing thresholds. NeuroImage, 204, Article 116239. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116239

© 2019 In animal models, exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent damage to hair-cell synapses (cochlear synaptopathy) for high-threshold auditory nerve fibers without affecting sensitivity to quiet sounds. This has been confirmed in several... Read More about The association between subcortical and cortical fMRI and lifetime noise exposure in listeners with normal hearing thresholds.

Quantum corrections to vacuum energy sequestering (with monodromy) (2019)
Journal Article
Kamal El-Menoufi, B., Nagy, S., Niedermann, F., & Padilla, A. (2019). Quantum corrections to vacuum energy sequestering (with monodromy). Classical and Quantum Gravity, 36(21), Article 215014. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6382/ab46f6

Field theory models of axion monodromy have been shown to exhibit vacuum energy sequestering as an emergent phenomenon for cancelling radiative corrections to the cosmological constant. We study one loop corrections to this class of models coming fro... Read More about Quantum corrections to vacuum energy sequestering (with monodromy).

From the outside looking in: what can Milky Way Analogues tell us about the star formation rate of our own galaxy? (2019)
Journal Article
Fraser-Mckelvie, A., Merrifield, M., & Aragón-Salamanca, A. (2019). From the outside looking in: what can Milky Way Analogues tell us about the star formation rate of our own galaxy?. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 489(4), 5030–5036. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz2493

The Milky Way has been described as an anaemic spiral, but is its star formation rate (SFR) unusually low when compared to its peers? To answer this question, we define a sample of Milky Way Analogues (MWAs) based on stringent cuts on the best litera...

High-Frequency Elastic Coupling at the Interface of van der Waals Nanolayers Imaged by Picosecond Ultrasonics (2019)
Journal Article
Greener, J. D., de Lima Savi, E., Akimov, A. V., Raetz, S., Kudrynskyi, Z., Kovalyuk, Z. D., Chigarev, N., Kent, A., Patané, A., & Gusev, V. E. (2019).

Although the topography of van de Waals (vdW) layers and heterostructures can be imaged by scanning probe microscopy, high-frequency interface elastic properties are more difficult to assess. These can influence the stability, reliability and perform... Read More about High-Frequency Elastic Coupling at the Interface of van der Waals Nanolayers Imaged by Picosecond Ultrasonics.

Accelerated relaxation and suppressed dynamic heterogeneity in a kinetically constrained (East) model with swaps (2019)
Journal Article
Gutiérrez, R., Garrahan, J. P., & Jack, R. L. (2019). Accelerated relaxation and suppressed dynamic heterogeneity in a kinetically constrained (East) model with swaps. Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2019(9), Article 094006. https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-5468/ab39d8

We introduce a kinetically constrained spin model with a local softness parameter, such that spin flips can violate the kinetic constraint with an (annealed) site-dependent rate. We show that adding MC swap moves to this model can dramatically accele...

AIRBED: a simplified density functional theory model for physisorption on surfaces (2019)
Journal Article

Dispersion interactions are commonly included in density functional theory (DFT) calculations through the addition of an empirical correction. In this study, a modification is made to the damping function in DFT-D2 calculations, to describe repulsion...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 489(1), 1338–1343. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz2204/5548799

Spectra of galaxies contain a wealth of information about the stellar populations from which they are made. With integral-field unit (IFU) surveys, such data can be used to map out stellar population properties across the face of a galaxy, allowing o...
