The role of microstructural development in the hydrothermal corrosion of cast and HIPed Stellite 6 analogues in simulated PWR conditions. Corrosion Science, 159, Article 108141. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.corsci.2019.108141

The corrosion behaviour of cast and HIPed Stellite 6 analogue materials in PWR-simulating conditions was investigated. The cast alloy exhibited localised corrosion at the boundary between the matrix and the M7C3 carbides, with this being attributed t...

Theory of double Cooper-pair tunneling and light emission mediated by a resonator (2019)
Journal Article
Morley, W. T., Di Marco, A., Mantovani, M., Stadler, P., Belzig, W., Rastelli, G., & Armour, A. (2019). Theory of double Cooper-pair tunneling and light emission mediated by a resonator. Physical Review B, 100(5), Article 054515. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.100.054515

Photon emission by tunneling electrons can be encouraged by locating a resonator close to the tunnel junction and applying an appropriate voltage-bias. However, studies of normal metals show that the resonator also affects how the charges flow, facil...

Subradiance-protected excitation transport (2019)
Journal Article
Needham, J. A., Lesanovsky, I., & Olmos, B. (2019). Subradiance-protected excitation transport. New Journal of Physics, 21(7), Article 073061. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ab31e8

We explore excitation transport within a one-dimensional chain of atoms where the atomic transition dipoles are coupled to the free radiation field. When the atoms are separated by distances smaller or comparable to the wavelength of the transition,... Read More about Subradiance-protected excitation transport.

Strong zero modes in a class of generalized Ising spin ladders with plaquette interactions (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 American Physical Society. We study a class of spin-1/2 quantum ladder models with generalized plaquette interactions in the presence of a transverse field. We show that in certain parameter regimes, these models have strong zero modes respons... Read More about Strong zero modes in a class of generalized Ising spin ladders with plaquette interactions.

The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics-dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-all involve gravity as a key component. And o... Read More about Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: A roadmap.

Josephson junction cavity systems as cousins of the quantum optical micromaser (2019)
Journal Article

We explore the similarities and differences between simple theoretical models developed to describe the quantum optical micromaser and Josephson-photonics devices. Whilst the micromaser has long been recognised as an important model for the dynamics... Read More about Josephson junction cavity systems as cousins of the quantum optical micromaser.

Spontaneous scalarization in generalized scalar-tensor theory (2019)
Journal Article

Spontaneous scalarization is a mechanism that endows relativistic stars and black holes with a nontrivial configuration only when their spacetime curvature exceeds some threshold. The standard way to trigger spontaneous scalarization is via a tachyon... Read More about Spontaneous scalarization in generalized scalar-tensor theory.

The relationship between negative BOLD responses and ERS and ERD of alpha/beta oscillations in visual and motor cortex (2019)

No-hair theorems for scalar-tensor theories imply that the trivial scalar field configuration is the unique configuration around stationary black hole spacetimes. The most basic assumption in these theorems is that a constant scalar configuration is... Read More about Classification of shift-symmetric Horndeski theories and hairy black holes.
