© 2017 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. We report on a "giant" quantum Hall effect plateau in a graphene-based field-effect transistor where graphene is capped by a layer of the van der Waals crystal InSe. The giant quantum Hall e...

Topological properties of a dense atomic lattice gas (2017)
Journal Article
Bettles, R. J., Minář, J., Adams, C. S., Lesanovsky, I., & Olmos, B. (2017). Topological properties of a dense atomic lattice gas. Physical Review A, 96(4), Article 041603. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.96.041603

We investigate the existence of topological phases in a dense two-dimensional atomic lattice gas. The coupling of the atoms to the radiation field gives rise to dissipation and a non-trivial coherent long-range exchange interaction whose form goes be...

Experimental signatures of an absorbing-state phase transition in an open driven many-body quantum system (2017)
Journal Article
Gutiérrez, R., Simonelli, C., Archimi, M., Castellucci, F., Arimondo, E., Ciampini, D., Marcuzzi, M., Lesanovsky, I., & Morsch, O. (2017). Experimental signatures of an absorbing-state phase transition in an open driven many-body quantum system. Physical Review A, 96(4), Article 041602(R). https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.96.041602

Understanding and probing phase transitions in non-equilibrium systems is an ongoing challenge in physics. A particular instance are phase transitions that occur between a non-fluctuating absorbing phase, e.g., an extinct population, and one in which...

Galaxy Zoo: secular evolution of barred galaxies from structural decomposition of multiband images. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(4), https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2605

We present the results of two-component (disc+bar) and three-component (disc+bar+bulge) multiwavelength 2D photometric decompositions of barred galaxies in five Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) bands (ugriz). This sample of ∼3500 nearby (z<0.06) galax...

This paper defines the UK Infra-Red Telescope (UKIRT) Hemisphere Survey (UHS) and release of the remaining ∼12 700 deg2 of J-band survey data products. The UHS will provide continuous J- and K-band coverage in the Northern hemisphere from a declinati... Read More about The UKIRT Hemisphere Survey: definition and J-band data release.

Exploring ultra-fast charge transfer and vibronic coupling with N 1s RIXS maps of an aromatic molecule coupled to a semiconductor (2017)
Journal Article
O'Shea, J. N., Handrup, K., Temperton, R. H., Gibson, A. J., Nicolaou, A., & Jaouen, N. (in press). Exploring ultra-fast charge transfer and vibronic coupling with N 1s RIXS maps of an aromatic molecule coupled to a semiconductor. Journal of Chemical Physics, 147(13), Article 134705. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4999135

We present for the first time two-dimensional resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) maps of multilayer and monolayer biisonicotinic acid adsorbed on the rutile TiO2(110) single crystal surface. This enables the elastic channel to be followed ove...

Dynamics of large-scale electrophysiological networks: a technical review (2017)
Journal Article
O'Neill, G. C., Tewarie, P. K., Vidaurre, D., Liuzzi, L., Woolrich, M. W., & Brookes, M. J. (2017). Dynamics of large-scale electrophysiological networks: a technical review. NeuroImage, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.10.003

For several years it has been argued that neural synchronisation is crucial for cognition. The idea that synchronised temporal patterns between different neural groups carries information above and beyond the isolated activity of these groups has ins...

Epidemic dynamics in open quantum spin systems (2017)
Journal Article

We explore the non-equilibrium evolution and stationary states of an open many-body system which displays epidemic spreading dynamics in a classical and a quantum regime. Our study is motivated by recent experiments conducted in strongly interacting... Read More about Epidemic dynamics in open quantum spin systems.

Do the theorised different formation mechanisms of fast and slow rotators produce an observable difference in their star formation histories? To study this we identify quenching slow rotators in the MaNGA sample by selecting those which lie below the...

Thermal Schwinger pair production at arbitrary coupling (2017)
Journal Article

We calculate the rate of thermal Schwinger pair production at arbitrary coupling in weak external fields. Our calculations are valid independently of many properties of the charged particles produced, in particular their spin and whether they are ele...
