Phase Competition and Rutile Phase Stabilization of Growing GeO2 Films by MOCVD
Rutile germanium dioxide (r-GeO2) is an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor with potential for ambipolar doping, making it a promising candidate for next-generation power electronics and optoelectronics. Growth of phase-pure r-GeO2 films by vapor phase techniques like metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is challenging because of polymorphic competition from amorphous and quartz GeO2. Here, we introduce seed-driven stepwise crystallization (SDSC) as a segmented growth strategy for obtain…

Sandwiched singularities and nearly Lefschetz fibrations
We study Milnor fibers and symplectic fillings of links of sandwiched singularities, with the goal of contrasting their algebro-geometric deformation theory and symplectic topology. In the algebro-geometric setting, smoothings of sandwiched singularities are described by de Jong--van Straten's theory: all Milnor fibers are generated from deformations of a singular plane curve germ associated to the surface singularity. We develop an analog of this theory in the symplectic setting, showing that …

Stablecoin Card Startup Rain Raises $58 Million Led By Sapphire Ventures
Rain, a stablecoin-backed card issuer that works with Visa, said it raised $58 million in Series B round led by Sapphire Ventures, just months after its last fundraising round, demonstrating once again investor enthusiasm for crypto startups flowing from congressional passage of stablecoin legislation in July. With the deal, Rain’s valuation increased nearly six times from its $24.5 million
