Strain-Engineered Electronic Structure and Superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ Thin Films
Recently, the films of the Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) nickelate superconductors, in which the (La,Pr)$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ system exhibits a remarkable transition temperature $T_c$ exceeding 40 K, were synthesized at ambient pressure. We systematically investigate the band structures and electronic correlation effect to identify the key factors controlling superconductivity and pathways to enhance $T_c$. Based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we construct a bilayer two-orbital ($3d_{3z^2-…

Microstructural and preliminary optical and microwave characterization of erbium doped CaMoO$_4$ thin films
This work explores erbium-doped calcium molybdate (CaMoO$_4$) thin films grown on silicon and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates, as a potential solid state system for C-band (utilizing the $\sim$1.5 $μ$m Er$^{3+}$ 4f-4f transition) quantum emitters for quantum network applications. Through molecular beam epitaxial growth experiments and electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and reflection electron diffraction studies, we identify an incorporation limited deposition regime that enabl…

On the nonreciprocal propagation of light waves in asymmetric lossy system of thin films
Optical nonreciprocity is the phenomenon where light behaves differently when traveling in the forward direction compared to the backward direction. This nonreciprocal behavior is typically achieved in systems that exhibit electromagnetic coupling, temporal variation, and nonlinear properties. In this work, we demonstrate that nonreciprocal behavior can also exist in an optically asymmetric lossy system without requiring these conditions. In our study, we theoretically investigate the nonrecipr…

Pink noise in Electric Current from Amplitude Modulations
We recently proposed that the general origin of 1/f fluctuation, or pink noise, is the amplitude modulation (or beat) of many waves with accumulating frequencies. In this paper, we verify this proposal in the electric current system. We use the classical Langevin equation to describe the electron wave packets flowing in the (semi-)conductor, affected by the back reaction of soft photon emission. If this were amplitude modulation, a demodulation process is needed to extract the fluctuation featu…

I watched "Thief" (1981), directed by Michael Mann. Sort of a heist movie, sort of a mob movie, but aspires to be a Cassavetes movie. An interesting mix, and really well shot. Ryan Coogler said this was the film that made "wet-downs" a thing, and judging by all of the wet streets & sidewalks, I believe it.
Features Willie Nelson in a minor role. Also features a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.
