 | Williams, Clayton C. | Atomic scale trap state characterization by dynamic tunneling force microscopy | Dynamic tunneling force microscopy (DTFM) is applied to the study of point defects in an inter-layer dielectric film. A recent development enables simultaneous acquisition of DTFM, surface potential, and topographic images while under active height feedback control. The images show no clear correlat... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Mishchenko, Eugene | Attraction-repulsion transition in the interaction of adatoms and vacancies in graphene | The interaction of two resonant impurities in graphene has been predicted to have a long-range character with weaker repulsion when the two adatoms reside on the same sublattice and stronger attraction when they are on different sublattices. We reveal that this attraction results from a single energ... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Gondolo, Paolo | Axion cold dark matter in view of BICEP2 results | The properties of axions that constitute 100% of cold dark matter (CDM) depend on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r at the end of inflation. If r ¼ 0.20 þ0.07 −0.05 as reported by the BICEP2 Collaboration, then "half" of the CDM axion parameter space is ruled out. Namely, in the context of single-fie... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Saam, Brian | Comment on: New limit on lorentz-invariance- and CPT-violating neutron spin interactions using a free-spin-precession 3He- 129Xe comagnetometer | In Ref. [1], the authors use a classical result for the magnetic field created by a uniform magnetization to analyze the effects of magnetic interactions between 3He and 129Xe nuclear spins. We point out that the classical result is not applicable for interaction between nuclear spins: the actual in... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Wu, Yong-Shi | Emergent exclusion statistics of quasiparticles in two-dimensional topological phases | We demonstrate how the generalized Pauli exclusion principle emerges for quasiparticle excitations in 2D topological phases. As an example, we examine the Levin-Wen model with the Fibonacci data (specified in the text), and construct the number operator for fluxons living on plaquettes. By numerical... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Mishchenko, Eugene | Equilibrium currents in chiral systems with nonzero Chern number | We describe a simple quantum-mechanical approach to calculating equilibrium particle current along the edge of a system with nontrivial band spectrum topology. The approach does not require any a priori knowledge of the band topology and, as a matter of fact, treats topological and nontopological co... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Gerton, Jordan | Improved localization accuracy in stochastic super-resolution fluorescence microscopy by K-factor image deshadowing | Localization of a single fluorescent particle with sub-diffraction-limit accuracy is a key merit in localization microscopy. Existing methods such as photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) achieve localization accuracies of single emitt... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Lupton, John Mark | Mechanisms of spin-dependent dark conductivity in films of a soluble fullerene derivative under bipolar injection | We report room-temperature pulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance measurements of the dark conductivity of films of the fullerene derivative [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) under bipolar (electron-hole) and unipolar (electron-rich) injection conditions. Directly after mate... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Rogachev, Andrey | Observation of shot noise in phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes | We employed a cross correlation method to study current noise in phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. The noise spectra revealed two frequency-dependent components. The first component displays 1/ f 1.3 dependence and correlates with the light emission of the devices. The second component i... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Bromley, Benjamin C. | Predicted space motions for hypervelocity and runaway stars: proper motions and radial velocities for the GAIA Era | We predict the distinctive three dimensional space motions of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) and runaway stars moving in a realistic Galactic potential. For nearby stars with distances less than 10 kpc, unbound stars are rare; proper motions alone rarely isolate bound HVSs and runaways from indigenous h... | | 2014-01-01 |

 | Gondolo, Paolo | Wanted! Nuclear data for dark matter astrophysics | Astronomical observations from small galaxies to the largest scales in the universe can be consistently explained by the simple idea of dark matter. The nature of dark matter is however still unknown. Empirically it cannot be any of the known particles, and many theories postulate it as a new elemen... | | 2014-01-01 |
