The nature of the gravitational vacuum
The vacuum must contain virtual fluctuations of black hole microstates for each mass $M$. We observe that the expected suppression for $M\gg m_p$ is counteracted by the large number $Exp[S_{bek}]$ of such states. From string theory we learn that these microstates are extended objects that are resistant to compression. ...

Less is more: more scattering leading to less resistance
We study the breaking of integrability by a finite density of dilute impurities, specifically the emerging diffusive transport. Provided the distance between impurities (localized perturbations) is large, one would expect that the scattering rates are additive, and therefore, the resistivity is proportional to the numb...

Long-term evolution of neutron-star merger remnants in general relativistic resistive-magnetohydrodynamics with a mean-field dynamo term
Long-term neutrino-radiation resistive-magnetohydrodynamics simulations in full general relativity are performed for a system composed of a massive neutron star and a torus formed as a remnant of binary neutron star mergers. The simulation is performed in axial symmetry incorporating a mean-field dynamo term for a hypo...

Copper Large-scale Grain Growth by UV Nanosecond Pulsed Laser Annealing
UV nanosecond pulsed laser annealing (UV NLA) enables both surface-localized heating and short timescale high temperature processing, which can be advantageous to reduce metal line resistance by enlarging metal grains in lines or in thin films, while maintaining the integrity and performance of surrounding structures. ...

Absence versus Presence of Dissipative Quantum Phase Transition in Josephson Junctions
Dissipative quantum phase transition has been widely believed to occur in a Josephson junction coupled to a resistor despite a lack of concrete experimental evidence. Here, on the basis of both numerical and analytical nonperturbative renormalization group (RG) analyses, we reveal breakdown of previous perturbative arg...

Effective model and Magnetic Properties of the Resistive Electron Quadrupling State
Recent experiments [V.~Grinenko {\it et al.} {Nat. Phys. {\bf 17}, 1254 (2021)}; \url{http://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-021-01350-9}] reported the observation of a condensate of four-fermion composites. This is a resistive state that spontaneously breaks the time-reversal symmetry, leading to unconventional magnetic proper...

A stableness of resistance model for nonresponse adjustment with callback data
Nonresponse arises frequently in surveys and follow-ups are routinely made to increase the response rate. In order to monitor the follow-up process, callback data have been used in social sciences and survey studies for decades. In modern surveys, the availability of callback data is increasing because the response rat...

Geometric interference in a high-mobility graphene annulus p-n junction device
The emergence of interference is observed in the resistance of a graphene annulus pn junction device as a result of applying two separate gate voltages. The observed resistance patterns are carefully inspected, and it is determined that the position of the peaks resulting from those patterns are independent of temperat...

A construction of exotic metallic states
We discuss examples of two dimensional metallic states with charge fractionalization, and we will demonstrate that the mechanism of charge fractionalization leads to exotic metallic behaviors at low and intermediate temperature.

Using electrical resistance asymmetries to infer the geometric shapes of foundry patterned nanophotonic structures
While silicon photonics has leveraged the nanofabrication tools and techniques from the microelectronics industry, it has also inherited the metrological methods from the same. Photonics fabrication is inherently different from microelectronics in its intrinsic sensitivity to 3D shape and geometry, especially in a high...

Biermann Battery Powered by Resistive Heating Induced by Cosmic Ray Streaming
It is recently proposed that cosmic rays generate a seed magnetic field in the early universe. In this paper, we propose another generation mechanism of magnetic fields by cosmic rays, which is the Biermann battery driven by resistive heating induced by the streaming of cosmic rays. This mechanism is dominant in small-...

Demonstration of high sensitivity of microwave-induced resistance oscillations to circular polarization
We demonstrate that long-debated immunity of microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIRO) to the sense of circular polarization is not a generic property of this phenomenon in solid-state two-dimensional electron systems. Using a large-area GaAs-based heterostructure we detect up to 30 times larger MIRO signal for ...

Granular Effect on Electron Conduction in Discontinuous Metal Films
We reanalyze the seminal work by Dolan and Osheroff [Phys. Rev. Lett. $\textbf{43}$, 721 (1979)] which reported anomalous low-temperature conduction of high-resistivity thin-film metal strips. We argue that the observed logarithmic increase of resistance with decreasing temperature in their 3-nm-thick Au-Pd strips be a...

Spin and valley effects on the quantum phase transition in two dimensions
Using several independent methods, we find that the metal-insulator transition occurs in the strongly-interacting two-valley two-dimensional electron system in ultra-high mobility SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum wells in zero magnetic field. The transition survives in this system in parallel magnetic fields strong enough to compl...

Adaptive 3D Mesh Steganography Based on Feature-Preserving Distortion
3D mesh steganographic algorithms based on geometric modification are vulnerable to 3D steganalyzers. In this paper, we propose a highly adaptive 3D mesh steganography based on feature-preserving distortion (FPD), which guarantees high embedding capacity while effectively resisting 3D steganalysis. Specifically, we fir...

Negative differential thermal resistance of fluids induced by heat baths
It has recently been shown that in one-dimensional hard-point gases, there is a mechanism that induces negative differential thermal resistance (NDTR) between heat baths. We examine this mechanism in more general higher dimensional fluids described by multiparticle collision dynamics. We consider fluids in a finite cub...

Coherent interlayer coupling in quasi-two-dimensional Dirac fermions in $α$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$
Theoretical and experimental studies have supported that the electronic structure of $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ under pressure is described by two-dimensional Dirac fermions. When the interlayer tunneling is coherent, the electronic structure of the system becomes three-dimensional, and we expect the peak structure t...
