The Insertable B-layer (IBL) is a fourth pixel layer that will be added inside the existing ATLAS pixel detector during the long LHC shutdown of 2013 and 2014. The new four layer pixel system will ensure excellent tracking, vertexing and…
A spectral splitting, light trapping dielectric metasurface is designed, fabricated and integrated into a four-terminal perovskite/silicon hybrid tandem solar cell to increase the absorption of light close to the bandgap of the perovskite…
We apply systematic methods previously used by Mihalkovic et al. to predict the structure of the `basic' Co-rich modification of the decagonal Al70 Co20 Ni10 layered quasicrystal, based on known lattice constants and previously calculated…

Split opfibrations are functors equipped with a suitable choice of opcartesian lifts. The purpose of this paper is to characterise internal split opfibrations through separating the structure of a suitable choice of lifts from the property…
In some models beyond the Standard Model where lepton number violation by two units is forbidden (implying neutrinos cannot be Majorana fermions), violation by four units can still occur, allowing neutrinoless quadruple beta decay. The…

The process at the heart of neutrinoless double-beta decay, $nn \rightarrow p p\, e^- e^-$ induced by a light Majorana neutrino, is investigated in pionless and chiral effective field theory. We show in various regularization schemes the…
It is pointed out that one-component \phi^4 lattice theory in four dimensions has a non-perturbative sector which can be studied by means of an exact duality transformation of its Ising limit. This duality maps it to a membrane model. As a…

Conventional array designs based on circular fourth-order cumulant typically adopt a single expression form of the fourth-order difference co-array (FODCA), which limits the achievable degrees of freedom (DOFs) and neglects the impact of…
