A model is described, in which electrical breakdown in high-voltage systems is caused by stochastic fluctuations of the mobile dislocation population in the cathode. In this model, the mobile dislocation density normally fluctuates, with a…
Flatbands emerge from a myriad of structures such as Landau levels, Lieb and Kagome lattices, linegraphs, and more recently moire superlattices. They enable unique properties including slow light in photonics, correlated phases in…
The brighter fatter effect has been postulated to arise due to the build up of a transverse electric field, produced as photo-charges accumulate in the pixels' potential wells. We investigate the brighter fatter effect in Hyper Suprime-Cam…
