We present atomistic valence force field calculations of thermal transport in Si nanowires of diameters from 12nm down to 1nm. We show that as the diameter is reduced, the phonon density-of-states and transmission function acquire a finite…

Reducing the thermal noises in microwave (MW) resonators can bring about significant progress in many research fields. In this study, we consider using three-level or four-level systems as "quantum refrigerators" to cool down MW resonators…

Small muon beams increase the luminosity of a muon collider. Reducing the momentum and position spreads of muons reduces emittance and leads to small, cool beams. Ionization cooling has been observed at the Muon Ionization Cooling…

We have developed a new generation of low noise, broadband feeds for the Allen Telescope Array at the Hat Creek Observatory in Northern California. The new feeds operate over the frequency range 0.9 to 14 GHz. The noise temperatures of the…

The Simons Observatory (SO) will provide precision polarimetry of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using a series of telescopes which will cover angular scales from arc-minutes to tens of degrees, contain over 60,000 detectors, and…

Clathrates are a materials class with an extremely low phonon thermal conductivity, which is a key ingredient for a high thermoelectric conversion efficiency. Here, we present a study on the type-I clathrate…

Experimental tests of gravity's fundamental nature call for mechanical systems in the quantum regime while being sensitive to gravity. Torsion pendula, historically vital in studies of classical gravity, are ideal for extending…

We have measured thermoelectric properties of Ta2PdX6 (X=S, Se) around room temperature using single crystal samples. We find that the power factor of Ta2PdX6 is relatively high from middle-low to room temperatures, and notably Ta2PdSe6…

We investigate the impact of localized laser heating on the auto-oscillation properties of a 170 nm wide nano-constriction spin Hall nano-oscillators (SHNO) fabricated from a NiFe/Pt bilayer on a sapphire substrate. A 532 nm continuous wave…

We experimentally realize cavity cooling of all three translational degrees of motion of a levitated nanoparticle in vacuum. The particle is trapped by a cavity-independent optical tweezer and coherently scatters tweezer light into the blue…

This paper describes the construction of a cryostat and an optical system with a free-space coupling efficiency of 56.5% +/- 3.4% to a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) for infrared quantum communication and spectrum…

This paper reports a suspended thin-film lithium niobate (LN) piezoelectric resonator platform surviving high annealing temperatures of 550 {\deg}C, among the highest temperature at which the thermal resilience of suspended LN resonators is…

Thermal conditions in the LTP, the LISA Technology Package, are required to be very stable, and in such environment precision temperature measurements are also required for various diagnostics objectives. A sensitive temperature gauging…

Here we review recent progress in cooling micro/nanoelectronic devices significantly below 10 mK. A number of groups worldwide are working to produce sub-millikelvin on-chip electron temperatures, motivated by the possibility of observing…

Semiconductor nanowire lasers can produce guided coherent light emission with miniaturized geometry, bringing about new possibility for a variety of applications including nanophotonic circuits, optical sensing, and on-chip and chip-to-chip…

In high-performance RF transceivers the thrust of has been on lower noise LNAs and high-power high-speed PAs. The performance trade-off has forced many solutions to have the LNA and PA on a separate die compared to the rest of baseband.…

The observation that the thermal conductivity of single-crystalline silicon nanowires with diameter on the length scale of 25 nm is lower than that of bulk material by two orders of magnitude has attracted the interest onto silicon as a…

The electronic and transport properties of (10, 0) single-walled carbon nanotube are studied by performing the first-principles calculations and semi-classical Boltzmann theory. It is found that the (10, 0) tube exhibits considerably large…

The quest to enhance the sensitivity of electron spin resonance (ESR) is an ongoing challenge. One potential strategy involves increasing the frequency, for instance, moving from Q-band (approximately 35 GHz) to W-band (approximately 94…

Controlling the thermal conductivity of semiconductors is of practical interest in optimizing the performance of thermoelectric and phononic devices. The insertion of inclusions of nanometer size in a semiconductor is an effective means of…
