Twistor strings for N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 8 supergravity

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
This paper presents a worldsheet theory describing holomorphic maps to twistor space with N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ fermionic directions. The theory is anomaly free when N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 8.

High‐Performance n‐Type Organic Thermoelectrics Enabled by Control Over Microstructure, Orientation and Contact Plane in Naphthalenediimide‐Bithiazole‐Copolymer Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Effective control over the crystalline contact plane and microstructure of a naphthalenediimide‐bithiazole copolymer enables high‐performance n‐type thermoelectrics. While rubbing alignment induces a detrimental edge‐on orientation, subsequent solvent vapor‐induced re‐orientation facilitates a favorable mixed face‐on/edge‐on morphology.

Integrable deformations from twistor space

SciPost Physics
Integrable field theories in two dimensions are known to originate as defect theories of 4d Chern-Simons and as symmetry reductions of the 4d anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations.

Bismuth‐Based Photocatalysts for Water Remediation: Design Strategies, Mechanisms, and Challenges

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights representative design strategies for bismuth‐based semiconductor photocatalysts in solar‐driven water purification. Emphasis is placed on electronic structure regulation, oxygen‐vacancy engineering, and interfacial coupling to enable efficient full‐spectrum light utilization, improved charge separation, and selective oxidation in

Curved twistor spaces

, 1977
This thesis is concerned with the problem of "coding" the information of various zero-rest-mass fields into the complex structure of "curved twistor spaces". Chapter 2 is devoted to various preliminaries: a brief outline of twistor theory; an introduction to vector bundles and sheaf cohomology and some of their applications in twistor theory; and a ...

Molecular Rotors: From Newtonian Fluids to Functional Materials as Viscosity and Temperature Sensing Tools

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular rotors are fluorescent molecules that are sensitive to viscosity and temperature variations in the environment. They exhibit a direct correlation between fluorescence and viscosity within Newtonian fluids. However, this correlation becomes less straightforward in complex systems.

Higher-spin initial data in twistor space with complex stargenvalues

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
This paper is a supplement to and extension of arXiv:1903.01399. In the internal twistor space of the 4D Vasiliev’s higher-spin gravity, we study the star-product eigenfunctions of number operators with generic complex eigenvalues.

Tailored Diketopyrrolopyrrole Derivatives for Efficient Deep‐Red Organic Lasers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Tailored diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives exhibit high stable amplified spontaneous emission with single or dual bands. Incorporated into distributed‐feedback lasers based on one‐ and two‐dimensional dichromated‐gelatin diffractive gratings, these materials provide a robust, flexible platform for integrated organic deep‐red light sources. ABSTRACT Deep‐

Spacetime representation of topological phononics

New Journal of Physics, 2018
Non-conventional topology of elastic waves arises from breaking symmetry of phononic structures either intrinsically through internal resonances or extrinsically via application of external stimuli.
