The application of seismic reflection and electrical resistivity methods (2D and 3D) in geotechnical investigations is explored through a case study in Northern Greece. These methods were employed to Mavropigi lignite open pit mine and the surveyed area is the next step in mining expansion. The main aim of the geophysical survey was to map the bedrock, the contact between the Neogene and Schist/Carbonate formations as well as to estimate the thickness of the carbonate rocks on top of the Schist formations in order to study the stability of the final mine slopes. These geophysical data provides a geotechnical model which will be used in mine planning from Greek Public Power Corporation. © 2021 11th Congress of the Balkan Geophysical Society, BGS 2021.

The performance of superconducting qubits is often limited by dissipation and two-level systems (TLS) losses. The dominant sources of these losses are believed to originate from amorphous materials and defects at interfaces and surfaces, likely as a result of fabrication processes or ambient exposure. Here, we explore a novel wet chemical surface treatment at the Josephson junction-substrate and the substrate-air interfaces by replacing a buffered oxide etch (BOE) cleaning process with one that uses hydrofluoric acid followed by aqueous ammonium fluoride. We show that the ammonium fluoride etch process results in a statistically significant improvement in median T1 by ∼ 22% (p = 0.002), and a reduction in the number of strongly-coupled TLS in the tunable frequency range. Microwave resonator measurements on samples treated with the ammonium fluoride etch prior to niobium deposition also show ∼ 33% lower TLS-induced loss tangent compared to the BOE treated samples. As the chemical treatment primarily modifies the Josephson junction-substrate interface and substrate-air interface, we perform targeted chemical and structural characterizations to examine materials’ differences at these interfaces and identify multiple microscopic changes that could contribute to decreased TLS. © 2024, CC BY-NC-ND.

Proteins fold to a specific functional conformation with a densely packed hydrophobic core that controls their stability. We develop a geometric, yet all-atom model for proteins that explains the universal core packing fraction of φc = 0.55 found in experimental measurements. We show that as the hydrophobic interactions increase relative to the temperature, a novel jamming transition occurs when the core packing fraction exceeds φc. The model also recapitulates the global structure of proteins since it can accurately refold to native-like structures from partially unfolded states. © 2024, CC BY.

Superconducting microwave resonators are critical to quantum computing and sensing technologies. Additionally, they are common proxies for superconducting qubits when determining the effects of performance-limiting loss mechanisms such as from two-level systems (TLS). The extraction of these loss mechanisms is often performed by measuring the internal quality factor Qi as a function of power or temperature. In this work, we investigate large temporal fluctuations of Qi at low powers over periods of 12 to 16 hours (relative standard deviation σQi/Qi = 13%). These fluctuations are ubiquitous across multiple resonators, chips and cooldowns. We are able to attribute these fluctuations to variations in the TLS loss tangent due to two main indicators. First, measured fluctuations decrease as power and temperature increase. Second, for interleaved measurements, we observe correlations between low- and medium-power Qi fluctuations and an absence of correlations with high-power fluctuations. Agreement with the TLS loss tangent mean is obtained by performing measurements over a time span of a few hours. We hypothesize that, in addition to decoherence due to coupling to individual near-resonant TLS, superconducting qubits are affected by these observed TLS loss tangent fluctuations. © 2024, CC BY.

Exponentially localized surface states are the most distinctive property of a crystal with non-trivial band topology. Such surface states play a key role in characterizing topological insulators (TIs), both in theory and experiments. TIs resulting from the hybridization of heavy (or nearly flat) and light (or dispersive) bands are automatically tuned to the vicinity of an insulator-to-metal phase transition (IMT), which is not accompanied by a change in bulk band-topology. By formulating a scaling theory for IMTs in such "heavy" TIs, we show that the proximity to an IMT manifests most dramatically in the behavior of the surface states, viz. (i) the strength of spin-orbital locking is strongly suppressed;(ii) the surface conduction and valence bands support vastly different number of states;(iii) the surface states penetrate deep into the bulk and the penetration depth diverges at the IMT point. Thus, the surface states in heavy TIs coexist with bulk scattered states, and may no longer serve as an useful determinant of their bulk band-topology. The mechanism of degradation of surface states discussed here is generic, and expected to hold in both heavy TIs and semimetals. © 2021, CC BY.

We present a new velocity-gauge real-time, time-dependent density functional tight-binding (VG-rtTDDFTB) implementation in the open-source DFTB+ software package (https://***) for probing electronic excitations in large, condensed matter systems. Our VG-rtTDDFTB approach enables real-time electron dynamics simulations of large, periodic, condensed matter systems containing thousands of atoms with a favorable computational scaling as a function of system size. We provide computational details and benchmark calculations to demonstrate its accuracy and computational parallelizability on a variety of large material systems. As a representative example, we calculate laser-induced electron dynamics in a 512-atom amorphous silicon supercell to highlight the large periodic systems that can be examined with our implementation. Taken together, our VG-rtTDDFTB approach enables new electron dynamics simulations of complex systems that require large periodic supercells, such as crystal defects, complex surfaces, nanowires, and amorphous materials.

We propose a novel architecture that realizes full-duplex directional beamforming in the sub-terahertz regime. Our architecture leverages the frequency-controlled beam steering of leaky-wave antenna together with the polarization-dependent response of aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes. We evaluate the performance of this architecture via preliminary experiments.
