Acoustically induced slip in sheared granular layers: Application to dynamic earthquake triggering
(2015)A fundamental mystery in earthquake physics is "how can an earthquake be triggered by distant seismic sources?" Here we use discrete element method simulations of a granular layer, during stick slip, that is subject to ... -

Amorphous nanostructuralization in HOPG by 10(14) W cm(-2) laser
(2016)This reports provide an amorphous nanostructuralization technique on the surface modification in Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) by using a femtosecond laser. We showed, for the first time, that the surface of ... -

An important criterion for reliable multi-monochromatic x-ray imager diagnostics and its impact on the reconstructed images
(2015)Temperature and density asymmetry diagnosis is critical to advance inertial confinement fusion (ICF) science. A multi-monochromatic x-ray imager, MMI, records the spectral signature from an ICF implosion core with time ... -

Apparatus for dry deposition of aerosols on snow
(2018)Deposition of light-absorbing aerosol on snow can drastically change the albedo of the snow surface and the energy balance of the snowpack. To study these important effects experimentally and to compare them with theory, ... -

Areal-Averaged Spectral Surface Albedo in an Atlantic Coastal Area: Estimation from Ground-Based Transmission
(2017)Tower-based data combined with high-resolution satellite products have been used to produce surface albedo at various spatial scales over land. Because tower-based albedo data are available at only a few sites, surface ... -

Coherence Preservation of a Single Neutral Atom Qubit Transferred between Magic-Intensity Optical Traps
(2016)We demonstrate that the coherence of a single mobile atomic qubit can be well preserved during a transfer process among different optical dipole traps (ODTs). This is a prerequisite step in realizing a large-scale neutral ... -
