Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 30.05 в 11:30 будет заслушан
доклад (коллоквиум):

З. Д. Квон (ИФП СО РАН, Новосибирск)

Двумерные топологические изоляторы и полуметаллы на основе HgTe

В докладе дан обзор наиболее интересных и парадоксальных результатов
экспериментальных исследований двумерных топологических изоляторов и
полуметаллов на основе HgTe квантовых ям. Если говоритьо свойствах
двумерного ТИ, то к ним можно отнести отсутствие в нем эффектов
топологической защиты от обратного рассеяния, а также реализация
нескольких сценариев андерсоновской локализации. В двумерных
полуметаллах новые эффекты возникают при наличии сильного беспорядка.
Обнаружена двухступенчатая андерсоновская локализация в объеме квантовой
ямы, когда первыми локализуются двумерные дырки, как частицы с почти на
порядок большей эффективной массой, чем у электронов. Затем происходит
локализация электронов. Установлено, что при температуре ниже 0.5 К
вызванный локализацией экспоненциальный рост сопротивления прекращается
и происходит переход к режиму доминирующего одномерного (1D) транспорта
с металлическим поведением сопротивления. Подобный факт указывает на
отсутствие эффектов одномерной локализации. Это означает, что в
квантовых ямах с инверсным спектром отсутствует топологическая защита от
локализации электронов и дырок в объеме квантовой ямы, в то время как
одномерные краевые токовые состояния топологически защищены от нее.
Следовательно, можно говорить о новом типе 2D топологического изолятора
- 2D топологическом андерсоновском изоляторе. Заключительная часть
доклада посвящена описанию аномальных мезоскопических флуктуаций
кондактанса, возникающих в результате тонкой игры беспорядка и
электронно-дырочного взаимодействия.

'This is an attack on NASA.' Space agency union speaks out against DOGE cuts in NYC
(NASA)
NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies has stood on a Manhattan corner near Columbia University's campus (and above the "Seinfeld" diner) in NYC since 1966. But that's ending.
In April, GISS employees received word that their office was being shuttered as part of the administration's latest round of federal funding cuts. They had until May 31 to move out, and the space agency's largest union not taking it lying down.

Scientists capture never-before-seen plasma streams
(Schmidt et al./NJIT/NSO/AURA/NSF)
Using a newly developed adaptive optics system called Cona, scientists peered through Earth's turbulent air to reveal the sun's corona in astonishing clarity. What they saw was amazing.
"These are by far the most detailed observations of this kind, showing features not previously observed, and it's not quite clear what they are," Vasyl Yurchyshyn, co-author of the study, said.

China just launched its Tianwen 2 asteroid probe. What's next?
(Addy Graham/University of Arizona)
China's latest deep-space mission is underway. The Tianwen 2 asteroid-comet probe lifted off on Tuesday atop a Long March 3B rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwestern China.
The probe is headed to the 'quasi-moon' asteroid headed for  Kamo'oalewa (also known as 2016 HO3), as well as a comet. Here's what it will do.

Astronomers discover mystery body bursting with X-rays
(Ziteng Wang, ICRAR)
One of the strangest cosmic objects ever seen just got even weirder. The mystery object, known as ASKAP J1832- 0911, is located within the Milky Way about 15,000 light-years away from Earth. 
"This object is unlike anything we have seen before," team leader and Curtin University researcher Zieng (Andy) Wang says.

Scientists question possible signs of life on K2-18b
(NASA, ESA, CSA, Joseph Olmsted)
Results have sparked intense debate among astronomers. While recognizing this finding would be a groundbreaking achievement and a major testament to the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) capabilities if true, many scientists remain skeptical, questioning both the reliability of the detected DMS signature as well as whether DMS itself is a dependable sign of life in the first place. As such, many independent teams have been conducting follow-up studies about the original claims - and a newly published one only adds to the debate, suggesting the Cambridge scientists' DMS detection wasn't significant enough to warrant the publicity it received.
