Jupiter Evolutionary Models Incorporating Stably Stratified Regions by Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Ankan Sur, Yubo Su, Adam Burrows

“…We address the issue of which broad set of initial conditions for the planet Jupiter best matches the current presence of a “fuzzy core” of heavy elements, while at the same time comporting with measured parameters such as its effective temperature, atmospheric helium abundance, radius, and atmospheric metallicity. Our focus is on the class of fuzzy cores that can survive convective mixing to the present day and on the unique challenges of an inhomogeneous Jupiter with stably stratified regions now demanded by the Juno gravity data. …”

Valley charge-transfer insulator in twisted double bilayer WSe2 by LingNan Wei, Qingxin Li, Majeed Ur Rehman, Yangchen He, Dongdong An, Shiwei Li, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Martin Claassen, Kostya S. Novoselov, Dante M. Kennes, Angel Rubio, Daniel A. Rhodes, Lede Xian, Geliang Yu, Lei Wang

“…Using gate control, we continuously move the K-valley band across the Γ-valley Hubbard bands, and observe a tunable charge-transfer insulator gap and subsequently a continuous phase transition to a metal. The tuning of Mott˘Hubbard to charge-transfer insulator establishes valley degree of freedom as a suitable knob for transitions between exotic correlated phases.…”
