We present a novel experimental approach which allows extraction of both spatial and temporal information on charge dynamics in organic solar cells. Using the wavelength dependence of the photonic structure in these devices, we monitor the change in spatial overlap between the photogenerated hole distribution and the optical probe profile as a function of time. In a model system we find evidenc...

The construction of a model of the gravitational-wave (GW) signal from generic configurations of spinning-black-hole binaries, through inspiral, merger, and ringdown, is one of the most pressing theoretical problems in the buildup to the era of GW astronomy. We present the first such model in the frequency domain, PhenomP, which captures the basic phenomenology of the seven-dimensional paramete...

The contact process is used as a simple spatial model in many disciplines, yet because of the buildup of spatial correlations, its dynamics remain difficult to capture analytically. We introduce an empirically based, approximate method of characterizing the spatial correlations with only a single adjustable parameter. This approximation allows us to recast the contact process in terms of a stoc...

Lithium alloys with metallic or semi-metallic elements are attractive candidate materials for the next-generation high-capacity rechargeable Li-ion battery anodes, due to their large specific and volumetric capacities. The key challenge in the application of these materials has been the very large volume changes, and the associated stress buildup and failure during insertion and extraction of l...

The buildup process of coherent structures and patterns from the composite balance between conservative dissipative effects is a universal phenomenon that occurs in various areas physics, ranging quantum mechanics to astrophysics. Dissipative solitons are highly solutions nonlinear wave equations, provide an excellent research platform for ultrafast transient phenomena. Herein, by taking advant...
