Superconductive Tendencies of Strange Metals
(2023)Motivated by recent ARPES experiments on strange metals, we implement those measurements to the standard condensed-matter theory. Considering that the best description is found to be a nodal self-energy similar to that of ... -
Oceanic and Atmospheric Controls on Decadal Ice Shelf Basal Melt Variability around the Amundsen Sea
(2023)Warm ocean waters are driving the rapid ice loss around the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica. Decadal variability in melt and on-shelf heat transport is thought to be controlled by zonal shelf break winds and Pacific sea surface ... -
