General, Strong Impurity-Strength Dependence of Quasiparticle Interference
Quasiparticle interference (QPI) patterns in momentum space are often assumed
to be independent of the strength of the impurity potential when compared with
other quantities, such as the joint density of states. Here, using the
-matrix theory, we show that this assumption breaks down completely even in
the simplest case of a single-site impurity on the square lattice with an
orbital per site. Then, we predict from first-principles, a very rich,
impurity-strength-dependent structure in the QPI pattern of TaAs, an archetype
Weyl semimetal. This study thus demonstrates that the consideration of the
details of the scattering impurity including the impurity strength is essential
for interpreting Fourier-transform scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments
in general.Comment: main manuscript: 8 pages, 6 figures, Supplementary Information: 3

High-fidelity 3D Human Digitization from Single 2K Resolution Images
High-quality 3D human body reconstruction requires high-fidelity and
large-scale training data and appropriate network design that effectively
exploits the high-resolution input images. To tackle these problems, we propose
a simple yet effective 3D human digitization method called 2K2K, which
constructs a large-scale 2K human dataset and infers 3D human models from 2K
resolution images. The proposed method separately recovers the global shape of
a human and its details. The low-resolution depth network predicts the global
structure from a low-resolution image, and the part-wise image-to-normal
network predicts the details of the 3D human body structure. The
high-resolution depth network merges the global 3D shape and the detailed
structures to infer the high-resolution front and back side depth maps.
Finally, an off-the-shelf mesh generator reconstructs the full 3D human model,
which are available at https://github.com/SangHunHan92/2K2K. In addition, we
also provide 2,050 3D human models, including texture maps, 3D joints, and SMPL
parameters for research purposes. In experiments, we demonstrate competitive
performance over the recent works on various datasets.Comment: code page : https://github.com/SangHunHan92/2K2K, Accepted to CVPR

One-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride conducting channel
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is an insulating two-dimensional (2D) material with a large bandgap. Although known for its interfacing with other 2D materials and structural similarities to graphene, the potential use of hBN in 2D electronics is limited by its insulating nature. Here, we report atomically sharp twin boundaries at AA???/AB stacking boundaries in chemical vapor deposition???synthesized few-layer hBN. We find that the twin boundary is composed of a 6???6??? configuration, showing conducting feature with a zero bandgap. Furthermore, the formation mechanism of the atomically sharp twin boundaries is suggested by an analogy with stacking combinations of AA???/AB based on the observations of extended Klein edges at the layer boundaries of ABstacked hBN. The atomically sharp AA???/AB stacking boundary is promising as an ultimate 1D electron channel embedded in insulating pristine hBN. This study will provide insights into the fabrication of single-hBN electronic devices
MulGuisin, a Topological Network Finder and its Performance on Galaxy Clustering
We introduce a new clustering algorithm, MulGuisin (MGS), that can identify
distinct galaxy over-densities using topological information from the galaxy
distribution. This algorithm was first introduced in an LHC experiment as a Jet
Finder software, which looks for particles that clump together in close
proximity. The algorithm preferentially considers particles with high energies
and merges them only when they are closer than a certain distance to create a
jet. MGS shares some similarities with the minimum spanning tree (MST) since it
provides both clustering and network-based topology information. Also, similar
to the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN),
MGS uses the ranking or the local density of each particle to construct
clustering. In this paper, we compare the performances of clustering algorithms
using controlled data and some realistic simulation data as well as the SDSS
observation data, and we demonstrate that our new algorithm find networks most
efficiently and it defines galaxy networks in a way that most closely resembles
human vision.Comment: 15 pages,12 figure
