Ultrafast perturbation of magnetic domains by optical pumping in a ferromagnetic multilayer

Author(s)
Dmitriy Zusin, Ezio E. Iacocca, Loic Le Guyader, Alexander H. Reid, William Schlotter, TianMin Liu, Daniel Higley, Giacomo Coslovich, Scott F. Wandel, Phoebe Tengdin, Sheena K. Patel, Anatoly Shabalin, Nelson Hua, Stjepan Hrkac, Hans Nembach, Justin Shaw, Sergio Montoya, Adam Blonsky, Christian Gentry, Mark Hoefer, Margaret M. Murnane, Henry C. Kapteyn, Eric E. Fullerton, Oleg Shpyrko, Hermann Durr, Thomas J. Silva
Ultrafast optical pumping of spatially nonuniform magnetic textures is known to induce far-from-equilibrium spin transport effects. Here, we use ultrafast x-ray

Semi-automated assembly of high-quality diploid human reference genomes

Author(s)
Erich Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, Jennifer McDaniel, Nathanael David Olson, Justin Wagner, Justin Zook, Kerstin Howe, Karen Miga
The current human reference genome, GRCh38, represents over 20 years of effort to generate a high-quality assembly, which has benefitted society. However, it

Circular Economy in a High-Tech World

Author(s)
Kelsea Schumacher, Martin L. Green
The proliferation of electronics, batteries, and solar panels in recent decades has resulted in a substantial generation of end-of-life (EoL) "high-tech"

On the "intrinsic" breakdown of thick gate oxide

Author(s)
Kin (Charles) Cheung
Thick gate oxide breakdown mechanism becomes an important topic again due to the rising demand of power electronics. The failure of the percolation model in

Unravelled and Glassy Magnetism in PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3 - (2) Neutron Scattering

Author(s)
C. Stock, B. Roessli, Peter M. Gehring, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, N. Giles-Donovan, S. Cochran, Guangyong Xu, P. Manuel, M. J. Gutmann, William D. Ratcliff, T. Fennell, Y. Su, X. Li, H. Luo
We apply neutron scattering to investigate the magnetism in the relaxor ferroelectric PbFe 1/2Nb 1/2O 3 (PFN). Similar to the lack of spatially long-range

Bi12O17Cl2 with a Sextuple Bi-O Layer Composed of Rock-Salt and Fluorite Units and its Structural Conversion through Fluorination to Enhance Photocatalytic Activity

Daichi Kato, Osamu Tomita, Ryky Nelson, Maria A. Kirsanova, Richard Dronskowski, Hajime Suzuki, Chengchao Zhong, Cedric Tassel, Kohdai Ishida, Yosuke Matsuzaki, Craig Brown, Koji Fujita, Kotaro Fujii, Masatomo Yashima, Yoji Kobayashi, Akinori Saeki, Itaru Oikawa, Hitoshi Takamura, Ryu Abe, Hiroshi Kageyama, Tatiana E. Gorelik, Artem M. Abakumov
Layered bismuth oxyhalides with bilayered (Bi 2O 2) fluorite slabs are promising visible-light photocatalysts because of the ability to control the valence band

Glycosylation and the global virome

Author(s)
Cassandra Pegg, Benjamin Schulz, Ben Neely, Gregory Albery, Colin Carlson
The sugars that coat the outsides of viruses and host cells are key to successful disease transmission, but they remain understudied compared to other molecular
