In magnetically ordered insulators, elementary quasiparticles manifest as spin waves - collective motions of localized magnetic moments that propagate through the lattice - observed via inelastic neutron scattering. In effective spin- 1/2 systems where

Mechanical Metallurgy on Columbia Gas X100 Experimental Pipe

August 28, 2024
Author(s)
Dash Weeks, Ryan White, Jake Benzing, Enrico Lucon, Nicholas Derimow, Ashley Kroon, Robert Smith
This study evaluates the material properties of an X100 pipeline steel extracted from an experimental transmission pipeline section placed into service in the 1960s. The purpose is to compare these properties with current X100 steel standards

Multifaceted Neuroimaging Data Integration via Analysis of Subspaces

August 28, 2024
Author(s)
Andrew Ackerman, Zhengwu Zhang, Jan Hannig, Jack Prothero, J.S. Marron
Neuroimaging studies, such as the Human Connectome Project (HCP), often collect multifaceted and multi-block data to study the complex human brain. However, these data are often analyzed in a pairwise fashion, which can hinder our understanding of how

Wafer-scale fabrication of evacuated alkali vapor cells

August 28, 2024
Author(s)
Yang Li, Matthew Hummon, Susan Schima, John Kitching, DONGGYU SOHN
We describe a process for fabricating a wafer-scale array of alkali metal vapor cells with low residual gas pressure. We show that by etching long, thin channels between the cells on the Si wafer surface, the residual gas pressure in the evacuated vapor
