Imaginary Multiplicative Chaos: Moments, Regularity And Connections To The Ising Model

In this article we study imaginary Gaussian multiplicative chaos-namely a family of random generalized functions which can formally be written as e(iX(x)), where X is a log-correlated real-valued Gaussian field on R-d, that is, it has a logarithmic singula ...

Unconventional Spin Relaxation Involving Localized Vibrational Modes in Ho Single-Atom Magnets

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Christian Wäckerlin, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

We investigate the spin relaxation of Ho single atom magnets on MgO/Ag(100) as a function of temperature and magnetic field. We find that the spin relaxation is thermally activated at low field, while it remains larger than 1000 s up to 30 K and 8 T. This ...

UV-Irradiated 2-Keto-(1-C-13)Isocaproic Acid for High-Performance C-13 Hyperpolarized MR

Andrea Capozzi, Arthur César Pinon

Enhancing the sensitivity of magnetic resonance spectroscopy/imaging (MRS/MRI) by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP) has expanded the scope of MRS applications to new fields of research. Most importantly, it has paved the way toward noninvasiv ...

Crystal field, ligand field, and interorbital effects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides across the periodic table

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exist in two polymorphs, referred to as 1T and 1H, depending on the coordination sphere of the transition metal atom. The broken octahedral and trigonal prismatic symmetries lead to different cry ...

Simulation of microoptics under inhomogeneous illumination: Sinusoidal Phase Grating under Gaussian Beam Illumination

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi

Far field pattern generation is investigated for thick sinusoidal phase grating under a Gaussian beam illumination to obtain a high field of view. We compare the Fraunhofer approximation with the High-NA propagator and demonstrate that the Fraunhofer appro ...

Magnetic ground state of the frustrated spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeVO4 at high magnetic fields

Helmuth Berger, Jonathan White

Frustrated spin-1/2 chains, despite the apparent simplicity, exhibit a remarkably rich phase diagram comprising vector-chiral (VC), spin-density-wave (SDW), and multipolar/spin-nematic phases as a function of the magnetic field. Here we report a study of b ...

High-Field C-13 Dynamic Nuclear Polarization in Nanodiamond

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Jérémy Genoud, Serguei Sekatski, Murari Soundararajan, Dongyoung Yoon

Hyperpolarization in diamond via dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has attracted a lot of interest for various applications as diamond exhibits extremely long C-13 spin relaxation times and has endogenous polarizing agents in the form of crystalline defec ...

Walking, weak first-order transitions, and complex CFTs

Victor Gorbenko, Bernardo Zan

We discuss walking behavior in gauge theories and weak first-order phase transitions in statistical physics. Despite appearing in very different systems (QCD below the conformal window, the Potts model, deconfined criticality) these two phenomena both impl ...
