The effect of pressure-anisotropy-driven kinetic instabilities on magnetic field amplification in galaxy clusters

Yoan Rappaz

Context. The intracluster medium (ICM) is the low-density diffuse gas that fills the space between galaxies within galaxy clusters. It is primarily composed of magnetized plasma, which reaches virial temperatures of up to 10(8) K, probably due to mergers o ...

Orthologic with Axioms

Viktor Kuncak, Simon Guilloud

We study the proof theory and algorithms for orthologic, a logical system based on ortholattices, which have shown practical relevance in simplification and normalization of verification conditions. Ortholattices weaken Boolean algebras while having po ...

Terahertz emission from diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers

László Forró, Ferenc Simon, Bence Gábor Márkus, Sándor Kollarics

Coherent light sources emitting in the terahertz range are highly sought after for fundamental research and applications. Terahertz lasers rely on achieving population inversion. We demonstrate the generation of terahertz radiation using nitrogen-vacancy c ...

Anomalous‐Chern Steering of Topological Nonreciprocal Guided Waves

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Haoye Qin, Zhechen Zhang, Qiaolu Chen

Nonreciprocal topological edge states based on external magnetic bias have been regarded as the last resort for genuine unidirectional wave transport, showing superior robustness over topological states with preserved time-reversal symmetry. However, fast ...

SC-TPTP: An Extension of the TPTP Derivation Format for Sequent-Based Calculus

Simon Guilloud

Motivated by the transfer of proofs between proof systems, and in particular from first order automated theorem provers (ATPs) to interactive theorem provers (ITPs), we specify an extension of the TPTP derivation text format to describe proofs in first-ord ...

Memristive Control of Plasmon-Mediated Nonlinear Photoluminescence in Au Nanowires

Konstantin Malchow

Nonlinear photoluminescence (N-PL) is a broadband photon emission arising from a nonequilibrium heated electron distribution generated at the surface of metallic nanostructures by ultrafast pulsed laser illumination. N-PL is sensitive to surface morphology ...

Global fluid simulation of plasma turbulence in stellarators with the GBS code

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

The implementation of three-dimensional magnetic fields, such as the ones of stellarators, in the GBS code (Ricci et al 2012 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion54 124047; Giacomin et al 2022 J. Comput. Phys.464 111294) is presented, and simulation results are dis ...

A novel fatigue life prediction methodology based on energy dissipation in viscoelastic materials, synergistic effects of stress level, stress ratio, and temperature

Thomas Keller, Lulu Liu, Abdolvahid Movahedirad

This work introduces a new methodology to predict the fatigue life of viscoelastic materials by considering the creep effect on fatigue behavior under the concurrent effects of stress level, stress ratio, and temperature. The model established based on the ...

Benign termination of runaway electron beams on ASDEX Upgrade and TCV

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Joan Decker, Umar Sheikh, Claudia Colandrea, Luke Simons, Jean Arthur Cazabonne, Bernhard Sieglin, Gergely Papp

This paper discusses the development of a benign termination scenario for runaway electron (RE) beams on ASDEX Upgrade and TCV. A systematic study revealed that a low electron density (n e) companion plasma was required to achieve a large MHD instability, ...

Pyroresistive response of percolating conductive polymer composites

Claudio Grimaldi

The pyroresistive response of conductive polymer composites (CPCs) has attracted much interest because of its potential applications in many electronic devices requiring a significant responsiveness to changes in external physical parameters such as temper ...
