Phononic modulation of spin-lattice relaxation in molecular qubit frameworks.

The solid-state integration of molecular electron spin qubits could promote the advancement of molecular quantum information science. With highly ordered structures and rational designability, microporous framework materials offer ideal matrices to host qubits. They exhibit tunable phonon dispersion relations and spin distributions, enabling optimization of essential qubit properties including the spin-lattice relaxation time (T) and decoherence time.

Comparing the efficacy of different types of exercise for the treatment and prevention of depression in youths: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Purpose: Depression disorder is the most commonly diagnosed type of mental illness among youths. Although a plethora of evidence suggests a positive relationship between exercise and lower levels of depression in youths, the findings regarding the variation in magnitude of this relationship are inconclusive with respect to the preventive and therapeutic effects of different types of exercise. This network meta-analysis aimed to determine the best type of exercise for the treatment and prevention of depression in youths.

Tailored Cl Ligation on Supported Pt Catalysts for Selective Primary C-H Bond Oxidation.

It is challenging to achieve high selectivity over Pt-metal-oxide catalysts widely used in many selective oxidation reactions because Pt is prone to over-oxidize substrates. Herein, our sound strategy for enhancing the selectivity is to saturate the under-coordinated single Pt atoms with Cl ligands. In this system, the weak electronic metal-support interactions between Pt atoms and reduced TiO cause electron extraction from Pt to Cl ligands, resulting in strong Pt-Cl bonds.

Broadband electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer from 1 to 15 GHz using metallic coplanar waveguide.

We report a broadband electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer that operates continuously in the frequency range from 1 to 15 GHz. A broadband metallic coplanar waveguide is utilized as the probe. The system is capable of performing EPR measurements in both continuous wave and pulsed modes.

An X-band pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer with time resolution improved by a field-programmable-gate-array based pulse generator.

We report an X-band pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer using a Field-Programmable-Gate-Array (FPGA) based pulse generator. The microwave (MW) pulse length and pulse-pulse interval can be adjusted with 50 ps time resolution. A FPGA based pulse generator is utilized to achieve such time resolution.

Ultra-broadband coplanar waveguide for optically detected magnetic resonance of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond.

We report on coplanar waveguides (CPWs) designed for optically detected magnetic resonance of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds. A broad band up to 15.8 GHz has been realized, which ensures that the electron spins can be manipulated under external magnetic fields up to 5000 G.
