AI Article Synopsis

  • The generating functional for slow dynamics in spin-glass systems remains unchanged under different time reparametrizations, which applies to both infinite and short-range models.
  • This invariance arises from the existence of separate short and long time scales in the system alongside principles of causality and unitarity.
  • The concept of global-time reparametrization suggests that the low action excitations in spin-glasses could have smooth spatial variations, potentially leading to a new analytical framework for understanding short-range spin glasses.

Article Abstract

We show that the generating functional describing the slow dynamics of spin-glass systems is invariant under reparametrizations of the time. This result is general and applies for both infinite and short-range models. It follows simply from the assumption that a separation between short time scales and long time scales exists in the system, and from the constraints of causality and unitarity. Global-time reparametrization invariance suggests that the low action excitations in a spin-glass may be smoothly spatially varying time reparametrizations. These Goldstone modes may provide the basis for an analytic dynamical theory of short-range spin glasses.

Article Synopsis
  • Hyperacute cardiac CT is more effective than transthoracic echocardiography in detecting intracardiac thrombus, but its routine use is limited due to costs and risks.
  • A study of 1,136 ischemic stroke or TIA patients found that longer arterial input function (AIF) dispersal times correlate with the presence of thrombus and worse outcomes, with a specific cutoff of 33 seconds indicating higher risk.
  • The findings support using AIF dispersal measurements to help identify patients who may benefit from cardiac imaging, potentially optimizing resource use in stroke management.

Decoupling Carrier Dynamics and Energy Transport in Ultrafast Near-Field Nanoscopy.

Nano Lett

January 2025

Laser Thermal Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, United States.

Ultrafast near-field optical nanoscopy has emerged as a powerful platform to characterize low-dimensional materials. While analytical and numerical models have been established to account for photoexcited carrier dynamics, quantitative evaluation of the associated pulsed laser heating remains elusive. Here, we decouple the photocarrier density and temperature increase in near-field nanoscopy by integrating the two-temperature model (TTM) with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations.

Ultrafast Laser-Induced Spin Dynamics in All-Semiconductor Ferromagnetic CrSBr-Phosphorene Heterostructures.

J Phys Chem Lett

School of Physics, State Key Laboratory of Electronic Thin Films and Integrated Devices, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China.

Ultrashort laser pulses are extensively used for efficient manipulation of interfacial spin injection in two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. However, physical processes accompanying the photoinduced spin transfer dynamics on the all-semiconductor ferromagnetic vdW heterostructure remain largely unexplored. Here, we present a computational investigation of the femtosecond laser pulse induced purely electron-mediated spin transfer dynamics at a time scale of less than 50 fs in a vdW heterostructure.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to gauge the impacts of cognitive empathy training experiential learning on traumatic brain injury (TBI) knowledge, awareness, confidence, and empathy in a pilot study of speech-language pathology graduate students.

Method: A descriptive quasi-experimental convergent parallel mixed methods design intervention pilot study (QUAL + QUANT) was conducted with a diverse convenience sample of 19 first- and second-year speech-language pathology graduate students who engaged in a half-day TBI point-of-view simulation. The simulation was co-constructed through a participatory design with those living with TBI based on Kolb's experiential learning model and followed the recommendations for point-of-view simulation ethics.

Unraveling the Meaning of Effective Uptake Coefficients in Multiphase and Aerosol Chemistry.

Acc Chem Res

Chemical Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720, United States.

ConspectusReactions of gas phase molecules with surfaces play key roles in atmospheric and environmental chemistry. Reactive uptake coefficients (γ), the fraction of gas-surface collisions that yield a reaction, are used to quantify the kinetics in these heterogeneous and multiphase systems. Unlike rate coefficients for homogeneous gas- or liquid-phase reactions, uptake coefficients are system- and observation-dependent quantities that depend upon a multitude of underlying elementary steps.
