The effect of intramolecular relaxations on the damping of longitudinal and transverse phonons was studied in poly(methylphenylsiloxane) (PMPS) and poly(ethylmethylsiloxane) (PEMS) polymers by means of Brillouin spectroscopy. It is shown that studies of the polarized and depolarized Brillouin spectra as functions of temperature and pressure allow for the separation of the contributions of the internal and structural relaxations to the damping of longitudinal and transverse phonons, respectively. In polymers with intramolecular relaxations these processes contribute not only to the damping of longitudinal phonons, according to theoretical predictions, but also transverse phonons, in contradiction to the theory.

The behavior of triple-cation mixed halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) under ultrashort laser pulse irradiation at varying fluences is investigated, with a focus on local heating effects observed in femtosecond transient absorption (TA) studies. The carrier cooling time constant is found to increase from 230 fs at 2 µJ cm⁻ to 1.3 ps at 2 mJ cm⁻ while the charge population decay accelerates from tens of nanoseconds to the picosecond range within the same fluence range.

Objective: A novel approach to 3-dimensional morphometry of the thoracic aorta was developed by applying centerline analysis based on least-squares plane fitting, and a preliminary study was conducted using computed tomography imaging data.
Methods: We retrospectively compared 3 groups of patients (16 controls without aortic disease, and 16 cases each with acute type B aortic dissection and congenital bicuspid aortic valve). In addition to the standard assessment indices for curvature κ and torsion τ, we conducted coordinate transformation based on the least-squares plane, divided the centerline into 3 representative features (transverse, anterior-posterior, and longitudinal displacements), and analyzed the overall and local displacement in each direction.

The combination of reversible angular dispersion-induced microbunching (ADM) and the rapid damping storage ring provides a storage-ring-based light source with the capability to produce longitudinal coherent radiation with a high repetition rate. This paper presents a prototype design for a test facility based on the study by Jiang et al. [Sci.

Using a recent polarizable model for water (the BK3 model), we explore the collective dynamic modes in liquid water by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The dynamic structure factor and the longitudinal and transverse current correlation spectral densities are computed over the whole frequency range below intramolecular excitations. MD results of atom-atom partial correlation functions are fitted using the Generalized Collective Modes (GCMs) model, involving relaxing modes occurring in the longitudinal component and propagating modes occurring in both components.

Metal halide perovskite materials (MHPs) are promising for several applications due to their exceptional properties. Understanding excitonic properties is essential for exploiting these materials. For this purpose, we focus on CsPbBr3 single crystals, which have higher crystal quality, are more stable, and have no Rashba effect at low temperatures compared to other 3D MHPs.
