Symmetry and spin dephasing in (110)-grown GaAs quantum wells (QWs) are investigated applying magnetic field induced photogalvanic effect and time-resolved Kerr rotation. We show that magnetic field induced photogalvanic effect provides a tool to probe the symmetry of (110)-grown quantum wells. The photocurrent is only observed for asymmetric structures but vanishes for symmetric QWs. Applying Kerr rotation we prove that in the latter case the spin relaxation time is maximal; therefore, these structures set the upper limit of spin dephasing in GaAs QWs. We also demonstrate that structure inversion asymmetry can be controllably tuned to zero by variation of delta-doping layer positions.

Purpose: To quantify T relaxation in the brain at 3 T and 7 T to study its field dependence and correlation with iron content, and to investigate whether iron can be separated from other sources of T relaxation based on this field dependence.
Methods: Nine subjects were scanned at both field strengths with the same acquisition technique, which used multiple gradient-echo sampling of a spin echo. This allowed for separation of T relaxation from static dephasing by B field inhomogeneities and the effects of radiofrequency refocusing imperfections.

Exciton-polariton condensates, due to their nonlinear and coherent characteristics, have been employed to construct spin Hamiltonian lattices for potentially studying spin glass, critical dephasing, and even solving optimization problems. Here, we report the room-temperature polariton condensation and polaritonic soft-spin XY Hamiltonian lattices in an organic-inorganic halide perovskite microcavity. This is achieved through the direct integration of high-quality single-crystal samples within the cavity.

Purpose: To develop and validate a 3D turbo spin-echo (TSE)-compatible approach to enhancing black-blood (BB) effects while preserving T weighting and overall SNR.
Methods: Following the excitation RF pulse, a 180° RF pulse sandwiched by a pair of flow-sensitive dephasing (FSD) gradient pulses in the phase- (y) and partition-encoding (z) directions, respectively, is added. The polarity of FSD gradients in z direction is toggled every TR, achieving an interleaved FSD (iFSD) configuration in y-z plane.

We present femtosecond pump-probe measurements of neutral and charged exciton optical response in monolayer MoSe to resonant photoexcitation of a given exciton state in the presence of 2D electron gas. We show that creation of charged exciton (X) population in a given K, K valley requires the capture of available free carriers in the opposite valley and reduces the interaction of neutral exciton (X) with the electron Fermi sea. We also observe spectral broadening of the X transition line with the increasing X population caused by efficient scattering and excitation induced dephasing.

Ergotropy is defined as the maximum amount of work that can be extracted through a unitary cyclic evolution. It plays a crucial role in assessing the work capacity of a quantum system. Recently, the significance of quantum coherence in work extraction has been theoretically identified, revealing that quantum states with more coherence possess more ergotropy compared to their dephased counterparts.
