In this study, we have measured the thermodiffusion coefficients of six hydrocarbon liquid ternary mixtures at 25 degrees C using the thermogravitational technique. Mixtures of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-isobutylbenzene-n-dodecane at four different concentrations and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-isobutylbenzene-n-decane at two concentrations have been considered. We have used a plane-thermogravitational column with a small gap dimension to improve the accuracy of the recently reported data. The obtained results have been confirmed by measurements in a cylindrical column. We have also measured the thermodiffusion coefficients of 13 binary mixtures between the different components of ternaries in order to analyze the validity of the additive rule proposed in the literature to determine thermodiffusion coefficients of ternary mixtures from binary thermodiffusion data. A new correlation based on column separation, which reproduces the data within the experimental error, is proposed.

Spin Drag Mechanism of Giant Thermal Magnetoresistance.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

Department of Physics, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA.

We study hydrodynamic thermal transport in high-mobility two-dimensional electron systems placed in an in-plane magnetic field and identify a new mechanism of thermal magnetotransport. This mechanism is caused by drag between the electron populations with opposite spin polarization, which arises in the presence of a hydrodynamic flow of heat. In high mobility systems, spin drag results in strong thermal magnetoresistance, which becomes of the order of 100% at relatively small spin polarization of the electron liquid.

Electride transition in liquid aluminum under high pressure and high temperature.

Key Laboratory of Efficient Low-carbon Energy Conversion and Utilization of Jiangsu Provincial Higher Education Institutions, School of Physical Science and Technology, Suzhou University of Science and Technology, Suzhou 215009, China.

Despite the conventional view of liquid aluminum (l-Al) as a simple metal governed by the free-electron model, it exhibits unique bonding characteristics. This study uncovers a gradual transition from free electron to electride behavior in l-Al at high pressure and temperature, forming a type of two-component liquid where atomic and electride states coexist. The proportion of electride increases with pressure and temperature until reaching saturation, leading to notable changes in the pair-correlation function and coordination number of l-Al at saturation pressure.

Background: It is a technical challenge to monitor ablation outcome during magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment using non-gadolinium technique. The study aimed to investigate the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for immediately assessing nonperfused area of adenomyosis after MRgFUS treatment.

Methods: We retrospectively included patients with adenomyosis who underwent MRgFUS ablation and underwent both DWI (b=800 sec/mm) and contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging within 15 minutes after treatment.

Hyperballistic transport in dense systems of charged particles under ac electric fields.

Phys Rev E

November 2024

Department of Physics "A. Pontremoli, " University of Milan, via Celoria 16, 20133 Milan, Italy.

The Langevin equation is ubiquitously employed to numerically simulate plasmas, colloids, and electrolytes. However, the usual assumption of white noise becomes untenable when the system is subject to an external ac electric field. This is because the charged particles in the system, which provide the thermal bath for the particle transport, become themselves responsive to the ac field and the thermal noise is field dependent and non-Markovian.

Reducing the thermal conductivity while maintaining excellent electrical transport properties is crucial for enhancing the thermoelectric performance of SrTiO-based perovskites. Here, we successfully achieved this goal through precisely manipulating the configurational entropy. A series of CaNdSr BaTiO ( = 0, 0.
