The Landau spectrum of bismuth is complex and includes many angle-dependent lines in the extreme quantum limit. The adequacy of single-particle theory to describe this spectrum in detail has been an open issue. Here, we present a study of angle-resolved Nernst effect in bismuth, which maps the angle-resolved Landau spectrum for the entire solid angle up to 28 T. The experimental map is in good agreement with the results of a theoretical model with parabolic dispersion for holes and an extended Dirac Hamiltonian for electrons. The angular dependence of additional lines in the Landau spectrum allows us to uncover the mystery of their origin. They correspond to the lines expected for the hole Landau levels in a secondary crystal tilted by 108°, the angle between twinned crystals in bismuth. According to our results, the electron reservoirs of the two identical tilted crystals have different chemical potentials, and carriers across the twin boundary have different concentrations. An exceptional feature of this junction is that it separates two electron-hole compensated reservoirs. The link between this edge singularity and the states wrapping a three-dimensional electron gas in the quantum limit emerges as an outstanding open question.
African trypanosomiasis is a widespread disease of human and veterinary importance caused by various with a globally devastating impact and a need for novel treatment options. We here provide a comprehensive preclinical evaluation of nucleoside analogues, 6-thioether-modified tubercidins, with curative activity against African trypanosomiasis. Promising hits were identified following screening against the most relevant trypanosome species.
Direct numerical simulation of three-dimensional acoustic turbulence has been performed for both weak and strong regimes. Within the weak turbulence, we demonstrate the existence of the Zakharov-Sagdeev spectrum ∝k^{-3/2} not only for weak dispersion but in the nondispersion (ND) case as well. Such spectra in the k space are accompanied by jets in the form of narrow cones.
The discovery of fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) in twisted bilayer MoTe_{2} has sparked significant interest in fractional topological matter without external magnetic fields. Unlike the flat dispersion of Landau levels, moiré electronic states are influenced by lattice effects within a nanometer-scale superlattice. This Letter examines the impact of these lattice effects on the topological phases in twisted bilayer MoTe_{2}, uncovering a family of FCIs with Abelian anyonic quasiparticles.
Recurrent cystitis in women represents an everyday challenge; however, little to no data regarding this population are available. This study aimed to evaluate this collective with respect to a rational calculated antibiotic therapy. Urine cultures and antibiograms from a urological office were retrospectively evaluated from patient data collected between January 2017 and June 2019.
Single-cell sequencing has characterized cell state heterogeneity across diverse healthy and malignant tissues. However, the plasticity or heritability of these cell states remains largely unknown. To address this, we introduce PATH (phylogenetic analysis of trait heritability), a framework to quantify cell state heritability versus plasticity and infer cell state transition and proliferation dynamics from single-cell lineage tracing data.
