AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates sinusoidal wave-type distortions in LaSrMnO during its low-temperature orthorhombic phase using a technique called multi-beam resonant X-ray diffraction (MRXD).
  • Two types of four-beam diffractions with different asymmetries were analyzed at a specific energy level (6.5545 keV) and compared to theoretical simulations based on dynamical X-ray diffraction.
  • The results highlight how MRXD can effectively reveal distortion modes that are related to the material's structure and demonstrate its sensitivity to changes in X-ray energy, particularly around the Mn K edge, which supports findings of charge differences between manganese sites.

Article Abstract

Sinusoidal wave type distortions of LaSrMnO in the low-temperature orthorhombic phase were observed using multi-beam resonant X-ray diffraction (MRXD) with (7/4 7/4 0) fractional primary diffraction. Two four-beam diffractions with opposite asymmetry were measured at 6.5545 keV and compared with the curves simulated by the dynamical X-ray diffraction theory. This approach provides the possibility of resolving the distortion modes which are perpendicular to the momentum transfer by a single azimuthal scan. The paper also demonstrates the sensitivity of MRXD profiles versus incident X-ray energy in the vicinity of the Mn K edge to the charge disproportion between the two manganese sites, reconfirming the small charge disproportion feature.

Background: Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is the gold standard for noninvasive arterial stiffness assessment, an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, and a potential parameter to guide therapy. However, cfPWV is not routinely measured in clinical practice due to the unavailability of a low-cost, operator-friendly, and independent device. The current study validated a novel laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV)-based measurement of cfPWV against the reference technique.

StayGold is a bright fluorescent protein (FP) that is over one order of magnitude more photostable than any of the currently available FPs across the full range of illumination intensities used in widefield microscopy and structured illumination microscopy, the latter of which is a widefield illumination-based technique. To compare the photostability of StayGold under other illumination modes with that of three other green-emitting FPs, namely EGFP, mClover3, and mNeonGreen, we expressed all four FPs as fusions to histone 2B in HeLa cells. Unlike the case of widefield microscopy, the photobleaching behavior of these FPs in laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) is complicated.

Fixed frequency beam-scanning leaky-wave antennas have been a focus of attention for many scholars in recent years, and numerous related results have been obtained. However, these antennas suffer from several issues such as small beam-scanning range, low gain, and unsatisfactory impedance matching. To address these problems, this paper proposes a microstrip line (ML) antenna unit based on liquid crystal (LC) materials etched Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR).

Laser-acoustic detection of buried objects, such as landmines, uses elastic waves in the ground and a laser vibrometer to create a vibration image of the ground surface. A decision on the presence of a buried object is made by analyzing vibration images for multiple vibration frequencies. With traditionally used laser Doppler vibrometers, the vibration imaging data are saved to a computer memory to be analyzed, which increases the detection time.

The possibility of using a line-scan digital CMOS camera as a photodetector in a multi-beam heterodyne differential laser Doppler vibration sensor has been investigated. Application of the line-scan CMOS camera allows for selection of a different number of beams for a particular application in the sensor design, and for a compact design of the sensor. It was demonstrated that a limitation of the maximum measured velocity caused by the camera limited line rate can be overcome by selecting the beams separation on the object and the value of shear between images on the camera.
