The intrinsic spins and their correlations are the least understood characteristics of fission fragments from both theoretical and experimental points of view. In many nuclear reactions, the emerging fragments are typically excited and acquire an intrinsic excitation energy and an intrinsic spin depending on the type of the reactions and interaction mechanism. Both the intrinsic excitation energies and the fragments' intrinsic spins and parities are controlled by the interaction mechanism and conservations laws, which lead to their correlations and determines the character of their deexcitation mechanism. We outline here a framework for the theoretical extraction of the intrinsic spin distributions of the fragments and their correlations within the fully microscopic real-time density-functional theory formalism and illustrate it on the example of induced fission of ^{236}U and ^{240}Pu, using two nuclear energy density functionals. These fission fragment intrinsic spin distributions display new qualitative features previously not discussed in literature. Within this fully microscopic framework, we extract for the first time the intrinsic spin distributions of fission fragments of ^{236}U and ^{240}Pu as well as the correlations of their intrinsic spins, which have been debated in literature for more than six decades with no definite conclusions so far.

Abnormal chirality in antiferromagnetic resonance modes of van der Waals 2D magnets.

Two-dimensional van der Waals (2D vdW) materials have attracted widespread research interest due to their unique physical properties and potential application prospects. In this study, an atomistic-level dynamical simulation method is employed to investigate the chirality of antiferromagnetic resonance modes in CrI bilayer. Beyond the typical observations of a linear increase in high-frequency resonance mode and a linear decrease in low-frequency resonance mode, we have identified a distinct magnetization precession chirality in the CrI bilayer at low magnetic fields: Spins in different layers exhibit opposite precession chirality.

While H-H J-couplings are the cornerstone of all spectral assignment methods in solution-state NMR, they are yet to be observed in solids. Here we observe H-H J-couplings in plastic crystals of (1S)-(-)-camphor in solid-state NMR at magic angle spinning (MAS) rates of 100 kHz and above. This is enabled in this special case because the intrinsic coherence lifetimes at fast MAS rates become longer than the inverse of the H-H J couplings.

MnSn(= rare-earth) kagome magnets have been one of the research focuses in condensed matter physics, primarily due to their exotic physical properties rooted in the interplay between magnetism and nontrivial topological band structures. We reported herein the crystal growth of Cr substituted DyMnCrSnand investigations on their magnetotransport properties. It is unveiled that the Mn kagome layer is destroyed and the in-plane ferromagnetic exchange is consequently weakened by the substituted nonmagnetic Cr.

We derive the radial action of a spinning probe particle in Kerr spacetime from the worldline formalism in the first-order form, focusing on linear in spin effects. We then develop a novel covariant Dirac bracket formalism to compute the impulse and the spin kick directly from the radial action, generalizing some conjectural results in the literature and providing ready-to-use expressions for amplitude calculations with generic spin orientations. This allows, for the first time, to find new covariant expressions for scattering observables in the probe limit up to O(G^{6}s_{1}s_{2}^{4}).

Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskites carrying strong spin-orbital coupling (SOC) have demonstrated remarkable light-emitting properties in spontaneous emission, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), and circularly-polarized luminescence (CPL). Experimental studies have shown that SOC plays an important role in controlling the light-emitting properties in such hybrid perovskites. Here, the SOC consists of both orbital (L) and spin (S) momentum, leading to the formation of J (= L + S) excitons intrinsically involving orbital and spin momentum.
