We have investigated the α-T3 model in the presence of a mass term which opens a gap in the energy dispersive spectrum, as well as under a uniform perpendicular quantizing magnetic field. The gap opening mass term plays the role of Zeeman splitting at low magnetic fields for this pseudospin-1 system, and, as a consequence, we are able to compare physical properties of the the α-T3 model at low and high magnetic fields. Specifically, we explore the magnetoplasmon dispersion relation in these two extreme limits. Central to the calculation of these collective modes is the dielectric function which is determined by the polarizability of the system. This latter function is generated by transition energies between subband states, as well as the overlap of their wave functions.

Spin-dependent charge tunneling transport of magnetic nanocomposites under alternating current or direct current has revolutionized the understanding of the quantum-mechanical phenomenon in complex granular solids. The tunnel magnetodielectric (TMD) and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) effects are two critical functionalities in this context, where dielectric permittivity and electrical resistance, respectively, change in response to an applied magnetic field due to charge tunneling. However, the structural correlation between TMD and TMR, as well as the mechanisms, remains poorly understood, largely due to the challenges in directly characterizing nanoscale intergranular interactions.

Magnetic particle imaging noninvasively maps the distribution of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with high sensitivity. Since the particles are confined to the blood pool within the brain, it may be well-suited for cerebral blood volume (CBV)-based functional neuroimaging with MPI (fMPI). Here, we present a magnetic particle imaging system designed to detect the CBV modulation at the hemodynamic timescale (~5 sec) in rodents.

A 19-year-old female presented with intermittent claudication without anatomical abnormality in the popliteal fossa on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. However, duplex ultrasound (DUS) showed compression of the popliteal artery (PA) and vein during plantarflexion and dorsiflexion. She was diagnosed with functional PA entrapment syndrome (PAES) and underwent resection of the plantaris and gastrocnemius muscles using DUS with stress maneuvers, which relieved the symptoms.

Porous CuNi films are promising candidates for electrocatalytic water splitting, with their catalytic performance largely influenced by the crystallographic structure and chemical state. In this study, by employing a magnetic field-controlled bubble template-assisted electrodeposition method, CuNi films with a preferred Ni(111) crystal orientation were synthesized. Moreover, adjusting the magnetic field direction during deposition can affect the degree of preferred orientation and, consequently, the electrochemical activity of the films.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with functional and structural alterations beyond the nigrostriatal dopamine projection. However, the structural-functional (SC-FC) coupling changes in combination with subcortical regions at the network level are rarely investigated in PD.
Methods: SC-FC coupling networks were systematically constructed using the structural connectivity obtained by diffusion tensor imaging and the functional connectivity obtained by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging in 53 PD and 72 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs).
