The Rashba effect in a nonmagnetic condensed-matter system is described by the reduction of point-group symmetries. The inversion, two-fold rotation, and reflection symmetries transforming the wavevector to - are identified as the origin of a degenerate state according to the time-reversal symmetry. The lack of these symmetries in a bulk system or the breaking of these in a surface system is then identified as the origin of a nondegenerate state. The surface systems Au(111), Au(110), and W(110) are assessed. The bulk system BiTeI is demonstrated for the existence of a nondegenerate state on the basis of first-principles calculations. The related issues of the heterostructure GaAs/AlGaAs and the spin Hall effect are also presented.

We experimentally determined the ground and excited state dipole moments of BMNFC (5-bromo-N'-[(Z)-(4-methoxyphenyl)methylidene]naptho[2,1-b]furan-2-carbohydrazide) dye using the solvatochromic shift method and various solvatochromic correlations, including Lippert's, Bakhshiev's, Kawski-Chamma-Viallet's, and solvent polarity equations. We employed the B3LYP/6-311G (d) level of theory to calculate the HOMO, LUMO, and MESP. In this study, we synthesized AgO nanoparticles using a quick and cost-effective chemical reduction method.

A consideration of the point group symmetry of molecules is often advantageous from a computational efficiency standpoint and sometimes necessary for the correct treatment of chemical physics problems. Many modern electronic structure software packages include a treatment of symmetry, but these are sometimes incomplete or unusable outside of that program's environment. Therefore, we have developed the MolSym package for handling molecular symmetry and its associated functionalities to provide a platform for including symmetry in the implementation and development of other methods.

Introduction: rhTSH-assisted radioiodine therapy of multinodular goiter is not fully known and only a few studies, with a limited number of patients have evaluated the effect of rhTSH assisted radioiodine therapy beyond 1 year. Though there is an effective and safe management of benign non-toxic MNG available, it is not applicable to all patient categories in Kuwait covering the impact of the past environmental events (Gulf War) and the genetic relation. The proposed project aims to address those points raised, that is exclusive to the Kuwait population.

In a solid, the electronic subsystem can exhibit incipient order with lower point group symmetry than the crystal lattice. Ultrafast external fields that couple exclusively to electronic order parameters have rarely been investigated, however, despite their potential importance in inducing exotic effects. Here we show that when inversion symmetry is broken by the antiferromagnetic order in CrO, transmitting a linearly polarized light pulse through the crystal gives rise to an in-plane rotational symmetry-breaking (from C to C) via optical rectification.
