Background & Aims: Poorly digested, fermentable carbohydrates may induce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), via unclear mechanisms. We performed a randomized trial with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis to investigate correlations be...

Negative activation energy and dielectric signatures of excitons and excitonic Mott transitions in quantum confined laser structures (2016)
Journal Article
Bhunia, A., Bansal, K., Henini, M., Alshammari, M., & Datta, S. (in press). Negative activation energy and dielectric signatures of excitons and excitonic Mott transitions in quantum confined laser structures. Journal of Applied Physics, 120, Article 144304. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4964850

Mostly, optical spectroscopies are used to investigate the physics of excitons, whereas their electrical evidences are hardly explored. Here, we examined a forward bias activated differential capacitance response of GaInP/AlGaInP based multi-quantum...

Prospects of charged-oscillator quantum-state generation with Rydberg atoms (2016)
Journal Article
Stevenson, R., Minář, J., Hofferberth, S., & Lesanovsky, I. (2016). Prospects of charged-oscillator quantum-state generation with Rydberg atoms. Physical Review A, 94, Article 043813. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.94.043813

We explore the possibility of engineering quantum states of a charged mechanical oscillator by coupling it to a stream of atoms in superpositions of high-lying Rydberg states. Our scheme relies on the driving of a two-phonon resonance within the osci... Read More about Prospects of charged-oscillator quantum-state generation with Rydberg atoms.

Developing Mn-doped lead sulfide quantum dots for MRI labels (2016)
Journal Article
Turyanska, L., Moro, F., Patanè, A., Barr, J., Köckenberger, W., Taylor, A., …Thomas, N. R. (2016). Developing Mn-doped lead sulfide quantum dots for MRI labels. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 4(42), 6797-6802. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6tb02574a

Magnetic interactions of Mn2+ions in lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals with protons in water are probed by NMR and MRI. A thin layer of capping molecules enables free solvent diffusion to the nanocrystal surface resulting in a decrease of proton relaxa...
