Strain-restricted transfer of ferromagnetic electrodes for constructing reproducibly superior-quality spintronic devices (2014)
Journal Article

Spintronic device is the fundamental platform for spin-related academic and practical studies. However, conventional techniques with energetic deposition or boorish transfer of ferromagnetic metal inevitably introduce uncontrollable damage and undesi...

Overview of the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey: mapping nearby galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (2014)
Journal Article

We present an overview of a new integral field spectroscopic survey called MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory), one of three core programs in the fourth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) that began on 2014 July 1....

Adsorbate-induced curvature and stiffening of graphene (2014)
Journal Article

The adsorption of the alkane tetratetracontane (TTC, C44H90) on graphene induces the formation of a curved surface stabilized by a gain in adsorption energy. This effect arises from a curvature-dependent variation of a moiré pattern due to the mismat... Read More about Adsorbate-induced curvature and stiffening of graphene.

Charge-swapping q balls (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 American Physical Society. Q balls are nontopological solitonic solutions to a wide class of field theories that possess global symmetries. Here we show that in these same theories there also exists a tower of novel composite Q-ball solutions... Read More about Charge-swapping q balls.

WIMP physics with ensembles of direct-detection experiments (2014)
Journal Article

The search for weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter is multi-pronged. Ulti- mately, the WIMP-dark-matter picture will only be confirmed if different classes of experiments see consistent signals and infer the same WIMP properties. I...

Neural and Cognitive Correlates of the Common and Specific Variance Across Externalizing Problems in Young Adolescence (2014)
Journal Article

Spin manipulation and spin-lattice interaction in magnetic colloidal quantum dots (2014)
Journal Article

We report on the spin-lattice interaction and coherent manipulation of electron spins in Mn-doped colloidal PbS quantum dots (QDs) by electron spin resonance. We show that the phase memory time,TM, is limited by Mn–Mn dipolar interactions, hyperfine... Read More about Spin manipulation and spin-lattice interaction in magnetic colloidal quantum dots.

Analysis of interaction between the apicomplexan protozoan Toxoplasma gondii and host cells using label-free Raman spectroscopy (2014)
Journal Article

Label-free imaging using Raman micro-spectroscopy (RMS) was used to characterize the spatio-temporal molecular changes of T. gondii tachyzoites and their host cell microenvironment. Raman spectral maps were recorded from isolated T. gondii tachyzoite...

Universal nonequilibrium properties of dissipative rydberg gases (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 American Physical Society. We investigate the out-of-equilibrium behavior of a dissipative gas of Rydberg atoms that features a dynamical transition between two stationary states characterized by different excitation densities. We determine th... Read More about Universal nonequilibrium properties of dissipative rydberg gases.

Critical assessment of the evidence for striped nanoparticles (2014)
Journal Article

There is now a significant body of literature which reports that stripes form in the ligand shell of suitably functionalised Au nanoparticles. This stripe morphology has been proposed to strongly affect the physicochemical and biochemical properties... Read More about Critical assessment of the evidence for striped nanoparticles.

Effective dynamics of strongly dissipative Rydberg gases (2014)
Journal Article

We investigate the evolution of interacting Rydberg gases in the limit of strong noise and dissipation. Starting from a description in terms of a Markovian quantum master equation we derive effective equations of motion that govern the dynamics on a...

Constraining disformally coupled scalar fields (2014)
Journal Article

Light scalar fields can naturally couple disformally to matter fields. Static, nonrelativistic sources do not generate a classical field profile for a disformally coupled scalar, and so such scalars are free from the constraints on the existence of f...

Versatile cold atom source for multi-species experiments (2014)
Journal Article

We present a dual-species oven and Zeeman slower setup capable of producing slow, high-flux atomic beams for loading magneto-optical traps. Our compact and versatile system is based on electronic switching between different magnetic field profiles an... Read More about Versatile cold atom source for multi-species experiments.

Sussing merger trees: the impact of halo merger trees on galaxy properties in a semi-analytic model (2014)
Journal Article

A halo merger tree forms the essential backbone of a semi-analytic model for galaxy formation and evolution. Recent studies have pointed out that extracting merger trees from numerical simulations of structure formation is non-trivial; different tree...
