We present experimental data on the nonadiabatic strong field ionization of atomic hydrogen using elliptically polarized femtosecond laser pulses at a central wavelength of 390 nm. Our measured results are in very good agreement with a numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE). Experiment and TDSE show four above-threshold ionization peaks in the electron's energy spectrum. The most probable emission angle (also known as "attoclock offset angle" or "streaking angle") is found to increase with energy, a trend that is opposite to standard predictions based on Coulomb interaction with the ion. We show that this increase of deflection angle can be explained by a model that includes nonadiabatic corrections of the initial momentum distribution at the tunnel exit and nonadiabatic corrections of the tunnel exit position itself.The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) signal of magnon polarons in bulk-Y_3Fe_5O_12 (YIG)/Pt heterostructures is found to drastically change as a function of temperature. It appears as a dip in the total SSE signal at low temperatures, but as the temperature increases, the dip gradually decreases before turning to a peak. We attribute the observed dip-to-peak transition to the rapid rise of the four-magnon scattering rate. Our analysis provides important insights into the microscopic origin of the hybridized excitations and the overall temperature dependence of the SSE anomalies.We report Alfvén-wave experiments with liquid rubidium at the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Reaching up to 63 T, the pulsed magnetic field exceeds the critical value of 54 T at which the Alfvén speed coincides with the sound speed. At this threshold, we observe a period doubling of an applied 8 kHz cw excitation, which is consistent with the theoretical expectation of a parametric resonance between magnetosonic waves and Alfvén waves. Similar mode conversions are discussed as a possible mechanism for heating the solar corona.Detecting the orientation of the Néel vector is a major research topic in antiferromagnetic spintronics. Here we recognize the intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect, which is independent of the relaxation time, as a prominent contribution to the time-reversal-odd second order conductivity and can be used to detect the reversal of the Néel vector. In contrast, the Berry-curvature-dipole-induced nonlinear Hall effect depends linearly on relaxation time and is time-reversal even. We study the intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect in an antiferromagnetic metal tetragonal CuMnAs, and show that its nonlinear Hall conductivity can reach the order of mA/V^2. The dependence on the chemical potential of such nonlinear Hall conductivity can be qualitatively explained by a tilted massive Dirac model. Moreover, we demonstrate its strong temperature dependence and briefly discuss its competition with the second order Drude conductivity. Finally, a complete survey of magnetic point groups is presented, providing guidelines for finding more antiferromagnetic materials with the intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect.Antisolvent-assisted spin coating has been widely used for fabricating metal halide perovskite films with smooth and compact morphology. Pemrametostat supplier However, localized nanoscale inhomogeneities exist in these films owing to rapid crystallization, undermining their overall optoelectronic performance. Here, we show that by relaxing the requirement for film smoothness, outstanding film quality can be obtained simply through a post-annealing grain growth process without passivation agents. The morphological changes, driven by a vaporized methylammonium chloride (MACl)-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution, lead to comprehensive defect elimination. Our nanoscale characterization visualizes the local defective clusters in the as-deposited film and their elimination following treatment, which couples with the observation of emissive grain boundaries and excellent inter- and intragrain optoelectronic uniformity in the polycrystalline film. Overcoming these performance-limiting inhomogeneities results in the enhancement of the photoresponse to low-light ( less then 0.1 mW cm-2) illumination by up to 40-fold, yielding high-performance photodiodes with superior low-light detection.Hygroscopic hydrogels hold significant promise for high-performance atmospheric water harvesting, passive cooling, and thermal management. However, a mechanistic understanding of the sorption kinetics of hygroscopic hydrogels remains elusive, impeding an optimized design and broad adoption. Here, we develop a generalized two-concentration model (TCM) to describe the sorption kinetics of hygroscopic hydrogels, where vapor transport in hydrogel micropores and liquid transport in polymer nanopores are coupled through the sorption at the interface. We show that the liquid transport due to the chemical potential gradient in the hydrogel plays an important role in the fast kinetics. The high water uptake is attributed to the expansion of hydrogel during liquid transport. Moreover, we identify key design parameters governing the kinetics, including the initial porosity, hydrogel thickness, and shear modulus. This work provides a generic framework of sorption kinetics, which bridges the knowledge gap between the fundamental transport and practical design of hygroscopic hydrogels.Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) with large deformation under external stimuli have attracted extensive attention in various applications such as soft robotics, 4D printing, and biomedical devices. However, it is still a great challenge to reduce the damage to collimation and enhance the mechanical and actuation properties of LCEs simultaneously. Here, we construct a new method of a double cross-linking network structure to improve the mechanical properties of LCEs. The ureidopyrimidinone (UPy) group with quadruple hydrogen bonds was used as the physical cross-linking unit, and pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptopropionate) was used as the chemical cross-link. The LCEs showed a strong mechanical tensile strength of 8.5 MPa and excellent thermally induced deformation (50%). In addition, the introduction of quadruple hydrogen bonds endows self-healing ability to extend the service life of LCEs. This provides a generic strategy for the fabrication of high-strength LCEs, inspiring the development of actuators and artificial muscles.Fabrication processes of fossil fuel-derived carbon nanomaterials are of high carbon emissions. Deriving carbon materials from low-cost and sustainable biomass is eco-friendly. Cotton, one of the most abundant biomass materials, naturally holds a hierarchically porous structure, making the activated cotton textile (ACT) an ideal scaffold for loading active materials. Here, we report a low-cost approach to massively producing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via a combination process of vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) and solid-liquid-solid (SLS) where cotton decomposed into carbon-containing gases and amorphous carbons that then dissolved into Fe nanoparticles, forming Fe/Fe3C-encapsulated MWCNTs. The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery constructed by the Fe/Fe3C-MWCNT@ACT/S composite (as the cathode) and the Fe/Fe3C-MWCNT@ACT (as the interlayer) exhibited a superlative cycling stability (over 1000 cycles at 1.0 C), an ultralow capacity decay rate (0.0496% per cycle) and a remarkable specific capacity (1273 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C). The Fe/Fe3C-MWCNTs enhanced electrode stability and suppressed polysulfide dissolution during cycling.Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials have attracted significant attention for promising applications in energy-saving logic and robust memory devices. However, most 2D magnets discovered so far typically feature drawbacks for practical applications due to low critical temperatures. Herein, we synthesize ultrathin room-temperature (RT) magnetic Fe7Se8 nanoflakes via the space-confined chemical vapor deposition method. It is found that the appropriate supply and control of Se concentration in the reaction chamber is crucial for synthesizing high-quality nonstoichiometric Fe7Se8 nanoflakes. Cryogenic electrical and magnetic characterizations reveal the emergence of spin reorientation at ∼130 K and the survival of long-range magnetic ordering up to room temperature. The RT magnetic domain structures with different thicknesses are also uncovered by magnetic force microscopy. Moreover, theoretical calculations confirm the spin configuration and metallic band structure. The outstanding characteristics exhibited by Fe7Se8 nanoflakes, including RT magnetism, spin reorientation property, and good electrical conductivity, make them a potential candidate for RT spintronics.The structural evolution of GeSe2 glass during aging is studied using Raman spectroscopy and density relaxation measurements. The Raman spectra indicate volume- and entropy-driven changes in the relative concentrations of the corner-sharing (CS) and edge-sharing (ES) GeSe4 tetrahedra and in the degree of chemical order of the tetrahedral network during aging at 65 °C below the nominal glass transition temperature. The attendant structural changes involve a progressive increase in the CSES ratio and in the chemical order that can be expressed in the form of a reaction Ge-Ge + Se-Se → 2 Ge-Se, which shifts to the right, with lowering of fictive temperature. The isothermal relaxation of both the structure and density during aging displays rather similar stretched exponential kinetics with a stretching exponent β ∼0.54 and an average relaxation time of ∼13.5 h. In situ high-temperature Raman spectroscopic measurements indicate that structural relaxation does not affect the anharmonicity of the vibrational potential wells in the energy landscape of GeSe2 glass.We have designed and synthesized 3,6,13,16-tetrapropylporphycene for the first time as its alkyl analogue from ethyl 4-propyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate. The substituent effect was found to be more intense than reported positional isomeric tetrapropylporphycenes. The freebase porphycene exhibited moderate fluorescence and complexation ability with divalent metal ions, including Zn(II), which displayed an enhanced emission quantum yield (∼30%). The Pd(II) complex and freebase β-tetrabromoporphycene generated singlet oxygen efficiently (75 and 51%, respectively) and, hence, may find application as potential photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy.The glucosinolate (GSL) profiles of four Limnanthaceae species, including the oil crop Limnanthes alba (meadowfoam), were investigated by an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QToF-MS/MS) analysis of desulfoGSLs after desulfation of native GSLs, supplemented by NMR of desulfated 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropylGSL and 3-methoxybenzylGSL. Leaves, roots, and seeds were investigated, providing an overview of biosynthetic capabilities in the genera Floerkea and Limnanthes. Methoxyl groups on benzylGSLs were in meta but not para positions; two 3,5-disubstituted benzylGSLs are tentatively proposed. 2-Hydroxy-2-methylpropylGSL was accompanied by an isomer that was not a previously reported GSL. The combined GSL profile of the family included GSLs derived from valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine, and possibly methionine and tryptophan. Substituted indole GSLs and GSLs derived from chain-elongated amino acids or alanine were searched for but not detected.
