Laser-induced coherent spin change due to spin-orbit coupling by In Cheol Yu, Jung Hyun Oh, Je-Ho Shim, Kab-Jin Kim, Byong-Guk Park, Dong-Hyun Kim, Kyoung-Whan Kim, Hyun-Woo Lee, Kyung-Jin Lee, Fabian Rotermund

“…Despite earlier reports, coherent spin excitation has been overlooked, because of the challenges of interpreting magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) signals and the assumption of optical dipole transitions. By combining time-resolved MOKE measurements with density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate that a transient MOKE peak during laser pulse includes coherent spin excitation. …”

Mechanical Characterization of Unsaturated Loess and Numerical Simulation of Slope Stability Under Freeze–Thaw Cycles by Gang Wei, Jianyu Xiao, Yuanbing Xia, Weiheng Peng, Xinning Wu, Huijuan A, Huawen Qi, Zhilin Ren

“…The findings indicate that (1) the stress–strain curves from both tests typically exhibit weak strain-softening behavior, with increased matric suction enhancing shear strength; (2) in the direct shear test, both cohesion (c) and the angle of internal friction (φ) rise with matric suction, whereas in the triaxial test, cohesion increases while φ decreases; and (3) an increase in freeze–thaw cycles results in a gradual decline in slope safety factor, though the rate of decline diminishes over time. Additionally, initial water content and slope gradient changes significantly affect slope stability. …”
