“…The lifetime of the fast component of cathodoluminescence at 2.8 and 3.1 eV equals 2.4 and 1.7 ns, respectively, at 6 K and even shortens to approximately τ ≈ 0.3 ns at room temperature. At 10 K, photons of 7.6 and 6.7 eV directly form ELFs in the field of single or paired Na+ impurity ions with typical luminescence bands peaked, respectively, at 2.8 eV (el0 (Na+)) and 3.1 eV (el0 (Na+-Na+)). …”

The Timing and Spectral Properties of the 2022 Outburst of SGR J1935+2154 Observed with NICER by Fu Yu-Cong, Lin Lin, Ge Ming-Yu, Enoto Teruaki, Hu Chin-Ping, Younes George, Göǧüş Ersin, Malacaria Christian

“…The decay of the outburst is dominated by the drop in the nonthermal component, which also leads to an increase in thermal proportion. The photon index of the PL is inversely correlated with both the unabsorbed flux and the burst rate. …”

Chasing the Beginning of Reionization in the JWST Era by Christopher Cain, Garett Lopez, Anson D’Aloisio, Julian B. Muñoz, Rolf A. Jansen, Rogier A. Windhorst, Nakul Gangolli

“…Recent JWST observations at z  > 6 may imply galactic ionizing photon production above prior expectations. Under observationally motivated assumptions about escape fractions, these suggest a z  ~ 8–9 end to reionization, in tension with the z  < 6 end required by the Ly α forest. …”

Aqueous foams in microgravity, measuring bubble sizes by Pasquet, Marina, Galvani, Nicolo, Pitois, Olivier, Cohen-Addad, Sylvie, Höhler, Reinhard, Chieco, Anthony T., Dillavou, Sam, Hanlan, Jesse M., Durian, Douglas J., Rio, Emmanuelle, Salonen, Anniina, Langevin, Dominique

“…DTS only allows the determination of an average bubble radius which is proportional to the photon transport mean free path $\ell ^*$. The relation between the measured diffuse transmitted light intensity and $\ell ^*$ previously derived for slab-shaped samples of infinite lateral extent does not apply to the cuboid geometry of the cells used in the microgravity experiment. …”

Spin-bearing molecules as optically addressable platforms for quantum technologies by Kuppusamy Senthil Kumar, Hunger David, Ruben Mario, Goldner Philippe, Serrano Diana

“…In this contribution, we present a concise and collective discussion of optically addressable spin-bearing molecules – namely, organic molecules, transition metal (TM) and rare-earth ion (REI) complexes – and highlight recent results such as chemical tuning of optical and electron spin quantum coherence, optical spin initialization and readout, intramolecular quantum teleportation, optical coherent storage, and photonic-enhanced optical addressing. We envision that optically addressable spin-carrying molecules could become a scalable building block of quantum hardware for applications in the fields of quantum sensing, quantum communication and quantum computing.…”

Dynamics of spatial phase coherence in a dissipative Bose–Hubbard atomic system by Vatré, Rémy, Bouganne, Raphaël, Bosch Aguilera, Manel, Ghermaoui, Alexis, Beugnon, Jérôme, Lopes, Raphael, Gerbier, Fabrice

“…Equivalently, the spatial correlation function (the Fourier-conjugate quantity of the momentum distribution) progressively narrows down as more photons are scattered. Here we measure the correlation function of the matter field for fixed distances corresponding to nearest-neighbor (n-n) and next-nearest-neighbor (n-n-n) sites of the optical lattice as a function of time, hereafter called n-n and n-n-n correlators. …”
