Entanglement Transfer through an Antiferromagnetic Spin Chain by Abolfazl Bayat, Sougato Bose

“…We show that, compared to the analogous scheme with a ferromagnetic chain in its ground state, here the entanglement is transmitted faster, with less decay, with a much higher purity and as a narrow pulse form rising nonanalytically from zero. Here nonzero temperatures and depolarizing environments are both found to be less destructive in comparison to the ferromagnetic case. …”

Fabrication of Large-Grain Thick Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Films via Aluminum-Induced Crystallization for Application in Solar Cells by Hsiao-Yeh Chu, Min-Hang Weng, Chen Lin

“…The induced 250 nm thick poly-Si film in the first stage is used as the seed layer for the crystallization of a 1 μm thick amorphous silicon (a-Si) film in the second stage. The annealing temperatures in the two stages are both 500°C. The effect of annealing time (15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes) in the second stage on the crystallization of a-Si film is investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. …”

Wireworms in Florida Sugarcane by R. H. Cherry, M. Karounos

“…More studies are needed, but the current information suggests substantial percentages (e.g. 40% or more) of wireworms could be killed by flooding but, in general, the flood duration had to be at least 4 to 5 weeks at water temperatures above 24 °C. Soil insecticides are generally used in newly planted sugarcane for wireworm control. …”

Observation of excitons bound by antiferromagnetic correlations by Omar Mehio, Yuchen Han, Xinwei Li, Honglie Ning, Zach Porter, Stephen D. Wilson, David Hsieh

“…Leveraging the distinct magnetic critical properties of the Mott antiferromagnets Sr_{2}IrO_{4} and Sr_{3}Ir_{2}O_{7}, we show using time-resolved THz spectroscopy that excitons exist only at temperatures below where short-range AFM correlation develops. …”

Origin of Meteoric Fluids in Extensional Detachments by Paul D. Bons, Enrique Gomez-Rivas

“…Burial of these rocks traps the fluids that can retain their meteoric isotopic composition as long as temperatures remain below about 300-350°C. Extension or rapid exhumation, such as that experienced by metamorphic core complexes, which results in decompression or fluid heating can release these old “meteoric” fluids, of which we find the isotopic fingerprint in veins and shear zone minerals.…”
