Article Abstract

Time-resolved momentum microscopy provides insight into the ultrafast interplay between structural and electronic dynamics. Here we extend orbital tomography into the time domain in combination with time-resolved momentum microscopy at a free-electron laser (FEL) to follow transient photoelectron momentum maps of excited states of a bilayer pentacene film on Ag(110). We use optical pump and FEL probe pulses by keeping FEL source conditions to minimize space charge effects and radiation damage. From the momentum microscopy signal, we obtain time-dependent momentum maps of the excited-state dynamics of both pentacene layers separately. In a combined experimental and theoretical study, we interpret the observed signal for the bottom layer as resulting from the charge redistribution between the molecule and the substrate induced by excitation. We identify that the dynamics of the top pentacene layer resembles excited-state molecular dynamics.

Altermagnets are a newly identified family of collinear antiferromagnets with a momentum-dependent spin-split band structure of non-relativistic origin, derived from spin-group symmetry-protected crystal structures. Among candidate altermagnets, CrSb is attractive for potential applications because of a large spin-splitting near the Fermi level and a high Néel transition temperature of around 700 K. Molecular beam epitaxy is used to synthesize CrSb (0001) thin films with thicknesses ranging from 10 to 100 nm.

In this work, we investigate how the crystallographic growth direction influences spin current transmission in antiferromagnetic (AF) NiO thin films. By manipulating epitaxial growth, we explored the spin transport characteristics in LaSrMnO/NiO/Pt heterostructures grown on top of (001)- and (111)-oriented SrTiO substrates, varying the NiO barrier thickness (t). Spin currents were generated via spin pumping (SP), and detection was done by the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE).

: As bacteriophage-based strategies to control bacterial pathogens continue to gain momentum, phage therapy is increasingly being explored across various fields. In the poultry industry, efforts to minimize the public health impact of have spurred growing interest in phage applications, particularly as prophylactic and disinfecting agents. Although the disinfecting potential of bacteriophages has been recognized, in-depth studies examining their efficacy under varying environmental conditions remain limited.

Alpha2-plasmin inhibitor (α2PI) has a heterogeneous structure due to proteolytic cleavages in the circulation. The C-terminally cleaved form loses the plasminogen binding site and is, therefore, a slow plasmin inhibitor (NPB-α2PI). As FXIII primarily crosslinks the plasminogen-binding intact form (PB-α2PI) to fibrin, the effect of NPB-α2PI on fibrinolysis has been less studied.

Scanning transmission electron microscopy-electron energy loss spectroscopy (STEM-EELS) has emerged as a state-of-the-art characterization modality in materials science, undergoing transformative advancements over the past decade. Revolutionary developments in monochromator technology have pushed EELS energy resolution into the sub-10 meV regime, enabling investigations of low-energy excitations such as phonons, excitons, plasmons, and polaritons at nanometer and sub-nanometer scales, in addition to traditional core-loss spectroscopy. Besides to the high spatial resolution and high energy resolution, the coherent nature of STEM electron probes now allows momentum-resolved spectral information to be acquired, providing an ideal platform for correlating nanoscale structural features with functional properties at the nanometer and atomic level.
