All-inorganic lead halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have attracted significant attention due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties and unique spin-related behaviors. This study investigates the interplay between hole spin coherence and photocharging processes in solution-processed CsPbCl PQDs by using time-resolved Faraday rotation spectroscopy. Our research reveals a room-temperature hole spin dephasing time of ∼60 ps and a hole factor of ∼1.73. Photocharging dynamics are probed via a spin detection technique based on a prepump-pump-probe methodology, uncovering biphasic formation kinetics with time constants of 54 and 327 ps and three lifetimes of 62 μs, 335 μs, and >1 ms for the photocharged states. These multiscale dynamics are similarly observed in CsPbBr PQDs. This study provides a quantitative framework linking spin coherence to photocharging processes, deepening the understanding of spin-charge correlations in lead halide perovskites, and offering practical guidelines for optimizing quantum coherence in solution-processed nanomaterials.

The relation between band topology and Majorana zero energy modes (MZMs) in topological superconductors had been well studied in the past decades. However, the relation between the quantum metric and MZMs has yet to be understood. In this Letter, we first construct a three band Lieb-like lattice model with an isolated flat band and tunable quantum metric.

We propose a spatially inhomogeneous matrix product Ansatz for an exact many-body density operator of a boundary-driven XXZ quantum circuit. The Ansatz has formally infinite bond dimension and is fundamentally different from previous constructions. The circuit is driven by a pair of reset quantum channels applied on the boundary qubits, which polarize the qubits to arbitrary pure target states.

Femtosecond laser excitation of nanometer thin heterostructures comprising a heavy metal and a magnetically ordered material is known to result in the emission of terahertz radiation. However, the nature of the emitted radiation from heavy metal/antiferromagnet heterostructures has sparked debates and controversies in the literature. Here, we unambiguously separate spin and charge contributions from Pt/NiO heterostructures by introducing an unprecedented methodology combining high external magnetic fields with a symmetry analysis of the emitted terahertz polarization.

Coherent electron spin states within paramagnetic molecules hold significant potential for microscopic quantum sensing. However, all-optical coherence measurements amenable to high spatial and temporal resolution under ambient conditions remain a significant challenge. Here we conduct room-temperature, picosecond time-resolved Faraday ellipticity/rotation (TRFE/R) measurements of the electron spin decoherence time in [IrBr].

Geopolymers are aluminosilicate materials that exhibit effective immobilization properties for low-level radioactive nuclear waste, and more specifically for the immobilization of radioactive cesium. The identification of the cesium-binding sites and their distribution between the different phases making up the geopolymeric matrix can be obtained using solid-state NMR measurements of the quadrupolar spin Cs, which is a surrogate for the radioactive cesium species present in nuclear waste streams. For quadrupolar nuclei, acquiring two-dimensional multiple-quantum experiments allows the acquisition of more dispersed spectra when multiple sites overlap.
