Article Abstract

Double-pass Thomson scattering (TS) is a technique used to measure electron temperature anisotropy, and a double-pass TS diagnostic system with good safety (avoidance of damage to the YAG laser device by the backward beam) and performance (collection optics with sufficient efficiency) was fabricated in TST-2. Obvious electron temperature anisotropies were found in the TST-2 ohmic plasmas. Moreover, a simple theoretical model was proposed to estimate the electron temperature anisotropy from the inductive electric field, the electron temperature and density, and the effective ionic charge. The measured electron temperature anisotropy shows a qualitative agreement with the theoretical one when we consider the factor of ambiguities in the electric field and the effective ionic charge.

We present a method for probing the quantum capacitance associated with the Rydberg transition of surface electrons on liquid helium using radio-frequency (rf) reflectometry. Resonant microwave excitation of the Rydberg transition induces a redistribution of image charges on capacitively coupled electrodes, giving rise to a quantum capacitance originating from adiabatic state transitions and the finite curvature of the energy bands. By applying frequency-modulated resonant microwaves to drive the Rydberg transition, we systematically measured a capacitance sensitivity of 0.

The multiplicity of orbitals in quantum systems significantly influences the competition between Kondo screening and local spin magnetization. The identification of orbital-specific processes is essential for advancing spintronic devices, as well as for enhancing the understanding of many-body quantum phenomena, but it remains a great challenge. Here, we use a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to investigate single iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecules on MgO/Ag(100).

Co and CoPc Molecular Kondo Box on Gold Surface.

Phys Rev Lett

August 2025

Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui 230026, China.

We demonstrate a class of Co and CoPc molecular Kondo boxes on the Au(111) surface through scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and first-principles calculations. The π-electron states of the CoPc molecule hybridize with the conduction electron states of the Au(111) substrate, imparting itinerantlike electron characteristics. Because of the high symmetry matching between the d_{π} orbitals of Co adatoms and the π orbitals of CoPc, the large orbital overlap predominates the formation of a Kondo singlet within the molecular complexes that prevail over the competition from the metal substrate, enabling them effectively as the molecular Kondo boxes.

Substrate Contribution to Ultrafast Spin Dynamics in 2D van der Waals Magnets.

We propose a model that is able to reproduce the type-II ultrafast demagnetization dynamics observed in 2D magnets. The spin system is coupled to the electronic thermal bath and is treated with atomistic spin dynamics, while the electron and phonon heat baths are described phenomenologically by coupled equations via the two-temperature model. Our proposed two-temperature model takes into account the effect of the heated substrate, which for 2D systems results in a slow demagnetization regime.

Chiral Phonon-Induced Spin Transport via Microscopic Barnett Effect.

Phys Rev Lett

August 2025

Duke University, Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Durham, North Carolina 27708, USA.

Chiral phonons, which are characterized by rotational atomic motion, offer a unique mechanism for transferring angular momentum from phonons to electron spins and other angular momentum carriers. In this Letter, we present a theoretical investigation into the emergence of chiral phonons in a chiral hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) and their critical roles in rigid-body rotation, magnetic moment generation, and spin transport under nonthermal equilibrium conditions. We demonstrate that phonon angular momentum can modify the spin chemical potential via a proposed microscopic Barnett effect, leading to a spatially varying spin chemical potential at the metal/HOIP interface, which subsequently induces spin currents in an adjacent Cu layer, with a magnitude consistent with experimental observations.
