Carrier localization on the nanometer-scale limits transport in metal oxide photoabsorbers by Schleuning, Markus, Kölbach, Moritz, Ahmet, Ibbi, Präg, Raphael, Gottesman, Ronen, Gunder, Rene, Zhang, Mengyuan, Wargulski, Dan Ralf, Abou-Ras, Daniel, Grave, Daniel A., Abdi, Fatwa F., van de Krol, Roel, Schwarzburg, Klaus, Eichberger, Rainer, Friedrich, Dennis, Hempel, Hannes

“…Their kinetics of thermalization, trapping, localization, and recombination are monitored continuously 100 fs–100 µs and mobilities are determined for different probing lengths by combined time-resolved terahertz and microwave spectroscopy. As common issue, we find small mobilities < 3 cm2V-1s-1. Partial carrier localization further slows carrier diffusion beyond localization lengths of 1–6 nm and explains the extraordinarily long conductivity tails, which should not be taken as a sign of long diffusion lengths. …”

Unveiling the chirality of the quantum anomalous Hall effect by Chen, Hongyu, Jin, Yuanjun, Mohammad Yahyavi, Belopolski, Ilya, Shao, Sen, Hou, Tao, Wang, Naizhou, Hsu, Chia-Hsiu, Zhao, Yilin, Yang, Bo, Ma, Qiong, Yin, Jia-Xin, Xu, Su-Yang, Gao, Weibo, Chang, Guoqing

“…The quantized lδz will also give rise to a unique quantized magnetic circular dichroism effect in the case of resonance absorption. By lδz, we find that the chiral flow-direction of an electron in the QAHE is not explicitly related to the intrinsic spin axis, thereby enabling the spin-momentum-unlocking edge states in an antiferromagnetic QAHE system. …”

Global monitoring of volcanic SO2 degassing with unprecedented resolution from TROPOMI onboard Sentinel-5 Precursor by Barrington, Charlotte, Taisne, Benoit, Theys, N., Hedelt, P., De Smedt, I., Lerot, C., Yu, H., Vlietinck, J., Pedergnana, M., Arellano, S., Galle, B., Fernandez, D., Carlito, C. J. M., Delgado-Granados, H., Loyola, D., Van Roozendael, M.

“…Using the operational processing algorithm, we explore the benefit of improved spatial resolution to the monitoring of global volcanic degassing. We find that TROPOMI surpasses any space nadir sensor in its ability to detect weak degassing signals and captures day-to-day changes in SO2 emissions. …”

Offset-16QAM-based coherent WDM with multi-carrier group detection by Xiang, Meng, Fu, Songnian, Tang, M., Shum, P., Liu, Deming

“…Moreover, 0.5 dB required OSNR penalty at BER=10-3 is obtained given 18 GHz ADC bandwidth. Besides, we find that side carriers suffer from severer performance degradation than the central carrier with limited ADC resolution and only 0.08 dB and 0.2 dB required OSNR penalty at BER=10-3 are secured with 6 bits ADC resolution for central carrier and side carriers, respectively.…”

Upper mantle rheology from GRACE and GPS postseismic deformation after the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake by Banerjee, Paramesh, Panet, I., Mikhailov, V., Diament, M., Grijalva, K., Pollitz, Fred F.

“…This suggests that the localization of relatively low viscosity in the asthenosphere is chiefly in the transient viscosity rather than the steady state viscosity. We find a 8.10^18 Pa s mantle viscosity in the 220–660 km depth range. …”
