Microsecond dark-exciton valley polarization memory in two-dimensional heterostructures by Jiang, Chongyun, Xu, Weigao, Rasmita, Abdullah, Huang, Zumeng, Li, Ke, Xiong, Qihua, Gao, Wei-bo

“…Previous results showed that it is around picosecond in monolayer excitons, nanosecond for local excitons and tens of nanosecond for interlayer excitons. Here we show that the dark excitons in two-dimensional heterostructures provide a microsecond valley polarization memory thanks to the magnetic field induced suppression of valley mixing. …”

A structural interpretation of the aftershock "cloud" of the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake by Liu, Jing, Sieh, Kerry, Hauksson, Egill

“…Less than half of the aftershocks occurred within 1 km of the mainshock planes, and perhaps only 5% of the aftershocks are candidates for rerupture of the mainshock faults. Moreover, it seems that aftershocks along the Landers rupture have b-values that correlate well with the complexity of the mainshock rupture. …”
