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. …”

A high‐resolution AUV navigation framework with integrated communication and tracking for under‐ice deployments by Randeni, Supun, Schneider, Toby, Bhatt, EeShan C., Víquez, Oscar A., Schmidt, Henrik

“…To decouple the contributions from the HydroMAN and ICNN subsystems towards a stable navigation solution, this article evaluates them separately: (1) HydroMAN was compared against DVL bottom‐track aided INS during pre‐ICEX20 engineering trials where both systems provided similar accuracy; (2) ICNN was evaluated by conducting a static experiment in the Arctic where the ICNN navigation updates were compared against GPS with ICNN error within low tens of meters. The joint HydroMAN‐ICNN framework was tested during ICEX20, which provided a nondiverging high‐resolution navigation solution—with the majority of error below 15 m—that facilitated a successful AUV recovery through a small ice hole after an 11 km untethered run in the upper and mid‐water column.…”
