Coherent Terahertz Control and Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Layered Antiferromagnets by Ilyas, Batyr

“…These advancements not only showcase the capability of ultrafast experiments in understanding complex material properties but also demonstrate the manipulation of ordered phases at ultrafast timescales, thereby opening a laboratory for studying materials in nonequilibrium regime. This dissertation contributes to the ongoing effort of developing new ultrafast spectroscopy tools, utilizing them to probe lattice, magnetic, and electronic properties, and gaining active control over them. …”

Ultrafast modulation of exciton – plasmon coupling in a monolayer WS2 – Ag nanodisk hybrid system by Du, Wei, Zhao, Jiaxin, Zhao, Weijie, Zhang, Shunping, Xu, Hongxing, Xiong, Qihua

“…Utilizing transient absorption pump–probe spectroscopy, here we report an ultrafast modulation of the exciton–plasmon coupling in a monolayer WS2–Ag nanodisk hybrid system that displays Fano resonance at the steady-state regime. Specifically, the instant switch-off of the Fano resonance was observed upon the femtosecond pump excitation, characterized by the photoinduced absorption signal at the Fano resonance frequency. …”

A combined single crystal neutron/X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance study of the hybrid perovskites CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Br and Cl) by Baikie, Tom, Barrow, Nathan S., Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, White, Timothy John, Fang, Yanan, Keenan, Philip J., Slater, Peter R., Piltz, Ross O., Gutmann, Matthias

“…Furthermore, impedance spectroscopy has been used to monitor the high-temperature phase transition of CH3NH3PbI3, which confirms a significant increase in conductivity, when it is in its high temperature and higher symmetry structural regime. The optical band-gaps of each halide perovskite were determined using UV-visible spectroscopy and are consistent with previous reports.…”

Dependency, privilege, and counter-insurgency: a case study of the industrial elite of Hebron in the occupied West Bank by Arafeh, N

“…I also reveal how TFPs have recently introduced a new condition for business growth by requiring beneficiary businessmen to become counter-insurgency actors, managing an ‘anti-terror’ infrastructure and a self-surveillance regime under Israel’s control.</p> <p>Overall, the case study of Hebron’s elite provides a unique prism through which to see the complex assemblage of Israel’s overt and subtle technologies of colonial management. …”

Precision holography and supersymmetric theories on curved spaces by Genolini, P

“…<p>The formulation of rigid supersymmetric field theories on curved space leads to a number of results on their strongly-interacting regime, crucial from both the mathematical and physical point of view, starting from Witten’s topological twist of four-dimensional Yang–Mills theory. …”

Simulations of radiatively cooled magnetic reconnection driven by pulsed power by Datta, Rishabh, Crilly, Aidan, Chittenden, Jeremy P., Chowdhry, Simran, Chandler, Katherine, Chaturvedi, Nikita, Myers, Clayton E., Fox, William R., Hansen, Stephanie B., Jennings, Chris A., Ji, Hantao, Kuranz, Carolyn C., Lebedev, Sergey V., Uzdensky, Dmitri A., Hare, Jack D.

“…In this paper, we perform two- and three-dimensional simulations to model the MARZ (Magnetic Reconnection on Z) experiments, which are designed to access cooling rates in the laboratory necessary to investigate reconnection in a previously unexplored radiatively cooled regime. These simulations are performed in GORGON, an Eulerian two-temperature resistive magnetohydrodynamic code, which models the experimental geometry comprising two exploding wire arrays driven by 20 MA of current on the Z machine (Sandia National Laboratories). …”

Dynamic properties of high-Tc superconducting nano-junctions made with a focused helium ion beam by Couëdo, François, Amari, Paul, Feuillet-Palma, Cheryl, Ulysse, Christian, Srivastava, Yogesh Kumar, Singh, Ranjan, Bergeal, Nicolas, Lesueur, Jérôme

“…At lower temperature and for the highest He irradiation dose, the shot noise contribution must also be taken into account when approaching the tunneling regime. We conclude that these Josephson nano-junctions present the lowest noise level possible, which makes them very promising for future applications in the microwave and terahertz regimes.…”

Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan : the role of post-conflict reconstruction by Sadia Sulaiman

“…Subsequently, the Taliban-led insurgents re-emerged as a potent force by exploiting the Afghan people’s discontent, which arose from the absence of security, especially in the South and East of Afghanistan and the failure to rebuild the country’s economy, as a result of which the weak Karzai regime lost its legitimacy. The international community’s failure to make headway in reconstructing post-Bonn Afghanistan helped the Taliban to draw material and human resources for their movement from the disgruntled population. …”
