Partial grounding, identity, and nothing-over-and-aboveness by Werner, Jonas

“…It will turn out that the related question whether partial grounding and nothing-over-and-aboveness yield full grounding pertains to considerations concerning how finely factual content is individuated. The relationship between non-augmented partial grounding and nothing-over-and-aboveness crucially depends on whether one works with a representational or a worldly notion of grounding and how coarsely grained one takes worldly grounds to be.…”

Spin defects in hBN assisted by metallic nanotrenches for quantum sensing by Cai, Hongbing, Ru, Shihao, Jiang, Zhengzhi, Eng, John Jun Hong, He, Ruihua, Li, Fuli, Miao, Yansong, Zúñiga-Pérez, Jesús, Gao, Weibo

“…By monitoring the reflectance spectrum of the resonators as additional layers of hBN are transferred, we have optimized the overall hBN/nanotrench optical response, maximizing thereby the luminescence enhancement. Based on these finely tuned heterostructures, we achieved an enhanced DC magnetic field sensitivity as high as 6 × 10-5 T/Hz1/2.…”
