Experimental demonstration of attosecond pump-probe spectroscopy with an X-ray free-electron laser

Christoph Bostedt, Zhaoheng Guo, Xiang Li, Jun Wang, Siqi Li, Zhen Zhang

Pump-probe experiments with subfemtosecond resolution are the key to understanding electronic dynamics in quantum systems. Here we demonstrate the generation and control of subfemtosecond pulse pairs from a two-colour X-ray free-electron laser. By measurin ...

Million-scale data integrated deep neural network for phonon properties of heuslers spanning the periodic table

Changpeng Lin, Hong Zhang, Chen Shen, Yong Zhao

Existing machine learning potentials for predicting phonon properties of crystals are typically limited on a material-to-material basis, primarily due to the exponential scaling of model complexity with the number of atomic species. We address this bottlen ...

Atomic-level structure determination of amorphous molecular solids by NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Arthur César Pinon, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Manuel Cordova

Structure determination of amorphous materials remains challenging, owing to the disorder inherent to these materials. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) powder crystallography is a powerful method to determine the structure of molecular solids, but disorder ...

The emergence of magnetic ordering at complex oxide interfaces tuned by defects

Paul Muralt, Vasiliki Tileli, Daesung Park, Gurpreet Singh, Jing Li, Yen-Chun Chen

Complex oxides show extreme sensitivity to structural distortions and defects, and the intricate balance of competing interactions which emerge at atomically defined interfaces may give rise to unexpected physics. In the interfaces of non-magnetic complex ...

Open-Shell Nonbenzenoid Nanographenes Containing Two Pairs of Pentagonal and Heptagonal Rings

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Alberto Fabrizio, Daniele Passerone

Nonbenzenoid carbocyclic rings are postulated to serve as important structural elements toward tuning the chemical and electronic properties of extended polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, or namely nanographenes), necessitating a rational and atomical ...

Distributed Logless Atomic Durability with Persistent Memory

Babak Falsafi, Alexandros Daglis, Siddharth Gupta

Datacenter operators have started deploying Persistent Memory (PM), leveraging its combination of fast access and persistence for significant performance gains. A key challenge for PM-aware software is to maintain high performance while achieving atomic du ...

The role of dispersion forces on the atomic structure of glassy chalcogenides: The case of GeSe4 and GeS4

Assil Bouzid, Carlo Massobrio

Recent first-principles molecular dynamics simulations (FPMD) results on two chalcogenide glasses (glassy GeS4 and GeSe4) are revisited by accounting explicitly for van der Waals (vdW) dispersion forces. This effort is motivated by the observation that suc ...

Efficient Logging in Non-Volatile Memory by Exploiting Coherency Protocols

James Richard Larus, Nachshon Cohen

Non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies such as PCM, ReRAM and STT-RAM allow processors to directly write values to persistent storage at speeds that are significantly faster than previous durable media such as hard drives or SSDs. Many applications of NVM ...

CPT Cesium-Cell Atomic Clock Operation With a 12-mW Frequency Synthesizer ASIC

Pierre-André Farine, Steve Tanner, Yazhou Zhao

In this paper, we present the design, fabrication, and electrical characterization of a low-power microwave source for interrogation of cesium atomic hyperfine transition frequency using the coherent population trapping (CPT) technique. The 4.6-GHz frequen ...

Atomic boxes: coordinated exception handling with transactional memory

Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

In concurrent programs raising an exception in one thread does not prevent others from operating on an inconsistent shared state. Instead, exceptions should ideally be handled in coordination by all the threads that are affected by their cause. In this pap ...

Snapshots of cooperative atomic motions in the optical suppression of charge density waves

Helmuth Berger

Macroscopic quantum phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, ferrimagnetism and ferromagnetism arise from a delicate balance of different interactions among electrons, phonons and spins on the nanoscale(1). The stud ...

Magnetism of individual atoms adsorbed on surfaces

Harald Brune, Pietro Gambardella

Magnetic impurities in solids cause manifold changes in their macroscopic properties, such as anomalous low temperature resistance due to Kondo screening, reduction of the superconducting transition temperature due to local suppression of the order paramet ...

On the Cost of Modularity in Atomic Broadcast

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Nils Richard Ekwall, Olivier Rütti

Modularity is a desirable property of complex software systems, since it simplifies code reuse, verification, maintenance, etc. However, the use of loosely coupled modules introduces a performance overhead. This overhead is often considered negligible, but ...

A new look at atomic broadcast in the asynchronous crash-recovery model

André Schiper, Sergio Mena

Atomic broadcast in particular, and group communication in general, have mainly been specified and implemented in a system model where processes do not recover after a crash. The model is called crash-stop. The drawback of this model is its inability to ex ...
