Based on a model Hamiltonian with competing antiferromagnetic (AF) and d-wave superconductivity interactions, the vortex charge is investigated by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. We found that the vortex charge is negative when a sufficient strength of AF order is induced inside the vortex core; otherwise, it is positive. By tuning the on-site Coulomb repulsion U or the doping param...

Memoryless time evolutions are ubiquitous in nature but often correspond to a resolution-induced approximation, i.e. there are correlations in time whose effects are undetectable. Recent advances in the dynamical control of small quantum systems provide the ideal scenario to probe some of these effects. Here we experimentally demonstrate the precise induction of memory effects on the evolution ...

A study of 345 protein structures selected among 1,500 structures determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods, revealed useful correlations between crystallization properties and several parameters for the studied proteins. NMR methods of structure determination do not require the growth of protein crystals, and hence allow comparison of properties of proteins that have or have not b...

Coherent-optical-control schemes exploit the coherence of laser pulses to change the phases of interfering dynamical pathways and manipulate dynamical processes. These active control methods are closely related to dynamical decoupling techniques, popularized in the field of quantum information. Inspired by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, dynamical decoupling methods apply sequences of ...

NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for determining structural and functional features of biomolecules in physiological solution as well as for observing their intermolecular interactions in real-time. However, complex steps associated with its practice have made the approach daunting for non-specialists. We introduce an NMR platform that makes biomolecular NMR spectroscopy much more acces...

We have synthesized high-quality single crystals of volborthite, a seemingly distorted kagome antiferromagnet, and carried out high-field magnetization measurements up to 74 T and ^{51}V NMR measurements up to 30 T. An extremely wide 1/3 magnetization plateau appears above 28 T and continues over 74 T at 1.4 K, which has not been observed in previous studies using polycrystalline samples. NMR s...

We investigated temperature distribution in a solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sample rotor under magic angle spinning (MAS) experiments by analyzing the (207)Pb chemical shift of solid lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2). The analysis corrected a mismatch of the temperature dependence of (1)H spin-lattice relaxation time (T1(H)) obtained from different sample positions in the rotor. We prepare...

A comparison between the two tracers of magnetic field mirror asymmetry in solar active regions, twist and current helicity, is presented. It is shown that for individual active regions these tracers do not possess visible similarity while averaging by time over the solar cycle, or by latitude, reveals similarities in their behaviour. The main property of the dataset is anti-symmetry over the s...

Recent developments in experimental and computational aspects of NMR spectroscopy have had a significant impact on the accuracy and speed of macromolecular structure determination in solution, particularly with regard to systems of high complexity (such as protein complexes). These include experiments designed to provide long-range orientational and translational restraints, improvements in int...

Determination of precise and accurate protein structures by NMR generally requires weeks or even months to acquire and interpret all the necessary NMR data. However, even medium-accuracy fold information can often provide key clues about protein evolution and biochemical function(s). In this article we describe a largely automatic strategy for rapid determination of medium-accuracy protein back...
