We propose an all spin state element to enable all spin state machines using spin currents and nanomagnets. We demonstrate via numerical simulations the operation of a state element a critical building block for synchronous, sequential logic computation. The numerical models encompass Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) nanomagnet dynamics with stochastic models and vector spin-transport in metallic ...

The in-plane normal-state resistivity of Zn-doped YBa2Cu3O7−δ and heavily underdoped pure YBCO single crystals is measured down to low temperatures under magnetic fields up to 18 T. We found that the temperature dependence of the normal-state ρab does not obey log(1/T ) and tends not to diverge in the low temperature limit. The result suggests that the “ground state” of the normal state of YBCO...

Photoinduced phase transitions in organic compounds with strong electron correlation ET [bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene)-based salts α-(ET)2I3, θ-(ET)2RbZn(SCN)4, κ-(d-ET)2Cu[N(CN)2Br] were discussed based, on time resolved optical pump-probe spectroscopy using ~150 fs mid-infrared pulse, 12 fs near infrared pulse, and sub-picosecond terahertz pulse. (i) In charge-ordered insulators α-(...

We calculate the corrections to the conductivity and compressibility of a disordered metal when the mean free path is smaller than the screening length. Such a condition is shown to be realized for low densities and large disorder. Analysis of the stability of the metallic state reveals a transition to the insulating state in two-dimensions.

A spot that flickers at 16 Hz between two luminance levels (on a grey surround) has an appearance of metallic lustre, which we call 'monocular lustre'. Binocular and monocular lustre were measured in comparable conditions by a rating procedure, and both were reported only when the light and dark values of the flickering (or binocularly fused) spot straddled the surround luminance, so that the s...

A positive response from a metal detector when run over an area of the body is a strong positive indicator of the presence of a metallic object. If there is a possibility of a buried metallic foreign body this positive finding should not be ignored.

Metallic elements are required in numerous essential biological processes of the human body. Transition metal elements like iron, zinc or copper bound to proteins (metalloproteins) perform a variety of complex biological functions as catalysts which regulate biochemical reactions and physiological functions in cells and organs. Published reports have been pointing out that excessive accumulatio...

A chiral organic conductor with metallic conductivity has been obtained by electrocrystallisation of a diiodotetrathiafulvalene derivative and enantiopure D-camphorsulfonate anion, associated in the solid state by halogen bonding interactions.

The authors describe a dual-mirror 90(∘) twisted periscope arrangement for transporting polarized light in air, wherein a general elliptic polarization state of the light is preserved at all wavelengths. It is experimentally demonstrated that in the wavelength range 400-1000 nm, this arrangement preserves the polarization state fairly well when using either metallic or dielectric mirrors.
