Spin-polarized electron beam generation in the colliding-pulse injection scheme

Zheng Gong, Michael J. Quin et al.

Employing colliding-pulse injection has been shown to enable the generation of high-quality electron beams from laser–plasma accelerators. Here, by using test particle simulations, Hamiltonian ...

Pressure-induced evolution of stoichiometries and electronic structures of host–guest Na–B compounds

Zixuan Guo, Xing Li et al.

Superionic and electride behaviors in materials, which induce a variety of exotic physical properties of ions and electrons, are of great importance both in fundamental research and for practical ...

Density-dependent carrier-envelope phase shift in attosecond pulse generation from relativistically oscillating mirrors

Rishat Zagidullin, Stefan Tietze et al.

The carrier-envelope phase (CEP) φ₀ is one of the key parameters in the generation of isolated attosecond pulses. In particular, “cosine” pulses (φ₀ = 0) are best suited for generation of single ...

Direct imaging of shock wave splitting in diamond at Mbar pressure

Sergey Makarov, Sergey Dyachkov et al.

Understanding the behavior of matter at extreme pressures of the order of a megabar (Mbar) is essential to gain insight into various physical phenomena at macroscales—the formation of planets, young ...

The near-room-temperature upsurge of electrical resistivity in Lu-H-N is not superconductivity, but a metal-to-poor-conductor transition

Di Peng, Qiaoshi Zeng et al.

The recent report of superconductivity in nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride (Lu-H-N) at 294 K and 1 GPa brought hope for long-sought-after ambient-condition superconductors. However, the failure of ...
