Analytic formulae of the CMB bispectra generated from non-Gaussianity in the tensor and vector perturbations

open access: yes, 2010
We present a complete set of formulae for calculating the bispectra of CMB temperature and polarization anisotropies generated from non-Gaussianity in the vector and tensor mode perturbations.

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Oblique light incidence method to study topological defects in nematic layers with conical boundary conditions

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
A polarization microscopy method to investigate the orientational structures and boojums formed in the chiral and achiral nematic layers under conical (tilted) boundary conditions has been developed.

Globally Polarized Quark-gluon Plasma in Non-central A+A Collisions

open access: yes, 2004
Produced partons have large local relative orbital angular momentum along the direction opposite to the reaction plane in the early stage of non-central heavy-ion collisions.

Modulation mechanism of multi-azimuthal masks on the redistributions of focused azimuthally polarized beams

open access: yesOptics Express, 2015
We propose a theoretical model to semi-quantitatively describe the modulation mechanism of multi-azimuthal masks on the focal fields of azimuthally polarized (AP) beam. With this model, we cannot only explain the redistributions of the polarization and intensity at the focal plane, but also consciously manage the focal fields by designing the mask ...

Actuating and Sensing Composites of Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Poly(ionic liquid)s

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conductive, mechanically tough, flexible, and stretchable filaments of a composite material comprising a liquid crystal elastomer and a poly(ionic liquid) are produced through 3D printing, which exhibit large actuation strain under stimulation and electrical resistance variation in response to deformation or environmental condition changes. Their

Local spin polarization in high energy heavy ion collisions

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2019
We reexamine the azimuthal angle dependence of the local spin polarization of hyperons in heavy ion collisions at 200 GeV in the framework of the (3+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamic model CLVisc.

Optical spin-dependent beam separation in cyclic group symmetric metasurface

open access: yesNanophotonics, 2020

Spin angular momentum density in the tight focus of a light field with phase and polarization singularities [PDF]

open access: yesКомпьютерная оптика, 2019
For a light field with both phase and polarization singularities at its center, expressions are obtained that describe the distribution of the spin angular momentum (SAM) density in the sharp focal spot of an aplanatic system.

Azimuthal correlation between the $(\vec{p}_l,\vec{p}_{X_b})$ and $(\vec{p}_l,\vec{P}_t)$ planes in the semileptonic rest frame decay of a polarized top quark: An $O(\alpha_s)$ effect

open access: yes, 2008
The azimuthal correlation between the planes formed by the vectors $(\vec{p}_\ell,\vec{p}_{X_b})$ and $(\vec{p}_\ell,\vec{P}_t)$ in the semileptonic rest frame decay of a polarized top quark $t(\uparrow) \to X_b + l^+ + \nu_\ell$ belongs to a class of ...
