Transcriptional down-regulation of ccr5 in a subset of HIV+ controllers and their family members. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
HIV +Elite and Viremic controllers (EC/VCs) are able to control virus infection, perhaps because of host genetic determinants. We identified 16% (21 of 131) EC/VCs with CD4 +T cells with resistance specific to R5-tropic HIV, reversed after introduction ...

Microwave photovoltage and photoresistance effects in ferromagnetic microstrips

open access: yes, 2008
We investigate the dc electric response induced by ferromagnetic resonance in ferromagnetic Permalloy (Ni80Fe20) microstrips. The resulting magnetization precession alters the angle of the magnetization with respect to both dc and rf current ...

Spin switching via quantum dot spin valves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We develop a theory for spin transport and magnetization dynamics in a quantum-dot spin valve, i.e., two magnetic reservoirs coupled to a quantum dot. Our theory is able to take into account effects of strong correlations.
