Ultrafast Demagnetization Through Femtosecond Generation of Non‐Thermal Magnons
A fully ab initio parametrized model is developed to describe out‐of‐equilibrium magnon dynamics in ferromagnetic metals. Applying this model to ultrafast laser‐induced demagnetization, it is revealed that the generation of non‐thermal magnons provides a sizable demagnetization within 200 fs in excellent comparison with experiments, which establishes ...

Thermal‐Infrared Measurements of the North‐East Tower at Ardrossan Castle
ABSTRACT Thermal‐infrared imaging of buildings is used to investigate a range of phenomena including the accumulation of moisture. In general, the presence of moisture poses a direct danger to historic structures and must be characterized prior to any intervention.

ABSTRACT The physics of heavy‐ion collisions is one of the most exciting and challenging directions of science for the last four decades. On the theoretical side one deals with a non‐abelian field theory, while on the experimental side today's largest accelerators are needed to enable these studies.

The basics of gravitational wave theory
Einstein's special theory of relativity revolutionized physics by teaching us that space and time are not separate entities, but join as ``spacetime''.

Invisible Labor and the “Ghost Particle”: Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields**
Abstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.

Abstract Short‐lived, unobservable, and not subject to the usual rules of conservation of energy and momentum, virtual particles—an integral part of the conceptual framework of quantum field theory (QFT)—exhibit a number of curious characteristics which, in recent decades, have in part fueled important discussions about their ontological status ...

A Hopf variables view on the libration points dynamics
The dynamics about the libration points of the Hill problem is investigated analytically. In particular, the use of Lissajous variables and perturbation theory allows to reduce the problem to a one degree of freedom Hamiltonian depending on two physical ...

eChem: Accelerated Method Development in Quantum Chemistry with Notebooks
The benefits of using Jupyter Notebooks to simplify and accelerate scientific code development are demonstrated using the practical example of the analytical molecular Hessian. The eChem project has been previously presented as an interactive platform for quantum and computational chemistry education [J. Chem. Educ. 100, 1664–1671].

Stellar Velocity Distribution in Galactic Disks
We present numerical studies of the properties of the stellar velocity distribution in galactic disks which have developed a saturated, two-armed spiral structure. In previous papers we used the Boltzmann moment equations (BME) up to second order for our

Linear Discontinuity Sharpening for Highly Resolved and Robust Magnetohydrodynamics Simulations
This study applies a reconstruction scheme, “hybrid MUSCL–THINC” for finite volume methods developed by Chiu et al., to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations. Furthermore, the robustness is improved by a modification that deactivates an artificial compression by THINC depending on the non‐linearity of MHD discontinuities.
