Molecular Engineering for Enhanced Second‐Order Nonlinear Response in Spontaneously‐Oriented Evaporated Organic Films

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, 16 February 2026.
Intramolecular bridge‐locking frustrates detrimental anti‐parallel packing in evaporated organic films. This design enhances net polar orientation, leading to a twofold off‐resonance increase in the second‐order nonlinear susceptibility (χ(2)) without electric‐field poling.

Polarization from the oscillating magnetized accretion torus

, 2009
We study oscillations of accretion torus with azimuthal magnetic field. For several lowest-order modes we calculate eigenfrequencies and eigenfunctions and calculate corresponding intensity and polarization light curves using advanced ray-tracing methods.

Hard X‐ray polarimetry of solar flares with BATSE [PDF]

, 1996
We describe a technique for measuring the polarization of hard X‐rays from solar flares based on the angular distribution of that portion of the flux which is scattered off the top of the Earth’s atmosphere.

The imaging properties of the Gas Pixel Detector as a focal plane polarimeter

, 2014
X-rays are particularly suited to probe the physics of extreme objects. However, despite the enormous improvements of X-ray Astronomy in imaging, spectroscopy and timing, polarimetry remains largely unexplored.

Hard X-ray and Soft Gamma Ray Polarimetry with CdTe/CZT Spectro-Imager

Galaxies, 2018
CdTe/CZT based spectroscopic two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) imagers when operated in the Compton regime can work as high performance scattering polarimeters, for high-energy astrophysics.

Constraining the neutron star equation of state using Pulse Profile Modeling [PDF]

, 2019
One very promising technique for measuring the dense matter Equation of State exploits hotspots that form on the neutron star surface due to the pulsar mechanism, accretion streams, or during thermonuclear explosions in the neutron star ocean.

Spatiotemporally Resolved Orbital Hall Effect in a Topological Semimetal

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 4, 16 January 2026.
Real‐space mapping of orbital angular momentum (OAM) transport is achieved using contact‐free polarimetric terahertz spectroscopy. This principle is applied to the topological semimetal Td‐WTe2, revealing the spatial separation of electrons into two distinct regions characterized by opposite out‐of‐plane OAM (±Lz).

XL-Calibur Polarimetry of Cyg X-1 Further Constrains the Origin of Its Hard-state X-Ray Emission

The Astrophysical Journal
The balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission XL-Calibur observed the black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) Cygnus X-1 (Cyg X-1) during its nearly 6 day long-duration balloon flight from Sweden to Canada in 2024 July.

Spin Matters: A Multidisciplinary Roadmap to Understanding Spin Effects in Oxygen Evolution Reaction During Water Electrolysis

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 16, Issue 4, 28 January 2026.
This roadmap offers a forward‐looking perspective on spin enhancement in the oxygen evolution reaction. It highlights how combining systematic experiments, advanced computational modeling, and novel magnetic, chiral, or hybrid materials can deepen the understanding of spin‐dependent catalytic mechanisms.
