description: The competition between staggered imaginary potentials and lattice dimerization results in a unidirectional propagating coalescing state of a non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) ring at an exceptional point. A segment of the SSH ring inherits the unidirectional feature and exhibits some intriguing dynamic behaviors when it is embedded in a Hermitian chain as a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric scattering center. Based on the Bethe ansatz scattering solution for the interface between Hermitian and non-Hermitian regions, we show that the SSH scattering center supports the following wave-packet dynamics. (i) A left incident wave packet is allowed perfect transmission, while a right incident wave packet stimulates an amplified reflecting wave train with the length proportional to the size of the SSH segment. Accordingly, a unidirectional invisibility of Bragg scatterers is observed when a multi-SSH segment is considered. (ii) A left incident wave packet can be well confined in a SSH segment if the right lead is removed. (iii) In addition, a wave packet is perfectly absorbed when its size closes to the length of the SSH segment. The underlying mechanism stems from a subtle property of the SSH segment, which supports two quasicoalescing wave packets but with opposite group velocities. Our findings are applicable to the schemes of realizing quantum state storage, quantum diode, and lasing device.

description: In this short paper I present the results of a calculation which seeks the maximum, or optimal, signal-to-noise energy band for galaxy group or cluster X-ray emission detected by the Chandra and XMM-Newton observatories. Using a background spectrum derived from observations and a grid of models I show that the "classical" 0.5-2 keV band is indeed close to optimal for clusters with gas temperatures >2 keV, and redshifts z<1. For cooler systems however, this band is generally far from optimal. Sub-keV plasmas can suffer 20-60% signal-to-noise loss compared to an optimal band, and worse for z>0. The implication is that current and forthcoming surveys should be carefully constructed in order to minimize bias against the low mass, low temperature end of the cluster/group population.

description: A discernible gap between economic and legal valuation of environment has been revealed by materials brought before specialist environmental courts worldwide. While economic valuations have a significant role in quantifying environmental harms, the literature available on methods and legal tools adopted by courts to this end is scant. This vacuum also signifies a failure to capture non-monetised social valuation of environment resources that is of critical interest within the framework of environmental justice. Interesting departures from conventional decisions, such as Garrett v Williams that ordered restorative justice for aspects of environmental damage which monetary damages failed to address, signify potential for accommodating non-use values in legal discourse. The thesis will examine the claims made by a wide range of petitioners, including indigenous communities, to understand the nature of evidence and quantification of damage brought in support of their claims before operationally independent environmental courts of New Zealand and Australia. The thesis will then look at the outcome of litigations to examine the final methodology adopted, which may betray the valuation that has been most favoured. The emphasis would also be on the text of the decisions that attempt to answer deeply political and ideological questions of assessment of environment, economic or otherwise, keeping in mind the overarching principles of environmental rule of law.

description: The angular momentum compensation temperature $T_{\rm A}$ of ferrimagnets has attracted much attention because of high-speed magnetic dynamics near $T_{\rm A}$. We show that NMR can be used to investigate domain wall dynamics near $T_{\rm A}$ in ferrimagnets. We performed $^{57}$Fe-NMR measurements on the ferrimagnet Ho$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ with $T_{\rm A} = 245$ K. In a multi-domain state, the NMR signal is enhanced by domain wall motion. We found that the NMR signal enhancement shows a maximum at $T_{\rm A}$ in the multi-domain state. The NMR signal enhancement occurs due to increasing domain-wall mobility toward $T_{\rm A}$. We develop the NMR signal enhancement model involves domain-wall mobility. Our study shows that NMR in multi-domain state is a powerful tool to determine $T_{\rm A}$, even from a powder sample and it expands the possibility of searching for angular momentum-compensated materials.

description: We present high S/N integrated spectra of 24 star clusters in the LMC obtained using the FLAIR spectrograph at the UK Schmidt. The spectra have been placed onto the Lick/IDS system in order to test the calibration of Simple Stellar Population (SSP) models. We have compared the SSP-predicted metallicities of the clusters with literature Ca-Triplet values, and find that there is good agreement in the range --2.10 < [Fe/H] < 0. However, the magnesium indices systematically predict higher metallicities than iron, among the possible explanations for this are that the LMC clusters possess [alpha/Fe] > 0. We present metallicities for 11 clusters with no previous measurements. Comparison of the SSP ages of the clusters (from Balmer lines) with the literature data shows good agreement for the majority. This includes six old globular clusters in our sample, which have ages consistent with their HST CMD turn-offs. However, two clusters, NGC 1754 and NGC 2005, have Hbeta line-strengths which lead to ages which are too young (~8 and ~6 Gyr respectively at 3 sigma) for their HST CMDs. Comparison between the horizontal branch (HB) morphology and Balmer lines of these clusters suggests that blue HBs have increased their Balmer indices by up to ~1.0 angstrom. We conclude that the Lick/IDS indices, used in conjunction with contemporary SSP models, are able to reproduce the ages and metallicities of the LMC clusters reassuringly well. However, SSP model ages derived for metal-poor globular clusters are ambiguous without a priori knowledge of HB morphology (abridged).

description: Identifying jets formed in high-energy particle collisions requires solving optimization problems over potentially large numbers of final-state particles. In this work, we consider the possibility of using quantum computers to speed up jet clustering algorithms. Focusing on the case of electron-positron collisions, we consider a well-known event shape called thrust whose optimum corresponds to the most jet-like separating plane among a set of particles, thereby defining two hemisphere jets. We show how to formulate thrust both as a quantum annealing problem and as a Grover search problem. A key component of our analysis is the consideration of realistic models for interfacing classical data with a quantum algorithm. With a sequential computing model, we show how to speed up the well-known O(N^3) classical algorithm to an O(N^2) quantum algorithm, including the O(N) overhead of loading classical data from N final-state particles. Along the way, we also identify a way to speed up the classical algorithm to O(N^2 log N) using a sorting strategy inspired by the SISCone jet algorithm, which has no natural quantum counterpart. With a parallel computing model, we achieve O(N log N) scaling in both the classical and quantum cases. Finally, we consider the generalization of these quantum methods to other jet algorithms more closely related to those used for proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.

description: ABSTRACT Financial inclusion in Rwanda: examining policy implementation and impact on community and household lives The research question asks: “Is the policy for financial inclusion in Rwanda explicit, appropriate and effective?” The Government of Rwanda targets ‘financial inclusion’ for 80% of the population of Rwanda by 2017. The study considers what financial inclusion means, how policy has captured it, and whether policy implementation reaches the grassroots – and with what effect. Chapter 1 introduces the research study. Chapter 2 gives background to Rwanda’s development, the strategic policy cycle and planning processes, the accessibility of policy detail, and the aspiration for economic transformation to be a ‘middle income’ country by 2020. Professionalising public service, and the role of Rwanda’s leadership are considered, as are Rwanda’s demographic challenges. Chapter 3 reviews literature relevant to Rwanda’s development and to financial inclusion in development. It explores the ‘livelihoods’ analytic framework. Chapter 4 outlines methods and methodological approaches to this study. A ‘grounded theory’ approach is used and a mixed methods approach is applied to the data. The four data chapters (Chapters 5, 6 7, and 8) draw on voices of people involved in financial inclusion policy. In Chapter 5, villagers speak, via a household survey, about good things in their lives, challenges they face, and their actual livelihood activities. They explain their engagement with financial services, and discuss the role of asset ownership. In Chapter 6 senior policy makers speak of vision and pragmatism in financial inclusion policy, and their own rationale for supporting the policy. Chapter 7 focuses on voices at the mid-level of implementation: District level civil servants, cooperative managers, branch bank-managers. All describe challenges and achievements, explaining their personal route to this career position. Chapter 8 returns to grassroots, hearing voices of farmers (in groups and individually), using real lives to show impacts and limitations of the policy. Chapter 9 draws conclusions from the study: the impact of the policy for financial inclusion; the role of central and local leadership; the wider insights allowed into the nature of inclusive development; and the significance of Rwanda’s ‘Home Grown Solutions’. The study proposes a wider use of the livelihoods analytical framework as an aid to understanding transformation at diverse levels in development.

(Leiodidae, Abb. 3–5) und P. medius (REY, 1889) wurden in der Literatur lange unterschiedlich interpretiert, was die Deutung faunistischer Meldungen ohne Nachprüfung der Belegexemplare heute meist unmöglich macht. Beschrieben als distinkte Arten, wurden beide Taxa als Subspezies einer Art (JEANNEL 1934: 169), valide Arten (SZYMCZAKOWSKI 1971: 207) oder als Synonyme unter dem prioritären Namen P. sericatus (ZWICK 1989: 101) aufgefasst. Taxonomische Stabilität erbrachte erst in jüngster Zeit die Revision von SCHILTHUIZEN et al. (2020), die beide Arten genitalmorphologisch und genetisch unterschieden und einen Lectotypus für P. medius und einen Neotypus für P. sericatus designierten. Nach SCHILTHUIZEN et al. (2020: 6) hat P. sericatus einen mittel- und osteuropäischen und P. medius einen west- und nordeuropäischen Verbreitungsschwerpunkt, wobei beide Arten in Mitteleuropa sympatrisch vorkommen. In Deutschland ist P. medius offenbar die weitaus häufigere Art (vgl. BLEICH et al. 2021). Auch die von ZWICK (1983: 65, 66) aus Hessen als P. medius gemeldeten Funde dürften dieser Art zuzuordnen sein, wie die Genitalabbildung in ZWICK (1989: 100), die dem Aedeagus von P. medius in SCHILTHUIZEN et al. (2020: 12) entspricht, nahe legt. Die im Sinne der Synonymisierung durch ZWICK (1989: 101) unter dem Namen P. sericatus vom Haimberg gemeldeten Exemplare (FRISCH 2019: 109) gehören ebenfalls P. medius an. Erst im Rahmen der Gemeinschaftsexkursion der Arbeitsgemeinschaft der hessischen Koleopterologen zum Haimberg am 29.05.2021 gelang ALEXANDER SCHNEIDER, Weiterstadt, der erste sichere Fund des P. sericatus in Hessen. Am südlichen Waldrand oberhalb der Steilwand des unverfüllt verbliebenen Teils des Kalksteinbruchs siebte er ein ♂ (det. SCHNEIDER, vid. LANGE) der saprophilen Art aus mit Totholz durchsetzter Laubstreu (Abb. 3–5). In Deutschland wurde die Art nach BLEICH et al. (2021) bislang nur von wenigen Fundorten in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Unterfranken und dem östlichen Sachsen bekannt.

description: Wee1-like protein kinase (Wee1) is a tyrosine kinase that regulates the G2 checkpoint and prevents entry into mitosis in response to DNA damage. Based on a series of signaling pathways initiated by Wee1, Wee1 has been recognized as a potential target for cancer therapy. To discover potent Wee1 inhibitors with novel scaffolds, ligand-based pharmacophore model has been built based on 101 known Wee1 inhibitors. Then the best pharmacophore model, AADRRR.340, with good partial least square (PLS) statistics (R2 = 0.9212, Q2 = 0.7457), was selected and validated. The validated model was used as a three-dimensional (3D) search query for databases virtual screening. The filtered molecules were further analyzed and refined by Lipinski’s rule of 5, multiple docking procedures (high throughput virtual screening (HTVS), standard precision (SP), genetic optimization for ligand docking (GOLD), extra precision (XP), and unique quantum polarized ligand docking (QPLD)); absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) screening; and the Prime/molecular mechanics generalized born surface area (MM-GBSA) method binding free energy calculations. Eight leads were identified as potential Wee1 inhibitors, and a 50 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried out for top four inhibitors to predict the stability of ligand–protein complex. Molecular mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) based on MD simulation and the energy contribution per residue to the binding energy were calculated. In the end, three hits with good stabilization and affinity to protein were identified. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: The study of restaurant acceptance of dehydrofrozen peas was undertaken to determine their adaptability to preparation procedures used by restaurants. Dehydrofrozen peas are peas dehydrated to about 50 percent of their fresh weight and then frozen and packaged by the same process as regular frozen peas. Dehydrofrozen peas require a package only about half the size needed to pack the equivalent volume of regular frozen peas. Direct results of these reductions in volume and weight are substantial savings in freezing, packaging, transportation, storage, and other handling and distribution costs. The study was conducted in Milwaukee, Wis. One hundred restaurants were selected as representative of the restaurant trade in the test area. The study was conducted from October 1956 to January 1957. Each restaurant was furnished, free of charge, with a supply of dehydrofrozen peas equivalent to its average weekly servings of peas. Restaurant operators found that dehydrofrozen peas compare favorably with frozen peas in ease of preparation and cooking. In comparing them with canned peas, more than half of the restaurant operators considered dehydrofrozen peas as easy to prepare.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The debate on the problems of light-delivery rider work and, more in general, of the work in the gig economy, is rich and extensive. The problems posed to the interpretation of these increasingly relevant phenomena are numerous and exposed to changes both on the supply and demand side. However, they can be traced back to the configuration of the subjects at work, of the work activity, of the enterprises involved. This ebook presents contributions addressing these issues from different disciplinary points of view. The proposed interpretations allow useful comparisons and may constitute the beginning of a broader and more articulated discussion.

The HYP potential agrees with the potential measured using thin links for distances r/a>=2. We calculated the lowest order perturbative expansion of the lattice Coulomb potential of HYP links. These results are used in analyzing the static potential both on quenched and dynamical lattices. The statistical accuracy of the potential with HYP links improves by about an order of magnitude, giving a reliable scale even with limited statistics both on quenched and dynamical lattices.

description: Ocean submesoscales are the subject of increasing focus in the oceanographic literature; with instrumentation now more capable of observing them in situ and numerical models now able to reach the resolution required to more fully capture them. Submesoscales are typified by horizontal spatial scales of O(1 − 10) km, vertical scales O(100) m and time-scales of O(1) day and are known to be associated with regions of high vertical velocity and vorticity. Occurring most commonly at density fronts at the ocean surface they can control mixed layer restratification and provide an important control on fluxes between the atmosphere and the deep ocean. This thesis sets out to better understand the fundamental physical processes underpinning submesoscale instabilities using a number of idealised process models. Linear stability analysis complemented by non-linear, high-resolution simulations will be used initially to explore the ways in which submesoscale instabilities in the mixed layer may compete and interact with one another. In particular, we will investigate the way in which symmetric and ageostrophic baroclinic instabilities interact when simultaneously present in a flow, with focus on the growth rates and energetic pathways of previously unexplored dynamic instabilities that arise in this paradigm; three-dimensional, mixed symmetric-baroclinic instabilities. Further, these non-linear simulations will allow us to investigate the transition to dissipative scales that can occur in the classical Eady model via a multitude of small-scale secondary instabilities that result from primary submesoscale instabilities. Finally, observational data, taken aboard the SMILES project cruise to the Southern Ocean, helps to motivate the consideration of a new dynamical paradigm; the Eady model with superimposed high amplitude barotropic jet. Non-linear simulations investigate the extent to which the addition of such a jet is capable of damping submesoscale growth. The causes of this damping are then investigated using linear analysis. With this approach eventually demonstrated as being unable to fully explain growth rate reductions, we introduce a new framework combining potential vorticity mixing by submesoscale instabilities with geostrophic adjustment, which relaxes the flow back to a geostrophic balanced state. This framework will help to explain, conceptually, how non-linear eddies control the linear stability of the flow.

description: Il presente lavoro è strettamente collegato ad un precedente lavoro [1], nel quale, dallo studio del vano di una torre per la difesa del castello dell’Eurialo di Siracusa, si è risaliti alle dimensioni della balista ivi montata. Studiando questa macchina, dall’esame critico degli scritti di Filone si arriva qui ad attribuire ad Archimede, o alla grande svolta determinata dal suo pensiero, l’impostazione matematica e l’impiego della famosa equazione cubica che ne definisce il dimensionamento. Da una progettazione per tentativi si passa ad una progettazione che cerca di inserire la fisica della macchina e di imbrigliarla con una relazione matematica. Lo studio si articola attraverso i filoni di pensiero fino ad allora percorsi. Vengono così considerati: la costruzione per similitudine e il successivo impiego del modulo, elemento cardine che ne semplifica la realizzazione, la legge della leva come base della progettazione delle macchine. La determinazione del diametro dei fasci elastici viene qui vista come elemento di sintesi del pensiero precedente che parte dal peso della palla da lanciare, passa attraverso la determinazione del volume e del peso specifico del materiale impiegato, per arrivare a definire il diametro della palla e quindi il modulo.

description: This study investigates the determinants of marketing contract choices and the related impact on farm net returns of apple farmers in China. We employ a two-stage selection correction approach (BFG) for the multinomial logit model. On the basis of the BFG estimation, we also use an endogenous switching regression model and a propensity score matching technique to estimate the causal effects of marketing contract choices on net returns. The empirical results reveal that written contracts increase apple Farmers’ net returns，while oral contracts exert an opposite impact.

description: MAX phases are a family of layered, hexagonal-structure ternary carbides or nitrides of a transitional metal and an A-group element. What makes this type of material fascinating and potentially useful is their remarkable combinations of metallic and ceramic characteristics; as well as the indispensable role in 'top-down' synthesis of their 2D counterparts, MXenes. To enhance the efficiency in the successful search for potential novel MAX phases, the main efforts could go toward creating an informationprediction system incorporating all MAX phases' databases, as well as generally valid principles and the high-quality regularities. In this work, we employ structure mapping methodology, which has shown its merit of being useful guides in materials design, with Hume-Rothery parameters to provide guiding principles in the search of novel MAX phases. The formable/non-formable data on MAX phases can be ordered within a twodimensional plot by using proposed expression of geometrical and electron concentration factors.

description: The reliability of the approximations commonly adopted in the calculation of static optical (hyper)polarizabilities is tested against exact results obtained for an interesting toy-model. The model accounts for the principal features of typical nonlinear organic materials with mobile electrons strongly coupled to molecular vibrations. The approximations introduced in sum over states and finite field schemes are analyzed in detail. Both the Born-Oppenheimer and the clamped nucleus approximations turn out to be safe for molecules, whereas for donor-acceptor charge transfer complexes deviations from adiabaticity are expected. In the regime of low vibrational frequency, static susceptibilities are strongly dominated by the successive derivatives of the potential energy and large vibrational contributions to hyperpolarizabilities are found. In this regime anharmonic corrections to hyperpolarizabilities are very large, and the harmonic approximation, exact for the linear polarizability, turns out totally inadequate for nonlinear responses. With increasing phonon frequency the role of vibrations smoothly decreases, until, in the antiadiabatic (infinite vibrational frequency) regime, vibrations do not contribute anymore to static susceptibilities, and the purely electronic responses are regained.

Characterisation of human metabolism in physiological and pathophysiological states

Subjects: Resting energy expenditure
Body composition
Metabolic disease

description: The aim of this thesis was to describe the relationships between energy expenditure and body composition in healthy adults and children and in patients with metabolic disorders. In a healthy population resting energy expenditure (REE) is highly influenced by body composition, specifically lean mass (LM). Prediction equations can therefore accurately predict REE from body composition in healthy individuals. However, application of these equations to clinical patients, in whom metabolism is disordered, risks miscalculation of energy metabolism due to their dissociation between body composition and energy expenditure. Therefore new prediction equations were derived based on precise body composition measurements in healthy adults and children. Then, in patients with metabolic disorders, differences between their measured and equation-predicted REE and LM were presented as standardised Z scores. REE in healthy adults was predicted by the coefficients: age, fat mass and fat-free mass. LM in healthy adults was predicted by the coefficients: bone mineral content and height2 in men; and by fat and height2 in women. In healthy children, REE was predicted using gender specific models: by fat and LM in boys; and by solely LM in girls. REE and LM were then measured in adult and paediatric patients with metabolic disorders (Lipodystrophy, Thyrotoxicosis and Resistance to Thyroid Hormone β or α), and Z scores were calculated to highlight their deviations from the healthy populations. In adults, thyrotoxicosis patients displayed the highest REE Z scores (5.8), followed by lipodystrophy (2.9) and RTHβ cases (1.8), with RTHα demonstrating the lowest REE Z scores (-2.3). For LM, lipodystrophy patients exhibited with the highest Z scores (4.2), followed by RTHα patients (2.1), with RTHβ patients showing normal LM Z scores (-0.2) and thyrotoxicosis patients presenting with the lowest LM Z scores (-1.2). In the paediatric patients, RTHβ patients demonstrated REE Z scores similar to healthy controls (males; -0.15, females; 0.15), but RTHα patients displayed lower REE Z scores (male; -0.82, female; -2.2) compared to RTHβ patients and healthy controls. These studies highlight the disassociation between REE and body composition in patients with metabolic disorders. The application of a prediction equation for REE to calculate Z scores between measured and predicted values allows quantification of the differences between patients with metabolic disorders and healthy populations, and is a new and important concept.

description: We develop a practical methodology for producers to estimate the optimal harvest time of live animals. We incorporate nonlinear dynamic growth functions into the producer’s objective function. Currently, the cattle industry objective is to produce a constant carcass end-point quality. We find significant increases in profitability using our methodology.

description: Sustainable energy supply and environmental protection are the major global scientific challenges in the 21st century, such as greenhouse gas capture, natural gas production, desalination of seawater for clean water production. Membrane separation technology offers attractive energy-efficient and environmental-friendly solutions to these challenges. This PhD thesis is focused on design and fabrication of membranes from novel molecularly defined polymers and understanding their physical properties, particularly the transport properties of gas molecules in polymer membranes. First, we demonstrate a simple approach of fabricating novel polymer nanocomposite membranes using established colloidal science. Crystalline microporous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) nanocrystals are incorporated into a polyimide polymer matrix via solution mixing. The resulting nanocomposite membranes show excellent dispersion of nanoparticles, good adhesion at the interface, and enhanced gas permeability while the selectivity remain at high level. We then fabricated membranes from novel microporous polymers, polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs). Using the PIM-1 polymer as a prototype, we discovered that ultraviolet irradiation of PIM-1 membranes in the presence of oxygen induces oxidative chain scission at the surface, resulting in local densification and structural transformation of free volume elements. Consequently, the membrane become asymmetric with a more gas-selective layer formed at the surface, while the overall permeability maintains at high level. Finally, we report a simple thermal oxidative crosslinking method to tailor the architecture of channels and free volume elements in PIM-1 polymer membrane by heat treatment in the presence of trace amounts of oxygen molecules. The resulting covalently crosslinked polymer networks offer superior thermal stability, chemical stability, reasonable mechanical strength, and enhanced rigidity. Most important of all, thermally crosslinked PIM-1 polymer membranes show significantly enhanced molecular sieving functions that yield remarkably high selectivity and high gas permeability, which surpass the upper bound that has been limiting the polymer membranes for decades. We also demonstrate that the thermal crosslinking method is effective for crosslinking of nanocomposite membranes with porous or nonporous fillers. These microporous molecular sieve membranes are promising for a wide range of molecular-level separation applications.

description: Assuming 3-neutrino mixing and massive Majorana neutrinos, we analyze the possibility of establishing the existence of CP-violation associated with Majorana neutrinos in the lepton sector i) by measuring of the effective Majorana mass || in neutrinoless double beta-decay with a sufficient precision and ii) by measuring of, or obtaining a stringent upper limit on, the lightest neutrino mass m1. Information on m1 can be obtained in the tritium beta decay experiment KATRIN and from astrophysical and cosmological observations. Proving that the indicated CP-violation takes place requires, in particular, a relative experimental error on the measured value of || not bigger than 20 %, a ``theoretical uncertainty'' in the value of || due to an imprecise knowledge of the corresponding nuclear matrix elements smaller than a factor of 2, a value of tan^2 theta_(solar) larger than 0.55, and values of the relevant Majorana CP-violating phases typically within the intervals of (Pi/2 - 3 Pi/4) and (5Pi/4 - 3Pi/2).

description: Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) are the fundamental building blocks for technology such as magnetic random access memory (MRAM) and hard disk drives (HDD). MTJs store information in form of magnetization direction of its recording layer with respect to its reference layer. The process through which magnetization reversal can be achieved is thus fundamental and of great interest for MRAM technology. Magnetization switching can be achieved for example using a magnetic field, spin-transfer torque or by spin-orbit torque. The first commercially available MRAM were based on switching the MTJs with magnetic fields. Due to architectural and energy concerns with field driven operations it was difficult to meet the demand of ever increasing computational needs. The discovery of spin transfer torque (STT) in 1996 led to a surge in research and development of STT based memory that later became a mainstream technology. MRAM based on STT technology were commercially available around 2006. However, the need of large current densities ~106 A/cm2 to perform read and write operations resulted in significant heat dissipation for high bit densities and with bit sizes less than 50 nanometers. This still continues to impede the development of STT based MRAM technology for future computational needs. The MRAM technology is still evolving, and new phenomenology and materials are been extensively explored by industries, universities and research institutes across the globe. In this thesis I present the experimental study of device level physics on patterned magnetic tunnel junctions that are less than 100 nm in size. In Chapter 1, I describe the technique of Conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) which is central to the research presented in this thesis. C-AFM provides with a sharp conductive probe (~20 nm tip radius of curvature) that can allow for electrical measurements on nano-size devices that otherwise need complicated interconnects. The C-AFM accelerates research at prototype state by eliminating the need of hardwiring the nanoscale devices.
