description: We have performed studies of the 3D random field $XY$ model on 32 samples of $L \times L \times L$ simple cubic lattices with periodic boundary conditions, with a random field strength of $h_r$ = 1.5, for $L =$ 128, using a parallelized Monte Carlo algorithm. We present results for the sample-averaged magnetic structure factor, $S (\vec{\bf k})$ over a range of temperature, using both random hot start and ferromagnetic cold start initial states, and $\vec{\bf k}$ along the [1,0,0] and [1,1,1] directions. At $T =$ 1.875, $S (\vec{\bf k})$ shows a broad peak near $|\vec{\bf k}| = 0$, with a correlation length which is limited by thermal fluctuations, rather than the lattice size. As $T$ is lowered, this peak grows and sharpens. By $T =$ 1.5, it is clear that the correlation length is larger than $L =$ 128. The lowest temperature for which $S (\vec{\bf k})$ was calculated is $T =$ 1.421875, where the hot start and cold start initial conditions are usually not finding the same local minimum in the phase space. Our results are consistent with the idea that there is a finite value of $T$ below which $S (\vec{\bf k})$ diverges slowly as $|\vec{\bf k}|$ goes to zero. This divergence would imply that the relaxation time of the spins is also diverging. That is the signature of an ergodicity-breaking phase transition.

This device, which is the analogue of a symmetric superconducting quantum interference device, is the simplest version of what we term an Atomic-Phase Interference Device (APHID). The two-ring APHID is shown to be sensitive to rotation.

description: Macroautophagy/autophagy is a conserved process in eukaryotes that contributes to cell survival in response to stress. Previously, we found that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induces autophagy in plants via a pathway dependent upon AT5G24360/IRE1B (INOSITOL REQUIRING 1–1), an ER membrane-anchored factor involved in the splicing of AT1G42990/BZIP60 (basic leucine zipper protein 60) mRNA. IRE1B is a dual protein kinase and ribonuclease, and here we determined the involvement of the protein kinase catalytic domain, nucleotide binding and RNase domains of IRE1B in activating autophagy. We found that the nucleotide binding and RNase activity of IRE1B, but not its protein kinase activity or splicing target BZIP60, are required for ER stress-mediated autophagy. Upon ER stress, the RNase activity of IRE1B engages in regulated IRE1-dependent decay of messenger RNA (RIDD), in which mRNAs of secreted proteins are degraded by IRE1 upon ER stress. Twelve genes most highly targeted by RIDD were tested for their role in inhibiting ER stress-induced autophagy, and 3 of their encoded proteins, AT1G66270/BGLU21 (β-glucosidase 21), AT2G16005/ROSY1/ML (MD2-related lipid recognition protein) and AT5G01870/PR-14 (pathogenesis-related protein 14), were found to inhibit autophagy upon overexpression. From these findings, IRE1B is posited to be a ‘licensing factor’ linking ER stress to autophagy by degrading the RNA transcripts of factors that interfere with the induction of autophagy.

description: Gfi1 is a key molecule in hematopoietic lineage development and mutations in GFI1 cause severe congenital neutropenia (SCN). Neutropenia is associated with low bone mass, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly characterized. Using Gfi1 knock-out mice (Gfil-ko/ko) as SCN model, we studied the relationship between neutropenia and bone mass upon different pathogen load conditions. Our analysis reveals that Gfil-ko/ko mice kept under strict specific pathogen free (SPF) conditions demonstrate normal bone mass and survival. However, Gfil-ko/ko mice with early (nonSPF) or late (SPF+nonSPF) pathogen exposure develop low bone mass. Gfil-ko/ko mice demonstrate a striking rise of systemic inflammatory markers according to elevated pathogen exposure and reduced bone mass. Elevated inflammatory cytokines include for instance 11-1b, 11-6, and Tnf-alpha that regulate osteoclast development. We conclude that low bone mass, due to low neutrophil counts, is caused by the degree of systemic inflammation promoting osteoclastogenesis.

description: The intrinsic correlations of galaxy shapes and orientations across the large-scale structure of the Universe are a known contaminant to weak gravitational lensing. They are known to be dependent on galaxy properties, such as their mass and morphologies. The complex interplay between alignments and the physical processes that drive galaxy evolution remains vastly unexplored. We assess the sensitivity of intrinsic alignments (shapes and angular momenta) to Active Galactic Nuclei -AGN- feedback by comparing galaxy alignment in twin runs of the cosmological hydrodynamical Horizon simulation, which do and do not include AGN feedback respectively. We measure intrinsic alignments in three dimensions and in projection at z=0 and z=1. We find that the projected alignment signal of all galaxies with resolved shapes with respect to the density field in the simulation is robust to AGN feedback, thus giving similar predictions for contamination to weak lensing. The relative alignment of galaxy shapes around galaxy positions is however significantly impacted, especially when considering high-mass ellipsoids. Using a sample of galaxy "twins" across simulations, we determine that AGN changes both the galaxy selection and their actual alignments. Finally, we measure the alignments of angular momenta of galaxies with their nearest filament. Overall, these are more significant in the presence of AGN as a result of the higher abundance of massive pressure-supported galaxies.

description: We set out to investigate whether beta oscillations in the human basal ganglia are modulated during reinforcement learning. Based on previous research, we assumed that beta activity might either reflect the magnitudes of individuals' received reinforcements (reinforcement hypothesis), their reinforcement prediction errors (dopamine hypothesis) or their tendencies to repeat versus adapt responses based upon reinforcements (status-quo hypothesis). We tested these hypotheses by recording local field potentials (LFPs) from the subthalamic nuclei of 19 Parkinson's disease patients engaged in a reinforcement-learning paradigm. We then correlated patients' reinforcement magnitudes, reinforcement prediction errors and response repetition tendencies with task-related power changes in their LFP oscillations. During feedback presentation, activity in the frequency range of 14 to 27 Hz (beta spectrum) correlated positively with reinforcement magnitudes. During responding, alpha and low beta activity (6 to 18 Hz) was negatively correlated with previous reinforcement magnitudes. Reinforcement prediction errors and response repetition tendencies did not correlate significantly with LFP oscillations. These results suggest that alpha and beta oscillations during reinforcement learning reflect patients' observed reinforcement magnitudes, rather than their reinforcement prediction errors or their tendencies to repeat versus adapt their responses, arguing both against an involvement of phasic dopamine and against applicability of the status-quo theory.
Statistical hadronisation model and transverse momentum spectra of hadrons in high energy collisions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: A detailed analysis of transverse momentum spectra of several identified hadrons in high energy collisions within the canonical framework of the statistical model of hadronisation is performed. The study of particle momentum spectra requires an extension of the statistical model formalism used to handle particle multiplicities, which is described in detail starting from a microcanonical treatment of single hadronising clusters. Also, a new treatment of extra strangeness suppression is presented which is based on the enforcement of fixed numbers of ssbar pairs in the primary hadrons. The considered centre-of-mass energies range from ~ 10 to 30 GeV in hadronic collisions (pion-p, pp and Kp) and from ~ 15 to 35 GeV in e+e- collisions. The effect of the decay chain following hadron generation is accurately and exhaustively taken into account by a newly proposed numerical method. The exact p_T conservation at low energy and the increasing hard parton emission at high energy bound the validity of the presently taken approach within a limited centre-of-mass energy range. However, within this region, a clear consistency is found between the temperature parameter extracted from the present analysis and that obtained from fits to average hadron multiplicities in the same collision systems. This finding indicates that in the hadronisation process the production of different particle species and their momentum spectra are two closely related phenomena governed by one parameter.

description: Reducing the bit-depth is an effective approach to lower the cost of optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems and increase the transmission efficiency in data acquisition and telemedicine. However, a low bit-depth will lead to the degeneration of the detection sensitivity thus reduce the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of OCT images. In this paper, we propose to use deep learning for the reconstruction of the high SNR OCT images from the low bit-depth acquisition. Its feasibility was preliminarily evaluated by applying the proposed method to the quantized $3\sim8$-bit data from native 12-bit interference fringes. We employed a pixel-to-pixel generative adversarial network architecture in the low to high bit-depth OCT image transition. Retinal OCT data of a healthy subject from a homemade spectral-domain OCT system was used in the study. Extensively qualitative and quantitative results show this deep-learning-based approach could significantly improve the SNR of the low bit-depth OCT images especially at the choroidal region. Superior similarity and SNR between the reconstructed images and the original 12-bit OCT images could be derived when the bit-depth $\geq 5$. This work demonstrates the proper integration of OCT and deep learning could benefit the development of healthcare in low-resource settings.

description: A discrimination of the highly specialised annulus fibrosus (AF) and nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in the mature human intervertebral disc (IVD) is thus far still not possible in a reliable way. The aim of this study was to identify molecular markers that distinguish AF and NP cells in human disc tissue using microarray analysis as a screening tool. AF and NP samples were obtained from 28 cervical discs. First, all samples underwent quality sorting using two novel scoring systems for small-sized disc tissue samples including macroscopic, haptic and histological evaluation. Subsequently, samples with clear disc characteristics of either AF or NP that were free from impurities of foreign tissue (IVD score) and with low signs of disc degeneration on cellular level (DD score) were selected for GeneChip analysis (HGU1332P). The 11 AF and 9 NP samples showed distinctly different genome-wide transcriptomes. The majority of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) could be specifically assigned to the AF, whereas no DEG was exclusively expressed in the NP. Nevertheless, we identified 11 novel marker genes that clearly distinguished AF and NP, as confirmed by quantitative gene expression analysis. The novel established scoring systems and molecular markers showed the identity of AF and NP in disc starting material and are thus of great importance in the quality assurance of cell-based therapeutics in regenerative treatment of disc degeneration.

description: Bladder cancer still requires improvements in diagnosis and prognosis, because many of the cases will recur and/or metastasize with bad outcomes. Despite ongoing research on bladder biomarkers, the clinicopathological impact and diagnostic function of miRNA maturation regulators Drosha and Argonaute proteins AGO1 and AGO2 in urothelial bladder carcinoma remain unclear. Therefore, we conducted immunohistochemical investigations of a tissue microarray composed of 112 urothelial bladder carcinomas from therapy-naive patients who underwent radical cystectomy or transurethral resection and compared the staining signal with adjacent normal bladder tissue. The correlations of protein expression of Drosha, AGO1 and AGO2 with sex, age, tumor stage, histological grading and overall survival were evaluated in order to identify their diagnostic and prognostic potential in urothelial cancer. Our results show an upregulation of AGO1, AGO2 and Drosha in non-muscle-invasive bladder carcinomas, while there was increased protein expression of only AGO2 in muscle-invasive bladder carcinomas. Moreover, we were able to differentiate between non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma according to AGO1 and Drosha expression. Finally, despite Drosha being a discriminating factor that can predict the probability of overall survival in the Kaplan-Meier analysis, AGO1 turned out to be independent of all clinicopathological parameters according to Cox regression. In conclusion, we assumed that the miRNA processing factors have clinical relevance as potential diagnostic and prognostic tools for bladder cancer.

description: Application of the absorbing boundary condition is discussed to analyse breakup reactions of weakly bound nuclei. The key ingredient is an introduction of the absorbing potential outside the physical area which simulates the outgoing boundary condition approximately. The scattering problem is then recasted into the Schroedinger like equation with a source term in the interaction region and with the vanishing boundary condition at the boundary. We demonstrate usefulness of the method taking a few examples. Deuteron breakup reactions are examined comparing present results with those by the continuum-discretized coupled-channel method. We next discuss the breakup reactions of single-neutron halo nucleus, 11Be.

The subsequent identification of phoenixin's expression in peripheral tissues was accompanied by the description of several other actions of this hormone, such as effects on behavior, sensory perception, memory retention, the cardiovascular system as well as food intake, pointing towards a pleiotropic role of this peptide. The present review will discuss the present knowledge on phoenixin and the signaling involved as well as highlight gaps in knowledge to stimulate further research.

description: Non-standard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter mediated by a scalar field would induce medium-dependent neutrino masses which can modify oscillation probabilities. Generating observable effects requires an ultra-light scalar mediator. We derive general expressions for the scalar NSI using techniques of quantum field theory at finite density and temperature, including the long-range force effects, and discuss various limiting cases applicable to the neutrino propagation in different media, such as the Earth, Sun, supernovae and early Universe. We also analyze various terrestrial and space-based experimental constraints, as well as astrophysical and cosmological constraints on these NSI parameters, applicable to either Dirac or Majorana neutrinos. By combining all these constraints, we show that observable scalar NSI effects, although precluded in terrestrial experiments, are still possible in future solar and supernovae neutrino data, and in cosmological observations such as cosmic microwave background and big bang nucleosynthesis data.

description: The lowest order quantum corrections to the effective action arising from quantized massive fermion fields in the Randall-Sundrum background spacetime are computed. The boundary conditions and their relation with gauge invariance are examined in detail. The possibility of Wilson loop symmetry breaking in brane models is also analysed. The self-consistency requirements, previously considered in the case of a quantized bulk scalar field, are extended to include the contribution from massive fermions. It is shown that in this case it is possible to stabilize the radius of the extra dimensions but it is not possible to simultaneously solve the hierarchy problem, unless the brane tensions are dramatically fine tuned, supporting previous claims.

description: On the example of the Poynting-Thomson-Zener rheological model for solids, which exhibits both dissipation and wave propagation - with nonlinear dispersion relation -, we introduce and investigate a finite difference numerical scheme. Our goal is to demonstrate its properties and to ease the computations in later applications for continuum thermodynamical problems. The key element is the positioning of the discretized quantities with shifts by half space and time steps with respect to each other. The arrangement is chosen according to the spacetime properties of the quantities and of the equations governing them. Numerical stability, dissipative error and dispersive error are analysed in detail. With the best settings found, the scheme is capable of making precise and fast predictions. Finally, the proposed scheme is compared to a commercial finite element software, COMSOL, which demonstrates essential differences even on the simplest - elastic - level of modelling.

 Synonymy. None.
 Description. Kuoh (Ge 1992): “The vertex of the head as long as breadth between eyes or shorter, nail shape, the body above densely covered [with] granules as rough as sandpaper, the veins of tegmina radialized towards the apex, especially in the process of pygofer which differs from Petalocephala and the shape of the aedeagus and styli differs from both of them [Petalocephala and Latycephala].”
 Species. [4]: nigrifrons Kuoh; nigrimaculata Kuoh; ochracea Kuoh; tubularis Cai & Sun.
 Range. China (Lushui, Yunnan, Weixi).
 Host plants. Unknown.
 Material examined. None.
 Remarks. The type specimen of Arenoledra nigrimaculata, which was not made available for this study, appears to be located in either the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Academica Sinica), Beijing, or in Anhui Agricultural College, Anhui, China (Ge 1992). Based on Kuoh’s description of the genus and drawings of A. nigrimaculata, the exact phylogenetic placement of this genus is uncertain, but it appears to be very similar to Midoria and Latycephala. All three genera may be proximate to Hangklipia or Parapetalocephala (Kuoh stated that Arenoledra was between Petalocephala and Platycephala [= Latycephala McKamey]). A 2004 collecting expedition in Taiwan in which the first author participated (organized by C. H. Dietrich, INHS, and host M. M. Yang, Chung Hsing University, Taichung) yielded a few specimens resembling Arenoledra, and a number of specimens borrowed from the TARI and NMNS collections vaguely resemble Kuoh’s illustrations, but it will be necessary to examine his type material in order to make a positive identification. These specimens ultimately were not included in the phylogenetic analysis.

description: Purpose: This study aimed to assess alcohol consumption and the occurrence of alcohol-related seizures in patients with epilepsy within the last 12 months. Methods: In an epilepsy outpatient clinic, a standardized questionnaire was used to collect data retrospectively from consecutive adult epilepsy patients who had been suffering from the disease for at least 1 year. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors. Results: A total of 310 patients with epilepsy were included. Of these, 204 subjects (65.8%) consumed alcohol within the last 12 months. Independent predictors for alcohol use were antiepileptic drug monotherapy (OR 1.901) and physicians' advice that a light alcohol intake is harmless (OR 4.102). Seizure worsening related to alcohol consumption was reported by 37 of the 204 patients (18.1%) who had used alcohol. All 37 subjects had consumed large quantities of alcohol prior to the occurrence of alcohol-related seizures regardless of their usual alcohol-drinking behavior. The amount of alcohol intake prior to alcohol-related seizures was at least 7 standard drinks, which is equivalent to 1.4 L of beer or 0.7 L of wine. In 95% of cases, alcohol-related seizures occurred within 12 h after cessation of alcohol intake. Independent predictors for alcohol-related seizures were generalized genetic epilepsy (OR 5.792) and chronic heavier alcohol use (OR 8.955). Conclusions: Two-thirds of interviewed subjects had consumed alcohol within the last 12 months. This finding may be an underestimate due to patients' self-reporting and recall error. In all cases, the occurrence of alcohol related-seizures was associated with timely consumption of considerably large amounts of alcohol. Thus, a responsible alcohol intake seems to be safe for most patients with epilepsy. However, subjects with epilepsy and especially those with generalized genetic epilepsy should be made aware of an increased risk for seizures related to heavy alcohol consumption. Factors accompanying acute heavy alcohol intake such as altered sleep architecture, impaired adherence to antiepileptic medication, and metabolic disturbances may further facilitate the occurrence of seizures.

description: The effects of $n$-type carrier doping by Li intercalation on magnetism in undoped and Co-doped anatase TiO$_2$ are investigated. We have found that doped $n$-type carriers in TiO$_2$ are localized mainly at Ti sites near the intercalated Li. With increasing the intercalation, local spins are realized at Ti. In the case of Co-doped TiO$_2$, most of the added $n$-type carriers fill the Co 3$d$ bands and the rest are localized at Ti. Therefore, Co magnetic moment vanishes by Li intercalation to have a nonmagnetic ground state.

description: We analytically compute subsystem action complexity for a segment in the BTZ black hole background up to the finite term, and we find that it is equal to the sum of a linearly divergent term proportional to the size of the subregion and of a term proportional to the entanglement entropy. This elegant structure does not survive to more complicated geometries: in the case of a two segments subregion in AdS$_3$, complexity has additional finite contributions. We give analytic results for the mutual action complexity of a two segments subregion.

description: Genus Beniledra Linnavuori
(Pl. 1A, 7G, 10H, 12B, 14A, 17E)
 Beniledra Linnavuori, 1972: 213.
 Type species. B. peculiaris Linnavuori, 1972: 214, fig. 5b, 8a–b, by original designation.
 Synonymy. None.
 Description. Linnavuori (1972): “Large brown leafhoppers. Body elongate, tapering caudad. Crown foliaceous, pentagonal, with lateral margins strongly diverging apicad in front of eyes, disk conspicuously elevated medially, flat laterally, irregularly microsculptured with longitudinal furrows and obsolete punctures, ocelli closer to each other than to eyes. Face strongly concave in upper part, lower portions flat, anteclypeus parallel-sided. Pronotum long, lateral margins long, parallel and carinate, anterior margin straight, basal margin strongly insinuated medially, disk densely punctate, swollen basally and medially, sloping apicad and laterad, lateral and apical margins flat. Elytra long, vertical, broadening apicad, apex truncate, apical margin shallowly concave, cells coriaceous and densely punctate, clavus and apical two-thirds of corium with numerous extra cross veins. Legs as in Petalocephala. Male genitalia: Pygophore dorsally incised to base, side lobes triangular, without appendages. Anal tubes tapering apicad, dorsal surface with a deep inverted Vshaped median notch. Genital plates sharply triangular. Stylus elongate, apophysis with a hook-shaped apex. Connective a small plate. Penis with long tubulous stem, gonopore subapical on the dorsal surface. Posterior margin of 7 th sternite [of female] undulate.”
 Species. [1]: peculiaris Linnavuori.
 Range. Angola (Singombe); Cameroon (Region du N’ten); Central African Republic [Republic of Central Africa] (Boukoko, La Maboke); Congo (Dimonika, Kivu); Democratic Republic of the Congo [Zaire] (Beni forest, Buma).
 Host plants. Nanniophytum africanum (Euphorbiaceae).
 Material examined. B. peculiaris: 1 male, 1 female, Congo, AMNH, JRJ _Led1_015, 20; 3 males, 3 females, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, MNHN, Led1_016–021.
 Remarks. Beniledra is monobasic. The type specimen is unknown, but nearly a dozen unidentified specimens were found in the MNHN, and two of the paratypes from Linnavuori’s personal collection were made available by the AMNH.
 Beniledra has many affinities to Confucius, including the metathoracic tarsomere being short and the tibia not being especially foliaceous. The large size, long broadly triangular wings that meet to form a peak over the hind part of the abdomen, highly reticulate venation, and the large, flat, pentagonally-shaped crown make Beniledra readily distinguishable from all other Ledrini.

description: We present an operational definition of the Wigner function. Our method relies on the Fresnel transform of measured Rabi oscillations and applies to motional states of trapped atoms as well as to field states in cavities. We illustrate this technique using data from recent experiments in ion traps [D. M. Meekhof et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 1796 (1996)] and in cavity QED [B. Varcoe et al., Nature 403, 743 (2000)]. The values of the Wigner functions of the underlying states at the origin of phase space are W(0)=+1.75 for the vibrational ground state and W(0)=-1.4 for the one-photon number state. We generalize this method to wave packets in arbitrary potentials.

description: The present study investigated the efficacy of microwave photo-oxidation (MWPO) process with two oxidants i.e. persulphate (PS) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for degradation of Congo red (CR). The result indicated a CR degradation efficiency of 98% and 96.8% with PS and H2O2, respectively, in 30 min of reaction with corresponding PS dosage of 50 mg/L and H2O2 dosage of 180 mg/L. The COD removal efficiency with the two oxidants were 97.7% and 94.9%, respectively. Higher dosages of oxidant and CR reduced the efficiency of the process in both the cases due to self-quenching. Effect of pH and initial CR concentration on CR removal efficiency also has been studied. Degradation of CR followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with a removal rate constant of 0.12/min and 0.09/min, respectively, with PS and H2O2. The main mechanism of CR degradation was cleavage of the benzene–benzene bond, cleavage of benzene–N bond and hydroxylation. Economic analysis of the MWPO process indicated an energy consumption of 18.3 kWh/g of CR removal and 18.4 kWh/g of COD removal. The process was effective in the rapid degradation and mineralization of high concentration of CR within 30 min.

Chiral dynamics of nuclear matter at finite temperature

description: We extend a recent three-loop calculation of nuclear matter in the systematic framework of chiral perturbation theory to finite temperatures T. The contributions from one- and two-pion exchange diagrams which cause nuclear binding and saturation at T=0 are included for T>0 in the density and temperature dependent free energy per particle, $\bar F(rho,T)$. The so-called anomalous 2pi-exchange contribution $\bar A(rho,T)$ (with no counterpart in the ground state energy density at T=0) is consistently included. The calculated pressure isotherms display the familiar first-order liquid-gas phase transition of isospin symmetric nuclear matter with a critical point at T_c = 25.5 MeV and rho_c = 0.09 fm^{-3}. The too high value of the critical temperature originates from the strong momentum dependence of the underlying single-particle potential U(p,k_{f0}) near the Fermi-surface. We also consider pure neutron matter at T>0 in the same framework and find fair agreement with sophisticated many-body calculations for neutron densities rho_n < 0.2 fm^{-3}.

description: In today's global economy, supply chain (SC) entities have become increasingly interconnected with demand and supply relationships due to the need for strategic outsourcing. Such interdependence among firms not only increases efficiency but also creates more vulnerabilities in the system. Natural and human-made disasters such as floods and transport accidents may halt operations and lead to economic losses. Due to the interdependence among firms, the adverse effects of any disruption can be amplified and spread throughout the systems. This paper aims at studying the robustness of SC networks against cascading failures. Considering the upper and lower bound load constraints, i.e., inventory and cost, we examine the fraction of failed entities under load decrease and load fluctuation scenarios. The simulation results obtained from synthetic networks and a European supply chain network [1] both confirm that the recovery strategies of surplus inventory and backup suppliers often adopted in actual SCs can enhance the system robustness, compared with the system without the recovery process. In addition, the system is relatively robust against load fluctuations but is more fragile to demand shocks. For the underload-driven model without the recovery process, we found an occurrence of a discontinuous phase transition. Differently from other systems studied under overload cascading failures, this system is more robust for power-law distributions than uniform distributions of the lower bound parameter for the studied scenarios.

Effect of microstructures on the electron-phonon interaction in the disordered metals Pd$_{60}$Ag$_{40}$

description: Using the weak-localization method, we have measured the electron-phonon scattering times $τ_{ep}$ in Pd$_{60}$Ag$_{40}$ thick films prepared by DC- and RF-sputtering deposition techniques. In both series of samples, we find an anomalous $1/τ_{ep} \propto T^2\ell$ temperature and disorder dependence, where $\ell$ is the electron elastic mean free path. This anomalous behavior cannot be explained in terms of the current concepts for the electron-phonon interaction in impure conductors. Our result also reveals that the strength of the electron-phonon coupling is much stronger in the DC than RF sputtered films, suggesting that the electron-phonon interaction not only is sensitive to the total level of disorder but also is sensitive to the microscopic quality of the disorder.
