title: Is Dominance One Size Fits All?: The Influence of Face-Type and Emotional Expression on Memory
Creators: name: Meacham, Ashley
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
Studies show that both invariant and dynamic features of the face influence how we perceive and judge dominance. However, its suggested that dynamic expressions of the face are indicative of different types of dominance  beyond what has been classically defined in the literature. The present study aimed to investigate whether dominant faces that vary in emotional expression have strong category associations that could bias subsequent decision-making. In two studies examining face-type categorization and memory for face/occupation pairs, we found that dominant faces were more likely than non-dominant faces to be associated with positions of higher power. When memory was weak for face/occupation pairs, people relied on these strong associations between structural dominance and power to guide their (mis)categorizations into stereotype-consistent roles. Emotional expressions had little influence on categorization and memory. Results suggest an associative link between a dominant face-type and assumed power, generally, that biases decision-making when source memory fails.

description: Every thought about the interaction between industrial production and environment should take into
account the fact that environmental sustainability is not only a non renounceable target to achieve, as often nowadays
is meant, but also a direction to take. In this sense, not all the improvements on environment (such as the plain energy
saving), can be considered sustainable. The binding requirements for defining a product as really sustainable are far
back well outlined: the employment of renewable sources (with a use rate that does not outpass the regeneration one);
optimization of non renewable sources; not harming for the site; not harming for human health.
The paper deals with the subject of sustainability evaluation building products made up with advanced materials.
The paper will show the comparison between a thin-film PV panel and an organic solar cell, obtained from the
blueberry juice, which contains the anthocyanin, an element that allows the transformation of the solar heat in
electricity, according to a process very similar to the photosyntesis.
The two products will be compared, as far as my PH. D. research will go on, according to an evaluation method that I
have developed, that takes into account their behaviours regarding three major classes: Eco-sustainability,
Biocompatibility and Effectiveness.

description: We discuss the distribution of commuting distances and its relation to income. Using data from Denmark, the UK, and the US, we show that the commuting distance is (i) broadly distributed with a slow decaying tail that can be fitted by a power law with exponent $γ\approx 3$ and (ii) an average growing slowly as a power law with an exponent less than one that depends on the country considered. The classical theory for job search is based on the idea that workers evaluate the wage of potential jobs as they arrive sequentially through time, and extending this model with space, we obtain predictions that are strongly contradicted by our empirical findings. We propose an alternative model that is based on the idea that workers evaluate potential jobs based on a quality aspect and that workers search for jobs sequentially across space. We also assume that the density of potential jobs depends on the skills of the worker and decreases with the wage. The predicted distribution of commuting distances decays as $1/r^{3}$ and is independent of the distribution of the quality of jobs. We find our alternative model to be in agreement with our data. This type of approach opens new perspectives for the modeling of mobility.

description: Simulations of gettering processes are presented, modelling the gettering effect of Aluminium layers on silicon wafers. Focus is set on the influence of different physical parameters like segregation coefficient, Al layer thickness and structure, and impurity concentration on the Al getter mechanism. This work is the first step towards the optimization of the gettering process of wafers made of alternative feedstock material. The simulations of gettering processes are carried out applying the Sentaurus Process simulator (Synopsis®).
Translational symmetry breaking and the disintegration of the Hofstadter butterfly

description: We study the effect of interactions on the Hofstadter butterfly of the honeycomb lattice. We show that the interactions induce charge ordering that breaks the translational and rotational symmetries of the system. These phase transitions are prolific and occur at many values of the flux and particle density. The breaking of the translational symmetry introduces a new length scale in the problem and this affects the energy band diagram resulting in the disintegration of the fractal structure in the energy flux plot, the Hofstadter butterfly. This disintegration increases with increase in the interaction strength. Many of these phase transitions are accompanied with change in the Hall conductivity. Consequently, the disintegration of the Hofstadter butterfly is manifested in the Landau fan diagram also.

Amorphous and Microcrystalline Silicon Solar Cells

description: At the 24th European PV SEC in Hamburg we presented a new, nanostructured 3-dimensional “folded cell”
design and demonstrated the first experimental results of the amorphous silicon structure deposited over such ZnO
columnar substrates. Now we present a “bottom up” approach for deposition of ZnO nanocolumns by direct low
temperature hydrothermal synthesis, together with the results of complementary design with nano- or micro-holes etched
into the ZnO (“Swiss cheese” design), which could be more easily up-scaled to much larger areas.
Electron beam lithography was used for defining the openings in resist for selective ZnO nanocolumns growth in the first
case, optical lithography and reactive ion etching have been used to fabricate the holes into ZnO substrate in the later
case. Requirements for the optical properties of ZnO are discussed and Monte Carlo modeling of these new, 3D solar
cells, using already materials developed on the industrial scale, is presented. Calculations show that stable efficiency of
amorphous silicon p-i-n solar cells in over 12% range is possible and for the Micromorph cells efficiency can reach over
15%, with the layer thickness of amorphous Si below 200 nm and microcrystalline Si around 500 nm. The first “proof of
concept” Micromorph cell with the “Swiss cheese” design is presented.
title: Neural Underpinnings of Social Withdrawal Analyzed Through Schizotypy
Creators: name: Edmond, Jesse
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description:
Schizotypy is a set of personality traits that may predispose someone to develop a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Social withdrawal is common in schizotypy and typically results in a lack of close relationships, little social support, and can exacerbate pre-existing psychiatric symptoms. White matter plays an integral role in cognition, yet it is still not understood which tracts influence social withdrawal.  By collaborating with the ENIGMA Schizotypy working group, we gathered social withdrawal scores from the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences and diffusion tensor imaging data from 375 participants. Using the ENIGMA DTI Pipeline, we were able to measure fractional anisotropy in six tracts and regress these numbers against social withdrawal scores. We studied the superior longitudinal fasciculus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, uncinate fasciculus, cingulum bundle, and the splenium of the corpus callosum. Through this analysis, we analyzed the relationship of white matter integrity and social withdrawal through the lens of schizotypy.

description: Long duration gamma-ray bursts are a rare subclass of stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae that launch collimated relativistic outflows (jets). All gamma-ray-burst-associated supernovae are spectroscopically of Type Ic with broad lines, but the fraction of broad-lined Type Ic supernovae harboring low-luminosity gamma-ray-burst remains largely unconstrained. Some supernovae should be accompanied by off-axis $γ$-ray burst jets that remain invisible initially, but then emerge as strong radio sources (as the jets decelerate). However, this critical prediction of the jet model for gamma-ray bursts has yet to be verified observationally. Here, we present K. G. Jansky Very Large Array observations of 15 broad-lined supernovae of Type Ic discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory in an untargeted manner. Most of the supernovae in our sample exclude radio emission observationally similar to that of the radio-loud, relativistic SN\,1998bw. We constrain the fraction of 1998bw-like broad-lined Type Ic supernovae to be

title: Identifying Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and its Symptoms: a Diffusion Tensor Imaging Machine Learning Study
Creators: name: Haller, Olivia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) impacts millions of Americans annually. Altered white matter microstructure may be a potential diagnostic biomarker for PTSD. White matter microstructural differences in persons with PTSD have been studied using machine learning, a method uniquely suited for biological datasets. This study examined the utility of white matter tracts in classifying persons with and without PTSD and predicting PTSD symptom cluster severity amongst trauma-exposed Black American women. Fractional anisotropy of 53 white matter tracts served as input features. Current PTSD presence was estimated using the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale. Symptom cluster scores were calculated using the PTSD Symptom Scales. Only the random forest model demonstrated above-chance accuracy (58.88%) when classifying persons with and without PTSD. Regression models for symptom scores failed to show positive R-values. Results show a minimal signal for white matter microstructure and suggest a restricted set of white matter tracts is relevant to PTSD presence.

description: Impact of boron diffusion on the bulk quality was investigated for n-type multicrystalline silicon wafers by measuring the effective carrier lifetimes using the quasi-steady-state photo conductance (QSSPC) and compared to
P-gettering results. Boron diffusion was performed by spin-on-dopant (SOD) technique and carried out at 950 oC. At higher temperatures, the bulk quality degraded due to the generation of crystal defects and influence of contamination
diffusion into the bulk. The response of the wafers to boron gettering was promoted and carrier lifetimes improved further at the bottom and top of the ingot. High carrier lifetimes, as high as 84 μs at the bottom and 86 μs at the top of the ingot, are realized. Boron gettering is comparably effective as that of P-gettering on n-type multicrystalline silicon wafers.
title: Criminal and Remorseful Face-type Effects on Legal Decision Making
Creators: name: Stevens, Beth
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
Both defendant remorse and criminal appearance contribute to how harshly defendants are sentenced during a criminal trial, wherein signs of remorse are associated with more lenient sentencing punishments, and criminal appearances are associated with harsher punishments. Recent literature suggests that defendants faces can naturally look more remorseful or criminal, despite intent, and that these facial cues can impact legal outcomes. The current study investigated the extent to which face-type judgments of remorse and criminality interact to influence legal system punishments for different crimes. Using an online face-judgment task, participants made parole decisions and recidivism judgments while viewing a series of either morphed criminal and remorseful faces or composite faces depicting both remorse and criminality paired with crime scenarios. Results suggest that face-type and crime-type biases significantly influence parole decisions and recidivism beliefs. The findings are discussed in the context of face-type and crime-type biases in the criminal justice system.

description: Converting signals between different electromagnetic modes is an asset for future information technologies. In general, slightly asymmetric optical nanoantennas enable the coupling between bright and dark modes sustained by an optical nanoantenna. However, the conversion efficiency might be very low. Here, we show that the additional incorporation of a quantum emitter allows to tremendously enhance this efficiency. The enhanced local density of states cycles the quantum emitter between its upper and lower level at an extremely hight rate; hence converting the energy very efficient. The process is robust with respect to possible experimental tolerances and adds a new ingredient to be exploited while studying and applying coupling phenomena in optical nanosystems.

description: We present tandem thin film silicon solar cells in n-i-p configuration with 12% initial efficiency.
The stabilized efficiency of these devices is 10%. This result is obtained by the combination of a microcrystalline
bottom cell on randomly textured substrate and an asymmetric intermediate reflector that establishes a well
adapted surface texture for the amorphous top cell. After successfully integrating these two steps, we obtain
micromorph tandems cells with size of typically 0.25 cm2. The best cell among an array of 16 devices on the 4x4
cm2 sample area showed and initial efficiency of 12% with an open circuit voltage of Voc = 1.335 V, a short
circuit current density of jsc = 12.1 mA/cm2 and a fill factor of FF = 74.2%. After carrying out the 1000 h light
soak, this particular cell stabilized at 1.320 V, 11.9 mA/cm2, 62.7%, giving a stable efficiency of 9.8%. We
observed some variation in the stabilized FFs, an adjacent cell with FF of 65.7 yields a stable efficiency of 10.0%.

description: The physics of nematic liquid crystals has been subject of intensive research since the late 19th century. However, because of the limitations of chemistry the focus has been centered around uni- and biaxial nematics associated with constituents bearing a $D_{\infty h}$ or $D_{2h}$ symmetry respectively. In view of general symmetries, however, these are singularly special since nematic order can in principle involve any point group symmetry. Given the progress in tailoring nano particles with particular shapes and interactions, this vast family of "generalized nematics" might become accessible in the laboratory. Little is known since the order parameter theories associated with the highly symmetric point groups are remarkably complicated, involving tensor order parameters of high rank. Here we show that the generic features of the statistical physics of such systems can be studied in a highly flexible and efficient fashion using a mathematical tool borrowed from high energy physics: discrete non-Abelian gauge theory. Explicitly, we construct a family of lattice gauge models encapsulating nematic ordering of general three dimensional point group symmetries. We find that the most symmetrical "generalized nematics" are subjected to thermal fluctuations of unprecedented severity. As a result, novel forms of fluctuation phenomena become possible. In particular, we demonstrate that a vestigial phase carrying no more than chiral order becomes ubiquitous departing from high point group symmetry chiral building blocks, such as $I$, $O$ and $T$ symmetric matter.

See Salomonsen, 1967: 441, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 269–273, Christidis and Boles, 2008: 185–191, and Higgins et al., 2008: 617–618. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 694521, adult female, collected at Broomehill, 33.51S, 117.38E (Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 504), Western Australia, Australia, on 18 September 1906, by Thomas Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 3363) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype in the original description and the range as ‘‘ South-West Australia.’’ The holotype bears Carter’s original label and Mathews and Rothschild type labels. Paratypes are: Broomehill, AMNH 694516 (Mathews no. 3362), male, 28 October 1906; AMNH 694522 (3364), female, 1 August 1908; AMNH 694524 (3365), immature, 27 December 1906. The following were collected before the 31 January 1912 publication date of clelandi, but I did not find them in Mathews’ catalog and do not know when he acquired them: Broomehill, AMNH 694517, male, 19 June 1910, AMNH 694518, male, 4 July 1910, AMNH 694519, male, 11 February 1911; Cranbrook, AMNH 694531, female, 17 March 1910. Other specimens were either never in Mathews’ Collection or were cataloged later. Salomonsen (1967: 441) recognized clelandi, Schodde and Mason (1999: 271) considered it to come from a zone of intergradation, and Higgins et al. (2008: 618) treated it as a synonym of M. f. obscura.

title: The Impact of Recalled Parental Emotion Socialization Responses on Internalizing Psychopathology in Emerging Adults: The Roles of Emotion Regulation and Emotion Recognition
Creators: name: Moran, Sarah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
The present study explored associations among factors associated with internalizing symptomology in emerging adulthood: recalled supportive and unsupportive maternal and paternal ES responses, emotion regulation, and emotion recognition in emerging adults. Recalled unsupportive maternal and paternal ES responses were positively associated with expressive suppression and internalizing psychopathology while recalled supportive ES responses were negatively associated with expressive suppression and internalizing psychopathology and positively associated with cognitive reappraisal. Cognitive reappraisal was negatively associated, and expressive suppression was positively associated to internalizing psychopathology. Significant indirect effects between unsupportive and supportive ES responses and internalizing psychopathology through emotion regulation strategies were explore. Implications for the factor structure of recalled ES responses, operationalization of emotion recognition, and differential roles of mothers and fathers ES in the use of emotion regulation and presence of internalizing psychopathology in emerging adulthood are considered.

Our main results concern a Faber-Krahn-type inequality for the principal eigenvalue of these operators. The proofs rely on the Birman-Schwinger principle and on the fact that circles are unique minimizers for a class of energy functionals. The main novel idea consists in the way of constructing test functions for the Birman-Schwinger principle.

description: When Chen et al. (2015, Acta Mater. 87, 78-85) investigated the deformation behavior of oligocrystalline gold microwires with varying diameters in both uniaxial tension and torsion, contrary size effects were observed for the different load cases. In accompanying microstructural studies it was found, that the microwires of different thickness reveal distinctive differences in grain size and texture, respectively. As a consequence, a significant influence of these microstructural variations on the determined size effects was assumed. However, within the frame of their work, a direct confirmation could only be presented for the effect of the grain size. In the present work, the size-dependent mechanical response of the microwires is modeled with a gradient plasticity theory. By finite element simulations of simplified grain aggregates, the influence of the texture on the size effects is investigated under both loading conditions. It is shown that the experimentally observed contrary size effects can only be reproduced when taking into account the individual textures of the microwires of different thickness within the modeling.

Creators: name: Julian, Jacob

Year: 2022

description:
The current study examined the relationship between witnessing violence and racial discrimination on depressive symptoms and accelerated epigenetic aging in a non-treatment seeking sample of Black Americans. In addition to the direct effects of witnessing violence and experiences of racial discrimination on depressive symptoms and accelerated epigenetic aging, analyses also assessed whether experiences of racial discrimination moderated the impact of witnessing violence on depressive symptoms and accelerated epigenetic aging. Partially in line with our hypotheses, witnessing violence and racial discrimination were found to predict depressive symptoms, but not accelerated epigenetic aging. Although no modifying effect was found for accelerated epigenetic aging, racial discrimination exacerbated the relationship between witnessing violence and depressive symptoms. This study adds to the current body of knowledge by identifying sociocultural factors that contribute to the well-being of Black Americans, and likely play a role in the persistent racial health inequalities experienced by Black Americans.

description: Genetic differences between individuals associated to quantitative phenotypic traits, including disease states, are usually found in non-coding genomic regions. These genetic variants are often also associated to differences in expression levels of nearby genes (they are "expression quantitative trait loci" or eQTLs for short) and presumably play a gene regulatory role, affecting the status of molecular networks of interacting genes, proteins and metabolites. Computational systems biology approaches to reconstruct causal gene networks from large-scale omics data have therefore become essential to understand the structure of networks controlled by eQTLs together with other regulatory genes, and to generate detailed hypotheses about the molecular mechanisms that lead from genotype to phenotype. Here we review the main analytical methods and softwares to identify eQTLs and their associated genes, to reconstruct co-expression networks and modules, to reconstruct causal Bayesian gene and module networks, and to validate predicted networks in silico.

For any of such self-adjoint operators we also provide the generalized eigenfunctions and the scattering matrix; both these objects are written in terms of operator-valued Weyl functions. We make use of a Krein-type formula which provides the resolvent difference between the operator corresponding to self-adjoint boundary conditions on the hypersurface and the free Laplacian on the whole space ${\mathbb{R}}^{n}$. Our results apply to all standard examples of boundary conditions, like Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin, $δ$ and $δ'$-type, either assigned on $Γ$ or on $Σ\subsetΓ$.

description: For the next-generation solar cell, lightweight and flexibility is required. OSC (Organic Solar Cell) have
been a focus of constant attention. Using the organic materials based on bulkheterojunction, conversion efficiency of
OSC improves spectacularly. There are many papers of OSC mentioned over 5% conversion efficiency. But those cell
size are small (under 10mmsq.), and not for practical use. Conversion efficiency of OSC goes down with increasing
cell size. Loss of the generated electricity goes up with increasing cell size because of ITO resistance. We are
developing supporting electrode using photo fabrication technologies. We make 50mmsq size cell using glass
substrate with supporting electrode. In our experiment, conversion efficiency of that cell is 4.09%, so we verify that
the supporting electrode has effect for manufacturing for large size OSC.

Starting from an avoided crossing within the parameter-dependent spectra and using a two-dimensional matrix model, we develop an iterative algorithm to calculate the field strengths and resonance energies of exceptional points and to verify their basic properties. Additionally, we are able to visualise the wave functions of the degenerate states. We report the existence of various exceptional points. For the hydrogen atom these points are in an experimentally inaccessible regime of field strengths. However, excitons in cuprous oxide in parallel electric and magnetic fields, i. e., the corresponding hydrogen analogue in a solid state body, provide a suitable system, where the high-field regime can be reached at much smaller external fields and for which we propose an experiment to detect exceptional points.

description: In expectation of high potentials for cost reduction, many new approaches for thin film solar cell
concepts achieved increased attention in the last time. With improving efficiencies, the accurate determination of the
solar cell parameters has received growing attention. Calibration laboratories, such as the calibration laboratory of
Fraunhofer ISE (ISE CalLab PV Cells), need to develop procedures to determine reliable solar cell parameters of
such technologies, in accordance with standard testing conditions (STC, IEC 60904-3). A central requirement is the
control of the junction temperature. Many thin film technologies, such as organic solar cells, need to be encapsulated
in order to protect the material from environmental influences. This means that the junction temperature cannot be
determined by direct probing, and other methods are required. If the solar cell is additionally affected by light
soaking, the VOC-method also cannot be performed to determine the junction temperature.
Model calculations were performed to predict the spatial and temporal distributions of changes in the temperature of
an encapsulated thin film layer. These are confirmed by experiments with specially prepared organic solar cells that
also contained a temperature sensor and by infrared recordings. Further experiments to understand the nature of light
soaking and investigate the use of the VOC-method were performed.

description: Background
 Interventions to improve medical student wellbeing are a subject of extensive study. Evidence from the BMA highlights that the workplace provides an opportunity for junior doctors (JDs) and medical students to engage with the subject of mental health. In the climate of JD strike balloting and rising numbers of doctors leaving training, it is important that final year medical students have the opportunity to discuss their concerns about becoming a doctor in a supported, professional environment.
 Summary Of Work
 The undergraduate teaching fellows across Chelsea & Westminster NHS Trust piloted a novel wellbeing session for final year medical students. Discussion topics were determined using an anonymous pre-session questionnaire and an in-session interactive platform that allowed students to anonymously contribute topics. A panel of undergraduate fellows facilitated group discussions on various aspects of maintaining wellbeing during Foundation Training. Where applicable, students were signposted to appropriate resources. This was delivered to approximately 75 final year medical students from Imperial College London and optional feedback forms were distributed.
 Summary Of Results
 20 students provided quantitative and qualitative feedback. 100% of these students either agreed or strongly agreed that the session was helpful in addressing their current concerns as a student and worries about becoming a doctor. 89% of students reported feeling less worried about the future after the session. Several students described the session as valuable opportunity to voice concerns, a source of communal support and a unique experience. Recurring themes included concerns with workload, finances and maintaining work-life balance. Notably, there were many inquiries regarding alternative career pathways within and outside of medicine. Discussion And
 Conclusion
 A simple, low-cost intervention in the form of a wellbeing Q&A session facilitated by teaching fellows can have positive outcomes on student wellbeing. It is clear students are keen to explore wellbeing issues and opportunities to take time out of training. Take Home Messages This pilot identifies the need for more research into the area with a view to establishing a robust and reproducible program to improve student, and ultimately junior doctor wellbeing and retention.

description: Recent sky surveys have discovered a large number of stellar substructures. It is highly likely that there are dark matter (DM) counterparts to these stellar substructures. We examine the implications of DM substructures for electron recoil (ER) direct detection (DD) rates in dual phase xenon experiments. We have utilized the results of the LAMOST survey and considered a few benchmark substructures in our analysis. Assuming that these substructures constitute $\sim 10\%$ of the local DM density, we study the discovery limits of DM-electron scattering cross sections considering one kg-year exposure and 1, 2, and 3 electron thresholds. With this exposure and threshold, it is possible to observe the effect of the considered DM substructure for the currently allowed parameter space. We also explore the sensitivity of these experiments in resolving the DM substructure fraction. For all the considered cases, we observe that DM having mass $\mathcal{O}(10)\,$MeV has a better prospect in resolving substructure fraction as compared to $\mathcal{O}(100)\,$MeV scale DM. We also find that within the currently allowed DM-electron scattering cross-section; these experiments can resolve the substructure fraction (provided it has a non-negligible contribution to the local DM density) with good accuracy for $\mathcal{O}(10)\,$MeV DM mass with one electron threshold.

description: We have studied the degradation of organic solar cell. Because the organic solar cells have the problem
in this time that the power conversion efficiency shows the time dependent degradation by exposing to the air, the
organic solar cells has to equip some encapsulation components. Therefore, in this paper, it is intended to grasp the
outline of the contributing factors that influence the degradation of organic solar cells in order to design the effective
encapsulation structures. In the result, we could obtain the following perspectives. (1) It was found out that the
degradation of the short circuit current in the air environment was mainly caused by the contribution of the humidity.
(2) It was found out that the degradation under the artificial sunlight irradiation is mainly attributed to the influence
of heat. (3) It was realized that the encapsulated module could maintain the initial PCE during at least 1 month in the
air environment.

description: Abstract The birth of Bangladesh was a history of bloodshed in this sub-continent. It has often been said that the atrocities of 1971 in the then East Pakistan was the bloodiest one after the Second World War. The Pakistan’s military did these atrocities on this land with the help of local collaborators i.e. Rajakars, Al-Badr, Al-Shams etc. It was a long-cherished dream for the Bangladeshis to bring those culprits within the purview of law and be given proper punishment according to law. In this pursuance, Bangladesh has established the International Crimes Tribunal in 2010 in accordance with the International Crimes Tribunal Act, 2010. After the establishment of the Tribunal, it has faced a large criticism and challenges as well. Is not easy to try those perpetrators after so many years because they have already been powerfully settled in politics. In this paper, I focused on why it is really important to try those perpetrators, what are the challenges to try, other standards to be maintained to ensure the trail without any question.

description: We provide strong evidence of the spin-nematic state in a paradigmatic ferro-antiferromagnetic $J_1$--$J_2$ model using analytical and density-matrix renormalization group methods. In zero field, the attraction of spin-flip pairs leads to a first-order transition and no nematic state, while pair-repulsion at larger $J_2$ stabilizes the nematic phase in a narrow region near the pair-condensation field. A devil's staircase of multi-pair condensates is conjectured for weak pair-attraction. A suppression of the spin-flip gap by many-body effects leads to an order-of-magnitude contraction of the nematic phase compared to naïve expectations. The proposed phase diagram should be broadly valid.

description: The Aharonov-Bohm effect is a fundamental topological phenomenon with a wide range of applications. It consists of a charge encircling a region with a magnetic flux in a superposition of wave packets having their relative phase affected by the flux. In this work, we analyze this effect using an entropic measure known as realism, originally introduced as a quantifier of a system's degree of reality and mathematically related to notions of global and local quantum coherence. More precisely, we look for observables that lead to gauge-invariant realism associated with the charge before it completes its loop. We find that the realism of these operators has a sudden change when the line connecting the center of both wave packets crosses the solenoid. Moreover, we consider the case of a quantized magnetic-field source, pointing out similarities and differences between the two cases. Finally, we discuss some consequences of these results.
