Superconducting interaction charge in thallium-based high-Tc cuprates: Roles of cation oxidation state and electronegativity
Creators: name: Harshman, Dale R.

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: Superconductivity in the Tl-based cuprates encompasses a notably broad range of measured optimal transition temperatures Tc0, ranging from lowest in the charge-depleted Tl-1201 compounds (Tl$_{1-x}$(Ba/Sr)$_{1+y}$La$_{1-y}$CuO$_{5-δ}$), such as Tl$_{0.7}$LaSrCuO$_5$ (37 K) and TlBa$_{1.2}$La$_{0.8}$CuO$_5$ (45.4 K), to highest in the Tl-1223 compound TlBa$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{9{\pm}δ}$ (133.5 K). Seven Tl-based cuprates are considered and compared using the model of superconductive pairing via electronic interactions between two physically separated charge reservoirs, where Tc0 $\propto$ (ση/A)$^{1/2}$ζ$^{-1}$ is determined by the superconducting interaction charge fraction σ the number η of CuO$_2$ layers, and the basal-plane area A, each per formula unit, and the transverse distance ζ between interacting layers. Herein it is demonstrated that σ follows from the elemental electronegativity and the oxidation state of Tl, and other structurally analogous cations. The comparatively lower elemental electronegativity of Tl, in conjunction with its oxidation state, explains the higher σ and Tc0 values in the Tl-based compounds relative to their Bi-based cuprate homologues. A derivation of σ is introduced for the optimal Tl$_2$Ba$_2$Ca$_{η-1}$Cu$_η$O$_{2η+4}$ (for η = 1, 2, 3) compounds, which exhibit a Tl oxidation state at or near +3, obtaining the fundamental value σ$_0$ = 0.228 previously established for YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.92}$. Also reported is the marked enhancement in σ associated with Tl$^{+1}$ and analogous inner-layer cations relative to higher-valence cations. For a model proposition of σ = σ$_0$, the fractional Tl$^{+1}$ content of the mixed-valence compound, TlBa$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{9{\pm}δ}$, is predicted to be 1/3 at optimization, in agreement ...

description: Single-Sided Deafness (SSD) can be defined as moderate-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss with limited speech perception benefit in one ear and normal hearing in the contralateral ear. Despite the presence of one normal hearing ear, SSD patients typically experience difficulty with Localization and understanding speech in noise, in addition to a reduced quality of life Current hearing technology options for patients with SSD include contralateral routing of the signal (CROS) hearing aids and bone conduction devices. The main advantage of CROS hearing aids and bone conduction devices is the ability for the patient to hear sounds coming from the affected side. However, both of these technologies send the signal to the normal hearing ear, which keeps the patient in a unilateral listening condition. This results in the inability to take advantage of binaural listening cues to help improve speech understanding in noise and localization of sounds in the environment. Stimulation of the auditory pathway on the affected ear could provide binaural cues to SSD patients. Cochlear implantation may provide a benefit over the current hearing technology options for SSD, as it stimulates the auditory pathway on the affected side. This may permit bilateral stimulation of the auditory pathway, potentially allowing the patient to take advantage of binaural cues to improve speech understanding in noise, localization, and quality of life.

description: We study the environmental dependence of the strength of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission by AKARI observations of RX J0152.7-1357, a galaxy cluster at z=0.84. PAH emission reflects the physical conditions of galaxies and dominates 8 um luminosity (L8), which can directly be measured with the L15 band of AKARI. L8 to infrared luminosity (LIR) ratio is used as a tracer of the PAH strength. Both photometric and spectroscopic redshifts are applied to identify the cluster members. The L15-band-detected galaxies tend to reside in the outskirt of the cluster and have optically green colour, R-z'~ 1.2. We find no clear difference of the L8/LIR behaviour of galaxies in field and cluster environment. The L8/LIR of cluster galaxies decreases with specific-star-formation rate divided by that of main-sequence galaxies, and with LIR, consistent with the results for field galaxies. The relation between L8/LIR and LIR is between those at z=0 and z=2 in the literature. Our data also shows that starburst galaxies, which have lower L8/LIR than main-sequence, are located only in the outskirt of the cluster. All these findings extend previous studies, indicating that environment affects only the fraction of galaxy types and does not affect the L8/LIR behaviour of star-forming galaxies.

Some geometric inequalities by the ABP method
Creators: name: Pham, The Doanh
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis, we apply the so-called Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci (ABP) method to establish some geometric inequalities. We first prove a logarithmic Sobolev inequal- ity for closed n-dimensional minimal submanifolds Σ of S^{n+m}. As a consequence, it recovers the classical result that |S^n| ≤ |Σ| for m = 1,2. Next, we prove a Sobolev- type inequality for positive symmetric two-tensors on smooth domains in Rn which was established by D. Serre when the domain is convex. Furthermore, we formulate and prove an inequality related to quermassintegrals of closed hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space. In the last application of the ABP method, we give a proof of the Willmore-type inequality for k-curvatures of closed submanifolds in a manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature.

description: Widely-deployed encryption-based security prevents unauthorized decoding, but does not ensure undetectability of communication. However, covert, or low probability of detection/intercept (LPD/LPI) communication is crucial in many scenarios ranging from covert military operations and the organization of social unrest, to privacy protection for users of wireless networks. In addition, encrypted data or even just the transmission of a signal can arouse suspicion, and even the most theoretically robust encryption can often be defeated by a determined adversary using non-computational methods such as side-channel analysis. Various covert communication techniques were developed to address these concerns, including steganography for finite-alphabet noiseless applications and spread-spectrum systems for wireless communications. After reviewing these covert communication systems, this article discusses new results on the fundamental limits of their capabilities, as well as provides a vision for the future of such systems.

description: For over a century, the city of Cornwall has been economically reliant on traditional manufacturing-based businesses. Over the past thirty years, however, changes in global markets and production practices have translated into a significant decline. One distinct east end neighbourhood within the city, traditionally referred to as "Le Village," has been significantly affected by this shift in industrial importance. Following the closure of the textile mills, unemployment increased significantly and those families who were able to leave did so. The area fell into a state of disrepair with many residences turning into rental units. In addition, the infrastructure was neglected for many years, and the viability of the commercial core of Le Village came into question . Despite these trends, the spirit of community persevered and, in 1998, a group of concerned business owners, citizens, and organizations banded together to form the Groupe Renaissance group. This not-for-profit organization focused on developing a vision of the district with clear objectives to create a viable, sustainable "community" within the city of Cornwall.

description: We present a secret key agreement (SKA) protocol for a multi-user time-division duplex system where a base-station (BS) with a large antenna array (LAA) shares secret keys with users in the presence of non-colluding eavesdroppers. In the system, when the BS transmits random sequences to legitimate users for sharing common randomness, the eavesdroppers can attempt the pilot contamination attack (PCA) in which each of eavesdroppers transmits its target user's training sequence in hopes of acquiring possible information leak by steering beam towards the eavesdropper. We show that there exists a crucial complementary relation between the received signal strengths at the eavesdropper and its target user. This relation tells us that the eavesdropper inevitably leaves a trace that enables us to devise a way of measuring the amount of information leakage to the eavesdropper even if PCA parameters are unknown. To this end, we derive an estimator for the channel gain from the BS to the eavesdropper and propose a rate-adaptation scheme for adjusting the length of secret key under the PCA. Extensive analysis and evaluations are carried out under various setups, which show that the proposed scheme adequately takes advantage of the LAA to establish the secret keys under the PCA.

description: In this paper we consider a generalization of zwei-dreibein gravity with a chern-Simons term associated to a constraint term which fixed the torsion. We count the local degrees of freedom of this model using Hamiltonian analysis and show that in contrast to the usual GZDG which has 2 bulk local degrees of freedom, our model has 3 propagating modes. Then by looking at the quadratic Lagrangian, we determine that these propagating modes are 3 massive graviton with different masses. Finally we obtain AdS wave solution as an example solution for this model.

Elle retrace le cas du comité scientifique et d’évaluation d’un projet pédagogique pluri-établissements démarré en 2018 dans le cadre du programme NCU-ANR-PIA d’une durée de 10 ans. Elle raconte les différents pas de la mise en place d’une évaluation instituée structurée par les statuts de ses membres, par l’adhésion à des principes sous-jacents inspirés de Thélot (2008) et inspirée par la recherche en évaluation et pas seulement par les demandes et évaluations spontanées. Elle précise les modalités de construction du jugement de l’évaluation par cette instance qui au croisement de l’évaluation externe et interne accompagne les acteurs pour le pilotage du projet et de ses différentes actions. À travers ce récit de pratique, nous proposons une analyse critique de la mise en place d’un tel comité, interrogeant les postures à adopter dans cette démarche d’évaluation ainsi que les dynamiques permettant sa bonne mise en œuvre.

The electrons dynamics show that inelastic scattering by nodal quasiparticles decreases when the temperature is lowered below the critical value of the superconducting phase transition. This drop of electronic dissipation is astonishingly robust and survives to photoexcitation densities much larger than the value sustained by long-range superconductivity. The unconventional behaviour of quasiparticle scattering is ascribed to superconducting correlations extending on a length scale comparable to the inelastic path. Our measurements indicate that strongly driven superconductors enter in a regime without phase coherence but finite pairing amplitude. The latter vanishes near to the critical temperature and has no evident link with the pseudogap observed by Angle Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (ARPES).

description: Coalescing binaries of neutron stars (NS) and black holes (BH) are one of the most important sources of gravitational waves for the upcoming network of ground based detectors. Detection and extraction of astrophysical information from gravitational-wave signals requires accurate waveform models. The Effective-One-Body and other phenomenological models interpolate between analytic results and $10-30$ orbit numerical relativity (NR) merger simulations. In this paper we study the accuracy of these models using new NR simulations that span $36-88$ orbits, with mass-ratios and black hole spins $(q,χ_{BH}) = (7, \pm 0.4), (7, \pm 0.6)$, and $(5, -0.9)$. We find that: (i) the recently published SEOBNRv1 and SEOBNRv2 models of the Effective-One-Body family disagree with each other (mismatches of a few percent) for black hole spins $\geq 0.5$ or $\leq -0.3$, with waveform mismatch accumulating during early inspiral; (ii) comparison with numerical waveforms indicate that this disagreement is due to phasing errors of SEOBNRv1, with SEOBNRv2 in good agreement with all of our simulations; (iii) Phenomenological waveforms disagree with SEOBNRv2 over most of the NSBH binary parameter space; (iv) comparison with NR waveforms shows that most of the model's dephasing accumulates near the frequency interval where it switches to a phenomenological phasing prescription; and finally (v) both SEOBNR and post-Newtonian (PN) models are effectual for NSBH systems, but PN waveforms will give a significant bias in parameter recovery. Our results suggest that future gravitational-wave detection searches and parameter estimation efforts targeted at NSBH systems with $q\lesssim 7$ and $χ_\mathrm{BH} \approx [-0.9, +0.6]$ will benefit from using SEOBNRv2 templates. For larger black hole spins and/or binary mass-ratios, we recommend the models be further investigated as suitable NR simulations become available.

description: We study the nature of the frictional jamming transition within the framework of rigidity percolation theory. Slowly sheared frictional packings are decomposed into rigid clusters and floppy regions with a generalization of the pebble game including frictional contacts. We discover a second-order transition controlled by the emergence of a system-spanning rigid cluster accompanied by a critical cluster size distribution. Rigid clusters also correlate with common measures of rigidity. We contrast this result with frictionless jamming, where the rigid cluster size distribution is noncritical.

description: We study the non-canonical method for solving the Satisfiability problem which given by a formula in the form of the conjunctive normal form. The essence of this method consists in counting the number of tuples of Boolean variables, on which at least one clause of the given formula is false. On this basis the solution of the problem obtains in the form YES or NO without constructing tuple, when the answer is YES. It is found that if the clause in the given formula has pairwise contrary literals, then the problem can be solved efficiently. However, when in the formula there are a long chain of clauses with pairwise non-contrary literals, the solution leads to an exponential calculations.

Year: 2020

description: The current document is the Water Sports Tourism Education Stakeholders Map for the EU funded project entitled 'NAUTILUS – Education and Certification Framework for Blue Career in Water Sports Tourism'. The purpose of the current document is to draw attention to the general framework of the water sports tourism trends, educational needs and challenges, and to present the design, development and implementation of a mapping process in the Water Sports Tourism environment and categorisation of the key stakeholders in the industry and the Education and Training sector. The Water Sports Tourism Stakeholders map will be used as a guide to establish the needed collaboration mechanisms for reliable and effective cooperation among all involved actors in the water sports tourism sector. Furthermore, the findings of the study for the education and training offer for water sports tourism reveal three main education models provided by a) universities, b) colleges and academies for physical education and sports, and c) water sports associations and organisations that offer entirely different knowledge base and skills and there is not specific specialisation for water sports professionals. The mapping results and the dynamic and continuously updated database that accompanies them will guide us to design a skills needs and training needs analysis. This analysis will identify the professional profile of the water sports tourism workforce and will lead to the development of the NAUTILUS- Education and Certification Framework. This document is submitted to EASME according to the DoA by the end of M8 (June 2020).

description: We start with considering rank one self-adjoint perturbations $A_α= A+α(\,\cdot\,,φ)φ$ with cyclic vector $φ\in \mathcal{H}$ on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. The spectral representation of the perturbed operator $A_α$ is realized by a (unitary) operator of a special type: the Hilbert transform in the two-weight setting, the weights being spectral measures of the operators $A$ and $A_α$. Similar results will be presented for unitary rank one perturbations of unitary operators, leading to singular integral operators on the circle. This motivates the study of abstract singular integral operators, in particular the regularization of such operator in very general settings. Further, starting with contractive rank one perturbations we present the Clark theory for arbitrary spectral measures (i.e. for arbitrary, possibly not inner characteristic functions). We present a description of the Clark operator and its adjoint in the general settings. Singular integral operators, in particular the so-called normalized Cauchy transform again plays a prominent role. Finally, we present a possible way to construct the Clark theory for dissipative rank one perturbations of self-adjoint operators. These lecture notes give an account of the mini-course delivered by the authors at the Thirteenth New Mexico Analysis Seminar and Afternoon in Honor of Cora Sadosky. Unpublished results are restricted to the last part of this manuscript.

Stitching a Rights Narrative: Embroidery practices of Syrian women living in Shatila
Creators: name: Verclyte, Sofie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Disruptive life events, devastating experiences of loss and harm, and gross human rights violations often spark a need to narrate and share these experiences. Yet, because of their painful and overwhelming nature, they can simultaneously hinder expression and communication in (exclusively) spoken or written language. How can such disruptive experiences be shared in ways that are not reductionist or extractivist and offer those who experienced violence ownership of their own story? How can these stories be told in non-linear ways that acknowledge both ongoingness as well as disruption? And how can we partake in these stories and conversations without enforcing particular scripts? In Shatila, a refugee camp in the South of Beirut, the language of embroidery has been present since it was established in 1949, then to host Palestinian refugees. Embroidery is a day-to-day gendered activity, as much as cultural heritage rooted in the region’s rich textile tradition. When the war in neighboring Syria sparked an influx of new refugees into the camp, embroidery practices increased, as a means to generate an income, to foster a new social network, to cope with trauma, and to document or tell (visual) stories about lived experiences.
 Although these functions are intertwined, this poster primarily focuses on embroidery’s storytelling function. How can embroidery’s storytelling provide a way out of the challenges raised above, and how does it foster insights into lived experiences, as well as avenues for resilience?

description: The ionization constant of water Kw is currently determined on the proton conductivity sigma1 which is measured at frequencies lower than 10^7 Hz. Here, we develop the idea that the high frequency conductivity sigma2 (~10^11 Hz), rather than sigma1 represents a net proton dynamics in water, to evaluate the actual concentration c of H3O+ and OH- ions from sigma2. We find c to be not dependent on temperature to conclude that i) water electrodynamics is due to a proton exchange between H3O+ (or OH-) ions and neutral H2O molecules rather than spontaneous ionization of H2O molecules, ii) the common Kw (or pH) reflects the thermoactivation of the H3O+ and OH- ions from the potential of their interaction, iii) the lifetime of a target water molecule does not exceed parts of nanosecond.

description: This trial will be a randomized controlled trial with two conditions: DV dyads will either receive a follow-up text message (intervention condition), or will not receive a text message (control condition). The Patrol West Bureau will be the trial site, with officers from all four shifts collecting information on DV/IPV service calls that meet trial eligibility criteria. Persons involved in service calls related to domestic violence or intimate partner violence will be randomized to one of the text message conditions. This includes calls in which arrests are not made, but events may be precursors for future domestic violence crimes. Before the trial begins, all officers who respond to DV/IPV service calls in the Patrol West Bureau will be given information on the trial using a standardized script. They will be asked to continue to respond to DV/IPV service calls as usual but that they should collect a cell phone number for both parties involved in domestic violence incidents in which no arrest is made. The officers will submit their daily reports on “miscellaneous” or “6100” service calls for domestic violence-type events to the Bureau Captain, who will then provide these reports to the on-site trial director. After launch, officers in the Patrol West Bureau will document mobile phone numbers for all individuals involved in events leading to DV/IPV service calls, and meet trial criterial. Case numbers will be used to randomly assign service calls to condition. Report/case numbers that end in an even number will be assigned to the text message condition (intervention) and case numbers that end in an odd number will be assigned to control condition. A text message program will send out texts on appropriate days to those in the intervention condition; the first within 2 days of the service call, and a second within 7 days. The first text message will read “You were recently contacted by police because of an alleged domestic violence event. Although disagreements happen, please understand that they shouldn’t result in violence. Please call 911 if you need immediate help. Resources can be found at www.wichita.gov/ICTdv.” The second text message will read: Don’t get caught up in arguments or violence: Take a time out. If you are upset, step away from the situation. Arguments and anger is scary for children and can affect brain development! The Wichita Police Department is taking new actions when responding to domestic violence. Resources can be found at www.wichita.gov/ICTdv. If you need immediate help, CALL 911. Those randomly assigned to the control condition will not receive text messages. This trial is expected to be implemented for 3 months, although the trial length may be extended to allow for sufficient data.

description: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation war die Entwicklung neuartiger Strategien zur nachträglichen Vernetzung von thermoplastischen Polymeren. Diesem Ziel folgend wurden neue Strategien zur Vernetzung sowie neu angepasste Vernetzungssysteme für isotaktisches Polypropylen (iPP), syndiotaktisches Polypropylen (sPP), Polybuten-1 (PB-1), Polyethylenterephthalat (PET), Polybutylenterephthalat (PBT), Polyamid 6 (PA6), Polyamid 11 (PA11), Polyether-Block-Amid (PEBA), Polyethyloxazolin (PEtOx), Chloropren-Kautschuk (CR) sowie Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) entwickelt. Bei der Untersuchung der Polymernetzwerke konnten hervorragende Form-gedächtniseigenschaften wie hohe rückstellbare Dehnungen (iPP, sPP, PA11, CR), hohe Triggertemperaturen (PET, PBT, PA6), Kaltprogrammierbarkeit (sPP, PET, PBT, PEBA, CR), ein Zwei-Wege-Formgedächtniseffekt (PB-1) und ein Triple-Shape-Memory Effekt (sPP, PET, PEBA) entdeckt werden. Zudem wird gezeigt, dass vernetzten Thermoplasten eine permanente, über den Querschnitt homogene Orientierung im Schmelzzustand aufgeprägt werden kann. Im Falle von PET war es dadurch möglich durch Kristallisation aus der orientierten Schmelze beeindruckende mechanische Eigenschaften zu erzeugen, die sonst nur PET-Fasern aus klassischen Schmelzspinnverfahren vorbehalten sind. Weiterhin wird am Beispiel von leicht vernetztem sPP gezeigt, dass sich Formgedächtnispolymere unter bestimmten Bedingungen hervorragend zur Absorption und Dämpfung mechanischer Energie, bzw. schlagartiger Belastungen eignen. Zuletzt wird anhand des Triple-Shape-Memory Effekts von Netzwerken auf Basis von sPP und PET ein Konzept für ein neuartiges heizratensensitives Smart Material vorgestellt, welches beispielsweise dazu verwendet werden kann eine potenziell drohende Überhitzung bei Aufheizprozessen zu verhindern.

description: Place du vaccin polio inactivé dans le Programme élargi de vaccination Il peut paraître surprenant que le Comité de rédaction de Médecine Tropicale et Santé Internationale (MTSI) accepte de publier l’article intitulé « Augmentation de l’efficience d’un PEV en stratégie mobile utilisant le vaccin polio inactivé en Afrique », 35 ans après la fin du travail effectué en 1988. Je livre brièvement ici la justification de cette décision. Position of killed polio vaccine in the Expanded Program on Immunization It may seem surprising that the Editorial Board of Médecine Tropicale et Santé Internationale (MTSI) would agree to publish the article "Increasing the efficiency of a mobile EPI strategy using injectable polio vaccine in Africa" 35 years after the work was completed in 1988. I briefly outline the rationale for this decision here.

description: The use of energy flexibility to balance electricity demand and supply is becoming increasingly important due to the growing share of fluctuating energy sources. Electric flexibility regarding time or magnitude of consumption can be offered in the form of different products on electricity spot and balancing power markets. In the wake of the energy transition and because of new possibilities provided by digitalization, the decision intervals on these markets are becoming shorter and the controllability of electricity consumption and generation more small-scale. This evolution opens up new chances for formerly passive energy consumers. This thesis shows how electric flexibility can be monetized using the application example of commercial sites. These are often multimodal energy systems coupling electricity, heat, and gas, and thus deliver high flexibility potential. To leverage this potential, a comprehensive picture of demand-side flexibilization is provided and used to propose an energy management system and optimization for cost-optimized device schedules. The cost-optimization considers two simultaneous incentives: variable day-ahead spot market prices and revenues for offering possible schedule adjustments to the automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR) balancing market. To solve the formulated optimization problem, a genetic algorithm is presented, tailored to the specific needs of consumers. In addition to addressing the trade-off between the two competing markets, the algorithm inherently considers the uncertain activation of aFRR bids and related catch-up effects. An analysis of the activation behavior of aFRR balancing market bids, based on a developed ex-post simulation, forms an important decision basis for the optimization. Finally, a simulation study concentrating on battery energy storage systems and combined heat and power plants on the consumer side enables the quantitative discussion of the optimization potential. The results show that consumers considering both markets simultaneously can achieve cost benefits that are up to multiples of those for pure day-ahead price optimization, despite the stochastic nature of aFRR balancing power activations. In conclusion, this thesis enables formerly passive electricity consumers to assume the role of alternative balancing service providers, hence contributing to the economic and reliable operation of power grids characterized by a high share of renewable energy sources.

description: Claim paragraph (from the sourcing sheet): We selected the claim that TP [time pressure] will reduce cognitive understanding and, hence, increase the insensitivity index [insensitivity toward likelihood changes]. This reflects the following statement from the paper’s abstract: “People do not become more ambiguity averse under time pressure but become more insensitive (perceive more ambiguity).” The claim was tested by running OLS regressions to study the impact of TP on a-insensitivity [ambiguity-generated insensitivity (a-insensitivity) index] and ambiguity aversion [ambiguity aversion index is b]. Standard errors were clustered at the individual level because two values of each index were obtained per subject (one for each part). Furthermore, Seemingly Unrelated Regressions were used because the residuals of the regression on “a” were correlated with the residuals of the regression on “b.” In the baseline model (Model 1 in the result tables), the authors took Part 1 in the control treatment as the reference group and considered three dummy variables: part 2 * control, part 1 * TP, and part 2 * TP, where each variable takes value 1 if the observation is from the specific part in the specific treatment. Table V displays the results of the regressions for the a index. This analysis yielded that there is much more a-insensitivity for the TP questions (Part 1 of TP treatment; from Table V, Model 1, “Part 1 * TP treatment” term: point estimate = 0.19; SE = 0.09; p < 0.05). The focal test in the original paper is: This analysis yielded that there is much more a-insensitivity for the TP questions (Part 1 of TP treatment; from Table V, Model 1, “Part 1 * TP treatment” term: point estimate = 0.19; SE = 0.09; p < 0.05).

description: In response to a significant decline in tenure track faculty positions, nationally, and the need to support doctoral students, post-docs, and others considering alternative academic (altac) positions, we moved quickly to create and release a resource guide in draft form just in time for a two-day campus-wide event attended by over 100 students and faculty. The guide captured an exploding national conversation, and provided traditional and non-traditional resources for exploring altac careers. Members of the target audience participated in its development during the event and began tweeting the guide, sharing how it was useful to them, and suggesting additional resources.

description: We have synthesized high-quality single crystals of volborthite, a seemingly distorted kagome antiferromagnet, and carried out high-field magnetization measurements up to 74 T and 51V NMR measurements up to 30 T. An extremely wide 1/3 magnetization plateau appears above 28 T and continues over 74 T at 1.4 K, which has not been observed in previous study using polycrystalline samples. NMR spectra reveal an incommensurate order (most likely a spin-density wave order) below 22 T and a simple spin structure in the plateau phase. Moreover, a novel intermediate phase is found between 23 and 26 T, where the magnetization varies linearly with magnetic field and the NMR spectra indicate an inhomogeneous distribution of the internal magnetic field. This sequence of phases in volborthite bear a striking similarity to those of frustrated spin chains with a ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor coupling J1 competing with an antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor coupling J2.
