Derkach D., Bocharnikov V., Hushchyn M., Ryzhikov A., Boldyrev A.

The Ξ0⁢(−)𝑏→Ξ𝑐⁢(3055)+(0)⁢(→𝐷+(0)⁢Λ)⁢𝜋− decay chains are observed, and the spin-parity of Ξ𝑐⁢(3055)+(0) baryons is determined for the first time. The measurement is performed using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of √𝑠 =13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1, recorded by the LHCb experiment between 2016 and 2018. The spin-parity of the Ξ𝑐⁢(3055)+(0) baryons is determined to be 3/2+ with a significance of more than 6.5⁢𝜎 (3.5⁢𝜎) compared to all other tested hypotheses. The up-down asymmetries of the Ξ0⁢(−)𝑏→Ξ𝑐⁢(3055)+(0)⁢𝜋− transitions are measured to be −0.92±0.10±0.05 (−0.92±0.16±0.22), consistent with maximal parity violation, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. These results support the hypothesis that the Ξ𝑐⁢(3055)+(0) baryons correspond to the first 𝐷-wave 𝜆-mode excitation of the Ξ𝑐 flavor triplet.

Understanding the electric double layer at electrode–electrolyte interfaces, Part III: crystallographic-face dependence of silver capacitance in aqueous NaF solutions

Mazur D., Brandyshev P., Doronin S. V. et al., Electrochimica Acta 2026 Vol. 577 Article 149729

The electric double layer (EDL) at a single-crystal metal surface is controlled not only by the electrolyte composition and the electrode potential, but also by the atomic structure of the surface itself. This makes the Ag(hkl)/NaF interface a stringent test for continuum theories of the EDL. In the third part of our series, we examine ...

The magnetothermal properties of the quaternary Fe49Rh46.1Pd3.1Ir1.8 alloy are investigated by a combination of first-principles calculations, structural characterization, magnetometry, calorimetry, and direct measurements of the adiabatic temperature change. An exceptional magnetocaloric response is obtained, with ΔTad reaching −11.9 K in a field of 1.85 T under the discontinuous protocol and −8.6 K under the continuous ...

Quantum viscosity mechanism of dissipative dynamics in the Dicke model expressed via Lindblad equation of motion

Beck M. E., Seidov S., Mukhin S., Physical Review A: Atomic, Molecular, and Optical physics 2026

Quantum dissipation is studied in the superradiant phase of the extended Dicke model. It is demonstrated analytically by quantum mechanical derivation of the Lindblad equation for the Dicke model in the superradiant state coupled to Caldeira-Leggett thermal bath that the effective viscosity appearing in the semiclassical equations of motion of polaritonic condensate survives in the zero-temperature limit ...

We continue the study of non-Abelian vortex string in 4D N =2 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) as critical superstring, and extend this analysis to UðNÞ gauge theory with arbitrary even N and Nf = 2N number of quarks. We introduce a special mass deformation and show that the SQCD hadron spectrum is still given by the string spectrum on the ...

Hall effect in electrolyte solutions: Self-consistent Debye–Hückel–Onsager theory

Budkov Y., Kalikin N., Journal of Chemical Physics 2026 Vol. 165 Article 064506

A self-consistent statistical-mechanical theory of the Hall effect in electrolyte solutions is developed by extending the self-consistent Debye–Hückel–Onsager (SCDHO) framework to crossed electric and magnetic fields. The theory incorporates non-local ionic charge distributions via Slater-type form factors, regularizing the Coulomb interaction at short range, and accounts for dielectric friction through ion-specific coefficients, employing experimental values ...

Data-Efficient Unsupervised Recalibration of Calorimeter Sensor Arrays Using Wasserstein Adversarial Learning

Ali S., Bocharnikov V., Ratnikov F. et al., Sensors 2026 Vol. 26 No. 16 Article 5024

Large distributed sensor arrays require repeated recalibration as radiation damage, material aging, gain variation, and readout drift alter channel responses. We studied a high-granularity calorimeter as a large sensor array and addressed unsupervised recalibration from two unpaired datasets: a nominal reference response and an aged response with attenuated cell-wise signals. Aging was modeled by a ...

The effect of ultra-rapid electron detachment from negative ions on effective attachment coefficient in H2O:O2 and H2O:air mixtures at moderate reduced electric fields

Ponomarev A., Aleksandrov N., Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics 2026 Vol. 59 Article 315205

Electron attachment and detachment in H2O:O2 and H2O:air mixtures are theoretically studied at moderate (40–100 Td) reduced electric fields. It is shown that there are two synergistic mechanisms of ultra-rapid electron detachment from negative ions in these mixtures, whereas these detachment channels are absent in pure gases. Effective attachment coefficient calculated with consideration for fast ion–molecule ...

Nevzorov A., Golikov A., Gneushev D. et al., JETP Letters 2026 Vol. 147–151 No. 3 P. 147–151

This paper demonstrates a special stochastic operation mode of a photonic element with a thin GeTe film deposited at a silicon nitride waveguide. As opposed to traditional deterministic switching between stable states, it has been shown that identical pump laser pulses cause a stochastic change in the transmission coefficient. The discovered effect opens up new ...

Dual-mode infrared detection via photovoltaic and barrier pyroelectric effects in PbTe p–n junctions

Jarashneli A., Кобцев Д. М., Upcher A. et al., Journal of Applied Physics 2026 Vol. 140 No. 2 Article 024501

In the work, two effects appeared in PbTe p–n junctions under mid-wavelength infrared (2 − 5 μm) and long-wavelength infrared irradiation (≈10.6 μm). The first effect was created by the optical absorption of lR-photons in PbTe and caused by its photovoltage effect. The second novel effect is related to the heating process and the formation ...

S. A. Andreeva, Orlov O. V., A. V. Shchepetilnikov et al., Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics 2026 Vol. 114 No. 6 Article 065420

We investigate the temperature dependence of the pseudospin phase transition at filling factor 𝜈=2 in the quantum Hall regime. Experiments were performed on a high-quality, wide AlAs quantum well, where the pseudospin degree of freedom arises naturally from the near degeneracy and equivalence of the two conduction-band valleys. The anisotropic 𝑔-factor inherent to AlAs enabled independent measurement of ...

Three-dimensional magnetization textures as quaternionic functions

Thanks to the recent progress in bulk full three-dimensional nanoscale magnetization distribution imaging, there is a growing interest to three-dimensional (3D) magnetization textures, promising new high information density spintronic applications. Compared to 1D domain walls or 2D magnetic vortices/skyrmions, they are a much harder challenge to represent, analyze and reason about. Here we build analytical representation for such ...

A simplified approach to predicting thermal expansion anisotropy of solids from first principles: application to the orthorhombic phase of Mo2C

Dmitry Vasilyev, Gorev V., Ikhsanov R. et al., Journal of Materials Science 2026 No. 61 P. 25452–25470

The orthorhombic phase of 𝛼-Mo2 C is a key component in electrocatalytic applications, as Mo2C-based catalysts can exhibit catalytic performance comparable to or exceeding that of noble metals. Despite its technological relevance, theoretical understanding of the anisotropy in the thermal expansion and related thermoelastic properties of 𝛼-Mo2 C remains limited. In this work, first-principles calculations ...

We present two models with explicit long-range electrostatics in the form of Coulomb interactions. Both models include point charges depending on their local atomic environments, and the second model also conserves a total charge of an atomic system. We combine the proposed long-range models with the local moment tensor potential (MTP) and demonstrate that they ...

The global optimization of atomic clusters represents a fundamental challenge in computational chemistry and materials science due to the exponential growth of local minima with system size (i.e., the curse of dimensionality). We introduce a framework that overcomes this limitation by exploiting the low-rank structure of potential energy surfaces through tensor train (TT) decomposition. Our ...
