«We refer to this spin current as thermally - driven and believe that our results extend the emerging discipline of spin caloritronics into the regime of picosecond time scales. (sciencedaily.com)
Exposure to intense light at low temperature induces a phase transition in a cuprate superconductor during which it expands within a few picoseconds and then gradually contracts. (science.sciencemag.org)
«The explanation is, in brief, that in metals, irradiation produces on picosecond time scales a liquid - like zone, which during the cooling - down phase recombines much of the initially produced damage, leading to a factor of 1/3 reduction in damage,» says Professor Kai Nordlund who was in lead of the team on search for more accurate predictions of usability of materials in nuclear environments, that now present their results freshly in Nature Communications.
