{"title":"North Polar Spur/Loop I: gigantic outskirt of the Northern Fermi bubble or nearby hot gas cavity blown by supernovae?","authors":"R. Lallement","doi":"10.5802/crphys.97","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5802/crphys.97","url":null,"abstract":"Radio continuum, microwave and gamma-ray images of the Milky Way reveal a conspicuous, loop-like structure that fills almost half of the northern Galactic hemisphere, called Loop I. The interior of Loop I is shining in soft X-rays, and its eastern base is a bright, elongated structure dubbed the North Polar Spur (NPS). After 40 years of debates, two contradictory views of Loop I/NPS are still defended: on the one hand, the NPS is a volume of expanding hot gas that envelops and extends the northern Fermi Bubble (FB) known to be blown by the Galactic center, and Loop I marks the shock front; on the other hand, the NPS is a nearby cavity of hot gas blown by supernovae, Loop I is its shock front and they are coincidentally located in the direction of the FB. To an observer at the Sun, both structures can produce the same perspective view, although the former has a size comparable to the Milky Way itself, and the latter a diameter of a few hundreds parsecs. The energy involved varies by 3-4~orders of magnitude, and the solution has various important consequences. I discuss recent results which have a connection with Loop I/NPS, overlooked or used as arguments in the two opposite ways. They involve very different spacecraft, from a 12 Kg Cubesat (HaloSat) to major space-borne observatories (HST, Gaia, and Spektr-RG). I make use of 3D~maps of dust and a massive star catalog. Considering all constraints, it is clear that there is no entirely local or entirely distant scenario that is free from contradictions with some of the data analyses or from improbable coincidences. I discuss a speculative scenario, partially inspired by recent BF and Milky Way gas models, combining near and far aspects and seeming to be able to meet the various constraints. However, new data and models are needed to bring the controversy to a close and we can still expect new episodes of this long story.","PeriodicalId":50650,"journal":{"name":"Comptes Rendus Physique","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48146804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While non-Gaussian spin states can produce larger quantum enhancements than spin-squeezed Gaussian states, their use requires the measurement of observables that are nonlinear functions of the three components of the collective spin. In this paper we develop strategies that achieve the optimal quantum enhancements using non-Gaussian states produced by a nonlinear one-axis-twisting Hamiltonian, and show that measurement-after-interaction techniques, known to amplify the output signals in quantum parameter estimation protocols, are effective in measuring nonlinear spin observables. Including the presence of the relevant decoherence processes from atomic experiments, we determine analytically the quantum enhancement of non-Gaussian over-squeezed states as a function of the noise parameters for arbitrary atom numbers.","PeriodicalId":50650,"journal":{"name":"Comptes Rendus Physique","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42947431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laulhé","doi":"10.5802/crphys.89","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5802/crphys.89","url":null,"abstract":"Recent experiments have shown that the high-temperature incommensurate (I) charge density wave (CDW) phase of 1T-TaS2 can be photoinduced from the lower-temperature, nearly commensurate CDW state. In a first step, several independent regions exhibiting I-CDW phase modulations nucleate and grow. After coalescence, these regions form a multidomain I-CDW phase that undergoes coarsening dynamics, i.e. a progressive increase of the domain size or I-CDW correlation length. Using time-resolved X-ray diffraction, we show that the wave vector of the photoinduced I-CDW phase is shorter than in the I-CDW phase at equilibrium, and progressively increases towards its equilibrium value as the correlation length increases. We interpret this behaviour as a consequence of a self-doping of the photoinduced I-CDW, following the presence of trapped electrons in the vicinity of CDW dislocation sites. Putting together results of the present and past experiments, we develop a scenario in which the I-CDW dislocations are created during the coalescence of the I-CDW phase regions. Résumé. Plusieurs expériences récentes ont montré que les impulsions laser dans les domaines optique ou proche infrarouge permettent de déclencher des transitions entre états à onde de densité de charge (ODC) dans 1T-TaS2. Nous nous intéressons ici à la transition entre l’état à ODC presque commensurable (NC) ∗Corresponding author. ISSN (electronic) : 1878-1535 https://comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/physique/ 2 Amélie Jarnac et al. et l’état à ODC incommensurable (I), habituellement observé au-dessus de 350 K. Lors de cette transition, plusieurs régions présentant les modulations de l’état I se forment et se développent. Lorsque la coalescence a lieu, ces régions se muent en domaines de la phase I photoinduite de 1T-TaS2, caractérisés chacun par un phasage particulier de l’ODC I. La phase I ainsi fragmentée en domaines subit alors une dynamique de mûrissement, c’est-à-dire une augmentation progressive de la taille de domaine ou encore de la longueur de corrélation de l’ODC I. En utilisant la diffraction des rayons X résolue en temps, nous montrons que le vecteur d’onde de l’ODC I photoinduite est plus court que dans l’ODC I observée à l’équilibre thermodynamique. Celui-ci s’allonge progressivement vers sa valeur d’équilibre, en même temps que la longueur de corrélation de l’ODC I augmente. Nous attribuons ce comportement à un autodopage de l’ODC I photoinduite, dû à la présence d’électrons piégés au voisinage de dislocations de l’ODC I. En réalisant une synthèse des résultats des différentes expériences menées jusqu’à présent, nous développons un scénario dans lequel les dislocations de l’ODC I sont créées au moment de la coalescence.","PeriodicalId":50650,"journal":{"name":"Comptes Rendus Physique","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48150471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Xue","doi":"10.5802/crphys.87","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5802/crphys.87","url":null,"abstract":". The superconductivity confined in a two-dimensional interface exhibits many exotic phenomena that have certain counterparts in layered cuprates and iron-based superconductors, and thus provides rare opportunities to reveal the mystery of high temperature superconductivity therein. By constructing and tailoring hybrid heterostructures such as FeSe/SrTiO 3 (FeSe/STO), interface-enhanced superconductivity arouses, and the substrate has been demonstrated to provide the phonons and enhance the strong electron– phonon coupling (EPC) withinmonolayer FeSe. More research and reporting systems uncover that the band-bending induced charge transfer at the interface could become a unified microscopic picture to design the andunconventionalsuperconductors,thecommoncharacteristicssuchasbandbendingandrigidbandshift are perceived in the FeSe/STO, LAO/STO and cuprate superconductors. This review may provide important information to inspect the mechanism of high- T c superconductivity from a di ff erent view. a unified microscopic picture on how the interface superconductivity is prompted remains puzzling. For this purpose, we not only review the experimental research including spectroscopic study of 1UC FeSe/STO, CuO 2 /Bi2212, but also reexamine the previous results of LAO/STO [31] and even cuprate superconductors, and aim to capture the common characteristics among them. The ef-fects of charge transfer and band alignment are discussed first in the four systems. Then the rigid band shift and EPC are examined in the 1UC FeSe/STO, cuprates and LAO/STO systems. The polar nature’s influence on LAO/STO and cuprate on the tilted band structure is highlighted.

Standard approaches to probe the Berry phase in solids rely on the electron dynamics in response to electromagnetic forces. In graphene, probing the Berry phase π of the massless relativistic electrons requires an external magnetic field. Here, we show that the Berry phase also affects the static response of the electrons to a single atomic scatterer, through wavefront dislocations in the surrounding standing-wave interference. This provides a new experimental method to measure the graphene Berry phase in the absence of any magnetic field and demonstrates that local disorder can be exploited as probe of topological quantum matter in scanning tunnelling microscopy experiments.
