Classification of colorectal primer carcinoma from normal colon with mid-infrared spectra

In this project, we used formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples to measure thousands of spectra per tissue core with Fourier transform mid-infrared spectroscopy using an FT-IR imaging system. These cores varied between normal colon (NC) and colorectal primer carcinoma (CRC) tissues. We created a database to manage all the multivariate data obtained from the measurements. Then, we applied classifier algorithms to identify the tissue based on its yielded spectra. For classification, we used the random forest, a support vector machine, XGBoost, and linear discriminant analysis methods, as well as three deep neural networks. We compared two data manipulation techniques using these models and then applied filtering. In the end, we compared model performances via the sum of ranking differences (SRD).

The generic phase diagram of spin relaxation in solids and the Loschmidt echo

The spin relaxation time in solids is determined by several competing energy scales and processes and distinct methods are called for to analyze the various regimes. We present a stochastic model for the spin dynamics in solids which is equivalent to solving the spin Boltzmann equation and takes the relevant processes into account on equal footing. The calculations reveal yet unknown parts of the spin-relaxation phase diagram, where strong spin-dephasing occurs in addition to spin-relaxation. Spin-relaxation times are obtained for this regime by introducing the numerical Loschmidt echo. This allows us to construct a generic approximate formula for the spin-relaxation time, $τ_{\text{s}}$, for the entire phase diagram, involving the quasiparticle scattering rate, $Γ$, spin-orbit coupling strength, $\mathcal{L}$, and a magnetic term, $Δ_{\text{Z}}$ due to the Zeeman effect. The generic expression reads as $\hbar/τ_{\text{s}}\approx Γ\cdot \mathcal{L}^2 /(Γ^2+\mathcal{L}^2+Δ_{\text{Z}}^2)$.

Modified Pade approach for analytic continuation: Application to the zero-gap Kondo lattice model

A modified Pade approach is presented as analytic continuation for numerical methods that evaluate correlation functions in imaginary time. Instead of the direct analytic continuation of the correlation functions, the Pade method is applied for the self-energy that is then used for deriving the Green's functions at real energies. We find that this modified, self-energy Pade approach is more stable and robust against statistical errors compared to the direct way. The characteristics and success of the modified Pade approach are analyzed by actual calculations for the illustrative cases of the non-interacting Anderson lattice and Hubbard model. A zero-gap Kondo lattice model with linearly vanishing conduction electron density of states at the Fermi level is also studied, where we use the modified Pade approach as analytic continuation. We investigate the properties of the Kondo insulating state including the dependence of the insulating gap on the Kondo coupling and coherence effects. Furthermore, we identify two energy scales from dynamic and thermodynamic quantities, that are associated as a direct and an indirect gap in a band hybridization picture.

An intuitive approach to the unified theory of spin-relaxation

Spin-relaxation is conventionally discussed using two different approaches for materials with and without inversion symmetry. The former is known as the Elliott-Yafet (EY) theory and for the latter the D'yakonov-Perel' (DP) theory applies, respectively. We discuss herein a simple and intuitive approach to demonstrate that the two seemingly disparate mechanisms are closely related. A compelling analogy between the respective Hamiltonian is presented and that the usual derivation of spin-relaxation times, in the respective frameworks of the two theories, can be performed. The result also allows to obtain the less canonical spin-relaxation regimes; the generalization of the EY when the material has a large quasiparticle broadening and the DP mechanism in ultrapure semiconductors. The method also allows a practical and intuitive numerical implementation of the spin-relaxation calculation, which is demonstrated for MgB$_2$ that has anomalous spin-relaxation properties.

Determining the 7Li(n,gamma) cross section via Coulomb dissociation of 8Li

The applicability of Coulomb dissociation reactions to determine the cross section for the inverse neutron capture reaction was explored using the reaction 8Li(gamma,n)7Li. A 69.5 MeV/nucleon 8Li beam was incident on a Pb target, and the outgoing neutron and 7Li nucleus were measured in coincidence. The deduced (n,gamma) excitation function is consistent with data for the direct capture reaction 7Li(n,gamma)8Li and with low-energy effective field theory calculations.

Enhanced NMR relaxation of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids and the magnitude of the carbon hyperfine coupling in single-wall carbon nanotubes

Recent transport measurements [Churchill \textit{et al.} Nat. Phys. \textbf{5}, 321 (2009)] found a surprisingly large, 2-3 orders of magnitude larger than usual $^{13}$C hyperfine coupling (HFC) in $^{13}$C enriched single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). We formulate the theory of the nuclear relaxation time in the framework of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory to enable the determination of the HFC from recent data by Ihara \textit{et al.} [Ihara \textit{et al.} EPL \textbf{90}, 17004 (2010)]. Though we find that $1/T_1$ is orders of magnitude enhanced with respect to a Fermi-liquid behavior, the HFC has its usual, small value. Then, we reexamine the theoretical description used to extract the HFC from transport experiments and show that similar features could be obtained with HFC-independent system parameters.

Nature of the low temperature ordering of Pr in PrBa_2Cu_3O_(6+x)

Theoretical model is presented to describe the anomalous ordered phase of Pr ions in PrBa_2Cu_3O_(6+x) below T_Pr = 12-17 K. The model considers the Pr multipole degrees of freedom and coupling between the Cu and Pr subsystems. We identify the symmetry allowed coupling of Cu and Pr ions and conclude that only an ab-plane Pr dipole ordering can explain the Cu spin rotation observed at T_Pr by neutron diffraction by Boothroyd et al. [A. T. Boothroyd et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 130 (1997)]. A substantial enhancement of the Pr ordering temperature is shown to arise from the Cu-Pr coupling which is the key for the anomalous magnetic behavior in PrBa_2Cu_3O_(6+x).

Nuclear structure study of 19,20,21N nuclei by gamma spectroscopy

The structure of neutron rich nitrogen nuclei has been studied by use of neutron removal reaction and inelastic scattering. Mass and charge deformations have been deduced for the first excited state of 21N, which indicates the partial persitence of the N=14 subshell closure in nitrogen isotopes. The spectroscopic information obtained on the structure of 19,20,21N confirms the results from a previous experiment.

Diffraction from Ordered States of Higher Multipoles

Possible ways of identification are discussed of an electronic order of higher multipoles such as octupoles and hexadecapoles. A particularly powerful method is resonant X-ray scattering (RXS) using quadrupolar resonance processes called E2.The characteristic azimuthal angle dependence of Ce$_{0.7}$La$_{0.3}$B$_6$ is interpreted as evidence of antiferro-octupole order. For PrRu$_4$P$_{12}$, eightfold pattern against azimuthal angle is predicted if its metal-insulator transition is a consequence of a hexadecapole order. In non-resonant superlattice Bragg scattering, hexadecapole contribution may also be identified because of absence of quadrupole component.

Hybridization effects and multipole orders in Pr skutterudites

Theoretical account is given of 4f-electron dynamics and multipole orders in Pr skutterudites with particular attention to (i) mechanism of the crystalline electric field (CEF) splitting leading to a pseudo-quartet ground state;(ii) Kondo effect due to exchange interactions involving the pseudo-quartet;(iii) multipole orders in the lattice of the pseudo-quartet in magnetic field.Competition between the point-charge interaction andhybridization between 4f and conduction electrons is identified as the key for controlling the CEF splitting. It is found that one of two pseudo-spins forming the pseudo-quartet has a ferromagnetic exchange, while the other has an antiferromagnetic exchange with conduction electrons. The Kondo effect is clearly seen in the resistivity calculated by the NCA, provided the low-lying triplet above the singlet is mainly composed of the $Γ_4$-type wave functions.If the weight of the $Γ_5$-type is large in the triplet, the Kondo effect does not appear.This difference caused by the nature of the triplet explains the presence of the Kondo effect inPrFe$_4$P$_{12}$, and its absence in PrOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$.By taking the minimal model with antiferro-quadrupole (AFQ) and ferro-type intersite interactions for dipoles and octupoles between nearest-neighbors,the mean-field theory reproduces the overall feature of the multiple ordered phases in PrFe$_4$P$_{12}$. The AFQ order with the $Γ_3$-type symmetry is found to be stable only as a mixture of $O_2^0$ and $O_2^2$ components.

Quadrupolar interactions in Pr compounds: PrFe4P12 and PrBa2Cu3O6

We examine trivalent Pr crystal field models with near-degeneracy of the two lowest crystal field levels, where interaction-induced quadrupolar and dipolar moments are as important as the permanent moments of the crystal field ground state. We find that the Gamma1-Gamma4 level scheme yields a successful description of the antiferroquadrupolar ordering of PrFe4P12. For PrBa2Cu3O6, we argue that quadrupolar interaction is important for understanding the Pr ordering transition at 11K.

Competition and coexistence of magnetic and quadrupolar ordering

The large number of low-lying states of d- and f-shells supports a variety of order parameters. The effective dimensionality of the local Hilbert space depends on the strength, and kind, of intersite interactions. This gives rise to complicated phase diagrams, and an enhanced role of frustration and fluctuation effects. The general principles are illustrated on the example of the effect of a magnetic field on quadrupolar phase transitions in some Pr-based skutterudite compounds.
