Ionic liquids (ILs) feature a variety of properties that make them a unique class of solvents. To gain a better understanding of how ILs solvate compounds of different chemical structure, we used pulsed high-field electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at W-band (approximately 94 GHz) and continuous wave EPR at X-band (approximately 9.4 GHz) on three TEMPO-based spin probes with dif...

We study the reduced dynamics of open quantum spin chains arbitrary length $N$ with nearest neighbour $XX$ interactions, immersed within an external constant magnetic field along $z$ direction, whose end spins are weakly coupled to heat baths at different temperatures, via energy preserving couplings. find analytic expression unique stationary state master equation obtained in so-called global ...

Geometric frustration of interacting spin systems is the driving force of a variety of fascinating phenomena in lowdimensional magnetism. In this contribution I will review recent results on frustration-induced effects in magnetic molecules, i.e. zero-dimensional magnetic systems, as well as in a recently synthesized frustrated molecule-based spin tube, i.e. a one-dimensional spin system. c © 2...

We investigate the time evolution of a single spin excitation state in certain linear spin chains, as a model for quantum communication. We consider first the simplest possible spin chain, where the spin chain data (the nearest neighbour interaction strengths and the magnetic field strengths) are constant throughout the chain. The time evolution of a single spin state is determined, and this ti...

We analyze the quality of the quantum information transmission along a correlated quantum channel by studying the average fidelity between input and output states and the average output purity, giving bounds for the entropy of the channel. Noise correlations in the channel are modeled by the coupling of each channel use with an element of a one dimensional interacting quantum spin chain. Critic...

Here, we describe a 3-month-old XX male French Bulldog. The diagnosis was based on the clinical signs, gonadal histology and cytogenetic analysis. Additionally, the dog was confirmed to be Sry negative by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (sqRT-PCR). Canine Sry-negative XX sex reversal is a disorder of gonadal development where individuals who have a female karyo...

Abstract. We present the results obtained on the magnetisation relaxation properties of an XX quantum chain in a transverse magnetic field. We first consider an initial thermal kink-like state where half of the chain is initially thermalized at a very high temperature Tb while the remaining half, called the system, is put at a lower temperature Ts. From this initial state, we derive analyticall...
