Relationship of MR imaging of submandibular glands to hyposalivation in Sjögren\u27s syndrome
Few-molecule reservoir computing experimentally demonstrated with surface enhanced Raman scattering and ion-gating stimulation
Reservoir computing (RC) is a promising solution for achieving low power
consumption neuromorphic computing, although the large volume of the physical
reservoirs reported to date has been a serious drawback in their practical
application. Here, we report the development of a few-molecule RC that employs
the molecular vibration dynamics in the para-mercaptobenzoic acid (pMBA)
detected by surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with tungsten oxide
nanorod/silver nanoparticles (WOx@Ag-NPs). The Raman signals of the pMBA
molecules, adsorbed at the SERS active site of WOx@Ag-NPs, were reversibly
perturbated by the application of voltage-induced local pH changes in the
vicinity of the molecules, and then used to perform RC of pattern recognition
and prediction tasks. In spite of the small number of molecules employed, our
system achieved good performance, including 95.1% to 97.7% accuracy in various
nonlinear waveform transformations and 94.3% accuracy in solving a second-order
nonlinear dynamic equation task. Our work provides a new concept of molecular
computing with practical computation capabilities.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figure
High-field magnetization and magnetic phase transition in CeOs2Al10
We have studied the magnetization of CeOs2Al10 in high magnetic fields up to
55 T for H // a and constructed the magnetic phase diagram for H // a. The
magnetization curve shows a concave H dependence below T_max \sim40 K which is
higher than the transition temperature T_0 \sim29 K. The magnetic
susceptibility along the a-axis shows a smooth and continuous decrease down to
\sim20 K below T_max \sim40 K without showing an anomaly at T_0. From these two
results, a Kondo singlet is formed below T_max and coexists with the antiferro
magnetic order below T_0. We also propose that the larger suppression of the
spin degrees of freedom along the a-axis than along the c-axis below T_max is
associated with the origin of the antiferro magnetic component.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. B, Rapid Commu
