Warm HCN, C2H2, and CO in the disk of GV Tau
We present the first high-resolution, ground-based observations of HCN and
C2H2 toward the T Tauri binary star system GV Tau. We detected strong
absorption due to HCN nu_3 and weak C2H2 (nu_3 and nu_2 + (nu_4 + nu_5)^0_+)
absorption toward the primary (GV Tau S) but not the infrared companion. We
also report CO column densities and rotational temperatures, and present
abundances relative to CO of HCN/CO ~0.6% and C2H2/CO ~1.2% and an upper limit
for CH4/CO < 0.37% toward GV Tau S. Neither HCN nor C2H2 were detected toward
the infrared companion and results suggest that abundances may differ between
the two sources.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures, accepted by Ap

Energy dissipation in the time domain governed by bosons in a correlated material
In complex materials various interactions play important roles in determining
the material properties. Angle Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (ARPES) has
been used to study these processes by resolving the complex single particle
self energy and quantifying how quantum interactions modify bare
electronic states. However, ambiguities in the measurement of the real part of
the self energy and an intrinsic inability to disentangle various contributions
to the imaginary part of the self energy often leave the implications of such
measurements open to debate. Here we employ a combined theoretical and
experimental treatment of femtosecond time-resolved ARPES (tr-ARPES) and show
how measuring the population dynamics using tr-ARPES can be used to separate
electron-boson interactions from electron-electron interactions. We demonstrate
the analysis of a well-defined electron-boson interaction in the unoccupied
spectrum of the cuprate BiSrCaCuO characterized by an
excited population decay time constant that maps directly to a
discrete component of the equilibrium self energy not readily isolated by
static ARPES experiments.Comment: 19 pages with 6 figure

Time- and momentum-resolved photoemission studies using time-of-flight momentum microscopy at a free-electron laser
Time-resolved photoemission with ultrafast pump and probe pulses is an emerging technique with wide application potential. Real-time recording of nonequilibrium electronic processes, transient states in chemical reactions, or the interplay of electronic and structural dynamics offers fascinating opportunities for future research. Combining valence-band and core-level spectroscopy with photoelectron diffraction for electronic, chemical, and structural analyses requires few 10 fs soft X-ray pulses with some 10 meV spectral resolution, which are currently available at high repetition rate free-electron lasers. We have constructed and optimized a versatile setup commissioned at FLASH/PG2 that combines free-electron laser capabilities together with a multidimensional recording scheme for photoemission studies. We use a full-field imaging momentum microscope with time-of-flight energy recording as the detector for mapping of 3D band structures in (kx, ky, E) parameter space with unprecedented efficiency. Our instrument can image full surface Brillouin zones with up to 7 Å−1 diameter in a binding-energy range of several eV, resolving about 2.5 × 105 data voxels simultaneously. Using the ultrafast excited state dynamics in the van der Waals semiconductor WSe2 measured at photon energies of 36.5 eV and 109.5 eV, we demonstrate an experimental energy resolution of 130 meV, a momentum resolution of 0.06 Å−1, and a system response function of 150 fs
Robust Magnetic Order Upon Ultrafast Excitation of an Antiferromagnet
The ultrafast manipulation of magnetic order due to optical excitation is governed by the intricate flow of energy and momentum between the electron, lattice, and spin subsystems. While various models are commonly employed to describe these dynamics, a prominent example being the microscopic three temperature model (M3TM), systematic, quantitative comparisons to both the dynamics of energy flow and magnetic order are scarce. Here, an M3TM was applied to the ultrafast magnetic order dynamics of the layered antiferromagnet GdRh2Si2. The femtosecond dynamics of electronic temperature, surface ferromagnetic order, and bulk antiferromagnetic order were explored at various pump fluences employing time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and time-resolved resonant magnetic soft X-ray diffraction, respectively. After optical excitation, both the surface ferromagnetic order and the bulk antiferromagnetic order dynamics exhibit two-step demagnetization behaviors with two similar timescales (<1 ps, ∼10 ps), indicating a strong exchange coupling between localized 4f and itinerant conduction electrons. Despite a good qualitative agreement, the M3TM predicts larger demagnetization than the experimental observation, which can be phenomenologically described by a transient, fluence-dependent increased Néel temperature. The results indicate that effects beyond a mean-field description have to be considered for a quantitative description of ultrafast magnetic order dynamics
Applying a User-centred Approach to Interactive Visualization Design
Analysing users in their context of work and finding out how and why they use different information resources is essential to provide interactive visualisation systems that match their goals and needs. Designers should actively involve the intended users throughout the whole process. This chapter presents a user-centered approach for the design of interactive visualisation systems. We describe three phases of the iterative visualisation design process: the early envisioning phase, the global specification hase, and the detailed specification phase. The whole design cycle is repeated until some criterion of success is reached. We discuss different techniques for the analysis of users, their tasks and domain. Subsequently, the design of prototypes and evaluation methods in visualisation practice are presented. Finally, we discuss the practical challenges in design and evaluation of collaborative visualisation environments. Our own case studies and those of others are used throughout the whole chapter to illustrate various approaches
Warm Gas in the Inner Disks around Young Intermediate Mass Stars
The characterization of gas in the inner disks around young stars is of particular interest because of its connection to planet formation. In order to study the gas in inner disks, we have obtained high-resolution K-band and M-band spectroscopy of 14 intermediate mass young stars. In sources that have optically thick inner disks, i.e. E(K-L)>1, our detection rate of the ro-vibrational CO transitions is 100% and the gas is thermally excited. Of the five sources that do not have optically thick inner disks, we only detect the ro-vibrational CO transitions from HD 141569. In this case, we show that the gas is excited by UV fluorescence and that the inner disk is devoid of gas and dust. We discuss the plausibility of the various scenarios for forming this inner hole. Our modeling of the UV fluoresced gas suggests an additional method by which to search for and/or place stringent limits on gas in dust depleted regions in disks around Herbig Ae/Be stars
