Subcycle interference upon tunnel ionization by counter-rotating two-color fields

We report on three-dimensional (3D) electron momentum distributions from single ionization of helium by a laser pulse consisting of two counter-rotating circularly polarized fields (390 and 780 nm). A pronounced 3D low-energy structure and subcycle interferences are observed experimentally and reproduced numerically using a trajectory-based semiclassical simulation. The orientation of the low-energy structure in the polarization plane is verified by numerical simulations solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation.This Rapid Communication was supported by the DFG Priority Programme “Quantum Dynamics in Tailored Intense Fields” of the German Research Foundation (Project No. DO 604/29-1).

Effects of eight neuropsychiatric copy number variants on human brain structure

peer reviewedMany copy number variants (CNVs) confer risk for the same range of neurodevelopmental symptoms and psychiatric conditions including autism and schizophrenia. Yet, to date neuroimaging studies have typically been carried out one mutation at a time, showing that CNVs have large effects on brain anatomy. Here, we aimed to characterize and quantify the distinct brain morphometry effects and latent dimensions across 8 neuropsychiatric CNVs. We analyzed T1-weighted MRI data from clinically and non-clinically ascertained CNV carriers (deletion/duplication) at the 1q21.1 (n = 39/28), 16p11.2 (n = 87/78), 22q11.2 (n = 75/30), and 15q11.2 (n = 72/76) loci as well as 1296 non-carriers (controls). Case-control contrasts of all examined genomic loci demonstrated effects on brain anatomy, with deletions and duplications showing mirror effects at the global and regional levels. Although CNVs mainly showed distinct brain patterns, principal component analysis (PCA) loaded subsets of CNVs on two latent brain dimensions, which explained 32 and 29% of the variance of the 8 Cohen’s d maps. The cingulate gyrus, insula, supplementary motor cortex, and cerebellum were identified by PCA and multi-view pattern learning as top regions contributing to latent dimension shared across subsets of CNVs. The large proportion of distinct CNV effects on brain morphology may explain the small neuroimaging effect sizes reported in polygenic psychiatric conditions. Nevertheless, latent gene brain morphology dimensions will help subgroup the rapidly expanding landscape of neuropsychiatric variants and dissect the heterogeneity of idiopathic conditions. © 2021, The Author(s)

Hoch absorbierendes Schichtsysstem, Verfahren zur Herstellung des Schichtsystems und dafür geeignetes Sputtertarget

The invention relates to a light absorbing layer system consisting of at least two layers, one of which is an anti-reflective layer which faces an observer and which is made from a dielectric material, and at least one other layer is an absorbing layer facing away from the observer and is made from an oxide or from an oxynitride having a sub-stoichiometric oxygen content. Said layer system has a wavelength range of between 380 - 780nm including a visual transmission Tv of less than 1% and a visual reflection Rv of less than 6% and is characterised by a kappa absorption index of at least 0.70 with a wavelength of 550 mn
