Resummed predictions for jet-resolution scales in multijet production in e$^{+}$e$^{−}$ annihilation

We present for the first time resummed predictions at NLO + NLL′ accuracy for the Durham jet-resolution scales y$_{n,n+1}$ in multijet production in e$^{+}$e$^{−}$ collisions. Results are obtained using an implementation of the well known Caesar formalism within the Sherpa framework. For the 4-, 5- and 6-jet resolutions we discuss in particular the impact of subleading colour contributions and compare to matrix-element plus parton-shower predictions from Sherpa and Vincia.

The annihilation of antiphase boundary tubes and their effect on strengthening in Ni 3 Al

The temperature at which antiphase boundary (APB) tubes anneal out of lightly-strained Ni-rich Ni 3 Al thin foils has been measured via in-situ heating in a transmission electron microscope to be ~530 °C. Given this new information, the wealth of literature on the mechanical properties of Ni 3 Al across the entire temperature regime of the yield stress anomaly, ~25–800 °C, is re-evaluated to consider the impact of APB tubes. Contrary to previous theoretical predications, APB tubes do not appear to affect the strength of Ni 3 Al.

Structural Insight into a Sixteen Cyanine Dye Construct via Exciton–Exciton Annihilation

Molecular (dye) aggregates play a prominent role in light harvesting and are of interest in quantum information science; however, there are limited reports hat programmably assemble many (>4) dye aggregates featuring strong coupling and exciton delocalization. Using oligonucleotides with four Cy5s covalently linked in series along the phosphate backbone, we bring four, eight, and sixteen Cy5s in close proximity by assembling four-armed junctions. We elucidate their structure via gel electrophoresis and steady-state and transient optical spectroscopy. We find that Cy5 has a strong propensity to form tetramer clusters, where the exciton is delocalized over all four Cy5s, that the exciton is not delocalized beyond tetramer clusters in the eight and sixteen Cy5 constructs, and that the sixteen Cy5 construct may consist of pairs of tetramer clusters that are isolated from one another. Many-dye aggregates such as these may serve useful as antennae for their intense light absorption and spatially directed energy transfer.
