Tailoring Magnetic Properties of Zigzag Structured Thin Films via Interface Engineering and Columnar Nano-structuring
We report the emergence of a novel interface-induced shape anisotropy component in zigzag-structured thin films fabricated via Sequential Oblique Angle Deposition (S-OAD). In this study, we systematically investigate cobalt (Co) and Co2FeAl (CFA) thin films by varying column length, number of bilayers, and magneto-crystalline anisotropy (MCA) to explore how structural modulation affects magnetic behavior. Using magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements in conjunction with synchrotron-base…

Some recent popular books “explaining” music are actually awful. They commit the naturalistic fallacy with flair - as if the sweep of nature had quietly handed us a tidy little musical rulebook. I come away not with understanding but with a feeling of aesthetic conscription. Or constipation.

Stability of soluble surfactant-laden falling film over a hydrophobic incline in the presence of external shear
The hydrodynamic stability analysis of gravity-driven, soluble surfactant-laden fluid streaming down a slippery, slanted plane in the presence of external shear force is being explored in this article. The Navier-Stokes equations are considered for the fluid flow along with the appropriate advection-diffusion equations for the concentration of different surfactant species. The monomers considered here are anticipated to dissolve in the bulk flow and can be adsorbed at the interface of air-liqui…

Join Andrew Musselman and Trevor Grant as they present the latest developments in Mahout's new quantum compute layer, Qumat. They will provide an overview of the project, explain why Qumat was developed, and demonstrate its current capabilities. They will also present a demo of Qumat in action and conclude with calls to action for researchers and engineers who are interested in using and contributing to the project.

A stochastic model for the diffusion of competing opinions with trend-following, opposition, and indifference
We study a stochastic model for the diffusion of competing opinions in a population composed of three types of agents: trend-followers, opposers, and indifferent individuals. The decision dynamics are driven by reinforcement mechanisms, modulated by a latent trend process, allowing us to capture realistic features such as amplification, resistance, and randomness in opinion formation. We derive explicit formulas for the finite-time moments of the opinion count vector and establish a set of stro…

Diophantine approximation on abelian varieties; a conjecture of M. Waldschmidt
Following the work of Waldschmidt, we investigate problems in Diophantine approximation on abelian varieties. First we show that a conjecture of Waldschmidt for a given simple abelian variety is equivalent to a well-known Diophantine condition holding for a certain matrix related to that variety. We then posit a related but weaker conjecture, and establish the upper bound direction of that conjecture in full generality. For rank 1 elliptic curves defined over a number field $K \subset \mathbb{R…

CORONA: A Coarse-to-Fine Framework for Graph-based Recommendation with Large Language Models
Recommender systems (RSs) are designed to retrieve candidate items a user might be interested in from a large pool. A common approach is using graph neural networks (GNNs) to capture high-order interaction relationships. As large language models (LLMs) have shown strong capabilities across domains, researchers are exploring their use to enhance recommendation. However, prior work limits LLMs to re-ranking results or dataset augmentation, failing to utilize their power during candidate filtering…
