Disentangling the multiorbital contributions of excitons by photoemission exciton tomography.

Excitons are realizations of a correlated many-particle wave function, specifically consisting of electrons and holes in an entangled state. Excitons occur widely in semiconductors and are dominant excitations in semiconducting organic and low-dimensional quantum materials. To efficiently harness the strong optical response and high tuneability of excitons in optoelectronics and in energy-transformation processes, access to the full wavefunction of the entangled state is critical, but has so far not been feasible. Here, we show how time-resolved photoemission momentum microscopy can be used to gain access to the entangled wavefunction and to unravel the exciton's multiorbital electron and hole contributions. For the prototypical organic semiconductor buckminsterfullerene (C60), we exemplify the capabilities of exciton tomography and achieve unprecedented access to key properties of the entangled exciton state including localization, charge-transfer character, and ultrafast exciton formation and relaxation dynamics.

Probing electron-hole Coulomb correlations in the exciton landscape of a twisted semiconductor heterostructure.

In two-dimensional semiconductors, cooperative and correlated interactions determine the material's excitonic properties and can even lead to the creation of correlated states of matter. Here, we study the fundamental two-particle correlated exciton state formed by the Coulomb interaction between single-particle holes and electrons. We find that the ultrafast transfer of an exciton's hole across a type II band-aligned semiconductor heterostructure leads to an unexpected sub-200-femtosecond upshift of the single-particle energy of the electron being photoemitted from the two-particle exciton state. While energy relaxation usually leads to an energetic downshift of the spectroscopic signature, we show that this upshift is a clear fingerprint of the correlated interaction of the electron and hole parts of the exciton. In this way, time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is straightforwardly established as a powerful method to access electron-hole correlations and cooperative behavior in quantum materials. Our work highlights this capability and motivates the future study of optically inaccessible correlated excitonic and electronic states of matter.

[Prehospital postcardiac-arrest-sedation and -care in the Federal Republic of Germany-a web-based survey of emergency physicians]. / Präklinische Post-Cardiac-Arrest-Sedierung und -Behandlung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ­ eine webbasierte Umfrage unter notärztlichem Personal.

BACKGROUND: This study evaluates the implementation of postcardiac-arrest-sedation (PCAS) and -care (PRC) by prehospital emergency physicians in Germany. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Analysis of a web-based survey from October to November 2022. Questions were asked about implementation, medications used, complications, motivation for implementing or not implementing PCAS, and measures and target parameters of PRC. RESULTS: A total of 500 emergency physicians participated in the survey. In all, 73.4% stated that they regularly performed PCAS (hypnotics: 84.7%; analgesics: 71.1%; relaxants: 29.7%). Indications were pressing against the respirator (88.3%), analgesia (74.1%), synchronization to respirator (59.5%), and change of airway device (52.6%). Reasons for not performing PCAS (26.6%) included unconscious patients (73.7%); concern about hypotension (31.6%), re-arrest (26.3%), and worsening neurological assessment (22.5%). Complications of PCAS were observed by 19.3% of participants (acute hypotension [74.6%]); (re-arrest [32.4%]). In addition to baseline monitoring, PRC included 12-lead-electrocardiogram (96.6%); capnography (91.6%); catecholamine therapy (77.6%); focused echocardiography (20.6%), lung ultrasound (12.0%) and abdominal ultrasound (5.6%); induction of hypothermia (13.6%) and blood gas analysis (7.4%). An etCO2 of 35-45 mm Hg was targeted by 40.6%, while 9.0% of participants targeted an SpO2 of 94-98% and 19.2% of participants targeted a systolic blood pressure of ≥ 100 mm Hg. CONCLUSIONS: Prehospital PRC in Germany is heterogeneous and deviations from its target parameters are frequent. PCAS is frequent and associated with relevant complications. The development of preclinical care algorithms for PCAS and PRC within preclinical care seems urgently needed.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Arterial Spin-Labeling, Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced, and DSC Perfusion Imaging in the Diagnosis of Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas: A Prospective Study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: For patients with high-grade gliomas, the appearance of a new, enhancing lesion after surgery and chemoradiation represents a diagnostic dilemma. We hypothesized that MR perfusion without and with contrast can differentiate tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective study, we performed 3 MR perfusion methods: arterial spin-labeling, DSC, and dynamic contrast enhancement. For each lesion, we measured CBF from arterial spin-labeling, uncorrected relative CBV, and leakage-corrected relative CBV from DSC imaging. The volume transfer constant and plasma volume were obtained from dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging without and with T1 mapping using modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI). The diagnosis of tumor recurrence or radiation necrosis was determined by either histopathology for patients who underwent re-resection or radiologic follow-up for patients who did not have re-resection. RESULTS: There were 26 patients with 32 lesions, 19 lesions with tumor recurrence and 13 lesions with radiation necrosis. Compared with radiation necrosis, lesions with tumor recurrence had higher CBF (P = .033), leakage-corrected relative CBV (P = .048), and plasma volume using MOLLI T1 mapping (P = .012). For differentiating tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis, the areas under the curve were 0.81 for CBF, 0.80 for plasma volume using MOLLI T1 mapping, and 0.71 for leakage-corrected relative CBV. A correlation was found between CBF and leakage-corrected relative CBV (r s = 0.54), volume transfer constant, and plasma volume (0.50 < r s< 0.77) but not with uncorrected relative CBV (r s = 0.20, P = .29). CONCLUSIONS: In the differentiation of tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis in a newly enhancing lesion, the diagnostic value of arterial spin-labeling-derived CBF is similar to that of DSC and dynamic contrast-enhancement-derived blood volume.

Formation of moiré interlayer excitons in space and time.

Moiré superlattices in atomically thin van der Waals heterostructures hold great promise for extended control of electronic and valleytronic lifetimes1-7, the confinement of excitons in artificial moiré lattices8-13 and the formation of exotic quantum phases14-18. Such moiré-induced emergent phenomena are particularly strong for interlayer excitons, where the hole and the electron are localized in different layers of the heterostructure19,20. To exploit the full potential of correlated moiré and exciton physics, a thorough understanding of the ultrafast interlayer exciton formation process and the real-space wavefunction confinement is indispensable. Here we show that femtosecond photoemission momentum microscopy provides quantitative access to these key properties of the moiré interlayer excitons. First, we elucidate that interlayer excitons are dominantly formed through femtosecond exciton-phonon scattering and subsequent charge transfer at the interlayer-hybridized Σ valleys. Second, we show that interlayer excitons exhibit a momentum fingerprint that is a direct hallmark of the superlattice moiré modification. Third, we reconstruct the wavefunction distribution of the electronic part of the exciton and compare the size with the real-space moiré superlattice. Our work provides direct access to interlayer exciton formation dynamics in space and time and reveals opportunities to study correlated moiré and exciton physics for the future realization of exotic quantum phases of matter.

Far-from-Equilibrium Electron-Phonon Interactions in Optically Excited Graphene.

Comprehending far-from-equilibrium many-body interactions is one of the major goals of current ultrafast condensed matter physics research. Here, a particularly interesting but barely understood situation occurs during a strong optical excitation, where the electron and phonon systems can be significantly perturbed and the quasiparticle distributions cannot be described with equilibrium functions. In this work, we use time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy to study such far-from-equilibrium many-body interactions for the prototypical material graphene. In accordance with theoretical simulations, we find remarkable transient renormalizations of the quasiparticle self-energy caused by the photoinduced nonequilibrium conditions. These observations can be understood by ultrafast scatterings between nonequilibrium electrons and strongly coupled optical phonons, which signify the crucial role of ultrafast nonequilibrium dynamics on many-body interactions. Our results advance the understanding of many-body physics in extreme conditions, which is important for any endeavor to optically manipulate or create non-equilibrium states of matter.

Nuclear Charge Radii of the Nickel Isotopes

Collinear laser spectroscopy is performed on the nickel isotopes ^{58-68,70}Ni, using a time-resolved photon counting system. From the measured isotope shifts, nuclear charge radii R_{c} are extracted and compared to theoretical results. Three ab initio approaches all employ, among others, the chiral interaction NNLO_{sat}, which allows an assessment of their accuracy. We find agreement with experiment in differential radii δ⟨r_{c}^{2}⟩ for all employed ab initio methods and interactions, while the absolute radii are consistent with data only for NNLO_{sat}. Within nuclear density functional theory, the Skyrme functional SV-min matches experiment more closely than the Fayans functional Fy(Δr,HFB).

[In-hospital emergency care in the Federal Republic of Germany. A site survey of hospitals in the German Resuscitation Registry]. / Innerklinische Notfallversorgung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Eine Standortbefragung der Kliniken des Deutschen Reanimationsregisters.

BACKGROUND: In contrast to prehospital care there is a lack of specifications for the organization and equipment of medical emergency teams for in-hospital emergency care. OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the organization, team composition, training, equipment and tasks of medical emergency teams in the Federal Republic of Germany. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Evaluation of a web-based survey of all hospitals participating in the German Resuscitation Register between February and March2020. The participants were asked about team composition; emergency equipment; type, content and scope of special training or further training as well as other additional tasks in the everyday clinical routine when participating in the medical emergency team. Hospitals with ≤ or >600 beds were compared. RESULTS: A total of 21 (>600 beds: 10, 48%; ≤600 beds: 11, 52%) hospitals participated in the survey. Team composition requirements were present at 76% (n = 16; ≤600 beds: 8, 72% vs. >600 beds: 8, 80%), training requirements for medical emergency teams at 38% (n = 16; ≤600 beds: 4, 36% vs. >600 beds: 4, 40%) of hospitals, with a focus on cardiac life support (n = 6, 28%; ≤600 beds: 3, 27% vs. >600 beds: 3, 30%) and airway management (n = 4, 19%; ≤600 beds: 3, 27% vs. >600 beds: 1, 10%). A 12-lead electrocardiogram (n = 7, 33%; ≤600 beds: 1, 9% vs. >600 beds: 6, 60%; p = 0.02), video laryngoscope (n = 7, 33%; ≤600 beds: 2, 18% vs. >600 beds: 5, 50%), ventilator without (n = 7, 33%; ≤600 beds: 2, 18% vs. >600 beds: 5, 50%) or with the possibility of non-invasive ventilation was part of the standard equipment in n = 4, 19% (≤600 beds: 1, 9% vs. >600 beds: 3, 30%). A total of 85% (n = 18; ≤600 beds: 10, 100% vs. >600 beds 8, 72%), had additional tasks in the daily clinical routine. While clinics with >600 beds staffed medical emergency teams 100% of the time from the intensive care units, in clinics ≤600 beds medical emergency teams were deployed significantly more often in the emergency department (n = 5, 45%) and in the normal wards (n = 5, 45%, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: Training and equipment of medical emergency teams in the Federal Republic of Germany is heterogeneous. They should at least meet the standards commonly used in prehospital emergency medicine and include the availability of a portable 12-lead electrocardiogram, a ventilator with the possibility of noninvasive ventilation and a video laryngoscope. Regardless of the size of the hospital, continuous availability of all members of the medical emergency teams should be ensured.

Ultrafast element-resolved magneto-optics using a fiber-laser-driven extreme ultraviolet light source.

We present a novel setup to measure the transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range based on a fiber laser amplifier system with a repetition rate between 100 and 300 kHz, which we use to measure element-resolved demagnetization dynamics. The setup is equipped with a strong electromagnet and a cryostat, allowing measurements between 10 and 420 K using magnetic fields up to 0.86 T. The performance of our setup is demonstrated by a set of temperature- and time-dependent magnetization measurements with elemental resolution.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: population-wide incidences, comorbidities, costs of care, and outcomes.

Neurological disorders associated with chronic infections are often progressive as well as challenging to diagnose and manage. Among 4.4 million persons from 2004 to 2019 receiving universal health, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML, n = 58) and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD, n = 93) cases were identified, revealing stable yearly incidence rates with divergent comorbidities: HIV/AIDS affected 37.8% of PML cases while cerebrovascular disease affected 26.9% of CJD cases. Most CJD cases died within 1 year (73%) although PML cases lived beyond 5 years (34.1%) despite higher initial costs of care. PML and CJD represent important neurological disorders with evolving risk variables and impact on health care.

Coupled-Cluster Calculations of Neutrinoless Double-ß Decay in

We use coupled-cluster theory and nuclear interactions from chiral effective field theory to compute the nuclear matrix element for the neutrinoless double-ß decay of ^{48}Ca. Benchmarks with the no-core shell model in several light nuclei inform us about the accuracy of our approach. For ^{48}Ca we find a relatively small matrix element. We also compute the nuclear matrix element for the two-neutrino double-ß decay of ^{48}Ca with a quenching factor deduced from two-body currents in recent ab initio calculation of the Ikeda sum rule in ^{48}Ca [Gysbers et al., Nat. Phys. 15, 428 (2019)NPAHAX1745-247310.1038/s41567-019-0450-7].

[Hospital paramedic. An interprofessional blended learning concept to qualify paramedics and medical personnel for deployment in intensive care units and emergency departments during the COVID-19 pandemic]. / Kliniksanitäter. Ein interprofessionelles Blended-Learning-Konzept zur Weiterqualifikation von Rettungsdienst- und medizinischem Personal zum Einsatz auf Intensivstationen und in Notaufnahmen während der COVID-19-Pandemie.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a time-critical expansion of medical staff in intensive care units (ICU) and emergency rooms (ER). OBJECTIVE: This article describes the development, performance and first results of an interprofessional blended learning concept called hospital paramedics, qualifying paramedics and additional medical personnel to support ICUs and ERs. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The Protestant Hospital of the Bethel Foundation (EvKB), University Hospital OWL, University of Bielefeld in cooperation with the Study Institute Westfalen-Lippe, developed a 2-stage blended learning concept (stage 1 e­learning with online tutorials, stage 2 practical deployment) comprising 3 modules: ICU, ER and in-hospital emergency medicine. At the beginning, the participants were asked about their sociodemographic data (age, gender, type of medical qualifications) and subjective feeling of confidence. At the end, a final discussion with the participant, the practice instructor and the supervising physician took place and an evaluation of the deployment by the head of the practice and the hospital paramedic was carried out using questionnaires. RESULTS: Within 6 weeks 58 (63%) of the 92 participants completed the online course and 17 (29%) additionally completed their traineeship. In the ICU they assisted with preparing catheter systems, medication and nursing, performed Manchester triage and initial care in the ER. After completion hospital paramedics were significantly more confident when working in a hospital, catheterization and tracheostoma care (p < 0.05). Of the supervisors 94% deemed the deployment as useful and 100% of the participants were prepared to be available at short notice in their areas as compensation for the COVID-19-pandemic in the event of a staff shortage. Through the provision of additional intensive care ventilators and monitoring units in the period from March to the beginning of May 2020 and the personnel management that was carried out, the EvKB was in a position to increase the number of previously provided ventilator beds by potentially >40 ventilation places. CONCLUSION: Blended learning concepts, such as hospital paramedics, can quickly qualify medical personnel for use in system-relevant settings, relieve nursing staff and thus create an expansion of intensive care capacities. Existing or pending pandemic and contingency plans should be complemented by such blended learning training so that they are immediately available in case of a second pandemic wave, future pandemics or other crisis situations.

Time-resolved momentum microscopy with a 1 MHz high-harmonic extreme ultraviolet beamline.

Recent progress in laser-based high-repetition rate extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources and multidimensional photoelectron spectroscopy enables the build-up of a new generation of time-resolved photoemission experiments. Here, we present a setup for time-resolved momentum microscopy driven by a 1 MHz fs EUV table-top light source optimized for the generation of 26.5 eV photons. The setup provides simultaneous access to the temporal evolution of the photoelectron's kinetic energy and in-plane momentum. We discuss opportunities and limitations of our new experiment based on a series of static and time-resolved measurements on graphene.

Phase retrieval algorithms for lensless imaging using diffractive shearing interferometry.

Diffractive shearing interferometry (DSI) is a method that has recently been developed to perform lensless imaging using extreme ultraviolet radiation generated by high-harmonic generation. In this paper, we investigate the uniqueness of the DSI solution and the requirements for the support constraint size. We find that there can be multiple solutions to the DSI problem that consist of displaced copies of the actual object. These alternative solutions can be eliminated by enforcing a sufficiently tight support constraint, or by introducing additional synthetic constraints. We furthermore propose a new DSI algorithm inspired by the analogy with coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) algorithms: the original DSI algorithm is in a way analogous to the hybrid input-output algorithm as used in CDI, and we propose a new algorithm that is more analogous to the error reduction algorithm as used in CDI. We find that the newly proposed algorithm is suitable for final refinement of the reconstruction.

Two-Neutron Halo is Unveiled in

We report the measurement of reaction cross sections (σ_{R}^{ex}) of ^{27,29}F with a carbon target at RIKEN. The unexpectedly large σ_{R}^{ex} and derived matter radius identify ^{29}F as the heaviest two-neutron Borromean halo to date. The halo is attributed to neutrons occupying the 2p_{3/2} orbital, thereby vanishing the shell closure associated with the neutron number N=20. The results are explained by state-of-the-art shell model calculations. Coupled-cluster computations based on effective field theories of the strong nuclear force describe the matter radius of ^{27}F but are challenged for ^{29}F.

Patient-derived oral mucosa organoids as an in vitro model for methotrexate induced toxicity in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

We have recently established a protocol to grow wildtype human oral mucosa organoids. These three-dimensional structures can be maintained in culture long-term, do not require immortalization, and recapitulate the multilayered composition of the epithelial lining of the oral mucosa. Here, we validate the use of this model to study the effect of Leucovorin (LV) on Methotrexate (MTX)-induced toxicity. MTX is a chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Although effective, the use of MTX often results in severe side-effects, including oral mucositis, which is characterized by epithelial cell death. Here, we show that organoids are sensitive to MTX, and that the addition of LV reduces MTX toxicity, in both a concentration- and timing-dependent manner. Additionally, we show that a 24 hour 'pretreatment' with LV reduces MTX-induced cell death, suggesting that such a pretreatment could decrease mucositis in patients. Taken together, we provide the first in vitro model to study the effect of MTX on wildtype oral mucosa cells. Our findings underscore the relevance of the clinically applied LV regimen and highlight the potential of this model to further optimize modifications in dosing and timing of Leucovorin on oral mucosa cells.
