Abstract

Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a sustainable genetic control method to effectively suppress mosquito vector populations below sanitary and nuisance thresholds. The SIT requires a cost-effective production and release of radio sterilized insects of high and consistent quality and quantity. In this study, we report a new procedure to hatch, aliquot and introduce Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti larvae into larval mass rearing units using dissolvable vegetable capsules containing brushed eggs and larval diet. The results demonstrated that the egg brushing procedures, the opening of the hatching container and the presence of diet in the hatching solution increased Aedes eggs hatching success. The diet added during the hatching process decreased the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, which constituted the main stimulus for egg hatching success in both species. However, a DO reduction below 3 mg/l can effectively stimulate hatching in both species regardless of the deoxygenation method adopted. The capsule method produced similar hatching success without affecting larval survival and pupation rates in comparison with standard hatching procedures. The use of capsules eliminates intermediate laborious procedures for hatching, counting and transferring larvae into mass rearing trays with an expected improvement in production times and costs for Aedes SIT operational programs.

Abstract

The coupling between lattice vibration quanta and valence electrons can induce charge density modulations and decisively influence the transport properties of materials, e.g. leading to conventional superconductivity. In high critical temperature superconductors, where electronic correlation is the main actor, the actual role of electron-phonon coupling (EPC) is being intensely debated theoretically and investigated experimentally. We present an in-depth study of how the EPC strength can be obtained directly from resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) data through the theoretical approach derived by Ament et al. [EPL 95, 27008 (2011)]. The role of the model parameters (e.g. phonon energy $\omega_0$, intermediate state lifetime $1/\Gamma$, EPC matrix element $M$, and detuning energy $\Omega$) is thoroughly analyzed, providing general relations among them that can be used to make quantitative estimates of the dimensionless EPC $g = (M/\omega_0)^2$ without detailed microscopic modeling. We then apply these methods to very high resolution Cu $L_3$ edge RIXS spectra of three Nd$_{1+x}$Ba$_{2-x}$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ films. For the insulating antiferromagnetic parent compound the value of $M$ as a function of the in-plane momentum transfer is obtained for Cu-O bond-stretching (breathing) and bond-bending (buckling) phonon branches. For the underdoped and the nearly optimally doped samples, the effects of Coulomb screening and of charge-density-wave correlations on $M$ are assessed. In light of the anticipated further improvements of the RIXS experimental resolution, this work provides a solid framework for an exhaustive investigation of the EPC in cuprates and other quantum materials., Comment: 21 pages, 16 figures

Abstract

We demonstrate that combining standing-wave (SW) excitation with resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) can lead to depth resolution and interface sensitivity for studying orbital and magnetic excitations in correlated oxide heterostructures. SW-RIXS has been applied to multilayer heterostructures consisting of a superconductor La$_{1.85}$Sr$_{0.15}$CuO$_{4}$(LSCO) and a half-metallic ferromagnet La$_{0.67}$Sr$_{0.33}$MnO$_{3}$ (LSMO). Easily observable SW effects on the RIXS excitations were found in these LSCO/LSMO multilayers. In addition, we observe different depth distribution of the RIXS excitations. The magnetic excitations are found to arise from the LSCO/LSMO interfaces, and there is also a suggestion that one of the dd excitations comes from the interfaces. SW-RIXS measurements of correlated-oxide and other multilayer heterostructures should provide unique layer-resolved insights concerning their orbital and magnetic excitations, as well as a challenge for RIXS theory to specifically deal with interface effects., Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures, plus supplemental materials (14 pages)

Abstract

In high Tc superconductors the magnetic and electronic properties are determined by the probability that valence electrons virtually jump from site to site in the CuO2 planes, a mechanism opposed by on-site Coulomb repulsion and favored by hopping integrals. The spatial extent of the latter is related to transport properties, including superconductivity, and to the dispersion relation of spin excitations (magnons). Here, for three antiferromagnetic parent compounds (single-layer Bi2Sr0.99La1.1CuO6+delta, double-layer Nd1.2Ba1.8Cu3O6 and infinite-layer CaCuO2) differing by the number of apical atoms, we compare the magnetic spectra measured by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering over a significant portion of the reciprocal space and with unprecedented accuracy. We observe that the absence of apical oxygens increases the in-plane hopping range and, in CaCuO2, it leads to a genuine 3D exchange-bond network. These results establish a corresponding relation between the exchange interactions and the crystal structure, and provide fresh insight into the materials dependence of the superconducting transition temperature., Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, 1 Table, 42 references

Abstract

At interfaces between complex oxides it is possible to generate electronic systems with unusual electronic properties, which are not present in the isolated oxides. One important example is the appearance of superconductivity at the interface between insulating oxides, although, until now, with very low Tc. We report the occurrence of high Tc superconductivity in the bilayer CaCuO2/SrTiO3, where both the constituent oxides are insulating. In order to obtain a superconducting state, the CaCuO2/SrTiO3 interface must be realized between the Ca plane of CaCuO2 and the TiO2 plane of SrTiO3. Only in this case extra oxygen ions can be incorporated in the interface Ca plane, acting as apical oxygen for Cu and providing holes to the CuO2 planes. A detailed hole doping spatial profile has been obtained by STEM/EELS at the O K-edge, clearly showing that the (super)conductivity is confined to about 1-2 CaCuO2 unit cells close to the interface with SrTiO3. The results obtained for the CaCuO2/SrTiO3 interface can be extended to multilayered high Tc cuprates, contributing to explain the dependence of Tc on the number of CuO2 planes in these systems., Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures
