PANDORA (Plasmas for Astrophysics Nuclear Decays Observation and Radiation for Archaeometry) is an INFN project aiming at measuring, for the first time, possible variations in in-plasma β-decay lifetimes in isotopes of astrophysical interest as...

In this work, we have studied the microstructure and unusual ferromagnetic behavior in epitaxial tin dioxide (SnO2) films implanted with 40 keV Co+ ions to a high fluence of 1.0 × 1017 ions/cm2 at room or elevated substrate temperatures. The ai...

In this work, we present an innovative calibration technique leveraging differentiable programming to enhance energy resolution and reduce the energy scale systematic uncertainty in X-ray spectroscopic experiments. This approach is demonstrated using...

The description of the electron–electron interactions in two-dimensional materials has a dimensional mismatch, where electrons live in (2 + 1)D while photons propagate in (3 + 1)D. In order to define an action in (2 + 1)D, one may perform a dim...

My ‘In Memoriam’ contribution is very personal, as it includes many human and professional insights that I received from Alex Müller himself [...]

In this work, we report on tests performed with an experimental apparatus prototype based on a broad-energy germanium detector aimed at investigating topical, foundational issues in quantum mechanics: i.e., possible violations of the spin-statistics...

We review the main features of type-III superconductivity. This is a new type of superconductivity that exists in both 2 and 3 spatial dimensions. The main characteristics are emergent granularity and the superconducting gap being opened by a topolog...
