Rats fed a semipurified diet supplemented with 3% (w/w) safflower oil [Saf, n-3 fatty acid deficient, high linoleic (18:2n-6)] through two generations exhibit decreased correct response ratios in brightness-discrimination learning test compared rats perilla [Per, α-linolenic (18:3n-3)]. This is associated DHA (22:6n-3)-to-arachidonic (20:4n-6) ratio brain lipids. In the first set of experiments, dietary was shifted from Saf to mixture 2.4% plus 0.6% after weaning (Saf-DHA), but all...
The Josephson junction (JJ) is an essential element of superconducting (SC) devices for both fundamental and applied physics. short-range coherent coupling two adjacent JJs forms Andreev molecule states (AMSs), which provide a new ingredient to engineer exotic SC phenomena such as topological qubits. Here we tunneling spectroscopy measurements on device consisting electrically controllable planar sharing single electrode. We discover that spectra in the coupled JJ are highly modulated from...
Abstract Short-range coherent coupling of two Josephson junctions (JJs) are predicted to generate a supercurrent in one JJ nonlocally modulated by the phase difference other.

A Josephson junction (JJ) is a key device for developing superconducting circuits, wherein supercurrent in the JJ controlled by phase difference between two electrodes. When JJs sharing one electrode are coherently coupled and form Andreev molecules, of expected to be nonlocally another JJ. Here, we evaluate as function local nonlocal differences. Consequently, results exhibit that control generates finite even when zero. In addition, an offset giving ground state depends on difference....
We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of an InAs double-nanowire (NW) device consisting two closely placed parallel NWs coupled to a common superconducting electrode one side individual normal metal leads other. In this new type we detect Cooper-pair splitting (CPS) with sizeable efficiency correlated currents in both NWs. contrast earlier experiments, where CPS was realized single NW, demonstrating intrawire electron pairing mediated by superconductor (SC), our...
We demonstrated dominant Cooper pair splitting in a ballistic double nanowire Josephson junction.
We detect in real time inter-dot tunneling events a weakly coupled two electron double quantum dot GaAs. At finite magnetic fields, we observe characteristic times, T_d and T_b, belonging to, respectively, direct blocked (spin-flip-assisted) tunneling. The latter corresponds to lifting of Pauli spin blockade the times ratio eta=T_b/T_d characterizes efficiency. find pronounced changes behavior eta upon increasing field, with increasing, saturating again. explain this as due crossover...

Abstract Unconventional quasiparticles emerging in the fractional quantum Hall regime 1,2 present challenge of observing their exotic properties unambiguously. Although charge has been demonstrated for nearly three decades 3–5 , first convincing evidence anyonic statistics only recently obtained 6,7 and, so far, so-called scaling dimension that determines propagation dynamics remains elusive. In particular, although nonlinearity tunnelling quasiparticle current should reveal dimension,...
We investigated the effect of royal jelly (RJ), a natural secretion from worker bees, on endurance training-induced mitochondrial adaptations in skeletal muscles ICR mice. Mice received either RJ (1.0 mg/g body weight) or distilled water for three weeks. The mice training group were subjected to (20 m/min; 60 min; 5 times/week). There was main maximal activities enzymes, citrate synthase (CS), and β-hydroxyacyl coenzyme Adehydrogenase (β-HAD), plantaris tibialis anterior (TA) muscles, while...

The Josephson junction of a strong spin-orbit material under magnetic field is promising Majorana fermion candidate. Supercurrent enhancement by has been observed in the InAs nanowire junctions and assigned to topological transition. In this work we observe similar phenomenon but discuss nontopological origin considering trapping quasiparticles vortices that penetrate superconductor finite field. This assignment supported hysteresis switching current when sweeping up down Our experiment...
The charge transport of a (Tomonaga-)Luttinger liquid with tunnel barriers exhibits universal scaling: the current-voltage curves measured at various temperatures collapse into single curve upon rescaling. exponent characterizing this can be used to extract strength electron-electron interaction. Motivated by recent experiment on InAs nanowires [Sato et al., Phys. Rev. B 99, 155304 (2019)], we theoretically investigate analogous behavior spin-orbit-coupled Luttinger liquid. We find that...
The Josephson junction (JJ) is an essential element of superconducting (SC) devices for both fundamental and applied physics. short-range coherent coupling two adjacent JJs forms the Andreev molecule states (AMSs), which will provide a new ingredient to engineer SC transport in control qubits. However, no experimental evidence AMSs coupled has been reported. Here we tunnel spectroscopic results electrically controllable planar sharing one electrode. We discover that JJ are highly modulated...
