Abstract. Arctic air masses undergo intense transformations when moving southward from closed sea ice to warmer open waters in marine cold-air outbreaks (CAOs). Due the lack of measurements diabatic heating and moisture uptake rates along CAO flows, studies often depend on atmospheric reanalysis output. However, uncertainties connected those datasets remain unclear. Here, we present height-resolved airborne observations heating, uptake, cloud evolution measured a quasi-Lagrangian manner. The...

Nonlinear and quantum optical devices based on periodically-poled thin film lithium niobate (PP-TFLN) have gained considerable interest lately, due to their significantly improved performance as compared bulk counterparts. Nevertheless, parameters such conversion efficiency, minimum pump power, spectral bandwidth strongly depend the quality of domain structure in these PP-TFLN samples, e.g., homogeneity duty cycle, well overlap penetration depth domains with waveguide mode. Hence, order...

Abstract. Marine cold air outbreaks (MCAOs) strongly affect the Arctic water cycle and, thus, climate through large-scale mass transformations. The description of transformations is still challenging partly because previous observations do not resolve fine scales, particularly for initial development a MCAO, and lack information about cloud microphysical properties. Therefore, we focus on crucial within first 200 km over open two MCAO events with different strengths observed during...

Strongly charged head-to-head domain walls that are purposely engineered along the [110] crystallographic orientation into ferroelectric BaTiO3 single crystals have been proposed as intrinsically nanoscaled two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) because of their significant conductivity. Here, we quantify these 2DEG properties through dedicated Hall transport measurements in van der Pauw 4-point geometry, finding mobility to reach around 400 cm2 (V s)−1, while charge density amounts 7 × 103...

In the last decade, conductive domain walls (CDWs) in single crystals of uniaxial model ferroelectric lithium niobate (${\mathrm{Li}\mathrm{Nb}\mathrm{O}}_{3}$; LNO) have been shown to reach resistances more than 10 orders magnitude lower resistance surrounding bulk, with charge carriers being firmly confined sheets a width few nanometers. LNO is thus currently witnessing increased attention because its potential design room-temperature nanoelectronic circuits and devices based on such CDWs....

During marine cold air outbreaks (MCAOs), and dry Arctic masses are transported from the central southward across closed sea ice much warmer open oceans. They experience significant transformations including a rapid heating moistening, often leading to cloud formation. While intense wintertime MCAOs have been analyzed widely, mass during other seasons studied sparsely. We address this gap by investigating an MCAO case observed in September 2020. To study transformation processes, we combine...
