Abstract

Nano engineered spin degree of freedom in carbon system may offer desired exchange coupling with optimum spin orbit interaction which is essential, to construct solid state qubits, for fault tolerant quantum computation. The purpose of this communication is to analyze spin dynamics of, basically, four types of systems, (i) Graphene (system with inversion symmetry), (ii) Graphene like nanocarbons (GNCs, broken inversion symmetry and heterostructure, sp2 and sp3, environment), and (iii) their nitrogen doped derivatives. The spin transport data was obtained using the electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) technique, carried out over 123 to 473K temperature range. Analysis of shape, linewidths of dispersion derivatives,, and g factor anisotropy has been carried out. Spin parameters such as, spin spin relaxation time, spin lattice relaxation time, spin flip parameter,spin relaxation rate,spin, momentum relaxation rate,pseudo chemical potential, density of states, effective magnetic moment, spin concentration, defect concentration, and Pauli susceptibility, has been estimated, and examined for their temperature as well as interdependence. Details of the analysis are presented. The quantitative study underlined the following facts: (i) by and large, spin dynamics in Graphene and GNCs is significantly different, (ii) transport of spin behaves in opposite fashion, after doping nitrogen, in both the systems, (iii) reduction in the magnetization has been observed for both GNCs and Graphene, after doping nitrogen, (iv) hyperfine interactions have been observed in all classes of systems except in GNCs, (v) nitrogen doped GNCs seems to be appropriate for qubit designing.

Hydrogen isotope mixing entropy in ammonia clusters

Measured evaporation branching ratios of partially deuterated isotopologues of protonated ammonia clusters (NH$_3$)$_N$ H$^+$ ($N \geq 8$) show ratios that depend only on the clusters' deuterium mole fraction. This demonstrates randomly distributed protium and deuterium in the molecules and can be used to determine free energy differences in the product cluster. The entropy thus determined is exclusively the deuterium-protium mixing entropy. The relative dissociation energies of the four isotopologues are determined and with the support of quantum chemistry calculations, their absolute values are estimated.

What is superatom?

The term "superatom" was introduced over three decades ago to describe clusters that emulate elemental atoms. The field has long been guided by the spherical jellium model, where magic numbers arise from shell closure of delocalized electrons. This Perspective argues that delocalization, not near-sphericity, is what makes a system atom-like. It shows that superatomic shell structure persists under arbitrary point-group symmetry, that superatomicity survives as a tunable quantum state across pressurized, ionized, and chemically precompressed systems, and that the symmetry rules governing superatoms are conditional, deeper than the jellium picture admits. The future of this field lies not in finding more magic numbers, but in exploiting superatomic states as artificial quantum systems at the atomic level.

Electron scattering from polar hydrides using relativistic optical potential method

We extend the relativistic spherical complex optical-potential method with group additivity developed in our recent work [S. Arya and B. Antony, \textit{RSC Adv.} \textbf{16}, 13548--13558 (2026)] to molecules with permanent dipole moments. The short-range electronic collision is described by a central Dirac partial-wave calculation, while the missing anisotropic long-range dipole interaction is restored through a rotationally resolved first-Born contribution. The rotational thresholds, state-to-state transition-dipole strengths, and thermal populations are obtained from the HITRAN2024 spectroscopic database and thermally reweighted at the adopted rotational temperature. Both excitation and superelastic de-excitation channels are included. Electron scattering from benchmark polar hydrides ($\rm H_2O$, $\rm H_2S$, $\rm NH_3$, and $\rm PH_3$) is investigated over the incident-energy range 0.1--10,000 eV. We report vibrationally elastic, differential, integral, and momentum-transfer cross sections, together with a total cross section that also contains electronically inelastic loss from the quasifree absorption potential. The calculations reproduce the broad experimental and recommended trends over a wide energy range. The largest deviations are confined mainly to the low-energy and resonance-sensitive regions. Overall, the agreement improves substantially from the tens-of-eV region upward. The method therefore retains the low computational cost and wide energy coverage of the optical-potential approach while adding the long-range rotational physics needed for polar molecules.
