Synergism in radiation effects in condensed matter. Fundamental and application aspects

Abstract

The impressive success achieved by condensed matter radiation physics over its 170-year development period is related to the solution of problems in three areas, the emergence of new materials, the development of new sources of radiation, and the formulation of new concepts with a wide range of applications. In the borderlands of the 20th and 21st centuries, significant changes occurred in each of these aspects (not-so-catastrophic disasters, R. Tom). A major role was played by the emergence of a new ideology - Complexity, which led to the birth of four paradigms, self-organization, dynamic chaos, self-organized criticality and nonadditivity (the first three are related to the concept of synergetics, the fourth - synergism). This article is devoted to radiation synergism, with an emphasis on combinations of radiation and other effects. It presents methods of graphical techniques to identify the specific issue of synergism effects, which is the non-additivity of the overall radiation effect. A parameter expression is proposed to account for the non-additivity of the radiation effect in the experiment, which can be compared to the q parameter introduced by Tsallis in the general science of Complexity, opening up new possibilities in condensed matter radiation physics for both living and non-living objects.

Matching Rules for a Three-Dimensional Strongly Aperiodic Monotile

A recent pre-print [arXiv:2609.19214] proposed a three-dimensional (3D) strongly aperiodic monotile: a shape that tiles Euclidean space only aperiodically and which admits no symmetry of infinite order. The proof takes the 3D Chair tile identified previously by Lee and Moody, and adds geometric decorations to the faces so as to force aperiodicity (without these decorations The Chair also admits periodic tilings). Here we establish general requirements on face decorations to achieve the same end, in order to facilitate the search for physical realisations. We find that the requirements are minimal. We provide matching rules using three colours of arrow. They are not equivalent to the original rules, but force the same tiling by forcing Chairs to compose into `Superchairs' with doubled linear dimensions. In this process the matching rules themselves compose uniquely, which is the core of the earlier proof. Relaxing this constraint further we find that the same structure can be forced using only a matching rule based on the colours of squares, regardless of orientation. Any physical system encoding these rules (geometrically or otherwise) will force the strongly aperiodic monotiling. We provide simple examples.

THz Spectroscopy of Urine Vapors from Patients with Prostate Cancer and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Pilot Analysis

Approximately 13% of men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (PC) during their lifetime. Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used for screening and risk assessment; however, PSA elevations are not cancer-specific and may also occur in benign conditions such as prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Additional non-invasive approaches capable of provid- ing complementary molecular information are therefore needed. Here, we present an exploratory pilot study using high-resolution terahertz (THz) spectroscopy to examine urine-derived volatile and thermal-decomposition products. Analysis of urine samples from 24 patients with PC and 14 patients with BPH identified differences in the reported molecular-assignment patterns and candi- date spectral features for further evaluation. The study was designed for candidate identification and feasibility assessment and did not evaluate diagnostic accuracy or superiority to PSA. These findings support further investigation of THz spectroscopy as a potential source of complementary molecular information alongside PSA and other established clinical assessments. The study also outlines the technical standardization and clinical-validation requirements that must be addressed before this approach can be considered for routine clinical use.

Spin-Axis Dynamic Locking

The all-electrical realization of highly spin-polarized currents and their efficient conversion into pure spin currents remains a fundamental challenge in spintronics. Here, we report a spin-axis dynamic locking (SADL) effect in altermagnets that pins the high and dynamically robust spin polarization to the crystalline axes: an in-plane electric field along one principal axis drives a highly spin-up-polarized current, whereas along the orthogonal axis, it generates a symmetry-enforced, equal-magnitude spin-down current. Consequently, applying an electric field diagonally yields a transverse pure spin current, reaching 100% charge-to-spin conversion in the ideal limit. Mechanistically, SADL originates from a spin-split tent-state band structure whose Lifshitz transitions delimit an open-Fermi-line regime. The momentum-separated Fermi lines carry orthogonal nonzero winding vectors, producing a pronounced velocity contrast while suppressing ordinary backscattering to dynamically stabilize the axial spin selectivity. High-throughput first-principles screening confirms SADL in broad materials. Notably, monolayer Cr2WSe4 and synthesized bulk (BaF)2Mn2Se2O exhibit efficiencies close to the ideal limit, paving the way for ultra-low-power, reconfigurable spintronic devices where the spin states are governed solely by electric field orientation.
