- Rationale: The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel-aspirin for the large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke subtype has been debated. Aims: To determine whether the 1-year risk of recurrent vascular events could be reduced by a longer duration of DAPT in patients with the LAA stroke subtype. Methods and study design: A total of 4806 participants will be recruited to detect a statistically significant relative risk reduction of 22% with 80% power and a two-sided alpha error of 0.05, including a 10% loss to follow-up. This is a registry-based, multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 12-month duration of DAPT compared with a 3-month duration of DAPT in the LAA stroke subtype. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to either DAPT for 12 months or DAPT for 3 months, followed by monotherapy (either aspirin or clopidogrel) for the remaining 9 months. Study outcomes: The primary efficacy outcome of the study is a composite of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality for 1 year after the index stroke. The secondary efficacy outcomes are (1) stroke, (2) ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, (3) hemorrhagic stroke, and (4) all-cause mortality. The primary safety outcome is major bleeding. Discussion: This study will help stroke physicians determine the appropriate duration of dual therapy with clopidogrel-aspirin for patients with the LAA stroke subtype.

Aligned CuO nanowire array for a high performance visible light photodetector
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recently, copper oxide (CuO) has drawn much attention as a promising material in visible light photodetection with its advantages in ease of nanofabrication. CuO allows a variety of nanostructures to be explored to enhance the optoelectrical performance such as photogenerated carriers scattering and bandgap engineering. However, previous researches neglect in-depth analysis of CuO's light interaction effects, restrictively using random orientation such as randomly arranged nanowires, single nanowires, and dispersed nanoparticles. Here, we demonstrate an ultra-high performance CuO visible light photodetector utilizing perfectly-aligned nanowire array structures. CuO nanowires with 300 nm-width critical dimension suppressed carrier transport in the dark state and enhanced the conversion of photons to carriers; additionally, the aligned arrangement of the nanowires with designed geometry improved the light absorption by means of the constructive interference effect. The proposed nanostructures provide advantages in terms of dark current, photocurrent, and response time, showing unprecedentedly high (state-of-the-art) optoelectronic performance, including high values of sensitivity (S = 172.21%), photo-responsivity (R = 16.03 A/W, lambda = 535 nm), photo-detectivity (D* = 7.78 x 10(11) Jones), rise/decay time (tau(r)/tau(d) = 0.31 s/1.21 s).

- We propose that the ubiquitous scale free nature of many real world networks may emerge from a steady state process where nodes are created and merged randomly. The merging may be viewed as an optimization of efficiency by minimizing redundancy.

Ion-modulated radical doping of spiro-OMeTAD for more efficient and stable perovskite solar cells
- 2022
-

- Record power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been obtained with the organic hole transporter 2,2,7,7-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenyl-amine)9,9-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD). Conventional doping of spiro-OMeTAD with hygroscopic lithium salts and volatile 4-tert-butylpyridine is a time-consuming process and also leads to poor device stability. We developed a new doping strategy for spiro-OMeTAD that avoids post-oxidation by using stable organic radicals as the dopant and ionic salts as the doping modulator (referred to as ion-modulated radical doping). We achieved PCEs of >25% and much-improved device stability under harsh conditions. The radicals provide hole polarons that instantly increase the conductivity and work function (WF), and ionic salts further modulate the WF by affecting the energetics of the hole polarons. This organic semiconductor doping strategy, which decouples conductivity and WF tunability, could inspire further optimization in other optoelectronic devices.

- Hwang in [Phys. Rev. E {\bf{80}}, 042103 (2009)] suggested that the two transitions of the six-state clock model on the square lattice are\emph{not} of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type. Here we show from simulations thatat the upper transition, the helicity modulus does make a discontinuous jumpto zero. This gives strong evidence for a Kosterlitz-Thoulesstransition.

- We study how much water can be retained without leaking through boundarieswhen each unit square of a two-dimensional lattice is randomly assigned a blockof unit bottom area but with different heights from zero to $n-1$.As more blocks are put into the system,there exists a phase transition beyond whichthe system retains a macroscopic volume of water.We locate the critical points and verify that the criticalitybelongs to the two-dimensional percolation universality class.If the height distribution can be approximated as continuous for large $n$,the system is always close to a critical point and the fraction of the areabelow the resulting water level is given by the percolation threshold.This provides a universal upper bound ofareas that can be covered by water in a random landscape.

- The value of the internal energy per spin is independent of the strip widthfor a certain class of spin systems on two dimensional infinite strips. Itis verified that the Ising model on the kagome lattice belongs to this classthrough an exact transfer-matrix calculation of the internal energy for thetwo smallest widths. More generally, one can suggest an upper bound forthe critical coupling strength $K_c(q)$ for the $q$-state Potts model fromexact calculations of the internal energy for the two smallest stripwidths. Combining this with the corresponding calculation for the duallattice and using an exact duality relation enables us to conjecture thecritical coupling strengths for the three- and four-state Pottsmodels on the kagome lattice. The values are $K_c(q=3)=1.056~509~426~929~0$and $K_c(q=4) = 1.149~360~587~229~2$,and the values can, in principle, be obtained to an arbitrary precision. Wediscuss the fact that these values are in the middle of earlierapproximate results and furthermore differ from earlier conjecturesfor the exact values.

Curvature-induced frustration in the XY model on hyperbolic surfaces

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We study low-temperature properties of the XY spin model on a negatively curved surface. Geometric curvature of the surface gives rise to frustration in local spin configuration, which results in the formation of high-energy spin clusters scattered over the system. Asymptotic behavior of the spin-glass susceptibility suggests a zero-temperature glass transition, which is attributed to multiple optimal configurations of spin clusters due to nonzero surface curvature of the system. It implies that a constant ferromagnetic spin interaction on a regular lattice can exhibit glasslike behavior without possessing any disorder if the lattice is put on top of a negatively curved space such as a hyperbolic surface.
