Technical Preparations for the First Carbon-Ion Therapy Facility in the United States

arXiv:2610.10824v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) provides greater biological effectiveness than conventional photon therapy because of its high linear energy transfer and its ability to induce complex DNA damage. Mayo Clinic Florida is developing the first CIRT facility in the United States, using a synchrotron-based system with dose-driven continuous scanning (DDCS). Although DDCS improves delivery efficiency by keeping the beam on during spot transitions, it...

Photoluminescence study of Vanadium in 4H- and 6H- Silicon Carbide

arXiv:2610.10781v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Point defects with optically addressable spin states are a key building block for quantum networks, but few solid-state emitters combine a spin-photon interface with emission in the low-loss telecommunications band. Vanadium (V4+) defects in silicon carbide (SiC) meet this requirement, emitting zero-phonon lines (ZPLs) throughout the telecom O-band in both the 4H- and 6H-SiC polytypes while retaining an addressable electron and nuclear spin...
