Abstract

A Phase for Fano: In spectroscopy, samples placed between a steady light source and a detector are characterized based on the relative intensities of light absorbed at different frequencies. Temporal behavior—the relaxation of a photoexcited state—can be indirectly inferred from the absorption band shapes. The advent of ultrafast laser technology has enabled increasingly sophisticated measurements directly in the time domain. Ott et al. (p. 716 ; see the Perspective by Lin and Chu ) present an analytical framework to account for asymmetric band shapes, termed Fano profiles, on the basis of a phase shift in the temporal dipole response.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
