“…In the absence of lab-based research, there has been an increase in anecdotes in popular media advocating cannabis use in conjunction with exercise coming from recreational, current, and retired professional athletes (Armstrong 2018 ; Borchardt 2016 ; Brand 2019 ; deBara 2019 ; Lev 2020 ; NORML 2015 ; The Athletics Issue 2018 ; Nguyen 2019 ). Because the plural of anecdote is not data, it is clear that there is a growing need to better understand the relationship between cannabis use and physical activity participation (Nguyen 2019 ; Docter et al 2020 ; Kramer et al 2020 ).…”

Background With increased legalization of cannabis, users are combining cannabis with exercise. The purpose of this study is to understand how and why people use cannabis when participating in physical activity. Methods A convenience sample of cannabis users participated in an anonymous online survey created by the authors regarding exercise habits while under the influence of cannabis, perceived benefits, unanticipated experiences related to cannabis and exercise, and demographics. Results One hundred thirty-one respondents (18–55 years) were eligible and began the survey. Nearly 60 physical activities under the influence of cannabis were reported. The most frequently reported modes of exercise included hiking (60%), yoga (58%), and aerobic machines (50%). The primary reasons for using cannabis before exercise were “helping to focus/concentrate” (66%), “helping enjoy the exercise experience” (65%), and “enhancing mind-body-spirit connection” (65%). Thirty-three participants reported “yes” or “maybe” regarding having an experience they “didn’t anticipate or desire while exercising under the influence of cannabis.” Discussion Participants’ reasons for exercising with cannabis span the physiological, psychological, neuromotor, and even spiritual domains. However, some reported an undesired experience when pairing cannabis with exercise. While this was an online survey with a small sample size, our results agree with and contribute to the growing research investigating cannabis use and physical activity participation. Conclusion We found considerable heterogeneity in types of physical activity participation under the influence of cannabis, as well as perceived benefits of use. This study provides directions to further explore the risks and benefits of combining cannabis with physical activity.

“…In our experiments, the UHV conditions stabilizes the CRIs, but alternatively an inert capping layer such as hBN could be employed to protect the carbon dangling bond. It is also worth noting that isotopically-pure CRIs can be easily prepared by using commercially available 12 C or 13 C clean variants of methane in the plasma-treatment. The 13 C nuclear spin offers the possibility of a local qubit memory via the hyperfine interaction.…”

“…The surface bound nature of prospective atomic qubits in TMDs immensely simplifies the coupling to external quantum circuits and offers new concepts for hetero-material integration [11]. Most importantly, 2D TMDs enable charge state control [12], spectral tuning by electrostatic gates [13], and high-fidelity electrical pumping schemes [14,15]. Furthermore, the dimensionality suppression of spin decoherence and the low abundance of non-zero nuclear spin isotopes in many TMDs is beneficial to increase the electron spin coherence time, superior in particular to boron nitride [16,17].…”

We demonstrate the creation of a spin-1/2 state via the atomically controlled generation of magnetic carbon radical ions (CRIs) in synthetic two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Hydrogenated carbon impurities located at chalcogen sites introduced by chemical doping can be activated with atomic precision by hydrogen depassivation using a scanning probe tip. In its anionic state, the carbon impurity exhibits a magnetic moment of 1 µ B resulting from an unpaired electron populating a spin-polarized in-gap orbital of C •− S . Fermi level control by the underlying graphene substrate can charge and decharge the defect, thereby activating or quenching the defect magnetic moment. By inelastic tunneling spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations we show that the CRI defect states couple to a small number of vibrational modes, including a local, breathing-type mode. Interestingly, the electron-phonon coupling strength critically depends on the spin state and differs for monolayer and bilayer WS 2 . These carbon radical ions in TMDs comprise a new class of surface-bound, single-atom spin-qubits that can be selectively introduced, are spatially precise, feature a well-understood vibronic spectrum, and are charge state controlled.

“…From this perspective, it is invaluable to be able to measure the spin polarization not just on model samples but rather on device-like architectures, and even in operando conditions. ARPES experiments in presence of a gating voltage have been long awaited for, but due to technical challenges only recently such capability has been demonstrated on topological insulators, graphene or transition metal dichalcogenides [95][96][97]. Similarly, the first SARPES applications are starting to appear, such as in a device capable of switching the Rashba spin texture in the ferroelectric semiconductor α-GeTe [98] (fig.…”

Spin-orbit (SO) coupling combined with space inversion symmetry breaking is at the origin of the lifting of the spin degeneracy in the band structure of many materials. The momentum-dependent energy splitting and the degree of spin polarization are indicative of the strength and symmetry of the SO interaction, and enter in the figure of merit of essentially all conceptual designs aiming to control the electron spin degree of freedom in solids. Here we briefly review the role played by spin-and-angle-resolved photoemission (spin ARPES or SARPES) in revealing the spin polarization specifically in the topological states of 3-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs), and we discuss how the progress in the technique can assist the rise of several active fields like spintronics, spin-orbitronics or the generation of spin-polarized beams.
