Planar Hall Effect in the Charge-Density-Wave Bi_(2)Rh_(3)Se_(2)

We systematically investigate in-plane transport properties of ternary chalcogenideBi_(2)Rh_(3)Se_(2).Upon rotating the magnetic field within the plane of the sample, one can distinctly detect the presence of both planar Hall resistance and anisotropic longitudinal resistance, and the phenomena appeared are precisely described by the theoretical formulation of the planar Hall effect (PHE). In addition, anisotropic orbital magnetoresistance rather than topologically nontrivial chiral anomalies dominates the PHE in Bi_(2)Rh_(3)Se_(2). The finding not only provides another platform for understanding the mechanism of PHE, but could also be beneficial for future planar Hall sensors based on two-dimensional materials.

High-performance GaSb planar PN junction detector

This paper examines GaSb short-wavelength infrared detectors employing planar PN junctions. The fabrication was based on the Zn diffusion process and the diffusion temperature was optimized. Characterization revealed a 50% cut-off wavelength of 1.73 μm, a maximum detectivity of 8.73 × 10^(10) cm·Hz^(1/2)/W, and a minimum dark current density of 1.02 × 10^(-5) A/cm^(2).Additionally, a maximum quantum efficiency of 60.3% was achieved. Subsequent optimization of fabrication enabled the realization of a 320 × 256 focal plane array that exhibited satisfactory imaging results. Remarkably, the GaSb planar detectors demonstrated potential in low-cost short wavelength infrared imaging, without requiring material epitaxy or deposition.

Compact magneto-optical traps using planar optics

Magneto-optical traps (MOTs) composed of magnetic fields and light fields have been widely utilized to cool andconfine microscopic particles. Practical technology applications require miniaturized MOTs. The advancement of planaroptics has promoted the development of compact MOTs. In this article, we review the development of compact MOTs basedon planar optics. First, we introduce the standardMOTs. We then introduce the gratingMOTs with micron structures, whichhave been used to build cold atomic clocks, cold atomic interferometers, and ultra-cold sources. Further, we introducethe integrated MOTs based on nano-scale metasurfaces. These new compact MOTs greatly reduce volume and powerconsumption, and provide new opportunities for fundamental research and practical applications.

Asymptotic analysis on bright solitons and breather solutions of a generalized higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation in an optical fiber or a planar waveguide

We study a generalized higher-order nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation in an optical fiber or a planar waveguide.We obtain the Lax pair and N-fold Darboux transformation(DT)with N being a positive integer.Based on Lax pair obtained by us,we derive the infinitely-many conservation laws.We give the bright one-,two-,and N-soliton solutions,and the first-,second-,and Nth-order breather solutions based on the N-fold DT.We conclude that the velocities of the bright solitons are influenced by the distributed gain function,g(z),and variable coefficients in equation,h1(z),p1(z),r1(z),and s1(z)via the asymptotic analysis,where z represents the propagation variable or spatial coordinate.We also graphically observe that:the velocities of the first-and second-order breathers will be affected by h1(z),p1(z),r1(z),and s1(z),and the background wave depends on g(z).

Angular and planar transport properties of antiferromagnetic V_(5)S_(8)

Systemically angular and planar transport investigations are performed in layered antiferromagnetic(AF)V_(5)S_(8).In this AF system,obvious anomalous Hall effect(AHE)is observed with a large Hall angle of 0.1 compared to that in ferromagnetic(FM)system.It can persist to the temperatures above AF transition and exhibit strong angular field dependence.The phase diagram reveals various magnetic states by rotating the applied field.By analyzing the anisotropic transport behavior,magnon contributions are revealed and exhibit obvious angular dependence with a spin-flop vanishing line.The observed prominent planar Hall effect and anisotropic magnetoresisitivity exhibit two-fold systematical angular dependent oscillations.These behaviors are attributed to the scattering from spin–orbital coupling instead of nontrivial topological origin.Our results reveal anisotropic interactions of magnetism and electron in V5S8,suggesting potential opportunities for the AF spintronic sensor and devices.

An approach for determination of lateral limit angle in kinematic planar sliding analysis for rock slopes

Planar sliding is one of the frequently observed types of failure in rock slopes.Kinematic analysis is a classic and widely used method to examine the potential failure modes in rock masses.The accuracy of planar sliding kinematic analysis is significantly influenced by the value assigned to the lateral limit angleγlim.However,the assignment ofγlim is currently used generally based on an empirical criterion.This study aims to propose an approach for determining the value ofγlim in deterministic and probabilistic kinematic planar sliding analysis.A new perspective is presented to reveal thatγlim essentially influences the probability of forming a potential planar sliding block.The procedure to calculate this probability is introduced using the block theory method.It is found that the probability is correlated with the number of discontinuity sets presented in rock masses.Thus,different values ofγlim for rock masses with different sets of discontinuities are recommended in both probabilistic and deterministic planar sliding kinematic analyses;whereas a fixed value ofγlim is commonly assigned to different types of rock masses in traditional method.Finally,an engineering case was used to compare the proposed and traditional kinematic analysis methods.The error rates of the traditional method vary from 45%to 119%,while that of the proposed method ranges between 1%and 17%.Therefore,it is likely that the proposed method is superior to the traditional one.

Nonlinear dynamic modeling of planar moving Timoshenko beam considering non-rigid non-elastic axial effects

Due to the importance of vibration effects on the functional accuracy of mechanical systems,this research aims to develop a precise model of a nonlinearly vibrating single-link mobile flexible manipulator.The manipulator consists of an elastic arm,a rotary motor,and a rigid carrier,and undergoes general in-plane rigid body motion along with elastic transverse deformation.To accurately model the elastic behavior,Timoshenko’s beam theory is used to describe the flexible arm,which accounts for rotary inertia and shear deformation effects.By applying Newton’s second law,the nonlinear governing equations of motion for the manipulator are derived as a coupled system of ordinary differential equations(ODEs)and partial differential equations(PDEs).Then,the assumed mode method(AMM)is used to solve this nonlinear system of governing equations with appropriate shape functions.The assumed modes can be obtained after solving the characteristic equation of a Timoshenko beam with clamped boundary conditions at one end and an attached mass/inertia at the other.In addition,the effect of the transverse vibration of the inextensible arm on its axial behavior is investigated.Despite the axial rigidity,the effect makes the rigid body dynamics invalid for the axial behavior of the arm.Finally,numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the developed model,and the results are compared with those obtained by the finite element approach.The comparison confirms the validity of the proposed dynamic model for the system.According to the mentioned features,this model can be reliable for investigating the system’s vibrational behavior and implementing vibration control algorithms.

On the (Δ + 2)-Total-Colorability of Planar Graphs with 7-Cycles Containing at Most Two Chords

The Total Coloring Conjecture (TCC) proposes that every simple graph G is (Δ + 2)-totally-colorable, where Δ is the maximum degree of G. For planar graph, TCC is open only in case Δ = 6. In this paper, we prove that TCC holds for planar graph with Δ = 6 and every 7-cycle contains at most two chords.

Pythagorean Neutrosophic Planar Graphs with an Application in Decision-Making

Graph theory has a significant impact and is crucial in the structure of many real-life situations.To simulate uncertainty and ambiguity,many extensions of graph theoretical notions were created.Planar graphs play a vital role in modelling which has the property of non-crossing edges.Although crossing edges benefit,they have some drawbacks,which paved the way for the introduction of planar graphs.The overall purpose of the study is to contribute to the conceptual development of the Pythagorean Neutrosophic graph.The basic methodology of our research is the incorporation of the analogous concepts of planar graphs in the Pythagorean Neutrosophic graphs.The significant finding of our research is the introduction of Pythagorean Neutrosophic Planar graphs,a conceptual blending of Pythagorean Neutro-sophic and Planar graphs.The idea of Pythagorean Neutrosophic multigraphs and dual graphs are also introduced to deal with the ambiguous situations.This paper investigates the Pythagorean Neutrosophic planar values,which form the edges of the Pythagorean neutrosophic graphs.The concept of Pythagorean Neutrosophic dual graphs,isomorphism,co-weak and weak isomorphism have also been explored for Pythagorean Neutrosophic planar graphs.A decision-making algorithm was proposed with a numerical illustra-tion by using the Pythagorean Neutrosophic fuzzy graph.

Enhancing the stability of planar perovskite solar cells by green and inexpensive cellulose acetate butyrate

Although the efficiency of organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskite solar cells has been improved rapidly, the intrinsic instability of perovskite materials restricts their commercial application. Here, an eco-friendly and low-cost organic polymer, cellulose acetate butyrate(CAB), was introduced to the grain boundaries and surfaces of perovskite, resulting in a high-quality and low-defect perovskite film with a nearly tenfold improvement in carrier lifetime. More importantly, the CAB-treated perovskite films have a well-matched energy level with the charge transport layers, thus suppressing carrier nonradiative recombination and carrier accumulation. As a result, the optimized CAB-based device achieved a champion efficiency of 21.5% compared to the control device(18.2%). Since the ester group in CAB bonds with Pb in perovskite, and the H and O in the hydroxyl group bond with the I and organic cations in perovskite,respectively, it will contribute to superior stability under heat, high humidity, and light soaking conditions. After aging under 35% humidity(relative humidity, RH) for 3300 h, the optimized device can still maintain more than 90% of the initial efficiency;it can also retain more than 90% of the initial efficiency after aging at 65 ℃, 65% RH, or light(AM 1.5G) for 500 h. This simple optimization strategy for perovskite stability could facilitate the commercial application of perovskite solar cells.

Artificial Magnetic Conductor as Planar Antenna for 5G Evolution

A 5G wireless system requests a high-performance compact antenna device.This research work aims to report the characterization and verification of the artificial magnetic conductor(AMC)metamaterial for a high-gain planar antenna.The configuration is formed by a double-side structure on an intrinsic dielectric slab.The 2-D periodic pattern as an impedance surface is mounted on the top surface,whereas at the bottom surface the ground plane with an inductive narrow aperture source is embedded.The characteristic of the resonant transmission is illustrated based on the electromagnetic virtual object of the AMC resonant structure to reveal the unique property of a magnetic material response.The characteristics of the AMC metamaterial and the planar antenna synthesis are investigated and verified by experiment using a low-cost FR4 dielectric material.The directional antenna gain is obviously enhanced by guiding a primary field radiation.The loss effect in a dielectric slab is essentially studied having an influence on antenna radiation.The verification shows a peak of the antenna gain around 9.7 dB at broadside which is improved by 6.2 dB in comparison with the primary aperture antenna without the AMC structure.The thin antenna profile ofλ/37.5 is achieved at 10GHz for 5Gevolution.The emission property in an AMCstructure herein contributes to the development of a lowprofile and high-gain planar antenna for a compact wireless component.

Recent progress on the planar Hall effect in quantum materials

The planar Hall effect(PHE),which originates from anisotropic magnetoresistance,presents a qualitative and simple approach to characterize electronic structures of quantum materials by applying an in-plane rotating magnetic field to induce identical oscillations in both longitudinal and transverse resistances.In this review,we focus on the recent research on the PHE in various quantum materials,including ferromagnetic materials,topological insulators,Weyl semimetals,and orbital anisotropic matters.Firstly,we briefly introduce the family of Hall effect and give a basic deduction of PHE formula with the second-order resistance tensor,showing the mechanism of the characteristicπ-period oscillation in trigonometric function form with aπ/4 phase delay between the longitudinal and transverse resistances.Then,we will introduce the four main mechanisms to realize PHE in quantum materials.After that,the origin of the anomalous planar Hall effect(APHE)results,of which the curve shapes deviate from that of PHE,will be reviewed and discussed.Finally,the challenges and prospects for this field of study are discussed.

Unveiling the planar deformation mechanisms for improved formability in pre-twinned AZ31 Mg alloy sheet at warm temperature

To investigate the role of pre-twins in Mg alloy sheets during warm planar deformation,the stretch forming is conducted at 200℃.Results suggest the formability of the pre-twinned AZ31 Mg alloy sheet is enhanced to 11.30 mm.The mechanisms for the improved formability and the deformation behaviors during the planar stretch forming are systematically investigated based on the planar stress states.The Schmid factor for deformation mechanisms are calculated,the results reveal that planar stress states extremely affect the Schmid factor for{10-12}twinning.The detwinning is activated and the prismatic slip is enhanced in the pre-twinned sheet,especially under the planar extension stress state in the outer region.Consequently,the thickness-direction strain is accommodated better.The dynamic recrystallization(DRX)type is continuous DRX(CDRX)regardless of the planar stress state.However,the CDRX degree is greater under the planar extension stress state.Some twin lattices deviate from the perfect{10-12}twinning relation due to the planar compression stress state and the CDRX.The basal texture is weakened when the planar stress state tends to change the texture components.

Enhanced topological superconductivity in an asymmetrical planar Josephson junction

As a platform for holding Majorana zero models(MZMs),the two-dimensional planar topological Josephson junction that can be used as carriers for topological quantum computing faces some challenges.One is a combination of mirror and time-reversal symmetries may make the system hold multiple pairs of MZMs.The other is that a soft gap dominated by a large momentum occurs in a clean system.To solve these problems,asymmetric junction can be introduced.Breaking this symmetry changes the symmetry class from class BDI to class D,and only a single pair of MZMs can be left at the boundary of the system.We numerically study four cases that create an asymmetric system and find out different superconducting pairing potential,different coupling coefficients between two-dimensional electron gases(2DEGs)and two superconducting bulks,different widths of two superconducting bulks make the gap of the system decrease at the optimal value,but make the gap at the minimum value increases.And the zigzag-shape quasi-one-dimensional junction eliminates the large momentum parallel to the junction and enhances the gap at the large momentum.However,the zigzag-shape junction cannot increase the gap at the region of multiple pairs of MZMs in a symmetric system.We show that by combining zigzag-shape junction with different coupling coefficients,the system can maintain a large gap(≈0.2△)in a wide region of the parameter space.

This paper describes a guardring-free planar InAlAs/InGaAs avalanche photodiode(APD)by computational simulations and experimental results.The APD adopts the structure of separate absorption,charge,and multiplication(SACM)with top-illuminated.Computational simulations demonstrate how edge breakdown effect is suppressed in the guardringfree structure.The fabricated APD experiment results show that it can obtain a very low dark current while achieving a high gain×bandwidth(GB)product.The dark current is 3 nA at 0.9Vb r,and the unit responsivity is 0.4 A/W.The maximum3 dB bandwidth of 24 GHz and a GB product of 360 GHz are achieved for the fabricated APD operating at 1.55μm.

Crossing Limit Cycles of Planar Piecewise Hamiltonian Systems with Linear Centers Separated by Two Parallel Straight Lines

In this paper, we have studied several classes of planar piecewise Hamiltonian systems with three zones separated by two parallel straight lines. Firstly, we give the maximal number of limit cycles in these classes of systems with a center in two zones and without equilibrium points in the other zone (or with a center in one zone and without equilibrium points in the other zones). In addition, we also give examples to illustrate that it can reach the maximal number.

Modulating J-V hysteresis of planar perovskite solar cells and mini-modules via work function engineering

Commercialization of perovskite solar cells(PSCs) requires the development of high-efficiency devices with none current density-voltage(J-V) hysteresis. Here, electron transport layers(ETLs) with gradual change in work function(WF) are successfully fabricated and employed as an ideal model to investigate the energy barriers, charge transfer and recombination kinetics at ETL/perovskite interface. The energy barrier for electron injection existing at ETL/perovskite is directly assessed by surface photovoltage microscopy, and the results demonstrate the tunable barriers have significant impact on the J-V hysteresis and performance of PSCs. By work function engineering of ETL, PSCs exhibit PCEs over 21% with negligible hysteresis. These results provide a critical understanding of the origin reason for hysteresis effect in planar PSCs, and clear reveal that the J-V hysteresis can be effectively suppressed by carefully tuning the interface features in PSCs. By extending this strategy to a modified formamidinium-cesium-rubidium(FA-Cs-Rb) perovskite system, the PCEs are further boosted to 24.18%. Moreover, 5 cm × 5 cm perovskite mini-modules are also fabricated with an impressive efficiency of 20.07%, demonstrating compatibility and effectiveness of our strategy on upscaled devices.

Simulation and Modeling of Common Mode EMI Noise in Planar Transformers

The transformer is the key circuit component of the common-mode noise current when an isolated converter is working.The highfrequency characteristics of the transformer have an important influence on the common-mode noise of the converter.Traditionally,the measurement method is used for transformer modeling,and a single lumped device is used to establish the transformer model,which cannot be predicted in the transformer design stage.Based on the transformer common-mode noise transmission mechanism,this paper derives the transformer common-mode equivalent capacitance under ideal conditions.According to the principle of experimental measurement of the network analyzer,the electromagnetic field finite element simulation software three-dimensional(3D)modeling and simulation method is used to obtain the two-port parameters of the transformer,extract the high-frequency parameters of the transformer,and establish its electromagnetic compatibility equivalent circuit model.Finally,an experimental prototype is used to verify the correctness of the model by comparing the experimental measurement results with the simulation prediction results.
