Oscillatory electrokinetic microflows of third-grade fluids exhibit complex multi-physics coupling that challenges conventional microfluidic control. This work establishes a dynamic electro-magneto-hydrodynamic (EMHD) model based on the Debye-Hückel linearization and regular perturbation method. To address the high-order nonlinearity and transient characteristics of the momentum equation for third-grade fluids, the regular perturbation and Laplace transform approach are employed for the first time to solve the equation, deriving a semi-analytical solution that decouples transient startup and quasi-periodic flow regimes through term decomposition. Analysis reveals that memory effects—governed by the non-Newtonian dimensionless parameter a1, which characterizes the fluid’s shear energy storage capacity—enhance oscillatory diffusion depth while suppressing velocity amplitudes as a1 increases. Notably, domain-wide shear stress vanishes under the extreme condition a1→∞. Synergistic analysis shows that electromagnetic field tuning optimizes flow rate via the force balance condition Ha ≈ 1.6/ (obtained from isocontour maximization) and achieves the peak pumping efficiency while maintaining enhanced mixing efficiency through near-wall oscillations. This framework culminates in an optimized parameter set, providing a theoretical guideline for designing microfluidic devices that balance high pumping efficiency with enhanced mixing efficiency.
三级流体的振荡电动力学微流表现出复杂的多物理场耦合,这对传统的微流控提出了挑战。本文建立了基于debye - h ckel线性化和正则摄动方法的动态电磁-磁流体动力学模型。针对三级流体动量方程的高阶非线性和瞬态特性,首次采用正则摄动和拉普拉斯变换方法求解该方程,通过项分解得到了瞬态启动和准周期流态解耦的半解析解。分析表明,记忆效应——由表征流体剪切蓄能能力的非牛顿无量纲参数a1控制——增加了振荡扩散深度,同时随着a1的增加抑制了速度振幅。值得注意的是,在极端条件a1→∞下,全域剪应力消失。协同分析表明,电磁场调谐通过力平衡条件Ha≈1.6/η(由等轮廓最大化得到)来优化流量,并通过近壁振荡达到泵送效率峰值,同时保持了提高的混合效率。该框架最终得到了一个优化的参数集,为设计平衡高泵送效率和增强混合效率的微流体装置提供了理论指导。

The investigation of non-Hermitian topological systems has attracted significant attention across diverse fields, including photonics and acoustics. Recent studies have demonstrated that disorder can induce topological states in otherwise trivial systems, leading to the discovery of Non-Hermitian topological Anderson insulator (NH-TAI). This study explores the effects of non-Hermitian disorder on acoustic systems through numerical simulations and theoretical calculation. Coupled acoustic cavity arrays with non-Hermitian disorder profiles in one- and two-dimensional configurations are investigated. The findings reveal that tuning the disorder strength can induce a transition from a trivial to a nontrivial topological phase. More importantly, by calculating the fractional mode charges through integration of the local density of states (LDOS) within the band gap, it is demonstrated that non-Hermitian disorder alone can induce a topological Anderson phase characterized via fractional mode charges. Additionally, the robustness of the system is confirmed by simulating structural defects. These findings are applicable to other physical platforms, such as optics, and pave a pathway for future research in non-Hermitian acoustics.

This study presents a theoretical investigation of the gain-assisted rotary and lateral photon drag effects induced by bidirectional rotation in chiral nanostructures composed of laterally coupled CdSe/ZnS semiconductor double quantum dot molecules. The system is driven by a combination of probe and control electromagnetic fields, where electron tunneling strength plays a pivotal role in shaping the optical, chiral, and gain-assisted responses. The chiral medium exhibits strong magnetoelectric coupling and structural asymmetry, enabling dynamic control over the rotary and lateral photon drag effects for both left- and right-circularly polarized (LCP and RCP) beams. Notably, the bidirectional rotation of the chiral nanostructure significantly enhances the drag response, with the degree of enhancement being strongly dependent on the tunneling strength. A large negative group index is observed, particularly for the RCP beam, indicating the presence of anomalous dispersion, medium gain, and high sensitivity to rotational dynamics. Additionally, the lateral photon drag demonstrates tunable beam displacement under varying tunneling strengths, offering an additional degree of control in light manipulation. Furthermore, the divergence angle between LCP and RCP beams, as well as the group indices, are shown to vary with the phase of the control field and magnetic field detuning. The electric and magnetic susceptibilities, along with the chiral coefficients, reveal enhanced dispersion and reduced absorption (even showing gain) at higher tunneling strengths. These results highlight the critical role of chirality, tunneling, gain, and rotational control in modulating light-matter interactions and pave the way for practical applications in lateral beam steering, optical communication, polarization encoding, optical tweezers, and chiral sensing technologies.

This study examines thermal transport and electroosmotic flow of an ionized electrolyte solution in a soft slit nanochannel with polyelectrolyte-coated walls. The polyelectrolyte layer (PEL), modeled as a fixed charge layer, interacts with ions both inside and outside, creating a semi-permeable interface. A dielectric difference between the PEL and electrolyte induces ion partitioning effects. The coupled Poisson-Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes equations are solved, with closed-form expressions obtained under the Debye-Hückel approximation and numerical solutions derived via finite difference approach. The influence of key dimensionless parameters on potential, velocity, ion distribution, temperature profile, and Nusselt and Brinkman number is analyzed. Results highlight the role of electrokinetic effects, Joule heating, ionic selectivity, and viscous dissipation in governing nanoscale thermal transport phenomena.

In this study, we combine first-principles calculations with theoretical derivations to highlight the crucial role of Bloch states in determining spin-orbit torque (SOT) in nanomaterials. The underlying mechanism is that the evanescent states and cross-terms with different phases can be neglected in an infinite system. Our approach enables the use of symmetry analysis to identify the relationship of key components in the equilibrium SOT. For instance, for nonmagnetic WSe2, WSSe monolayers, and the iron thin film, our symmetry analysis can be well adapted to examine the relationship of equilibrium SOT in (kx, ky) space. Since magnetic moments break certain lattice symmetries in the iron thin film, the equilibrium SOT of magnetic iron thin film is larger than that of WSSe.

A monolayer of black phosphorus (BP) is examined in the presence of an external magnetic field. The electronic energy spectrum is obtained through a tight-binding Hamiltonian, after which the non-extensive Tsallis statistical formalism is employed to evaluate the thermodynamic behavior of the system. Within this framework, the entropy, mean energy, and specific heat of the monolayer BP are systematically calculated. The results indicate that the specific heat exhibits a pronounced peak, characteristic of a Schottky-type anomaly at low temperatures. The position of this peak is temperature-dependent, while its amplitude varies with both the applied magnetic field and the non-extensive parameter q. Moreover, both the entropy and the mean energy increase monotonically with rising temperature, whereas an increase in magnetic field strength reduces the entropy at a fixed temperature.

Based on a finite-size extended XY spin chain with topological characteristics, we investigate in detail the dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) induced by quench parameters, including the three-spin interaction, the external magnetic field, and the anisotropy parameters. Four constraint relations that the quench parameters must satisfy to ensure exact zeros of the Loschmidt echo are derived. When the values of prequench and post-quench parameters lie within regions corresponding to different topological quantum phases, the critical time associated with the nonanalytic behavior of DQPTs exhibits a single time scale, and this property remains independent of the magnitude of the change in winding numbers that characterize the topological quantum phases. However, when the quench parameter is suddenly changed within the same topological quantum phase and crosses three or four topological phase transition points, DQPTs are observed to occur, and even the number of critical time scales increases with the system size. In particular, for large spin chains, the rate function of the Loschmidt echo exhibits periodic oscillations as a function of time.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of a two-cavity quantum electrodynamics system, in which each cavity hosts two quantum dots coupled via a waveguide. By deriving the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian, we identified a range of highly entangled states involving four excitons in the quantum dots and photons shared between the cavities. The temporal evolution of the Schrödinger equation was then employed to examine the phases of these entangled states and the specific times at which they emerge, while the degree of entanglement was quantified using the von Neumann entropy. Furthermore, we incorporated decoherence effects by solving the Lindblad master equation, enabling the determination of the effective time window for manipulating the entangled states before decoherence degrades their dynamics.

We propose a theoretical framework for generating and transferring macroscopic bipartite and tripartite entanglement in a hybrid magnon-microwave-atom-optomechanical system. This hybrid configuration includes five coupled modes: an optical cavity, a microwave cavity, a magnon mode, a mechanical oscillator, and an ensemble of two-level atoms. Entanglement is initially generated between the optical and mechanical modes by radiation pressure and then transferred to the atom-cavities and magnon-microwave subsystems through state-swap interactions. These entangled subsystems, in turn, mediate indirect entanglement between distant modes such as the atom-phonon, phonon-microwave, phonon-magnon, atom-magnon, magnon-optical, optical-microwave pairs, as well as the atom-magnon-phonon tripartite subsystem. We show that by tuning system parameters (including detunings, coupling strengths, and dissipation rates), the strength and stability of the entanglement can be significantly improved, even in the presence of thermal noise. This work provides a promising platform for achieving robust and long-range entanglement in hybrid multi-mode systems, with potential applications in quantum information technology.

The XFe12O19 (X = Ba, Sr) M-type hexaferrites were successfully synthesized using the sol-gel auto-combustion process to examine their structural, morphological, electronic, photocatalytic, and optical properties, supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work combines comprehensive experiments with first-principles calculations to clearly and comparatively explain how substituting Sr²⁺ and Ba²⁺ into the M-type XFe12O19 (X = Ba, Sr) structure influences the lattice, alters the electronic and optical characteristics, and impacts the material's photocatalytic behavior. The XRD analysis confirms single-phase hexagonal magnetoplumbite structures (P63/mmc) without secondary phases, with experimentally measured crystalline sizes of 44.54 nm for BaFe12O19 and 33.72 nm for SrFe12O19. The structural properties of both hexaferrites show good agreement between theoretical and experimental results. SEM images reveal plate-like morphologies with agglomerated grains, while EDX analysis confirms a stoichiometric composition. The simulated electronic band structures show direct transitions in these compositions, and calculated values match experimental results. Optical studies identify direct energy band gaps of 2.676 eV for BaFe12O19 and 1.602 eV for SrFe12O19, as determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy. BaFe12O19 and SrFe12O19 hexaferrites degraded Methylene Blue by 81% and 97%, respectively, demonstrating that the first-order kinetic model fits well with the excellent photocatalytic oxidation. Theoretical findings align with experimental results from FTIR, UV–Vis, PL, and photocatalytic tests, confirming that these compositions are promising for photocatalytic applications.

This work combines comprehensive experiments with first-principles calculations to clearly and comparatively explain how substituting Sr²⁺ and Ba²⁺ into the M-type XFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub> (X = Ba, Sr) structure influences the lattice, alters the electronic and optical characteristics, and impacts the material's photocatalytic behavior. The XRD analysis confirms single-phase hexagonal magnetoplumbite structures (P63/mmc) without secondary phases, with experimentally measured crystalline sizes of 44.54 nm for BaFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub> and 33.72 nm for SrFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub>. The structural properties of both hexaferrites show good agreement between theoretical and experimental results. SEM images reveal plate-like morphologies with agglomerated grains, while EDX analysis confirms a stoichiometric composition. The simulated electronic band structures show direct transitions in these compositions, and calculated values match experimental results. Optical studies identify direct energy band gaps of 2.676 eV for BaFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub> and 1.602 eV for SrFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub>, as determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy. BaFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub> and SrFe<sub>12</sub>O<sub>19</sub> hexaferrites degraded Methylene Blue by 81% and 97%, respectively, demonstrating that the first-order kinetic model fits well with the excellent photocatalytic oxidation. Theoretical findings align with experimental results from FTIR, UV–Vis, PL, and photocatalytic tests, confirming that these compositions are promising for photocatalytic applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10340,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Physics","volume":"99 ","pages":"Pages 199-212"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145797822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
