We report the effect of thickness and width on the spin wave transport and dispersion characteristics of permalloy (Py) microstripes using analytical calculations and experiments. Py waveguides with widths ranging from 2 to 4 μm were fabricated for two different thicknesses: 5 and 20 nm. Our results show a notable increase in the group velocity of spin waves with greater thickness, showing a fourfold rise as the thickness increases. Additionally, the accessible frequency range expands from 0.6 to 2.5 GHz as the thickness increases. We find that the spin wave mode frequency is affected by both thickness and width, with a frequency shift of approximately 0.2 GHz observed when the width increases from 2 to 4 μm. Moreover, spin waves decay more rapidly in thinner films, with the decay length of 20 nm-thick waveguides being four times longer than that of 5 nm-thick waveguides. Thicker and wider waveguides provide a longer decay length, facilitating the transmission of information over longer distances without significant energy loss. Our study offers an understanding of the spin wave propagation in microstrip waveguides and its potential in the development of future magnonic devices.

We study the impedance behavior of two ferrofluids, of a similar magnetic material, one constituted by spherical nanoparticles and the other constituted by cubes, both suspended in kerosene. The ferrofluid constituted by cubic nanoparticles has 10% doping of a rare earth ion. The samples were inserted between two parallel disk-like electrodes of area S=2.3cm2 made of surgical steel, separated by d=127μm. The impedance was measured by applying a sinusoidal voltage of amplitude V0=30 mV, from 1 mHz to 100 kHz. To analyze the experimental data, we use a model based on the Poisson–Nernst–Planck equations, with Ohmic boundary conditions. In the analysis, we assume that the ferrofluids contain free ions, originated from the manufacturing process, released by the stabilization layer around the magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in kerosene. The corresponding nanoparticles are charged of opposite signs with respect to these free ions. In the high frequency region, the effective diffusion coefficient coincides with that from the free diffusion coefficients, defined as the mathematical average between the diffusion coefficients of the nanoparticles and the free ions. In the low frequency region, we found the ambipolar diffusion coefficient, defined as their harmonic average. The effect of the electrodes is taken into account by means of surface conductivity to describe the conduction current across the electrode, assumed to be proportional to the surface electric field. In this model, the role of the electrodes is important just in the low frequency region. On the contrary, in the high frequency region, where the electric current is dominated by the displacement current, the role of the electrodes is negligible. The results show that the nanoparticles of the magnetic material have no effects on the higher-frequency range of the impedance spectra. In the low frequency region, our results indicate a difference in the electric response of the two ferrofluids. Due to their similar dimensions and, hence, similar ambipolar diffusion coefficients, we impute the observed different behavior to the charge transfer from the bulk to the external circuit included in the surface conductivity.

Zeldovich amplification of classic waves carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) from a rotating absorber is an extension of Penrose superradiance from a rotating black hole. The demonstration of Zeldovich amplification in recently published experiments showed the possibility of extracting energy from a spinning black hole or a rotating absorber. However, it remains unclear whether extracting energy from non-absorbent bodies is possible. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the amplification of acoustic OAM from rotating impellers made of non-absorbent materials. We develop a multichannel least-mean-square algorithm to emit high-charge acoustic OAM beams into three types of impellers. The acoustic gains (more than 20 dB) have been measured by both a static microphone and a microphone array working as a virtual rotating receiver. The results indicate that the acoustic gain from the impeller with a large windward area is much higher than the ones with a small area. Our work is worthwhile in proposing the experimental method to study the phenomenon of acoustic OAM amplification and showing prospects in industrial applications such as amplifying acoustic signals by commonly used impellers. Our work also discusses a possible way of extracting energy from non-absorbent celestial systems, such as the orbiting planets of the Solar system, which are much less absorbent to light but much closer to the Earth than a black hole.

We have studied the dielectric, structural, and vibrational properties of 0.95NaNbO3–0.05(Na0.50Bi0.50)TiO3 (05NBT) solid solution belonging to the NN–NBT family that possess efficient power functionality and large electro-strain. We found that the magnitude of dielectric permittivity increases with temperature and shows diffuse peak anomalies at various temperatures. Detailed analyses of temperature-dependent neutron diffraction patterns revealed that the sample has the ideal cubic perovskite structure above 650 °C. On cooling, it undergoes a series of structural phase transitions from cubic to orthorhombic phases due to condensation of various lattice instabilities. The amplitude of antiferrodistortive distortion mode analysis showed that the value of primary distortive mode decreases on heating and, finally, diminishes at the phase transition temperatures. The displacement patterns corresponding to various lattice instabilities responsible for this structural phase transition are identified. Raman spectra exhibit noticeable changes in the relative intensities between the peaks as well as broadening, merging, and disappearance of certain peaks on heating. The symmetrical and asymmetrical stretching modes (ν1 and ν2) of BO6 octahedra exhibit opposite behavior with temperature while the bending modes merge into a single broad band. This provides clear evidence of local structural changes in the system.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) continue to be the “front runner” technology among emerging photovoltaic devices in terms of power conversion efficiency and versatility of applications. However, improving stability and understanding their relationship with their ionic–electronic transport mechanisms continue to be challenging. In this work, a case study of NiOx-based inverted PSCs and the effect of different interface passivating treatments on device performance is presented. Impedance spectroscopy (IS) measurements in short-circuit conditions were performed under different illumination intensities, as well as bias-stress operational stability tests under constant illumination intensity. Surface treatments that involved bulky Lewis bases resulted in better and more stable performance. In contrast, acidic anion donors could induce both an initial performance decrease with a characteristic three-arcs impedance Nyquist plot and a subsequent instability during light exposure. Drift–diffusion simulations suggest strong modifications of surface recombination at the interface with the hole transport material, and for the ion concentration and mobilities in the perovskite. Importantly, capacitance and resistance are shown to peak maximum and minimum values, respectively, around mobile ion concentration (Nion) of 1016 and 1017 cm−3. These features relate to the transition from a drift-, for low Nion below a threshold value, to a diffusion-dominated transport in the bulk of the perovskite, for high Nion beyond the threshold value. Our results introduce a general route for characterization of instability paths in PSCs via IS performed under short-circuit conditions.

Recently, high entropy alloy (HEA) has become a research hotspot as a new candidate structural material in nuclear reactors due to its good irradiation resistance in swelling and hardening. Focusing on the temperature effect of irradiation damage, this work investigated the influence of irradiation temperature on dislocation evolution and irradiation hardening of HEAs. CoCrFeMnNi HEA was irradiated by high-energy Fe ions at room temperature and 500 °C. It was found that dense small dislocations were produced in the damage attenuation region (i.e., the tail of the ion range) of HEAs after irradiation at room temperature, whereas the irradiation-induced dislocations could not be observed in the damage attenuation region when the irradiation temperature was increased to 500 °C. For the small-sized dislocations, dissociation may occur more easily than long-range migration in HEAs (such as CoCrFeNi systems) due to the inhibition of defect migration and the decrease in defect binding energy, and this order is reversed in pure metals (such as Ni, W). Therefore, at 500 °C irradiation, small dislocations in the damage attenuation region of CoCrFeMnNi HEAs were dissociated before migrating to deeper regions, thereby resulting in the depth of dislocation distribution smaller than the stopping and range of ions in matter-calculated damage stopping depth, unlike the phenomenon in pure metals where dislocations migrated to regions exceeding the calculated depth. In addition, the dislocation density of CoCrFeMnNi HEAs decreased significantly due to the promotion of dissociation and merging of dislocations by elevated temperatures, and the hardening after 500 °C irradiation was less than that after room temperature irradiation.

We develop an analytical model for estimating the equilibrium quantities, such as electron temperature and number density, in an electron beam–plasma interaction system. This model provides a convenient way to calculate the effective electron temperature and density by considering the energy balance of the bulk cold electrons. Six energy sources/losses terms relevant to the cold electrons are accounted for, where quasi-linear theory is applied for estimating wave heating at equilibrium. We compare this calculation with the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation results and find good agreement. Based on these results, we then consider two situations where we can simplify our model. The first is dominated by the balance between electron–electron Coulomb collisions and loss to the anode, which is mostly relevant to the conduction phase of plasma switches. The second is dominated by wave heating balanced by the anode loss, relevant to the electron beam–plasma discharge systems. We then couple our simplified energy balance model with the ion diffusion model and solve both the number density and the electron temperature as functions of the current density, electrode distance, pressure, and applied voltage, where a nice agreement is also obtained when comparing to PIC simulations.

An ultrasonic nondestructive method for evaluating bonding interface properties using Stoneley waves was proposed. First, a theoretical model was established. In this model, the dispersion relationship of the Stoneley wave at the quartz–steel interface and the transient signals generated by a pulse were analyzed. Significant differences were observed in the dispersion characteristics of Stoneley waves under different weak bonding conditions. Laser ultrasonic experiments were conducted to confirm the theoretical predictions, in which different interfacial strengths were simulated through the bonding–curing times. Based on these results, the inversion method was implemented to reconstruct the interfacial stiffness by using the corresponding dispersion of the Stoneley wave at different quartz–steel bonding interfaces extracted by the spectral analysis method. The results showed a similar tendency to those shown by theoretical predictions. Finally, the reconstructed interfacial stiffnesses were used to calculate the transient waveforms of the interface waves at different bonding–curing times, and the results showed good consistency with the experimental results, thereby verifying the rationality of the inversion results.

Two-dimensional spintronics has become a hot topic in recent years due to its advantages and potential in manipulating electron spins. In this paper, the electronic structures and magnetic properties of the Janus NbSSe monolayer are calculated using first-principles and Monte Carlo methods. Our study shows that the ground state of the material is a ferromagnetic metal. Under carrier doping, it undergoes a second-order phase transition from metal to half-metal, achieving 100% spin polarization, and enhancing or weakening ferromagnetic coupling. The value of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy is 570.96 μeV, and doping with an appropriate concentration of holes can transform the easy magnetization axis from in-plane to out-of-plane. Since the out-of-plane mirror symmetry is broken, we study the charge changes in the layer under the action of an external electric field. Due to the combined action of the external electric field and the built-in electric field, the layer exhibits a unique charge transfer mode. It is predicted that the Curie temperature of the material is about 156 K. When doped with 4.01 × 1013 cm−2 (0.04 holes per atom) concentration holes, the Curie temperature can reach about 350 K, indicating that the Curie temperature of the material can be reasonably controlled by regulating the carrier concentration. The coercive force calculated from the hysteresis loop is 0.01 T, and its hysteresis loss is low, showing its response to the external magnetic field. All of the above results indicate the application potential of this material in spin-electronic devices.

The value of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy is 570.96 μeV, and doping with an appropriate concentration of holes can transform the easy magnetization axis from in-plane to out-of-plane. Since the out-of-plane mirror symmetry is broken, we study the charge changes in the layer under the action of an external electric field. Due to the combined action of the external electric field and the built-in electric field, the layer exhibits a unique charge transfer mode. It is predicted that the Curie temperature of the material is about 156 K. When doped with 4.01 × 1013 cm−2 (0.04 holes per atom) concentration holes, the Curie temperature can reach about 350 K, indicating that the Curie temperature of the material can be reasonably controlled by regulating the carrier concentration. The coercive force calculated from the hysteresis loop is 0.01 T, and its hysteresis loss is low, showing its response to the external magnetic field. All of the above results indicate the application potential of this material in spin-electronic devices.","PeriodicalId":15088,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Physics","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142204379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}
We investigate the stability of the polar surface of ZnO films grown homoepitaxially on atomically flat ZnO (0001¯) O-face substrates by neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) pulsed laser deposition (PLD). For films grown in the temperature range from 500 to 700 °C, ion scattering spectroscopy showed that the film surface termination was the same as the ZnO substrate. Even for a Mg0.2Zn0.8O/ZnO superlattice, no polarity reversal occurred, indicating that the ZnO (0001¯) O-face is highly stable, despite the film surface sputtering caused by the high kinetic energy of the PLD plume generated by the Nd:YAG laser.
我们研究了通过钕钇铝石榴石（Nd:YAG）脉冲激光沉积（PLD）技术在原子平的氧化锌（0001¯）O 面基底上同序长成的氧化锌薄膜极性表面的稳定性。对于在 500 至 700 °C 温度范围内生长的薄膜，离子散射光谱显示薄膜的表面终止与氧化锌基底相同。即使是 Mg0.2Zn0.8O/ZnO 超晶格，也没有发生极性反转，这表明 ZnO (0001¯) O 面高度稳定，尽管 Nd:YAG 激光产生的高动能脉冲激光沉积羽流会导致薄膜表面溅射。
