We revisit the interaction between a point charge and an inhomogeneous magnetic field that yields the magnetic quantum dot system. This magnetic field is defined by filling the whole space, except for a region of radius r0. Then, we assume that there is an impenetrable potential wall located at r0 and discuss the quantum effects of screw dislocation topology and the missing magnetic flux. We first show that Landau levels can be achieved even though there is the presence of an impenetrable potential wall. We go further by discussing the confinement of a point charge to a cylindrical wire. In both cases, we show Aharonov–Bohm-type effects for bound states can be obtained from the influence of the screw dislocation topology and the missing magnetic flux. Later, we discuss the influence of the screw dislocation topology and the missing magnetic flux on the magnetization and the persistent currents.

A p–n heterojunction film consisting of p-type CuFe2O4 and n-type ZnFe2O4 was fabricated in this study. The n-type ZnFe2O4 film was deposited on a stainless steel substrate using the spray pyrolysis method, after which a top layer of p-type CuFe2O4 thin film was deposited and annealed. Characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence, confirmed the formation of a superlattice p–n heterojunction between CuFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4. Photoelectrochemical measurements were conducted to investigate the photoelectrochemical properties of the samples, resulting in a photocurrent of 1.2 mA/cm2 at 1.5 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) under illumination from a 100-watt LED light source. Utilizing the p–n junction of CuFe2O4/ZnFe2O4 as a photoanode increased the hydrogen production rate by 30% compared to that of the dark measurement. This enhancement in performance was attributed to the potential barrier at the p–n heterojunction interface, which improved the separation of photoinduced electron–hole pairs and facilitated a more efficient charge transfer. Additionally, coating the stainless steel electrode with this ferrite sample improved both the corrosion resistance and the stability of hydrogen production over extended operation times.
本研究制备了由 p 型 CuFe2O4 和 n 型 ZnFe2O4 组成的 p-n 异质结薄膜。n 型 ZnFe2O4 薄膜采用喷雾热解法沉积在不锈钢基底上,然后沉积一层 p 型 CuFe2O4 薄膜并进行退火处理。X 射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜、紫外可见光漫反射光谱和光致发光等表征技术证实,CuFe2O4 和 ZnFe2O4 之间形成了超晶格 p-n 异质结。为了研究样品的光电化学特性,对其进行了光电化学测量,结果表明,在 100 瓦 LED 光源的照射下,1.5 V 时的光电流为 1.2 mA/cm2(相对于 Ag/AgCl)。利用 CuFe2O4/ZnFe2O4 的 p-n 结作为光阳极,氢气产生率比黑暗测量时提高了 30%。性能的提高归功于 p-n 异质结界面的势垒,它改善了光诱导电子-空穴对的分离,促进了更有效的电荷转移。此外,在不锈钢电极上涂覆这种铁氧体样品还能提高耐腐蚀性,并能在较长的操作时间内稳定制氢。

This article begins with an interdisciplinary review of a hydrodynamic approach to understanding the origins and nature of macroscopic quantum phenomena in high-temperature superconductivity, superfluidity, turbulence and biological systems. Building on this review, we consider new theoretical insights into the origin and nature of pointer states and their role in the emergence of quantum systems. The approach includes a theory of quantum coherence underpinned by turbulence, generated by a field of pointer states, which take the form of recirculating, spin-1/2 vortices (toroids), interconnected via a cascade of spin-1 vortices. Decoherence occurs when the bosonic network connecting pointer states is disrupted, leading to their localisation. Building further on this work, we explore how quantum particles (in the form of different vortex structures) could emerge as the product of a causal dynamic process, within a turbulent (fractal) spacetime. The resulting particle structures offer new insights into intrinsic spin, the probabilistic nature of the wave function and how we might consider pointer states within the standard “point source” representation of a quantum particle, which intuitively requires a more complexed description.

In this work, we have studied the microstructure and unusual ferromagnetic behavior in epitaxial tin dioxide (SnO2) films implanted with 40 keV Co+ ions to a high fluence of 1.0 × 1017 ions/cm2 at room or elevated substrate temperatures. The aim was to comprehensively understand the interplay between cobalt implant distribution, crystal defects (such as oxygen vacancies), and magnetic properties of Co-implanted SnO2 films, which have potential applications in spintronics. We have utilized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), differential thermomagnetic analysis (DTMA), and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) to investigate Co-implanted epitaxial SnO2 films. The comprehensive experimental investigation shows that the Co ion implantation with high cobalt concentration induces significant changes in the microstructure of SnO2 films, leading to the appearance of ferromagnetism with the Curie temperature significantly above the room temperature. We also established a strong influence of implantation temperature and subsequent high-temperature annealing in air or under vacuum on the magnetic properties of Co-implanted SnO2 films. In addition, we report a strong chemical effect of ethanol on the FMR spectra. The obtained results are discussed within the model of two magnetic layers, with different concentrations and valence states of the implanted cobalt, and with a high content of oxygen vacancies.

In this work, we present an innovative calibration technique leveraging differentiable programming to enhance energy resolution and reduce the energy scale systematic uncertainty in X-ray spectroscopic experiments. This approach is demonstrated using synthetic data and is applicable in general to various spectroscopic measurements. This method extends the scope of differentiable programming for calibration, employing Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to achieve a target Probability Density Function (PDF) for a fully differentiable model of the calibration. To assess the effectiveness of the calibration, we conduct a toy simulation replicating the entire detector response chain and compare it with a standard calibration. This ensures a robust and reliable calibration methodology, holding promise for improving energy resolution and providing a more versatile and efficient approach without the need for extensive fine-tuning.

This study presents experimental investigations on the normal restitution coefficients of a titanium bead (Ti), zirconia bead (ZrO2), and amorphous zirconium alloy sphere (Amor). The research explores the influence of particle diameter and collision velocity on the normal restitution coefficient between two independent, identical spherical particles of different materials. The experimental findings demonstrate that increasing the particle diameter results in more effective plastic deformation, leading to higher energy losses and, subsequently, smaller coefficients of restitution. Similarly, higher particle velocities cause more energy dissipation during collisions, resulting in smaller restitution coefficients. Comparing particles of different materials, those with larger yield strengths exhibit more elastic behavior, experience less initial energy loss due to deformation, and reach the maximum restitution coefficient (elastic state) with fewer collisions. This finding suggests that material properties significantly influence the overall energy dissipation and elastic response in the particles. To validate the experimental results, existing models are compared and discussed. Furthermore, potential physical mechanisms responsible for the observed behavior are explored, providing valuable insights into the collision dynamics in spherical particle interactions. Overall, this study contributes to a better understanding of the factors affecting the normal restitution coefficient in particle collisions, enabling the design and optimization of particle systems for diverse applications in condensed matter and related fields.

We discuss how the interaction of electrons with an overdamped optical phonon can give rise to a strange-metal behavior over extended temperature and frequency ranges. Although the mode has a finite frequency, an increasing damping shifts spectral weight to progressively lower energies so that despite the ultimate Fermi liquid character of the system at the lowest temperatures and frequencies, the transport and optical properties of the electron system mimic a marginal Fermi liquid behavior. Within this shrinking Fermi liquid scenario, we extensively investigate the electron self-energy in all frequency and temperature ranges, emphasizing similarities and differences with respect to the marginal Fermi liquid scenario.
