Determination of Domain Wall Velocity and Nucleation Time by Switching Dynamics Studies of Ferroelectric Hafnium Zirconium Oxide

July 22, 2022
Author(s)
Xiao Lyu, Pragya Shrestha, Mengwei Si, Panni Wang, Junkang Li, Kin (Charles) Cheung, Yu Shimeng, Peide Ye
In this work, we present the first experimental determination of nucleation time and domain wall (DW) velocity by studying switching dynamics of ferroelectric (FE) hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO). Experimental data and simulation results were used to

Floquet engineering topological Dirac bands

July 22, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Spielman, Mingwu Lu, Amilson R. Fritsch, Graham Reid, Alina Pineiro Escalera
We experimentally realized a time-periodically modulated 1D lattice for ultracold atoms featuring a pair of linear bands, each associated with a Floquet winding number: a topological invariant. These bands are spin-momentum locked and almost perfectly

Multi-bit per-cell 1T SiGe Floating Body RAM for Cache Memory in Cryogenic Computing

July 22, 2022
Author(s)
Pragya Shrestha, Jason Campbell, Wriddhi Chakraborty, A Gupta, R Saligram, S Spetalnick, A Raychowdhury, Suman Datta
Cryogenic computing requires high-density on-die cache memory with low latency, high bandwidth and energy-efficient access to increase cache hit and maximize processor performance. Here, we experimentally demonstrate, high-speed multi-bit memory operation

Fundamental Physics with a State-of-the-Art Optical Clock in Space

July 21, 2022
Author(s)
Andrei Derevianko, Kurt Gibble, Leo Hollberg, Nathan R. Newbury, Chris Oates, Marianna Safranova, Laura Sinclair
Recent advances in optical atomic clocks and optical time transfer have enabled new possibilities in precision metrology for both tests of fundamental physics and timing applications. Here we describe a space mission concept that would place a state-of-the

Microstructure changes during failure of PVDF-based photovoltaic backsheets

July 21, 2022
Author(s)
Stephanie Moffitt, Po-Chang Pan, Lakesha Perry, Michael Kempe, Jared Tracy, Kaushik Choudhury, Xiaohong Gu
The backsheet layer of a solar module provides a safety and environmental barrier to the high voltages running through the photovoltaic (PV) cells and electrical contacts within the core of the module. However, in the past decade, backsheet cracking has

Ultrafast stiffening of concentrated thermoresponsive polymer-mineral suspensions

July 21, 2022
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Sharu Kandy, Iman Mehdipour, Narayanan Neithalath, Aditya Kumar, Mathieu Bauchy, Samanvaya Srivastava, Torben Gaedt, Gaurav Sant
Extrusion-based 3D printing with rapidly hardening polymeric materials is capable of building almost any conceivable structure. However, concrete, one of the most widely used materials for large-scale structural components, is generally based on inorganic

Metasurface on integrated photonic platform: from mode converters to machine learning

July 20, 2022
Author(s)
Zi Wang, Yahui Xiao, Kun Liao, Tiantian Li, Hao Song, Haoshuo Chen, S M Zia Uddin, Dun Mao, Feifan Wang, Zhiping Zhou, Bo Yuan, Wei Jiang, Nikolas Fontaine, Amit Agrawal, Alan Willner, Xiaoyong Yu, Tingyi Gu
Integrated photonic circuits are created as a small form factor and robust analogue for fiber-based optical systems, from wavelength-division multiplication transceivers to more recent mode-division multiplex-ing components. Silicon nanowire waveguides

Security Guidance for First Responder Mobile and Wearable Devices

July 20, 2022
Author(s)
Gema Howell, Kevin Gerard Brady, Don Harriss, Scott Ledgerwood
Public safety officials utilizing the forthcoming public safety broadband networks will have access to devices, such as mobile devices, tablets and wearables. These devices offer new ways for first responders to complete their missions but may also

Selective C-terminal Conjugation of Trypsin-Digested Peptides for Proteomic Measurements

July 20, 2022
Author(s)
Tian Xie, Alexandria Brady, Cecilia Velarde, David Vaccarello, Nicholas Callahan, John Marino, Sara Orski
Bottom-up proteomic experiments often require selective conjugation or labeling of the N- and/or C-termini of peptides either through bottom up approaches or selective post-cleavage functionalization of specific residues after proteolytic digestion . For

Transport Properties of Few-Layer NbSe2: from Electronic Structure to Thermoelectric Properties

July 20, 2022
Author(s)
Tianhui Zhu, Peter Litwin, Md Golam Rosul, Devin Jessup, Md Sabbir Akhanda, Farjana Tonni, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Petra Reinke, Stephen McDonnell, Mona Zebarjadi
4-layer NbSe2 is grown on SiO2 by molecular beam epitaxy. The in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements suggest a Nb-rich stoichiometry (Nb1+xSe2) likely due to intercalation of Nb atoms in between the NbSe2 layers. The metallic nature of

Development and Application of an Indoor Carbon Dioxide Metric

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily
Indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have been considered for decades in evaluating indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation, and more recently in discussions of the risk of airborne infectious disease transmission. However, many of these

Electrostatic Repulsion Slows Relaxations of Polyelectrolytes in Semidilute Solutions

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Ali Slim, Winnie Shi, Farshad S. Samghabadi, Antonio Faraone, Amanda Marciel, Ryan Poling-Skutvik, Jacinta Conrad
We investigate the structure and dynamics of unentangled semidilute solutions of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS) using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron spin-echo (NSE) spectroscopy. The effects of electrostatic interactions and chain

Magnetic-field sensitive charge density wave orders in the superconducting phase of UTe2

Author(s)
Anuva Aishwarya, Julian May-Mann, Arjun Raghavan, Laimei Nie, Marisa Romanelli, Sheng Ran, Shanta Saha, Johnpierre Paglione, Nicholas Butch, Eduardo Fradkin, Vidya Madhavan
The intense interest in triplet superconductivity partly stems from theoretical predictions of exotic excitations such as non-abelian Majorana modes, chiral supercurrents, and half-quantum vortices. However, fundamentally new, and unexpected states may
