Super-Klein Tunneling in a Black-Phosphorus-Based N-P Junction Modulated by Linearly Polarized Light.

We investigate the role of the black-phosphorus-based n-p (BP-np) junction modulated by linearly polarized light (LPL) in governing the quantum transport behaviors. Following the analysis of the band structures, we find that the LPL can adjust the gap between the conduction and valence bands by reducing the impact of momentum mismatch caused by the band gap. In addition, LPL can also eliminate the angle dependence of transmission.

Quantum transmission through the n-p-n heterojunction of massive 8-borophene.

We investigate the quantum transmission through the n-p-n heterojunction of massive 8-borophene. It is found that the Dirac mass of the electron interacts nontrivially with the anisotropy of the 8-borophene, leading to the occurrence of new transmission behaviors in this n-p-n heterojunction. Firstly, the effective energy range of nonzero transmission can be reduced but deviates from the mass amplitude, which induces the further controllability of the transmission property.

Interference effect on the Andreev reflections induced by Majorana bound states.

We investigate the effect of quantum interference on the Andreev reflections (ARs) induced by Majorana bound states (MBSs), by considering their additional coupling via a quantum-dot molecule. It is found that due to the direct and indirect couplings of MBSs, a quantum ring is constructed in this system. Consequently, the interference effect makes important contribution to the ARs, especially in the presence of the local magnetic flux.

Frustrated nonsequential double ionization of Ar atoms in counter-rotating two-color circular laser fields.

We theoretically investigate the frustrated double ionization (FDI) of Ar atoms with counter-rotating two-color circular (CRTC) laser fields using the three-dimensional (3D) classical ensemble method. Our results show that the FDI probability depends upon the intensity ratio of the CRTC laser fields. The FDI event accompanied with the recollision excitation with subsequent ionization is prevalent and three pathways exist in FDI processes driven by CRTC laser fields.

MiR-559 targets GP73 to suppress proliferation and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the common malignant tumors with poor overall prognosis. As a tumor suppressor, the function of miR-559 in HCC is not clear. In this study, quantitative real-time PCR was carried out to measure the expression of miR-559 in HCC cell lines.

Fano effect in a one-dimensional photonic lattice with side-coupled -symmetric non-Hermitian defects.

We theoretically study the transport properties in a one-dimensional photonic lattice influenced by the presence of side-coupled -symmetric non-Hermitian defects. The symmetry is manifested as the complex potentials on the defects and the complex defect-lattice couplings, respectively. These two mechanisms are found to induce the Fano effect in the transport processes, with the different characteristics of it.

[Formula: see text] symmetry of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with imaginary boundary potentials and next-nearest-neighboring coupling.

By introducing the next-nearest-neighboring (NNN) intersite coupling, we investigate the eigenenergies of the [Formula: see text]-symmetric non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with two conjugated imaginary potentials at the end sites. It is found that with the strengthening of NNN coupling, the particle-hole symmetry is destroyed. As a result, the bonding band is first narrowed and then undergoes the top-bottom reversal followed by the its width's increase, whereas the antibonding band is widened monotonously.
