Combining physics with computational models is increasingly recognized for enhancing the performance and energy efficiency in neural networks. Physical reservoir computing uses material dynamics of physical substrates for temporal data processing. Despite the ease of training, building an efficient reservoir remains challenging.

The discovery of chiral spin texture has unveiled many unusual yet extraordinary physical phenomena, such as the Néel type domain walls and magnetic skyrmions. A recent theoretical study suggests that a chiral exchange interaction is not limited to a single ferromagnetic layer; instead, three-dimensional spin textures can arise from an interlayer Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. However, the influence of chiral interlayer exchange coupling on the electrical manipulation of magnetization has rarely been addressed.

Although Si acts as an electrical semiconductor, it has properties of an optical dielectric. Here, we revisit the behavior of Si as a plasmonic metal. This behavior was previously shown to arise from strong interband transitions that lead to negative permittivity of Si across the ultraviolet spectral range.

Article Synopsis
  • Wavefront manipulation in metasurfaces has limitations due to phase mapping using a small number of elements, especially for high angle bending.
  • This study introduces a new method using asymmetric dielectric nanoantennas in diffraction gratings to efficiently redistribute energy for ultrahigh angle beam bending (over 80°).
  • Experimental results with titanium dioxide nanoantennas demonstrate high efficiencies (around 90% for blue light and 50% for green) in the visible spectrum, showcasing the versatility of this design for various wavelengths and polarizations.
