Preferential orientation of the stripe phases in the quantum Hall (QH) regime has remained a puzzle since its discovery. We show experimentally and theoretically that the direction of high and low resistance of the two-dimensional (2D) hole gas in the QH regime can be controlled by an external strain. Depending on the sign of the in-plane shear strain, the Hartree-Fock energy of holes or electrons is minimized when the charge density wave (CDW) is oriented along the [110] or [110] directions. We suggest that shear strains due to internal electric fields in the growth direction are responsible for the observed orientation of CDW in pristine electron and hole samples.

Stripe Noise Removal in Blazed Grating Generation for Electrically Tunable Beam Deflector.

In this paper, we demonstrate a blazed phase grating to achieve tunable beam steering and propose a novel algorithm to reduce the stripe noise in wrapped phase. To control the diffraction angle to steer light to the desired direction, an electrically tunable transmission-type beam deflector based on liquid crystals is introduced, and electric fields are applied to the patterned indium tin oxide electrodes to change its phase retardation. Two different 2π phase-wrapping methods are applied to obtain various diffraction angles within the minimum cell-gap, and the method of equal interval of phase achieves a worthwhile diffraction efficiency compared to the methods based on equal interval of diffraction angle.

The extinction of species is a major threat to the biodiversity. Allee effects are strongly linked to population extinction vulnerability. Emerging ecological evidence from numerous ecosystems reveals that the Allee effect, which is brought on by two or more processes, can work on a single species concurrently.

In two-dimensional (2D) chiral metal-halide perovskites (MHPs), chiral organic spacers induce structural chirality and chiroptical properties in the metal-halide sublattice. This structural chirality enables reversible crystalline-glass phase transitions in (-NEA)PbBr, a prototypical chiral 2D MHP where NEA represents 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium. Here, we investigate two distinct spherulite states of (-NEA)PbBr, exhibiting either radial-like or stripe-like banded patterns depending on the annealing conditions of the amorphous film.

Materials exhibiting both metallic and semiconducting states, including two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have numerous applications. We therefore investigate the effects of axial and shear strains on the phase energetics of pristine and striped TMDs using density functional theory and classical molecular dynamics simulations. We demonstrate that control of the phase distribution can be achieved by the integration of strain engineering and Kirigami techniques.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how varying annealing temperatures affect the microstructure, chemical composition, phase structure, and piezoelectric properties of ZnO films.
- Findings indicate that while annealing generally increases grain size and improves crystal structure, too much heat can degrade the structure due to changes in oxygen content.
- ZnO films annealed at 400 °C show the best piezoelectric performance, indicating the importance of optimizing annealing conditions for sensor applications.
