Two types of negative electron affinity gallium arsenide (GaAs) wire array photocathodes were fabricated by reactive ion etching and inductively coupled plasma etching of bulk GaAs material. High density GaAs wire arrays with high periodicity and good morphology were verified using scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectra confirmed the wire arrays had good crystalline quality. Reflection spectra showed that circular GaAs wire arrays had superior light trapping compared with square ones. However, after Cs/O activation, the square GaAs wire array photocathodes showed enhanced spectral response. The integral sensitivity of the square wire array photocathodes was approximately 2.8 times that of the circular arrays.

Possible Sliding Regimes in Twisted Bilayer WTe_{2}.

Phys Rev Lett

December 2024

Department of Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA.

Inspired by the observation of increasingly one-dimensional (1D) behavior with decreasing temperature in small-angle twisted bilayers of WTe_{2} (tWTe_{2}), we theoretically explore the exotic sliding regimes that could be realized in tWTe_{2}. At zero displacement field, while hole-doped tWTe_{2} can be thought of as an array of weakly coupled conventional two-flavor 1D electron gases (1DEGs), the electron-doped regime is equivalent to coupled four-flavor 1DEGs, due to the presence of an additional "valley" degree of freedom. In the decoupled limit, the electron-doped system can thus realize phases with a range of interesting ordering tendencies, including 4k_{F} charge-density-wave and charge-4e superconductivity.

[Navigated and minimally invasive screw osteosynthesis of a talus fracture].

Unfallchirurgie (Heidelb)

January 2025

Klinik für Unfallchirurgie, Technische Universität München, Klinikum rechts der Isar, Ismaninger Straße 22, 81675, München, Deutschland.

Objective Of Surgery: The aim of this surgery is to safeguard the multifragmentary and nondisplaced talus fracture (body and neck) against secondary dislocation in a navigated and minimally invasive manner using screw osteosynthesis.

Indications: Due to the young age of the patient in the presented case and the risk of a possible secondary dislocation, the decision was made in favor of surgical treatment.

Contraindications: Soft tissue swelling, wound infections and allergies to the osteosynthesis material.

Article Synopsis
  • A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulation system using arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) has been developed, integrating key components like photodiode arrays and transimpedance amplifiers.
  • The system features eight output channels, with signals processed for high-speed transmission via Ethernet, resulting in a compact design measuring 200 × 100 × 60 mm.
  • Experimental results indicate the system achieves a wavelength demodulation accuracy of 4.24 pm and can handle demodulation rates exceeding 200 kHz, making it suitable for high-frequency vibration sensing applications.

Tracking head movement inside an MR scanner using electromagnetic coils.

Heliyon

July 2024

Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK.

Prospective motion corrections in brain imaging for MRI are fairly challenging. Monitoring involuntary head movement inside MR scanner is crucial for prospective motion correction. This initial study delves into utilizing simulations to track the head's movements within an MRI scanner, achieved by measuring induced voltage changes from time-varying magnetic field gradients in head-mounted coils.

CuO Nanobelt Array-Based Omnidirectional UV-Visible-NIR Photoelectrochemical Photodetectors.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

December 2024

College of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Resource Utilization, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China.

Photoelectrochemical photodetectors (PEC PDs) are promising in underwater optoelectronic devices because of their low cost, good sensitivity, and self-powered characteristics. However, achieving high-performance omnidirectional visible PEC PDs using seawater as the electrolyte is still challenging, hindering their practical application. This work successfully synthesized CuO nanobelt arrays (NAs) on a linear copper wire via a low-temperature solution method with an annealing process.
