However, during the crystal growth process, the uneven heating distribution induces a strong thermal convection effect in the melt, which facilitates the doping of the crystal with oxygen impurities and affects the quality of the produced crystals. With the implementation of the cusp magnetic field method, the melt convection can be effectively suppressed. Two symmetrically placed superconducting coils generate a cusp magnetic field by passing currents in opposite directions. In this work, we selected a 42-inch crucible to prepare a single crystal silicon with a diameter of 400 mm. We systematically investigated the convective inhibition effect of the magnetic field by comparing the flow and temperature fields of the melt with and without the applied cusp magnetic field. To achieve a radial magnetic flux density (B<sub>r</sub>) greater than 1000 G at the crucible wall, the parameters of the two superconducting coils were optimized. Based on the optimization results, we fabricated a YBCO high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet with a coil inner radius of 900 mm and a coil spacing of 350 mm. The cooling structure and the tests were presented, which required 22 days to lower the coil’s temperature to 10.6 K. Finally, B<sub>r</sub> at the crucible wall was measured, yielding a good consistency with the simulated values.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20159,"journal":{"name":"Physica C-superconductivity and Its Applications","volume":"634 ","pages":"Article 1354721"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144194765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we measure separate Pluto and Charon thermal light curves over 15–25.5 μm with JWST and retrieve the thermophysical and emissivity properties of the different terrains on each. We also detect and measure the thermal emission of Pluto’s haze. The observed fluxes indicate that Pluto’s haze is composed of Titan-like organic particles as well as hydrocarbon and nitrile ices and demonstrate that the haze largely controls Pluto’s atmospheric balance.

Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is almost the standard tool for determining optical constants and thin-film thicknesses, but inverse ellipsometry data analysis traditionally requires prior knowledge about sample materials and involves tedious and time-consuming human-expert intervention, which is widely recognized as a major challenge. Existing deep-learning-based methods allow fast analysis but suffer from poor generalization and lack of physically plausible results. Here, a Smart Ellipsometry Network (SENet) is reported that adopts physics-enhanced learning-based inference for the automated determination of optical constants without prior knowledge or expert intervention. Trained with artificially generated materials that have no connection or resemblance to real-world samples, SENet achieves excellent generalization to realistic thin-film samples in various unseen scenarios, such as nonideal structures, varied measurement conditions, and different substrates. Notably, SENet ensures that predicted optical constants always fulfill the Kramers–Kronig (KK) relations. Moreover, SENet enables highly efficient implementation and yields reliable results in ≈30 s using an ordinary laptop without graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration. Overall, the developed method opens a new avenue for automated, accurate, and fast determination of material optical constants in a single-click manner.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, achieving flexible tunability and asymmetry in multi-cavity systems remains a challenge. In this work, an innovative real-momentum topological dual-optical microcavity system is proposed with two degenerated zero modes. Quite different from the proposed multi-microcavity systems, these two modes exhibit the same phase and are represented as the even mode in one cavity under both dual-cavity coupling and time-reversal symmetry (<i>T</i>-symmetry) breaking, while in the other cavity they display opposite phases and are characterized as the odd modes, which results in only one cavity surviving after superposition. By dynamically manipulating the orientation of the external magnetic field, electric field localization can be selectively activated in a designated microcavity. Both simulations and experimental measurements verify the symmetry of our model. As a promising application, an asymmetric radiation antenna is further proposed, which paves a new avenue for flexible topological PhC devices.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the properties of hyperspectral images (HSIs), we develop a Selective Multi-head Spatial Attention (SMSA) that effectively focuses on the detail differences of HSIs in different bands and improves the reconstruction quality. In addition, by simulating the physical process of HSIs being modulated by a mask, we explore the guiding capability of the mask to direct the attention module to focus on high-fidelity and high-information regions.

In this paper, we propose an innovative design of modular acoustic silencers by incorporating topology optimization techniques with origami-inspired concepts. Specifically, the internal fillers in the silencer sub-chambers are topologically optimized to target specific frequencies for effective sound attenuation, aiming to achieve over 10 dB attenuation across a broad frequency range from 600 Hz to 1800 Hz. Unlike conventional methods that only alter chamber sizes, our approach utilizes advanced topology optimization tools to shape the internal fillers, enabling precise tuning of the effective frequency range without modifying the external size of the silencer. This ensures modular stacking and acoustic programmability. By cascading multiple topologically optimized modules, we can further achieve broadband sound attenuation over a much wider frequency band. The transmission loss behavior can also be strategically adjusted through the folding mechanism. As a proof-of-concept, we fabricate modular origami silencer prototypes with internal fillers by using 3D-printing technology. Experiments are conducted to validate our simulations and the topology optimization process, demonstrating the effectiveness of broadband sound attenuation through cascading multiple chambers, and the distinctive adjustability offered by folding.
