It is imperative, then, to devise multiple observational tests which can identify and quantify possible violations of this foundational principle. One possible method of probing large-scale anisotropies involves the use of weak gravitational lensing. We revisit this approach in order to analyse the imprint of late-time anisotropic expansion on cosmic shear. We show that the cross-correlation of shear E- and B-modes on large scales can be used to constrain the magnitude (and possibly direction) of anisotropic expansion. We estimate the signal to noise for multipoles 10 ≲ ℓ ≲ 100 that is achievable by a Euclid-like survey. Our findings suggest that such a survey could detect the E-B signal for reasonable values of the late-time anisotropy parameter.","PeriodicalId":15445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143384967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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, leveraging defects to tune the intrinsic electronic structure of REO to enhance electrochemical performance, as well as understanding the underlying physical mechanisms at the atomic level, remained an open challenge. Density functional theory plus U calculations revealed that doping and oxygen vacancies not only regulated Li-ion insertion stability but also reduced the migration energy barriers in CeO2. Doping also decreased the volume change rate of CeO2 during Li-ion insertion. Oxygen vacancies lowered the Li-ion migration energy barrier in CeO2 from 1.516 to 0.903 eV. In comparison, Li-ion migration energy barriers in the La2O3 series structures were significantly lower than those in CeO2. Experimental results confirmed that the Li-ion diffusion coefficient of La2O3 was markedly higher than that of CeO2. Upon Li-ion insertion, the bandgap of CeO2 decreased from 2.18 to 1.60 eV, and density of states analysis revealed the profound impact of lithiation on the electronic structure. This comprehensive study enhances the understanding of the application potential of these typical rare-earth oxide materials in LIBs.","PeriodicalId":8094,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics Letters","volume":"162 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143385173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

This review focuses on the working principles, constructions, and applications of BPDs. First, the fundamental working principles of BPDs are analyzed based on device structures, including photoconductors, photodiodes, phototransistors, photoelectrochemical photodetectors, and others. Second, the constructions of BPDs based on different materials (2D materials, organic semiconductors, perovskites, III–V compounds, oxides, and selenides) are reviewed, and their optoelectronic performances are discussed. Third, various applications of BPDs are summarized, including optical communication, logic gate, and imaging. Finally, the challenges and prospects are delivered for developing the state-of-the-art BPDs.

Apparent horizon finders based on different techniques have been developed. In this paper, we revisit the apparent horizon finding problem in numerical relativity using multigrid-based algorithms. We formulate the nonlinear elliptic apparent horizon equation as a linear Poisson-type equation with a nonlinear source, and solve it using a multigrid algorithm with Gauss–Seidel line relaxation. A fourth order compact finite difference scheme in spherical coordinates is derived and employed to reduce the complexity of the line relaxation operator to a tri-diagonal matrix inversion. The multigrid-based apparent horizon finder developed in this work is capable of locating apparent horizons in generic spatial hypersurfaces without any symmetries. The finder is tested with both analytic data, such as Brill–Lindquist multiple black hole data, and numerical data, including off-centered Kerr–Schild data and dynamical inspiraling binary black hole data. The obtained results are compared with those generated by the current fastest finder AHFinderDirect (Thornburg 2003 Class. Quantum Grav.21 743), which is the default finder in the open source code Einstein Toolkit. Our finder performs comparatively in terms of accuracy, and starts to outperform AHFinderDirect at high angular resolutions ( ) in terms of speed. Our finder is also more flexible to initial guess, as opposed to the Newton’s method used in AHFinderDirect. This suggests that the multigrid algorithm provides an alternative option for studying apparent horizons, especially when high resolutions are needed.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143385201","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}

Many Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) host multiple stellar populations, challenging the traditional view that GCs are single-population systems. It has been suggested that second-generation stars could form in a disk from gas lost by first-generation stars or from external accreted gas. Understanding how these multiple stellar populations evolve under a time-varying Galactic tidal field is crucial for studying internal mixing, the rotational properties, and mass loss of GCs over cosmological timescales.<i>Aims<i/>. We investigated how the introduction of a second stellar generation affects mass loss’ internal mixing, and rotational properties of GCs in a time-varying Galactic tidal field and different orbital configurations.<i>Methods<i/>. We conducted direct <i>N<i/>-body simulations of GCs on three types of orbits derived from the observed Milky Way GCs using state-of-the-art stellar evolution prescriptions. We evolved the clusters for 8 Gyr in the time-varying Galactic potential of the IllustrisTNG-100 cosmological simulation. After 2 Gyr, we introduced a second stellar generation, comprising 5% of the initial mass of the first generation, as a flattened disk of stars. For comparison, we ran control simulations using a static Galactic potential and isolated clusters.<i>Results<i/>. We present here the mass loss, structural evolution, and kinematic properties of GCs with two stellar generations, focusing on tidal mass’ half-mass radii, velocity distributions, and angular momentum. We also examine the transition of the second generation from a flattened disk to a spherical shape.<i>Conclusions<i/>. Our results show that the mass loss of GCs depends primarily on their orbital parameters, with tighter orbits leading to higher mass loss. The growth of the Galaxy led to tighter orbits’ implying that the GCs lost much less mass than if the Galaxy had always had its current mass. The initially flattened second-generation disk became nearly spherical within one relaxation time. However, whether its distinct rotational signature was retained depends on the orbit: for the long radial orbit, it vanished quickly; for the tube orbit' it lasted several billion years for the circular orbit' rotation persisted until the present day.","PeriodicalId":8571,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143385319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

We employed some image manipulation methods to enhance small- and large-scale features. Surface brightness profiles out to 2&lt;i&gt;R&lt;i/&gt;&lt;sub&gt;200&lt;sub/&gt; were constructed to quantify the features. We acquired the gas temperature, metallicity, and normalization per area profiles out to &lt;i&gt;R&lt;i/&gt;&lt;sub&gt;200&lt;sub/&gt;. We compared our results with previous Centaurus studies, cluster outskirts measurements, and simulations. Comprehensive sky background analysis was done across the field of view in particular to assess the variation of the eROSITA Bubble emission that partially contaminates the field.&lt;i&gt;Results.&lt;i/&gt; The processed X-ray images show the known sloshing-induced structures in the core, such as the cool plume, cold fronts, and ram pressure-stripped gas. The spectra in the core (&lt;i&gt;r&lt;i/&gt; ≤ 11 kpc) are better described with a two-temperature (2T) model than an isothermal model. With this 2T analysis, we measured a lower temperature from the cooler component (∼1.0 keV) and a higher metallicity (∼1.6 &lt;i&gt;Z&lt;i/&gt;&lt;sub&gt;⊙&lt;sub/&gt;), signifying an iron bias. In the intermediate radial range, the temperature peaks at ∼3.6 keV, and we observed prominent surface brightness and normalization per area excesses in the eastern sector (Cen 45 location). Temperature enhancements near the location of Cen 45 imply that the gas is shock-heated due to the interaction with Cen 30. We reveal that the eastern excess emission extends even further out, reaching &lt;i&gt;R&lt;i/&gt;&lt;sub&gt;500&lt;sub/&gt;. The peak excess of normalization is located at ∼23′ from the center (8′ behind the center of Cen 45) with a 45% and 7.7&lt;i&gt;σ&lt;i/&gt; above the full azimuthal value. This might be the tail or ram pressure-stripped gas from Cen 45. There is a temperature decrease of a factor of about two to three from the peak to the outermost bin at &lt;i&gt;R&lt;i/&gt;&lt;sub&gt;500&lt;sub/&gt; − &lt;i&gt;R&lt;i/&gt;&lt;sub&gt;200&lt;sub/&gt;.

We detect significant surface brightness emission to the sky background level out to &lt;i&gt;R&lt;i/&gt;&lt;sub&gt;200&lt;sub/&gt; with a 3.5&lt;i&gt;σ&lt;i/&gt;, followed by 2.9&lt;i&gt;σ&lt;i/&gt; at 1.1&lt;i&gt;R&lt;i/&gt;&lt;s","PeriodicalId":8571,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143385379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}
