Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are known to be unpredictable in time and position. A few (observationally) exceptional events have been observed, such as GRB 221009A, which stands out for having a fluence and peak flux orders of magnitude higher than what has been measured so far.<i>Aims<i/>. Analysing the observed fluence, peak flux, or duration distributions typically requires one to assume some scenarios, and the consistency of the observed data with the predictions turns out to be an important model diagnostic. However, it is also of interest to model these distributions using general statistical properties that do not rely on specific model assumptions, allowing one to derive inferences only based on the consistency of the observed distributions with the hypothesis of one single population of events that generate them.<i>Methods<i/>. We obtained fluences, peak fluxes, and durations from the catalogues of GRBs observed by the CGRO-BATSE and Fermi-GBM instruments. We selected the extreme values in slots of equal duration and modelled their distributions using the generalised extreme value (GEV) formalism. The GEV distribution is a limit distribution naturally arising when the number of observations is large and is essentially independent of the phenomena producing the observed data.<i>Results<i/>. The distributions of extreme values for fluences, peak fluxes, and durations are consistent with being extracted from a single population of events, but the fluence and peak flux recorded for GRB 221009A constitute a striking exception. The probability of observing such an event, assuming it is a cosmological GRB, is low, with a median value of about one event per millennium for the fluence and about one event per century for the peak flux.","PeriodicalId":8571,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144995572","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, their integration into commercial technologies continues to face critical challenges, most notably, the enhancement of photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) at the material level and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) at the device level. Although recent advances in colloidal synthesis and surface engineering have led to significant improvements in PLQY, effectively transferring these enhancements to achieve high EQE in QLEDs remains a major hurdle due to limitations in charge injection, charge balance, and interfacial losses. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the progress in InP QD development, focusing on key advancements in colloidal synthesis, core/shell engineering, charge transport layers, interfacial modification, and carrier dynamics. The historical evolution of InP QDs from their initial synthesis in 1989 to their growing role in QLEDs post‐2011 is examined in detail, along with persistent issues such as parasitic emission, charge imbalance, and device instability. Finally, the review explores emerging applications in flexible electronics, wearable displays, a nd high‐resolution LED arrays, and suggests future research directions aimed at enhancing efficiency, stability, and scalability for commercial deployment.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145002819","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}

As for the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) ternary alloys, prominent phonon-mediated intervalley scattering is expected due to the piezo-effect and lattice deformation. In our work, we demonstrate the dissimilar lifetime of the valley depolarization and intervalley scattering of the interlayer excitons in the TMDC ternary-based vdWHSs, where the intervalley scattering time of ∼20 ns in the 1L-WSSe/1L-WSe₂ vdWHS is significantly greater than the valley depolarization lifetime of ∼2 ns. Phonon-mediated pathways are crucial for intervalley scattering in the presence of a magnetic field. The intervalley scattering can be enhanced by interlayer hopping and suppressed by encapsulation. The encapsulation-suppressed intervalley scattering enables the exciton valley Hall effect in the presence of a pseudomagnetic field in the 1L-WS₂/1L-WSSe/1L-WSe₂ vdWHS. Our results provide deeper insights into the valley depolarization dynamics in TMDC ternary-based vdWHSs for developing valleytronic devices.","PeriodicalId":23,"journal":{"name":"ACS Photonics","volume":"304 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145007187","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}

Due to the large frequency difference between microwave and optical ranges, the transduction needs to be done via intermediate bosonic modes or nonlinear processes. Regarding the transduction mediated by magnons, previous studies have so far utilized ferromagnetic magnons in ferromagnets. Here, we formulate a theory for the microwave-to-optical quantum transduction mediated by antiferromagnetic magnons in antiferromagnets. We derive analytical expressions for the transduction efficiency in the cases with and without an optical cavity, where a microwave cavity is used in both cases. In contrast to the case of the quantum transduction using ferromagnets, we find that the quantum transduction can occur even in the absence of an external static magnetic field. We also find that, in the case with an optical cavity the transduction efficiency takes a peak structure with respect to the sample thickness, indicating that there exists an optimal thickness, whereas in the case without an optical cavity the transduction efficiency is a monotonically increasing function of the sample thickness. Our study opens up a way for possible applications of antiferromagnetic materials in future quantum interconnects.","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145007291","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}

By suspending the 2D channels and inducing mechanical resonance modes in the 2D semiconducting membranes, they form 2D vibrating-channel-transistor (VCT) resonators with ultralow power consumption. Yet on-chip electronic detection and tuning of multimode resonances in these 2D VCT resonators have been challenging due to the ultrasmall vibration amplitudes and rich multimode dynamics at radio frequencies (RF). Here, we leverage the atomic-scale thickness, ultrahigh strain limit, as well as strain-engineering effects on band structure and carrier mobility of 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) sheets, and experimentally demonstrate multimode 2D MoS2 VCT resonators. Using all-electronic signal transduction, we show single-, bi-, and tri-layer MoS2 VCT resonators with up to the 14th resonance mode, thanks to the ultra-efficient electromechanical transduction enabled by internal multiphysics coupling. Measured gate dependency of multimode resonances exhibits frequency tuning ranges of Δf/f0 up to 326%.
