The broad adoption of accelerators was enabled by substantial advancements in beam manipulation techniques, which encompass methods for generating and controlling particle beams to optimize them for specific applications. Most of these manipulations rely on controlling the beam’s correlation in its phase space. While linear control and the correction of low-order nonlinearities have propelled particle accelerators to their current state, the exploration of more advanced control methods may provide new opportunities to achieve unprecedented beam qualities and conditions. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for control over higher-order nonlinearities. A recently developed method utilizing transverse wigglers shows potential in addressing such demands. Active research is also ongoing on diverse applications of the transverse wiggler-based method in various accelerator fields. This paper discusses methods for controlling highly nonlinear correlations and their applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100007,"journal":{"name":"AAPPS Bulletin","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s43673-025-00147-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143676402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the non-linear current response in our case can occur in magnetic Weyl semimetals where time-reversal symmetry, instead of inversion symmetry, is broken. The occurrence of this phenomenon relies on the special coupling between Weyl electrons and magnetic fluctuations induced by magnetic resonance.

However, their real-world implementation is hindered by the serious voltage decay, which results in a continuous decrease in energy density. The understanding on voltage decay still remains a mystery due to the complicated hybrid cationic-anionic redox and the serious surface-interface reactions in LRMOs. Moreover, some of the mechanisms are occasionally contradictory, indicating that the origin of voltage decay is still unclear. As a result, none of the innovative strategies proposed on the basis of mechanisms has effectively alleviated the problem of voltage decay, and voltage decay becomes a long-term distress of LRMOs. Therefore, it is particularly crucial to sort out the mutual relation of various mechanisms, which helps to go back to the source of voltage decay. In this review, we summarize the current mechanisms of voltage decay as structural evolution and oxygen chemistry, and attempt to trace the origin of voltage decay for LRMOs. In addition, we discuss how current researches address the issue with generalized guidance in designing appropriate strategies based on mechanisms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100007,"journal":{"name":"AAPPS Bulletin","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s43673-024-00138-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142694729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
