In this study, we systematically investigate the magnetism, structural phase transition and electronic properties of MTO under high pressure through first-principles calculations. Both R3 and P21/n phases of MTO are antiferromagnetic at zero temperature. The R3 phase transforms to the P21/n phase at 7.58 GPa, accompanied by a considerable volume collapse of about 6.47%. Employing the accurate method that combines DFT+U and G0W0, the calculated band gap of R3 phase at zero pressure is very close to the experimental values, while that of the P21/n phase is significantly overestimated. The main reason for this difference is that the experimental study incorrectly used the Kubelka-Munk plot for the indirect band gap to obtain the band gap of the P21/n phase instead of the Kubelka-Munk plot for the direct band gap. Furthermore, our study reveals that the transition from the R3 phase to the P21/n phase is accompanied by a slight reduction in the band gap.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140695797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Centralized systems excel in precise control over individual behavior within a group, ensuring high accuracy and controllability in task execution. Nevertheless, their sensitivity to group size may limit adaptability to diverse tasks. In contrast, decentralized systems empower individuals with autonomous decision-making, enhancing adaptability and system robustness. Yet, this flexibility comes at the cost of reduced accuracy and efficiency in task execution. In this work, we present a unique method for regulating the centralized dynamic behavior of self-organizing clusters based on environmental interactions. Within this environment-coupled robot system, each robot possesses similar dynamic characteristics, and their internal programs are entirely identical. However, their behaviors can be guided by the centralized control of the environment, facilitating the accomplishment of diverse cluster tasks. This approach aims to balance the accuracy and flexibility of centralized control with the robustness and task adaptability of decentralized control. The proactive regulation of dynamic behavioral characteristics in active matter groups, demonstrated in this work through environmental interactions, holds the potential to introduce a novel technological approach and provide experimental references for studying the dynamic behavior control of large-scale artificial active matter systems.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140712237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

In this paper, a dynamic event-triggered mechanism (DETM) is employed to select useful data instead of a static event-triggered mechanism. By constructing a meaningful LyapunovKrasovskii functional (LKF), a delay-dependent criterion is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) for ensuring the global asymptotic stability of the augmented system.

For further improvement of the synchronization-based satellite time and frequency references, this paper proposes a geosynchronous (GEO) satellite virtual clock concept based on ground–satellite synchronization and presents a beacon transponder structure for its implementation (scheduled for launch in 2025), which does not require atomic clocks to be mounted on the satellite. Its high performance relies only on minor modifications to the existing transponder structure of GEO satellites. We carefully modeled the carrier phase link and analyzed the factors causing link asymmetry within the special relativity. Considering that the performance of such synchronization-based satellite clocks is primarily limited by the link’s random phase noise, which cannot be adequately modeled, we designed a closed-loop experiment based on commercial GEO satellites for pre-evaluation. This experiment was aimed at extracting the zero-means random part of the ground-satellite Ku-band carrier phase via a feedback loop. Ultimately, we obtained a 1σ value of 0.633 ps (two-way link), following the Gaussian distribution. From this result, we conclude that the proposed real-time Einstein-synchronization-defined satellite virtual clock can achieve picosecond-level replication of onboard time and frequency.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140712154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The transition from canted ferrimagnetic to paramagnetic state in GdCr6Ge6, TbCr6Ge6, DyCr6Ge6, HoCr6Ge6, ErCr6Ge6, and TmCr6Ge6 occurs at 11.3 K, 10.8 K, 4.3 K, 2.5 K, 3.3 K, and below 2 K, respectively, due to R-R interactions within the compounds. Magnetization measurements reveal highly anisotropic magnetism with canted magnetic moments in these compounds. In the electrical transport, both negative and positive magnetoresistance at different magnetic field and temperature have been observed due to the competition between different scattering mechanisms.

Further analysis implies that the occupations of Mn ions at Sb/Bi site MnSb/Bi and Mn site MnMn have a strong influence on the magnetic ground state of these systems.
