However, nonlinear optical effects under mid-IR excitation are rarely reported due to the lack of suitable nonlinear optical materials. The natural van der Waals heterostructure franckeite, known for its narrow bandgap and stability in air, shows great potential for developing mid-IR nonlinear optical devices. We have experimentally demonstrated that layered franckeite exhibits a broadband wavelength-dependent nonlinear optical response in the mid-IR spectral region. Franckeite nanosheets were prepared using a liquid-phase exfoliation method, and their nonlinear optical response was characterized in the 3000 nm to 5000 nm spectral range. The franckeite nanosheets exhibit broadband wavelength-dependent third-order nonlinearities, with nonlinear absorption and refraction coefficients estimated to be about 10-7 cm/W and 10-11 cm2/W, respectively. Additionally, a passively Q-switched fluoride fiber laser operating around a wavelength of 2800 nm was achieved, delivering nanosecond pulses with a signal-to-noise ratio of 43.6 dB, based on the nonlinear response of franckeite. These findings indicate that layered franckeite possesses broadband nonlinear optical characteristics in the mid-IR region, potentially enabling new possibilities for mid-IR photonic devices.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141929524","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 simulation results demonstrate that both the yield stress and flow stress in the nanotwinned NiCo-based alloys with nano-precipitates decrease as the temperature rises, which come from the fact that the higher temperatures lead to generating the more defects during yielding and the lower dislocation density during plastic deformation. Moreover, the coherent L12 phase exhibits excellent thermal stability, which enables to hinder dislocation motion at elevated temperatures through the wrapping and cutting mechanisms of dislocations. The synergistic effect of nanotwins and nano-precipitates results in the more significant strengthening behaviors in the nanotwinned NiCo-based alloys under high temperature. In addition, the high-temperature mechanical behaviors of nanotwinned NiCo-based alloys with nano-precipitates are sensitive to the size and volume fraction of microstructures.

By numerically calculating the real-space winding number, we obtain topological phase diagrams for different disordered structures. These diagrams suggest that topological phase transitions are different by selecting the specific disordered structure. When quasi-periodic modulation is applied to intracell hopping, the resulting disorder induces topological Anderson insulator (TAI) phase with high winding number (<italic toggle=\"yes\">W</italic> = 2), but the topological states are destroyed as the disorder increases. Conversely, when intercell hoppings are modulated quasi-periodically, both TAI phase and the process of destruction and restoration of topological zero modes can be induced by disorder. These topological states remain robust even under strong disorder conditions. Our work demonstrates that disorder effects do not always disrupt topological states; rather, with a judicious selection of disordered structures, topological properties can be preserved.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142209297","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}

To verify this, we utilize the Gaussian random disorder to simulate charged impurities in a two-node Weyl semimetal model and investigate the impact of charged impurities on magneto-conductivity in Weyl semimetals. We first compute the longitudinal magnetic conductivity and find that it is positive and increases proportionally with the parameter governing the Gaussian distribution of charged impurities, suggesting the presence of negative longitudinal magneto-resistivity. Then we consider both the intra-valley and inter-valley scattering processes to calculate the induced transverse magneto-conductivity in the model. Our findings indicate that both inter-valley and intra-valley scattering processes play important roles in the transverse magneto-conductivity. The locations of Weyl nodes can also be determined by magneto-conductivity measurements. This is possible if the magnetic field strength and the density of charged impurities are known. Alternatively, the measurement of magnetic conductivity may reveal the distribution of charged impurities in a given sample once the locations of the Weyl nodes have been determined. These findings can aid in detecting the structure of a Weyl semimetal sample, enhancing comprehension of magnetotransport in Weyl semimetals and promoting the development of valley electronics.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142209274","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}

Different encoding strategies can significantly influence quantum computer performance. Secondly, we address the need to counteract the inevitable noise that can hinder quantum acceleration. Our primary contribution is the introduction of a novel variational data encoding method, grounded in quantum regression algorithm models. By adapting the learning concept from machine learning, we render data encoding a learnable process. This allowed us to study the role of quantum correlation in data encoding. Through numerical simulations of various regression tasks, we demonstrate the efficacy of our variational data encoding, particularly post-learning from instructional data. Moreover, we delve into the role of quantum correlation in enhancing task performance, especially in noisy environments.
