So far, common self-powered UV PDs are mainly based on metal-semiconductor hetero-structures or p–n heterojunctions, where the limited intrinsic built-in electric field restricts further enhancement of the photoresponsivity. In this work, an extremely low-voltage field-effect UV PD is proposed using a gate-drain shorted amorphous IGZO (a-IGZO) thin film transistor (TFT) architecture. A combined investigation of the experimental measurements and technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulations suggests that the reverse current (<italic toggle=\"yes\">I</italic><sub>R</sub>) of field-effect diode (FED) is highly related with the threshold voltage (<italic toggle=\"yes\">V</italic><sub>th</sub>) of the parental TFT, implying an enhancement-mode TFT is preferable to fabricate the field-effect UV PD with low dark current. Driven by a low bias of −0.1 V, decent UV response has been realized including large UV/visible (<italic toggle=\"yes\">R</italic><sub>300</sub>/<italic toggle=\"yes\">R</italic><sub>550</sub>) rejection ratio (1.9 × 10<sup>3</sup>), low dark current (1.15 × 10<sup>−12</sup> A) as well as high photo-to-dark current ratio (PDCR, ∼ 10<sup>3</sup>) and responsivity (1.89 A/W). This field-effect photodiode provides a new platform to construct UV PDs with well-balanced photoresponse performance at a low bias, which is attractive for designs of large-scale smart sensor networks with high energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":10344,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics Letters","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141574781","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}

It is found that when the loss rates of the two cavities are different, superradiant transitions may not occur at the same time in the two cavities. A first-order phase transition is observed between the states with only one cavity in superradiance and both in superradiance. In the case that both cavities are superradiant, a net photon current is observed flowing from the cavity with small decay rate to the one with large decay rate. The photon current shows a non-monotonic dependence on the loss rate difference, owing to the competition of photon number difference and cavity field phase difference.

Recently, leveraging neural networks to parameterize the Kohn–Sham DFT Hamiltonian has emerged as a promising avenue for accelerating electronic structure computations. Despite advancements, challenges such as the necessity for computing extensive DFT training data to explore each new system and the complexity of establishing accurate machine learning models for multi-elemental materials still exist. Addressing these hurdles, this study introduces a universal electronic Hamiltonian model trained on Hamiltonian matrices obtained from first-principles DFT calculations of nearly all crystal structures on the Materials Project. We demonstrate its generality in predicting electronic structures across the whole periodic table, including complex multi-elemental systems, solid-state electrolytes, Moiré twisted bilayer heterostructure, and metal-organic frameworks. Moreover, we utilize the universal model to conduct high-throughput calculations of electronic structures for crystals in GNoME datasets, identifying 3940 crystals with direct band gaps and 5109 crystals with flat bands. By offering a reliable efficient framework for computing electronic properties, this universal Hamiltonian model lays the groundwork for advancements in diverse fields, such as easily providing a huge data set of electronic structures and also making the materials design across the whole periodic table possible.","PeriodicalId":10344,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics Letters","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141503316","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}

The density functional theory calculations reveal that both dz2 and dx2–y2 orbitals are active, which suggests a minimal two-orbital model to capture the low-energy physics of this system. In this work, we study a bilayer two-orbital t–J model within multiband Gutzwiller approximation, and discuss the magnetism as well as the superconductivity over a wide range of the hole doping. Owing to the inter-orbital super-exchange process between dz2 and dx2–y2 orbitals, the induced ferromagnetic coupling within layers competes with the conventional antiferromagnetic coupling, and leads to complicated hole doping dependence for the magnetic properties in the system. With increasing hole doping, the system transfers to A-type antiferromagnetic state from the starting G-type antiferromagnetic (G-AFM) state. We also find the inter-layer superconducting pairing of dx2–y2 orbitals dominates due to the large hopping parameter of dz2 along the vertical inter-layer bonds and significant Hund’s coupling between dz2 and dx2–y2 orbitals. Meanwhile, the G-AFM state and superconductivity state can coexist in the low hole doping regime. To take account of the pressure, we also analyze the impacts of inter-layer hopping amplitude on the system properties.","PeriodicalId":10344,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics Letters","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141062475","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}

Previous studies on the Maxwell demon have primarily focused on thermodynamics, taking into account quantum correlations. Here we consider from another perspective and ask whether quantum non-locality correlations can be simulated by performing work. The Maxwell demon-assisted Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering is thus proposed, which implies a new type of loophole. The application of Landauer’s erasure principle suggests that the only way to close this loophole during a steering task is by continuously monitoring the heat fluctuation of the local environment by the participant. We construct a quantum circuit model of Maxwell demon-assisted EPR steering, which can be demonstrated by current programmable quantum processors, such as superconducting quantum computers. Based on this quantum circuit model, we obtain a quantitative formula describing the relationship between energy dissipation due to the work of the demon and quantum non-locality correlation.
