For nanowires with a diameter smaller than 20 nm, we highlight the importance of quantum size effects in heat capacity calculations, using dispersion relations derived from the modified frequency equation for the elasticity of rod. The thermal conductivities of nanowires with diameters of 37, 56, and 115 nm are predicted using the FuchsSondheimer model and Soffer’s specular parameter. Notably, the roughness parameters are chosen to reflect the technological characteristics of the real surfaces. Our findings reveal that surface texture plays a significant role in thermal conductivity, particularly in the realm of ballistic heat transfer within nanowires.

Recent research shows that Rydberg-state excitation with ultrashort laser pulses can be investigated and manipulated with the state-of-the-art few-cycle pulses. In this work, we found theoretically that the Rydberg state excitation probability is more efficient with short laser pulse, and modulated by varying the laser intensities. We uncover a new facet of the excitation dynamics: the launching of electron wave packet through strong-field ionization, the reentry of the electron into the atomic potential, and the crucial step that the electron makes a U-turn leading to twin captures into Rydberg orbitals. By tuning the laser intensity, we show the excitation of Rydberg state can be coherently controlled in sub-optical-cycle time scale. Our work paves the way toward ultrafast control and coherent manipulation of Rydberg states, thus benefits Rydberg-state-based quantum technology.","PeriodicalId":10344,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics Letters","volume":"17 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139251627","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}

Based on the electronic structure given from the density functional theory calculations, we propose an effective bi-layer model Hamiltonian including both $3d_{z^{2}}$ and $3d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ orbital electrons of the nickel cations. The main feature of the model is that the $% 3d_{z^{2}}$ electrons form inter-layer $sigma$-bonding and anti-bonding bands via the apical oxygen anions between the two layers, while the $% 3d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ electrons hybridize with the $3d_{z^{2}}$ electrons within each NiO$_2$ plane. The chemical potential difference of these two orbital electrons ensures that the $3d_{z^{2}}$ orbitals are close to half-filling and the $3d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ orbitals are near quarter-filling. The strong on-site Hubbard repulsion of the $3d_{z^{2}}$ orbital electrons gives rise to an effective inter-layer antiferromagnetic spin super-exchange $J$. Applying pressure can self-dope holes on the $3d_{z^{2}}$ orbitals with the same amount of electrons doped on the $3d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ orbitals. By performing numerical density-matrix renormalization group calculations on a minimum setup and focusing on the limit of large $J$ and small doping of $% 3d_{z^{2}}$ orbitals, we find the superconducting instability on both the $% 3d_{z^{2}}$ and $3d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ orbitals by calculating the equal-time spin singlet pair-pair correlation function.

In this study, we conducted experiments to investigate the characteristics of random cell motion during migration. By observing cell motion trajectories under a microscope, we employed nonlinear dynamics method to construct a speed- acceleration phase diagram. Our analysis revealed the presence of a fixed point in this phase diagram, which suggests that migrating cells possess a stable state. Cells that deviate from this stable state display a tendency to return to it, following the streamline trends of an attractor structure in the phase diagram. We derived a set of characteristic values describing cell motion, encompassing inherent speed, inherent acceleration, characteristic time for speed change, and characteristic time for acceleration change. We developed a differential equation model based on experimental data and conducted numerical calculations. The computational results align with the findings obtained from experimental results. Our research suggests that the asymmetrical characteristics observed in cell motion near an inherent speed primarily arise from the characteristics of inherent acceleration of cells.","PeriodicalId":10344,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics Letters","volume":"107 24","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135137983","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 extension of superconductivity in other nickelates in a broader family is also essential. Here, we report the experimental observation of superconducting signature in trilayer nickelate La4Ni3O10 under high pressures. By using a modified sol-gel method and post-annealing treatment under high oxygen pressure, we successfully obtained polycrystalline La4Ni3O10 samples with different transport behaviors at ambient pressure. Then we performed high-pressure electrical resistance measurements on these samples in a diamond-anvil-cell (DAC) apparatus. Surprisingly, the signature of possible superconducting transition with a maximum transition temperature (T c) of about 20 K under high pressures is observed, as evidenced by a clear drop of resistance and the suppression of resistance drops under magnetic fields. Although the resistance drop is sample-dependent and relatively small, it appears in all of our measured samples. We argue that the observed superconducting signal is most likely to originate from the main phase of La4Ni3O10. Our findings will motivate the exploration of superconductivity in a broader family of nickelates and shed light on the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of high-T c superconductivity in nickelates.","PeriodicalId":10344,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics Letters","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139282199","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}

In the low density regime, the system stays in an absorbing state, in which each dimer rotates independently subject to the applied torque. While in the high density regime, a fraction of the dimers become rotationally jammed into local clusters, and the system exhibits microphase-separation like two-phase morphologies. For high enough densities, the system becomes completely jammed in both rotational and translational degrees of freedom. Such a simple system is found to exhibit rich and multiscale disordered hyperuniformities among the above phases: the absorbing state shows a critical hyperuniformity of the strongest class and subcritically preserves the vanishing density-fluctuation scaling up to some length scale; the locally-jammed state shows a two-phase hyperuniformity conversely beyond some length scale with respect to the phase cluster sizes; the totally jammed state appears to be a monomer crystal, but intrinsically loses large-scale hyperuniformity. These results are inspiring for designing novel phase-separation and disordered hyperuniform systems through dynamical organization.","PeriodicalId":10344,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics Letters","volume":"54 S267","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135341644","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}
