Antiferromagnets offer a promising platform for seeking such approaches due to their exceptional features: low-power consumption and possible high integration density are desirable for information storage and processing or applications in unconventional computing. Among antiferromagnets, CuMnAs stands out for atomic-level scalable magnetic textures, analogue multilevel storage capability, and the magnetic state's control by a single electrical or femtosecond laser pulse. Using a pair of excitation laser pulses, this work examines functionalities of CuMnAs favorable for information processing, readily incorporating two principles of distinct characteristic timescales. Laser-induced transient heat dynamics at sub-nanosecond times represents the short-term memory and causes resistance switching due to quenching into a magnetically fragmented state. This quench switching, detectable electrically from ultrashort times to hours after writing, reminisces the long-term memory. The versatility of the principles' combination is demonstrated by antiferromagnetic in-memory operations. Temporal latency coding is utilized to encode data from a grayscale image into sub-nanosecond pulse delays. Applying input laser pulses of distinct amplitudes then allows for determining their relative order at 100-ps timescales.

The magnetoelectric (ME) antenna, a novel mechanical antenna, provides a promising solution for low-frequency EM wave communication, overcoming the limitations of conventional designs in terms of size and efficiency. To address the low transmission rate in low-frequency EM wave communication, this paper proposes a multi-key tunable antenna array based on an ME cantilever beam design. Each antenna array element consists of Metglas/0.7Pb(Mg<sub>1/3</sub>Nb<sub>2/3</sub>)O3–0.3PbTiO<sub>3</sub> (PMN-PT) ME composite. Simulations identified a structure that significantly lowers the resonant frequency, allowing the ME antenna array to operate within the ultra-low frequency (ULF, 300 Hz-3000 Hz) band. Furthermore, the resonant frequency can be tuned over a range of 500 Hz, enabling multi-frequency-shift keying (MFSK) communication. Using quaternary FSK (4FSK) modulation, a 40 baud color image transmission is successfully demonstrated in a 5 S m<sup>−1</sup> saline environment. Compared to binary FSK (2FSK) at the same baud rate, the transmission speed is increased by 100%. This approach achieves both low attenuation and high transmission rates, offering a promising new direction for ocean communications.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"131 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144087936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By slightly tuning the injected dc current, this transition regime, which is highly efficient at synchronization, evolves into a dynamic state with no ability to synchronize.

Herein, a graphene/h-BN/ReS<sub>2</sub> tunneling heterostructure is designed to realize a high-performance polarization photodetector in the Fowler−Nordheim tunneling (FNT) regime. Specifically, the photodetector achieves a high photocurrent signal-to-noise ratio of ≈10<sup>3</sup> by suppressing the tunneling dark current with the hBN tunneling layer. The h-BN also creates a strong electric field, which accelerates the photogenerated carriers and achieves a response time of ≈70 µs. Such a high signal-to-noise ratio and short response time are over two orders of magnitude stronger and shorter than those of field-effect transistor-type ReS<sub>2</sub> photodetectors. Moreover, in the FNT regime, the contribution of an anisotropic tunneling barrier and effective hole mass can effectively enhance the photocurrent dichroic ratio to exceed the intrinsic absorption dichroic ratio of 1.61, achieving the maximal value of 1.85. The enhancement mechanism is well understood by the consistent experimental and theoretical results.
