The potential, electric field, particle density, and average electron temperature are calculated. The discharge space consists of the cathode sheath region near the cathode electrode and the negative glow (NG) region in the central region of the discharge cell. A high electric field of thousands of V/cm and a low electric field of tens of V/cm appear in the cathode sheath region and NG region, respectively. The average electron temperature in the cathode sheath region is tens of eV, which is significantly higher than that in the NG region. Electrons and H3+ are the main negative particles and positive ions, whose peaks appear in the NG region, and the peak magnitude is on the order of 1010 cm−3. H atom is the highest-density neutral particle other than H2 with a peak density of 1013 cm−3. The reaction kinetics of the generation and consumption of different particles are explored. The results show that each reaction generates certain particles while consuming other particles, ultimately achieving a dynamic equilibrium in the density of various particles. The electrons mainly originate from the ground state ionization between electron and H2 (e+H2 → e+H2++e) and are consumed by the dissociative attachment (e+H2 → H−+H). The charge transfer collision reaction (H2++H2 → H3++H) is the only reaction that produces H3+ ions. Different reactions to the consumption of H3+ ions do not differ significantly. The generation and consumption of H mainly originate from the electron collision dissociation reaction (e+H2 → e+H+H) and the ionization reaction (e+H→H++2e).","PeriodicalId":20067,"journal":{"name":"Physica Scripta","volume":"2013 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142199556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

However, current systems have complex structures and face the design challenge of combining compact, short-focus design with wide field of view and high angular resolution. In this paper, we propose a short-focus near-eye optical system with wide field of view and high angular resolution, referred to as a meta-eyepiece, by patterning a single-layer polarization-insensitive metasurface on a substrate. The metasurface, featuring a quasi-periodic nanopillar arrangement, enables precise phase modulation and enhances design flexibility. The desired metaform phase can be obtained by modeling the light propagation of the meta-eyepiece to determine key design parameters, utilizing metaform phase polynomials, customizing the objective merit function and employing advanced optimization algorithms. Our system achieves a short focal length of approximately 22 mm with an 80° field of view, offering compactness superior to conventional virtual reality optics and a minimum resolvable angle less than 1.25 arcminutes, ensuring high angular resolution. It also exhibits excellent imaging performance with full-field modulation transfer function values exceeding 0.5 at 62.5 lp/mm. Although the initial system utilizes ray optics, the scaled version is validated for its feasibility and scalability through full-wave simulations. Our meta-eyepiece structure and design method show the potential of metasurfaces for applications in virtual reality, offering valuable support for technological development in this field.","PeriodicalId":20067,"journal":{"name":"Physica Scripta","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

Over the years, many topological structures have been synthesized using a diverse array of techniques. Due to their price and more affordable synthesis, carbon structures are of great interest to the technological industry. Since nanostructures can present different physical characteristics, this paper presents those differences using Möbius carbon nanobelt topology obtained in the appendix of the Nature paper: Synthesis of a Möbius carbon nanobelt Segawa Y, Watanabe T, Yamanoue K, Kuwayama M, Watanabe K, Pirillo J, Hijikata Y and Itami K (2022 Nature Synthesis1 535–541). This investigation using density functional theory (DFT) calculations shows that boron nitride (BN[7,7]), and silicon carbide (SiC[7,7]) nanobelts possess structural stability and the possibility of synthesis. Möbius SiC[7,7] nanobelts behave as semiconductors and absorb in the visible region, while Möbius BN[7,7] nanobelts demonstrate promise as ultraviolet (UV) sensors. Both structures exhibited significant thermal stability during a quantum molecular dynamic simulation. They are capable of withstanding temperatures at least 1500K. It is speculated that the proposed nanobelt molecules could stimulate further experimental investigations into their synthesis and technological applications.","PeriodicalId":20067,"journal":{"name":"Physica Scripta","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142199550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

With the film thickness reducing, the crystallization temperature, crystallization activation energy, amorphous and crystalline resistance increase remarkably, indicating the great improvement in thermal stability and power consumption. Ozawa’s model was used to estimate the crystallization kinetics of GeTe thin films, it shows that nucleation and grain growth occur simultaneously, and grain growth dominates ultimately. XRD analysis demonstrated that the grain size can be reduced and the crystallization process of GeTe thin film can be inhibited with the film thickness decreasing. Furthermore, the thinner film has smaller resistance drift index and surface roughness, which are beneficial to improve the reliability of storage device. T-type phase change memory devices based on 25 nm GeTe thin film were fabricated by 0.13 μm CMOS technology, and the current–voltage and resistance-voltage characteristics demonstrate the excellent electrical performance, including the fast resistance switching between SET and RESET processes, low threshold current and voltage.

Our results highlight that 100% detection probability of atom is possible in the present model in many ways with high precision measurement of spatial absorption. It has been shown that, in the presence of standing wave fields, position information of the atom with maximum detection probability can be efficiently controlled by employing the travelling-wave field in the system.

Due to its intrinsic nature, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is widely used in many industries, such as automobiles, medicine, etc. Producing the primitive geometry and selecting the proper infill pattern is challenging. Therefore, the current research paper investigates the effects of various infill patterns on the compressive performance of the three geometries (sphere, 3-side, and 4-side pyramids) printed through the FDM technique out of ABS material. The compressive experiments were conducted on the printed samples and load-displacement curves were evaluated. The results reveal that the concentrate path pattern in the sphere samples has the highest compressive failure load (40127 N). Also, the compressive failure loads in the 3-side and 4-side pyramids fabricated with a 45°/−45° raster pattern are 30444 N and 44396 N, respectively.
