The quasi‐static crushing responses of SRHs, including deformation mechanism, crushing stress, specific energy absorption (SEA), and Poisson's ratio, are studied based on the finite‐element (FE) method. The introduction of rhombic parts increases the number of plastic hinges, resulting in significantly higher crushing stress and SEA of the SRHs than that of the TSH. Among the SRHs, SRH‐A has the largest energy absorption, and the SEA value of SRH‐A is 98.2% higher than TSH. Then, parametric studies including wall thickness, cell wall angle, and spacing length between the vertices of the star‐shaped part and the rhombic part are carried out. The wall thickness and cell wall angle have the greatest influence on the crushing response of SRHs. Crushing stress and Poisson's ratio of SRHs can be adjusted by changing the wall thickness of the rhombic part. The configurations and geometric parameters of the rhombic part determine the Poisson's ratio of SRHs. This study provides effective guidance for designing star‐shaped honeycombs with enhanced load‐bearing capacity and energy absorption capacity.","PeriodicalId":20107,"journal":{"name":"physica status solidi (b)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87808991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Impact of stacking engineering on the electronic and optical properties is explored through six different stacking patterns and the AA1 configuration is found to be most stable displaying the highest reflectance and refractive index values. Moreover, this PtS2 bilayer structure demonstrates promising light absorption capability over a wide range (2–12 eV) with the position of absorption edge showing a redshift as the layers number increases.

Herein, first‐principles methods are employed to investigate its electronic structure, magnetic properties, and optical behavior. The results demonstrate that Cu‐doped TiO2$left(text{TiO}right)_{2}$ exhibits intrinsic ferromagnetism. The presence of O vacancies facilitates the ferromagnetic exchange between Cu ions by forming bound magnetic polarons (BMPs). This finding validates the BMPs model and explains for the decrease in magnetic properties during annealing under O2 conditions. As the concentration of Cu increases, the system undergoes a transition from a semiconductor to a metal. Cu ions exhibit a preference for a compact configuration and display either paramagnetism or antiferromagnetism. The spin polarization can be effectively controlled from 0% to 100% by adjusting the concentration and site of Cu. Additionally, Cu doping leads to a reduction in the bandgap and an extension of the absorption range into the infrared region. The absorption intensity is positively correlated with the concentration. The presence of a spin‐polarized intermediate band indicates a correlation between the spin of the excited electron and the energy of the absorbed photon. Overall, Cu‐doped TiO2$left(text{TiO}right)_{2}$ shows significant potential for applications in spintronics and spin‐related optics, including photospintronics and spin photocatalysis.","PeriodicalId":20107,"journal":{"name":"physica status solidi (b)","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90569265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon is related to the symmetry of the lattice. Simultaneously, it is observed that the fluorescence decay lifetime decreases with increasing concentration. The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates obtained from the measured color of the sample are also very close to the standard white light coordinates (0.3333, 0.3333).

The switchable device consists of two symmetrical split ring resonator antistructures made from niobium nitride film in one unit cell. The relatively high modulation depths of 88.5% can be obtained at resonance peaks of 0.328 THz by applying a very low bias voltage of 0.8 V. Due to the presence of higher‐order resonance modes, the superconducting device also demonstrates a multiband tuning ability at 1.03 and 1.16 THz. To further analyze the modulation mechanism of the superconducting device, the temperature dependence of the switchable device is also measured. The trends of conductivity change are calculated based on the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer theory and the simulations agree well with the experimental results. During the experiment, this device not only owns a good switching capability but also shows significant frequency selective bandpass characteristics. This study delivers a promising approach for designing active and miniaturized devices, especially for applications in THz cryogenic systems.","PeriodicalId":20107,"journal":{"name":"physica status solidi (b)","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88976319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deformation mode, plateau stress, and specific energy absorption (SEA) are studied based on the FE simulations. With respect to the conventional hierarchical honeycombs, the reentrant hierarchical honeycombs, in most instances, are found to exhibit higher plateau stress but lower SEA. It is remarkable that the hierarchical hexagonal honeycombs exhibit higher plateau stress and SEA than the basic hexagonal ones, which indicates that the hierarchical design is effective in improving both the impact resistance and energy absorption capabilities of the honeycombs.","PeriodicalId":20107,"journal":{"name":"physica status solidi (b)","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76144419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
