With the majority of studies done on lower-dimensional cases (including but not limited to two-dimensional), systematic analytical solutions for the (3+1)-dimensional variant remain limited, particularly those capturing diverse wave phenomena. To bridge this void, we rely on the generalized exponential rational differential function technique, a solid analytical strategy, which finds solutions between rational forms that integrate a hyperbolic and trigonometric form. Utilizing this technique with traveling wave transformations in a systematic manner, we accomplish multiple families of exact optical soliton solutions with different wave structures. The solutions obtained are compared quantitatively, demonstrated by rich 2D contours and 3D surface visualizations at various parameter ranges, highlighting the dynamical behavior of the system. The analytical solutions present critical solutions for further exploring the properties of wave behaviors in plasma physics, shallow water waves, optical fiber communications and nonlinear dispersive systems. The novel aspect of this work is that systematic generation of different solution families for the (3+1)-dimensional Sakovich equation is established using a powerful approach not used previously for this model, thus broadening the analytical toolbox for multidimensional nonlinear evolution equations and providing the core building blocks for further development of complex wave processes in fluid dynamics and nonlinear optics.</p>","PeriodicalId":629,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics","volume":"142 3","pages":"268 - 284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148202933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

This study investigates the effect of immersion media and reinforcing materials on the thermal conductivity of epoxy-based composites reinforced with polyethylene fibers. Composite specimens were fabricated using epoxy resin as the matrix material and polyethylene fibers as reinforcement with volume fractions of 15 and 20%. The samples were immersed in tap water and ethanol solutions for different exposure periods. Thermal conductivity measurements were performed before and after immersion to evaluate the influence of chemical absorption on heat transfer behavior. The experimental results revealed that unreinforced epoxy exhibited higher thermal conductivity than fiber-reinforced composites. Furthermore, polyethylene fiber reinforcement significantly reduced thermal conductivity due to increased phonon scattering within the polymer matrix. Water immersion led to a noticeable increase in thermal conductivity, whereas ethanol immersion resulted in a reduction of thermal conductivity values with prolonged exposure time. The findings confirm that polyethylene fibers enhance the resistance of epoxy composites to liquid absorption; however, extended immersion causes microstructural degradation that adversely affects thermal performance. These results provide useful insights for the design of polymer composite materials intended for applications under humid or chemically aggressive environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":629,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics","volume":"142 3","pages":"227 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148202893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Indeed, spin-valley polarization can reduce intervalley scattering probability, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of valley-current transport. In this work, we use a local electric field in zigzag germanene nanoribbons (ZGeNR) exhibiting the quantum Hall (QH) effect to achieve the quantum spin-valley Hall (QSVH) effect, generating two counter-propagating spin-valley polarized currents. Subsequently, applying a global electric field separates these two oppositely polarized currents in energy, yielding a singly spin-valley polarized current.

By implementing a simplified periodic quarter-wave stack designed without the need for complex computational optimization—such as damped least squares or needle variation—we present a film-based filter achieving 95% average transmittance.
