Variations in the atomic dimensions of ZnO matrix were observed with an escalation in dopant concentration ranging from 0 to 5 at.% (atomic percent). The incorporation of Fe into the lattice was found to influence the optical transmittance properties and resulted in a decrement of the optical bandgap from 3.28 eV to 2.90 eV. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the films are monophasic, retaining a wurtzite structure characteristic of pure ZnO. Comprehensive material characterization was conducted by utilizing a suite of analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), to substantiate the successful synthesis of the nanocomposite and to evaluate various attributes such as surface area, structural and morphological features, chemical composition, and purity. The gas-sensing efficacy of the Fe-doped ZnO films towards nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) was assessed, revealing a significant gas response of 31.81% at an operational temperature of 400 degrees Celsius for a NO<sub>2</sub> concentration of 100 parts per million (ppm). This gas-sensing performance is characterized by prompt response and recovery times, recorded at 23 s and 61 s, respectively.

On the other hand, the vacuum state of curvature perturbation could be expressed as a two-mode squeezed state. In this paper, we study the effects of the non-trivial speed of sound of the perturbations on the evolution of quantum discord for the primordial curvature perturbation using the squeezed formalism. Quantum discord, a measure of the non-classical correlations or quantum correlations between two subsystems of a quantum system, is closely related to the concept of entanglement in the field of quantum information science. We show that the effective speed of sound of primordial perturbations affects the final <i>freeze-in</i> amplitude of the quantum discord. This should provide us with a way to discern the effective speed of sound from quantum discord. We further argue that this may help us further understand the connection between the scrambling time and the effective speed of sounds of the perturbations. These connections can usher a direction when understanding the early Universe from a quantum information point of view.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":"85 9","pages":"705 - 711"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252836","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}

However, the system is generally unstable to lattice relaxation at small twist angles and is expected to show a significantly modified electronic band structure. In particular, a helical trilayer graphene—whose two twisted angles have the same sign—provides an attractive platform with a flat band isolated by large energy gaps near the magic angle, but the interplay between the lattice and the electronic degrees of freedom is not well understood. Here, we performed a large-scale molecular dynamics simulation to study the lattice relaxation of helical trilayer graphenes and evaluated their electronic spectra with a tight-binding model calculation. The comparison of the electronic spectra with and without the lattice relaxation reveals how the lattice relaxation significantly modifies the electronic spectra, particularly near the charge neutrality point. We also investigated the local density of states to visualize the spatially varying electronic spectra that accord with macroscopic domain patterns of moiré lattice stackings. We propose these characteristic spectral features in the electronic degrees of freedom of a relaxed helical trilayer graphene to be confirmed by scanning probe techniques, such as scanning single-electron transistors and scanning tunneling microscopes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":"85 9","pages":"727 - 736"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252840","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}

In particular, the ability to analyze the crystallinity, the number of layers, defects, and electronic properties of two-dimensional materials (2DMs). 2DMs make it a valuable analytical tool in numerous fields. Among 2DMs, rhombohedral stacking graphite, which has ABC-stacked layers, has a different band structure that shows peculiar electronic properties compared to Bernal stacking graphite, which has ABA-stacked layers, and exhibits the characteristics of a topological insulator, making it a unique material. Using Raman spectroscopy, Bernal and rhombohedral stacking can be easily distinguished at room temperature. In multi-layer graphene (MLG), the stacking order can be distinguished by various bands generated from Raman scattering. Additionally, changes in the excitation energy of the laser result in shifts in the Raman peaks and changes in the line shape. In this study, 633 nm and 514 nm lasers were utilized to compare the Raman bands of MLG in Bernal and rhombohedral stacking order. The 2D band, which is a second-order overtone of different in-plane vibrations, was fitted with three Lorentzian peaks to investigate how each Lorentzian peak changes according to the stacking order. Subsequently, the D + Dʺ, N, and M bands, which are weak combination bands with double resonant Raman modes, were investigated to see how they change in Bernal and rhombohedral stacking MLG with increasing laser energy.
