Particularly, the photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) which is the microscopic spin splitting into circular polarization has given rise to novel applications, for example, precision metrology. The PSHE is well explored at planar interfaces, however much less attention is given to it when the optical potential gradient is of higher dimensionality, i.e., for nanoparticles.

The simulation results show that the average sound attenuation reaches 17 dB in the range of 0–5000 Hz due to the multilevel Fano resonance effect during the sound wave propagation process. Meanwhile, the sound field distribution law and the flow diagram also verify that the multilevel Fano resonance mechanism is the key factor causing broadband sound absorption. Then, the AMCS is fabricated by 3D printing, and the simulation results are verified by the acoustic experiment for AMCS cell. Additionally, to further enhance the overall sound attenuation in the railroad noise field, a simulation model of the combined train-track-AMCS sound barrier coupling is developed, and it is found that the AMCS type sound barrier can effectively block the propagation of wheel-rail noise from different angles, and it possesses a noise reduction of 20 dB in all frequency bands.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"537 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595444","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 this work, based on first-principles calculations, the optoelectronic properties of boron-related point defects in 4H-SiC is systematically investigated, and the passivation of hydrogen on B<sub>C</sub> defects is also evaluated. The calculated 0/−1 transition levels of substitutional defect B<sub>C</sub> are very close to the activation energies of the D-center observed in experiments. Furthermore, the photoluminescence (PL) peak positions and non-radiative hole capture cross-section of B<sub>C</sub> defects calculated are all in good agreement with the experimental values of the D-center. This confirms that the substitutional defects B<sub>C</sub> are responsible for the D-center in 4H-SiC.

This review examines several technologies that enable coherent conversion between SF and ultrafast lasers. The generation of ultrafast pulses by modulation of an SF laser, covering both electro-optic modulation (EOM) and optic-optic modulation (OOM) is discussed. With respect to Kerr soliton generation by SF laser-induced parametric frequency conversion, schemes with and without resonator structure are compared and discussed. The extraction of a single comb line from an ultrafast laser using stimulated Brillouin scattering is also presented.
