Recently, as one of the alternative materials, metal halide perovskites (MHPs) show great potential in high-performance neutron detector in both indirect and direct detecting mode. H or radioactive isotope, physically mixed, or atomic-level chemical hybrid into MHPs possesses large cross sections toward neutrons. The produced secondary particles induce MHPs generating high radioluminescence or detectable carriers. Accordingly, some advanced works about MHPs based neutron detectors were carried out and significant advancements led to unexpected and effective opportunities for the utilization of MHPs in the detection of neutrons. Herein, we aim at systematically summarizing current progress on MHPs based neutron detectors: (1) first, an introduction of background and detection mechanisms is provided to understand the neutron detectors clearly; (2) after that, we summarize the previously reported MHPs materials for neutron detecting and put an emphasis on the advanced work for various MHPs based neutron detectors; and (3) finally, the challenges remained and promising opportunities are also presented, for further boosting the performance of MHPs-based neutron detectors.","PeriodicalId":8200,"journal":{"name":"Applied physics reviews","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143930721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

They can be used to generate unique identities, linked to their structure, by measuring features associated with them. Optically read PUFs (O-PUFs) are a subset that utilizes optical imaging techniques to create these database of identities. They offer a promising solution to the perpetual challenge of counterfeiting by providing a robust authentication solution. The metrics chosen for evaluation are varied across the field; there is a lack of consensus in the figures of merit used for evaluation, as well as the protocols and standards used for assessing this specific subset of PUFs. This work reviews the progress in the development of evaluation techniques to date, and it highlights important differences in the statistical assessment of O-PUFs. A summary of the most popular metrics used in the literature in the past decade is presented, and the core metrics are isolated and mathematically defined. These are then distilled into recommendations of best practice for assessing and comparing different technologies. An open-source package, providing a full testing suite, is presented to standardize testing in this field. Finally, novel methods for evaluating the performance of O-PUFs over time are also proposed. A unified approach to assessment is essential for advancing anti-counterfeiting technologies, especially as these systems are now being used in commercial applications.","PeriodicalId":8200,"journal":{"name":"Applied physics reviews","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143915432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 the framework of weak measurement, Aharonov, Albert, and Vaidman introduced the concept of postselection and thereby defined the weak value. In recent research, weak-value measurement (WVM) has offered a novel perspective for studying intricate problems in quantum mechanics, leading to many conceptual breakthroughs. More importantly in practice, WVM has shown an unprecedented impact on precision sensing. In this review, we begin by presenting the fundamental theory of WVM based on quantum parameter estimation, from which the effects of weak-value amplification and weak-coupling amplification can be derived. The two effects can significantly improve the precision in various sensing schemes based on WVM. We point out the technical advantages that enable the WVM schemes to outperform the conventional ones under the same measurement conditions. Notably, the capability of information compression is underscored, which is garnering increasing attention in the field of quantum metrology. This review aims to show the possibility for broadening the application of WVM to address more critical problems, and on the other hand, for leveraging its advantages to accomplish tasks that are currently unattainable, such that WVM could play a more important role in the future of precision sensing.","PeriodicalId":8200,"journal":{"name":"Applied physics reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143915434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

To control the transport of topological carriers in such materials becomes a central issue. However, the topological bands in real materials are normally intricate, leaving obstacles to understanding the transports in a physically clear way. Here, we proposed an effective Weyl picture to effectively describe the macroscopic transport for topological semimetals with effective Weyl bands and simplified parameters. The essential sign regularity of anomalous Hall and Nernst transports was revealed by connecting to the chiralities of Weyl nodes and carrier types. A generalizable temperature scaling was verified by experimental transports of magnetic topological materials. Upon a double-Weyl picture, a concept of Berry-curvature ferrimagnetic structure, as an analogy to the real-space magnetic structure, was further proposed and well described the emerging sign reversal of Nernst thermoelectric transports in temperature scale. Our study offers a convenient tool for scaling the Weyl-fermion-related transport physics and promotes the modulations and applications of magnetic topological materials and quantum devices.","PeriodicalId":8200,"journal":{"name":"Applied physics reviews","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143893396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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, p-type photodetection is constrained by the scarcity of suitable photosensitive materials and challenges in interface engineering, particularly over-coupling at the hetero-interface, which significantly impacts detection performance. In this work, we present a p-type CuOx/WSe2 phototransistor that achieves both high responsivity and broad bandwidth. Using CuOx nanoparticles with abundant copper vacancies for broadband light absorption and two-dimensional WSe2 as a high-mobility channel, this device demonstrates an exceptional responsivity of up to 1.8 × 105 A/W across wavelengths from 365 to 810 nm. The high performance originates from hole injection from defect-rich CuOx into WSe2, combined with electron trapping in vacancy states. The weak van der Waals interaction at the interface effectively decouples the optical absorption (in CuOx) from charge transport (in WSe2), enabling high gain without sacrificing response speed.","PeriodicalId":8200,"journal":{"name":"Applied physics reviews","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

At the core of this unique capability are billions of neurons connected through trillions of synapses—basic processing units of the brain. The action potentials or “spikes” based temporal processing using the regulated flow of ions across ion channels in neuron cells allows sparse and efficient transmission of data in the brain. Emerging systems based on confined fluidic systems have provided a framework for a new type of neuromorphic computing with lower energy consumption, hardware-level plasticity, and multiple information carriers that emulate natural processes and mechanisms of human brain. These systems mimic neuronal architectures by harnessing and modulating ion transport along artificial channels. The spikes-induced ion-to-surface interactions within these fluidic systems enables the control of ionic conductivity to achieve synaptic plasticity for the realization of brain-inspired functionalities such as memory effect and signal transmission. Herein, this review provides an overview of recent advances in fluidic devices such as memristors and other computing components, covering their basic operations, materials and architectures, as well as applications in neuromorphic computing.
