Van der Waals interfaces can be formed by layer stacking without regard to lattice constants or symmetries of individual building blocks. We engineered the symmetry a van interface tungsten selenide and black phosphorus realized in-plane electronic polarization that led emergence spontaneous photovoltaic effect. Spontaneous photocurrent was observed along polar direction absent in perpendicular it. The explained quantum-mechanical shift current reflects geometrical topological nature this...
Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluidity and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) are the two extreme limits of ground state paired fermion systems. We report crossover behavior from BCS limit to BEC realized by varying carrier density in a two-dimensional superconductor, electron-doped zirconium nitride chloride. The phase diagram, established simultaneous measurements resistivity tunneling spectra under ionic gating, demonstrates pseudogap low-doping regime. ratio superconducting...
This paper presents an algorithm (called the N&M algorithm) for solving pure-integer separable nonlinear programming problems with two constraints. The uses surrogate constraints and solves a given problem by effectively generating values of multiplier (i.e., problems) problems. Examples show that is superior to dynamic using Lagrange in terms number iterations narrowness gap.
A method for solving the problem of optimizing both, redundancy (number redundant components) and component reliability in each stage a system under multiple constraints is presented. mixed-integer nonlinear programming formulation surrogate dual are used. The solution not always feasible original problem, that is, 'surrogate gap' exists. Two countermeasures to gaps considered: (1) modifying tighten constraints, with modification being continued until modified becomes (2) decreasing...
When designing a system, there are two methods that can be used to improve the system's reliability without changing nature of system: 1) using more reliable components, and/or 2) providing redundant components within system. The redundancy allocation problem attempts find appropriate mix & redundancies system in order either minimize cost subject minimum level reliability, or maximize maximum and weight. Redundancy problems classified into groups; one allows have with different...
The paper presents a method for obtaining an optimal reliability allocation of n-stage series system. In each stage, redundant comnponents can be added (in parallel, stand-by, or k-out-of-n:G, etc.), more reliable component used in order to improve the system reliability. solution is obtained by repeatedly using candidate at stage that has greatest value `weighted sensitivity function'. balance between objective unction and constraints controlled `balancing coefficient'. overall...
Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) crystals are attracting growing interest in various research fields such as engineering, physics, chemistry, pharmacy, and biology owing to their low dimensionality dramatic change of properties compared the bulk counter parts. Among techniques used manufacture 2D crystals, mechanical exfoliation has been essential practical applications fundamental research. However, mechanically exfoliated on substrates contain relatively thick flakes that must be found...
Abstract Corneal opacities are important causes of blindness, and their major etiology is infectious keratitis. Slit-lamp examinations commonly used to determine the causative pathogen; however, diagnostic accuracy low even for experienced ophthalmologists. To characterize “face” an infected cornea, we have adapted a deep learning architecture facial recognition applied it probability score specific pathogen causing record diverse features mitigate uncertainty, batches scores 4 serial images...

Superconductivity mostly appears in high carrier density systems and sometimes exhibits common phase diagrams which the critical temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}$ continuously develops with density. enhanced lightly doped regime has seldom been reported, although it is an ideal direction towards crossover between Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) limits, where behavior of Cooper pairs changes dramatically. Here we report transport properties superconducting gaps...

Spin-torque oscillators (STOs) are unique spintronic devices in which spin current induces the precession of magnetization oscillation layer. In this study, we demonstrate coupled out-of-plane between two layers within an STO. The state is observed magnetoresistance spectra as well its degradation due to mixing free depending on bias current. These behaviors analytically described and numerically reproduced based Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. Since STO fabricated write head a hard disk...
This paper compares three heuristic methods (Nakagawa-Nakashima, Gopal-Aggarwal-Gupta, Sharma-Venkateswaran) for solving reliability optimization problems with nonlinear constraints. Their effectiveness, measured in terms of computation time, optimality rate, and relative error, is evaluated on several sets randomly generated test constraints series systems. A FORTRAN program generating the best known solutions (some them are exact optimal) included.
Microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) is a promising technique for improving the density of hard disk drives (HDDs). We propose spin-torque oscillator (STO) structure with two field generation layers (FGLs) and spin-injection (SILs) microwave generation. By using macrospin model micromagnetic simulations, we numerically demonstrate low current operation STO. The nearly antiparallel oscillations FGLs, which make suitable distribution MAMR, are stabilized by slight modulation in-plane...
