Abstract Metasurfaces enable the full control of electromagnetic waves over a wide spectrum. High‐efficiency transmissive metasurfaces have been demonstrated up to visible frequencies by using dielectrics. However, extending operating spectrum ultraviolet range is challenging.

Although Si acts as an electrical semiconductor, it has properties of optical dielectric. Here, we revisit the behavior a plasmonic metal.

The quest to mimic the multistate synapses for bioinspired computing has triggered nascent research that leverages well-established magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) technology. Early works on spin transfer torque MTJ-based artificial neural network (ANN) are susceptible poor thermal reliability, high latency, and critical current densities. Meanwhile, work spin–orbit (SOT) ANN mainly utilized domain wall motion, which yields negligibly small readout signals differentiating consecutive states...

The discovery of chiral spin texture has unveiled many unusual yet extraordinary physical phenomena, such as the Néel type domain walls and magnetic skyrmions. A recent theoretical study suggests that a exchange interaction is not limited to single ferromagnetic layer; instead, three-dimensional textures can arise from an interlayer Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. However, influence coupling on electrical manipulation magnetization rarely been addressed. Here, coexistence both symmetric...
