In multilayer systems, extrinsic interfacial scattering, along with scattering from defects or impurities inside the materials, plays a crucial role in affecting the SOT efficiency. In this study, we successfully fabricated high-quality epitaxially grown [Ir/Pt]N superlattices with an increasing number of interfaces using a magnetron sputtering system to investigate the contribution of extrinsic interfacial scattering to SOT efficiency. We measured SOT efficiency through spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance methods and determined the spin Hall angle using the spin pumping technique. Additionally, we calculated spin transparency based on the SOT efficiency and spin Hall angle. Our findings indicate that the values of SOT efficiency, spin Hall angle, and spin transparency are enhanced in the superlattice structure compared to Pt, which we attribute to the increase in interfacial scattering.This research offers an effective strategy for designing and fabricating advanced spintronic devices.展开更多

文摘The mechanisms of enhancing spin-orbit torque(SOT) have attracted significant attention, particularly regarding the influence of extrinsic scattering mechanisms on SOT efficiency, as they complement intrinsic contributions. In multilayer systems, extrinsic interfacial scattering, along with scattering from defects or impurities inside the materials, plays a crucial role in affecting the SOT efficiency. In this study, we successfully fabricated high-quality epitaxially grown [Ir/Pt]N superlattices with an increasing number of interfaces using a magnetron sputtering system to investigate the contribution of extrinsic interfacial scattering to SOT efficiency. We measured SOT efficiency through spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance methods and determined the spin Hall angle using the spin pumping technique. Additionally, we calculated spin transparency based on the SOT efficiency and spin Hall angle. Our findings indicate that the values of SOT efficiency, spin Hall angle, and spin transparency are enhanced in the superlattice structure compared to Pt, which we attribute to the increase in interfacial scattering.This research offers an effective strategy for designing and fabricating advanced spintronic devices.

文摘Gas targets have been used to measure the scattering length in neutron-proton(n-p)scattering experiments.Changes in electron dynamics within the gas target have a negligible effect on the dynamics of nucleons.However,electron dynamics are sensitively related to the specific form of the n-p interaction during the scattering process.We propose a theoretical approach to explore electron dynamics and determine the parameters of the n-p interaction.This approach is based on a three-body scattering process involving a neutron,a proton and an electron.Numerical results indicate significant differences in electron dynamics with varying values of n-p interaction parameters,providing additional information beyond scattering cross-sections to accurately determine these parameters.

文摘This study proposes a numerically efficient technique for computing the far-field scattered by a spherical target placed near the seabed.The bottom is supposed to be a homogeneous liquid attenuating half-space.The transmitter and receiver are situated at different points of a homogeneous water half-space.The distances between the transmitter,receiver,and object of interest are assumed to be much larger than the acoustic wavelength in water.The scattered far-field is ascertained using Hackman and Sammelmann’s general approach.The arising scattering coefficients of a sphere are assessed using the steepest descent approach.The branch cut contribution is also considered.The obtained formulas for the form-function can be used for acoustically rigid or soft scatterers,as well as elastic targets or spherical elastic shells.Numerical simulations are conducted for an acoustically rigid sphere.Asymptotic expressions for the scattering coefficients allow a decrease in the number of summands in the formula for the target strength and a significant reduction in computational time.

文摘Transforming a scattering medium into a lens for imaging very simple binary objects is possible;however,it remains challenging to image complex grayscale objects,let alone measure 3D continuous distribution objects.Here,we propose and demonstrate the use of a ground glass diffuser as a scattering lens for imaging complex grayscale fringes,and we employ it to achieve microscopic structured light 3D imaging(MSL3DI).The ubiquitous property of the speckle patterns permits the exploitation of the scattering medium as an ultra-thin scattering lens with a variable focal length and a flexible working distance for microscale object measurement.The method provides a light,flexible,and cost-effective imaging device as an alternative to microscope objectives or telecentric lenses in conventional MSL3DI systems.We experimentally demonstrate that employing a scattering lens allows us to achieve relatively good phase information and robust 3D imaging from depth measurements,yielding measurement accuracy only marginally lower than that of a telecentric lens,typically within approximately 10μm.Furthermore,the scattering lens demonstrates robust performance even when the imaging distance exceeds the typical working distance of a telecentric lens.The proposed method facilitates the application of scattering imaging techniques,providing a more flexible solution for MSL3DI.

文摘Stimulated Raman scattering(SRS)under a new ignition path that combines the advantages of direct-drive(DD)and indirect-drive(ID)schemes is investigated experimentally at the Shenguang-100 kJ facility.The results show that collective SRS in the plasma produced by ablating a polyimide film is detected for the ID beams,but is suppressed by adding a toe before the main pulse of the ID beams.The toe also strongly influences SRS of both the ID and DD beams excited in the plasma generated in the hohlraum.When a toe is used,the SRS spectra of the DD beams show that SRS tends to be excited in lower plasma density,which will result in a lower risk of super-hot electrons.Measurements of hot electrons support this conclusion.This research will help us produce a better pulse design for this new ignition path.

文摘A scheme based on irregular V-shaped silicon nanoantennas is proposed to optimize transverse unidirectional scattering under plane wave irradiation.Traditional methods of designing regular shapes offer fewer parameters and higher search efficiency.However,due to the limitations of regular shapes,it is challenging to meet high-precision design requirements.Irregular shape design allows for a broader range of adjustments,but the complexity of shape parameters leads to lower search efficiency and a higher likelihood of converging to local optima.

文摘Recent experiments at the National Ignition Facility and theoretical modeling suggest that side stimulated Raman scattering(SSRS)instability could reduce laser–plasma coupling and generate considerable fluxes of suprathermal hot electrons under interaction conditions envisaged for direct-drive schemes for inertial confinement fusion.Nonetheless,SSRS remains to date one of the least understood parametric instabilities.Here,we report the first angularly and spectrally resolved measurements of scattered light at laser intensities relevant for the shock ignition scheme(I×10^(16)W/cm^(2)),showing significant SSRS growth in the direction perpendicular to the laser polarization.Modification of the focal spot shape and orientation,obtained by using two different random phase plates,and of the density gradient of the plasma,by utilizing exploding foil targets of different thicknesses,clearly reveals a different dependence of backward SRS(BSRS)and SSRS on experimental parameters.While convective BSRS scales with plasma density scale length,as expected by linear theory,the growth of SSRS depends on the spot extension in the direction perpendicular to laser polarization.Our analysis therefore demonstrates that under current experimental conditions,with density scale lengths L_(n)≈60–120μm and spot sizes FWHM≈40–100μm,SSRS is limited by laser beam size rather than by the density scale length of the plasma.

文摘During daylight laser polarization sensing of high-level clouds(HLCs),the lidar receiving system generates a signal caused by not only backscattered laser radiation,but also scattered solar radiation,the intensity and polarization of which depends on the Sun’s location.If a cloud contains spatially oriented ice particles,then it becomes anisotropic,that is,the coefficients of directional light scattering of such a cloud depend on the Sun’s zenith and azimuth angles.In this work,the possibility of using the effect of anisotropic scattering of solar radiation on the predictive ability of machine learning algorithms in solving the problem of predicting the HLC backscattering phase matrix(BSPM)was evaluated.The hypothesis that solar radiation scattered on HLCs has no effect on the BSPM elements of such clouds determined with a polarization lidar was tested.The operation of two algorithms for predicting the BSPM elements is evaluated.To train the first one,meteorological data were used as input parameters;for the second algorithm,the azi-muthal and zenith angles of the Sun’s position were added to the meteorological parameters.It is shown that there is no significant improvement in the predictive ability of the algorithm.
