It is found that trilayers with a perpendicular anisotropy possess considerably larger coercivities and smaller remanences and energy products compared with those with an in-plane anisotropy. Increase of β leads to a fast decrease of the maximum energy product as well as the drop of both remanence and coercivity. Such a drop is much faster than that in the single-phased hard material, which can explain the significant discrepancy between the experiment and the theoretical energy products. Some modeling techniques have been utilized with spin check procedures performed, which yield results in good agreement with the one-dimensional （1D） analytical and experimental data, justifying our calculations. Further, the calculated nucleation fields according to the 3D calculations are larger than those based on the 1D model, whereas the corresponding coercivity is smaller, leading to more square hysteresis loops and better agreement between experimental data and the theory.展开更多

These phenomena are primarily from the effective anisotropies introduced into a ferromagnet by exchange coupling with a strongly anisotropic antiferromagnet. These effective anisotropies can also be used to explain the dynamic consequences of exchange-biased bilayers. In this article, the dynamic consequences such as exchange-induced susceptibility, exchange-induced permeability, and the corresponding domain wall characteristics in the exchange-biased structures of ferromagnet/antiferromagnetl/antiferromagnet2 are studied. The results show that the second antiferromagnetic layer can largely affect the dynamic consequences of exchange-blazed bilayers. Especially in the case of critical temperature, the effects become more obvious. Practically, the exchange anisotropy of biased bilayer system can be tuned by exchange coupling with the second antiferromagnetic layer.展开更多

Both of these structures obey the ice rule. The novel ice phase is a flat hexagonal-rhombic trilayer ice, obtained under 1 GPa load at wall separation of 1.0 nm. In this structure, the water molecules in the two layers next to one of the walls （outer layers） and in the middle layer form hexagonal rings and rhombic rings, respectively. For a molecule in the outer layers, three of its four hydrogen bonds are in the same layer, and the other one hydrogen bond connects to the middle layer. For a molecule in the middle layer, only two of its four hydrogen-bonds are located in the same layer, and the other two connect to two different outer layers. Despite their different motifs, the area densities of the three layers are almost equal. The other structure is a flat hexagonal bilayer ice produced at wall separation of 0.8 nm under lateral pressure of 100 MPa, analogous to a system demonstrated by Koga et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 5262 （1997）]. Both first-order and continuous phase transitions take place in these simulations.展开更多

Based on the model, in which the antiferromagnetism is treated with an Ising mean field theory and the rotational anisotropy is assumed to be related to the field created by the moment induced on the antiferromagnetic layer next to the ferromagnetic layer, we can explain why in experiments for ferromag- netism （FM）/antiferromagntism 1 （AFM1）/antiferromagnetism 2 （AFM2） systems the thickness-dependent rotational anisotropy value is non-monotonic, i.e. it reaches a minimum for this system at a specific thickness of the first anti- ferromagnetic layer and exhibits oscillatory behaviour. In addition, we find that the temperature-dependent rotational anisotropy value is in good agreement with the experimental result.展开更多

The trilayered films were fabricated at different thickness ratios to get an optimized structure. TbFe had positive GM properties, and cobalt, dysprosium layers made the magnetostriction property of composite film increase in low magnetic field. To fabricate the Si based microactuator with trilayered film, micromachining processes including RIE （Reactive Ion Etching） and selective DC magnetron sputtering techniques were combined. The deposited film thicknesses were measured by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. As a result, the magnetization of the film on the fabricated actuator was observed to characterize the magnetic properties of the TbFe/Co/Dy film using VSM （Vibrating Sample Magnetometer）. The magnetostriction of the actuator was determined by measuring the differences of curvature of the film coated silicon substrates using the optical cantilever method, and the deflections were also estimated under the external magnetic field lower than 0.5T for micro-system applications.展开更多

In the junctions, the free magnetic layer 2× （NiFe/CoZnO） and the fixed magnetic layer （CoZnO/Co） × 2 are used to realize the spin valve functions in the external switch magnetic field. Since the wide gap semiconductor ZnO layer is located between the two magnetic semiconductor layers CoZnO, the electrical ,spin injection from the magnetic semiconductor CoZnO into the non-magnetic semiconductor ZnO is realized. Based on the measured magnetoresistance and the Schmidt model, the spin polarization ratio in the ZnO semiconductor is deduced to be 11.7% at 90K and 7.0% at room temperature, respectively.展开更多

Magnetic properties were evaluated by VSM and spin valve magnetoresistance was investigated by a four-probe method to study the interlayer coupling of the two magnetic layers. It has been found that the interlayer coupling depended not only on the layer thickness of the nonmagnetic spacer but also on the nature of the spacer. The interlayer coupling was reduced as the spacer layer thickness increased. The result was consistent with those from observations of the magnetic domain for the trilayers by means of Lorentz Electron Microscope. The trilayers with Cu spacer layer have shown a stronger coupling than those with Ta spacer layer.展开更多

The spin Chern-number Cs for energy-bands of trilayer graphene having the essence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is analytically calculated. We find that for each valley and spin, Cs is three times larger in trilayer graphene as compared to single layer graphene. Since the spin Chern-number corresponds to the number of edge states, consequently the trilayer graphene has edge states, three times more in comparison to single layer graphene. We also study the trilayer graphene in the presence of both electric-field and intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and investigate that the trilayer graphene goes through a phase transition from a quantum spin Hall state to a quantum valley Hall state when the strength of the electric field exceeds the intrinsic spin coupling strength. The robustness of the associated topological bulk-state of the trilayer graphene is evaluated by adding various perturbations such as Rashba spin-orbit （RSO） interaction αR, and exchange-magnetization M. In addition, we consider a theoretical model, where only one of the outer layers in trilayer graphene has the essence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, while the other two layers have zero intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. Although the first Chern number is non-zero for individual valleys of trilayer graphene in this model, however, we find that the system cannot be regarded as a topological insulator because the system as a whole is not gaped.展开更多

In this work, Re/A1-A1Ox/Re Josephson tunnel junctions were fabricated using a selective film-etching process similar to that developed in Nb trilayer technology. The Re films had a superconducting transition temperature of 4.8 K and a transition width of 0.2 K. The junctions were found to be highly reproducible using the fabrication process and their characteristics had good quality with a low leakage current and showed a superconducting gap of 0.55 meV.展开更多

To gain a deep understanding of such exotic properties, it is essential to clarify the broken symmetry between spin and valley flavors which universally exists in these ground states. Here in a rhombohedral trilayer graphene crystallographically aligned with a hexagonal boron nitride, we report various kinds of symmetry-breaking transition tuned by displacement fields(D) and magnetic fields:(ⅰ) While it is well known that a finite D can enhance correlation to result in correlated insulators at fractional fillings of a flat band, we find the correlation gap emerges before the flavor is fully filled at a positive D, but the sequence is reversed at a negative D.(ⅱ) Around zero D, electronic correlation can be invoked by narrow Landau levels, leading to quantum Hall ferromagnetism that lifts all the degeneracies including not only spin and valley but also orbital degrees of freedom. Our result unveils the complication of transitions between symmetry-breaking phases, shedding light on the mechanisms of various exotic phenomena in strongly correlated systems.展开更多

Based on the classical laminated plate theory assumptions, the governing equations of coupled thermoelastic problems are established for axisymmetric out-of-plane vibration of trilayered circular plate. The analytical expression for thermoelastic damping is obtained and the accuracy is verified through comparison with finite element analysis results. Then some simplifications are made on the theoretical model.展开更多

文摘Exchange anisotropy in FM/AFM bilayers has given a lot of static magnetization properties such as enhanced coercivity and magnetization loop shifts. These phenomena are primarily from the effective anisotropies introduced into a ferromagnet by exchange coupling with a strongly anisotropic antiferromagnet.

In this article, the dynamic consequences such as exchange-induced susceptibility, exchange-induced permeability, and the corresponding domain wall characteristics in the exchange-biased structures of ferromagnet/antiferromagnetl/antiferromagnet2 are studied. The results show that the second antiferromagnetic layer can largely affect the dynamic consequences of exchange-blazed bilayers.

Practically, the exchange anisotropy of biased bilayer system can be tuned by exchange coupling with the second antiferromagnetic layer.

Based on the model, in which the antiferromagnetism is treated with an Ising mean field theory and the rotational anisotropy is assumed to be related to the field created by the moment induced on the antiferromagnetic layer next to the ferromagnetic layer, we can explain why in experiments for ferromag- netism （FM）/antiferromagntism 1 （AFM1）/antiferromagnetism 2 （AFM2） systems the thickness-dependent rotational anisotropy value is non-monotonic, i.e. it reaches a minimum for this system at a specific thickness of the first anti- ferromagnetic layer and exhibits oscillatory behaviour. In addition, we find that the temperature-dependent rotational anisotropy value is in good agreement with the experimental result.
文摘In this article, it was suggested a TbFe/Co/Dy trilayered GM （Giant Magnetostrictive） film type actuator and investigated the magnetomechanical characteristics of the actuator for micro application. The trilayered films were fabricated at different thickness ratios to get an optimized structure. TbFe had positive GM properties, and cobalt, dysprosium layers made the magnetostriction property of composite film increase in low magnetic field. To fabricate the Si based microactuator with trilayered film, micromachining processes including RIE （Reactive Ion Etching） and selective DC magnetron sputtering techniques were combined. The deposited film thicknesses were measured by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. As a result, the magnetization of the film on the fabricated actuator was observed to characterize the magnetic properties of the TbFe/Co/Dy film using VSM （Vibrating Sample Magnetometer）. The magnetostriction of the actuator was determined by measuring the differences of curvature of the film coated silicon substrates using the optical cantilever method, and the deflections were also estimated under the external magnetic field lower than 0.5T for micro-system applications.

文摘We prepare 2× （NiFe/CoZnO）/ZnO/（CoZnO/Co）×2 spin valve structures used for spin injection by sputtering and photolithography. In the junctions, the free magnetic layer 2× （NiFe/CoZnO） and the fixed magnetic layer （CoZnO/Co） × 2 are used to realize the spin valve functions in the external switch magnetic field. Since the wide gap semiconductor ZnO layer is located between the two magnetic semiconductor layers CoZnO, the electrical ,spin injection from the magnetic semiconductor CoZnO into the non-magnetic semiconductor ZnO is realized. Based on the measured magnetoresistance and the Schmidt model, the spin polarization ratio in the ZnO semiconductor is deduced to be 11.7% at 90K and 7.0% at room temperature, respectively.

文摘Cu/Co, Cu/NiFe, Ta/NiFe bilayers and Co/Cu/Co, Co/Cu/NiFe, Co/Ta/NiFe sandwich films were deposited by a magnetron sputtering method. Magnetic properties were evaluated by VSM and spin valve magnetoresistance was investigated by a four-probe method to study the interlayer coupling of the two magnetic layers. It has been found that the interlayer coupling depended not only on the layer thickness of the nonmagnetic spacer but also on the nature of the spacer. The interlayer coupling was reduced as the spacer layer thickness increased. The result was consistent with those from observations of the magnetic domain for the trilayers by means of Lorentz Electron Microscope. The trilayers with Cu spacer layer have shown a stronger coupling than those with Ta spacer layer.

文摘The present study pertains to the trilayer graphene in the presence of spin orbit coupling to probe the quantum spin/valley Hall effect. The spin Chern-number Cs for energy-bands of trilayer graphene having the essence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is analytically calculated. We find that for each valley and spin, Cs is three times larger in trilayer graphene as compared to single layer graphene. Since the spin Chern-number corresponds to the number of edge states, consequently the trilayer graphene has edge states, three times more in comparison to single layer graphene. We also study the trilayer graphene in the presence of both electric-field and intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and investigate that the trilayer graphene goes through a phase transition from a quantum spin Hall state to a quantum valley Hall state when the strength of the electric field exceeds the intrinsic spin coupling strength. The robustness of the associated topological bulk-state of the trilayer graphene is evaluated by adding various perturbations such as Rashba spin-orbit （RSO） interaction αR, and exchange-magnetization M. In addition, we consider a theoretical model, where only one of the outer layers in trilayer graphene has the essence of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, while the other two layers have zero intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. Although the first Chern number is non-zero for individual valleys of trilayer graphene in this model, however, we find that the system cannot be regarded as a topological insulator because the system as a whole is not gaped.

文摘Rhenium is a superconductor with a relatively weak tendency to oxidize, which is advantageous in superconducting quantum circuit and qubit applications. In this work, Re/A1-A1Ox/Re Josephson tunnel junctions were fabricated using a selective film-etching process similar to that developed in Nb trilayer technology. The Re films had a superconducting transition temperature of 4.8 K and a transition width of 0.2 K. The junctions were found to be highly reproducible using the fabrication process and their characteristics had good quality with a low leakage current and showed a superconducting gap of 0.55 meV.

文摘Moiré superlattices in van der Waals heterostructures have recently attracted enormous interests, due to the highly controllable electronic correlation that gives rise to superconductivity, ferromagnetism, and nontrivial topological properties. To gain a deep understanding of such exotic properties, it is essential to clarify the broken symmetry between spin and valley flavors which universally exists in these ground states. Here in a rhombohedral trilayer graphene crystallographically aligned with a hexagonal boron nitride, we report various kinds of symmetry-breaking transition tuned by displacement fields(D) and magnetic fields:(ⅰ) While it is well known that a finite D can enhance correlation to result in correlated insulators at fractional fillings of a flat band, we find the correlation gap emerges before the flavor is fully filled at a positive D, but the sequence is reversed at a negative D.(ⅱ) Around zero D, electronic correlation can be invoked by narrow Landau levels, leading to quantum Hall ferromagnetism that lifts all the degeneracies including not only spin and valley but also orbital degrees of freedom. Our result unveils the complication of transitions between symmetry-breaking phases, shedding light on the mechanisms of various exotic phenomena in strongly correlated systems.
文摘Thermoelastic damping of the axisymmetric vibration of laminated circular plate resonators is discussed in this paper. Based on the classical laminated plate theory assumptions, the governing equations of coupled thermoelastic problems are established for axisymmetric out-of-plane vibration of trilayered circular plate. The analytical expression for thermoelastic damping is obtained and the accuracy is verified through comparison with finite element analysis results. Then some simplifications are made on the theoretical model.

文摘Aluminum-doped zinc oxide/platinum/fluorine-doped tin oxide（AZO/Pt/FTO） trilayer films were prepared by sputtering 5-nm-thick Pt layers and 150-nm-thick AZO layers in sequence on commercial FTO glass.The effects of onestep annealing and layer-by-layer annealing on the morphology,structure and photoelectric properties of the AZO/Pt/FTO trilayer films were comparatively analyzed.It is found that the both annealing approaches increased the grain size and improved the crystallinity of the films,leading to enhancement in transmittance and conductivity.However,layer-by-layer annealing led to the formation of quasi-continuous or continuous AZO layers,different from the sparsely distributed AZO particles brought about by one-step annealing,resulting in excellent optical and electrical properties.Specifically,after layer-by-layer annealing at 400 ℃ for both Pt and AZO layers,the AZO/Pt/FTO trilayer film showed an increase in average transmittance from 71.3% to 85.3% and a decrease in sheet resistance from 7.5 to 5.6 Ω/□,leading to the highest figure of merit of 3.64 × 10^（-2） Ω^（-1）.

文摘While a variety of wound dressing materials are available,the effective combination of multiple active components into a single composite dressing to optimize wound healing outcomes presents a substantial challenge.Herein,we introduce a novel trilayer nanofiber membrane(SNM)for accelerated infected wound healing.The SNM,fabricated via electrospinning,comprises a hydrophilic inner layer enriched with epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG)for antioxidant activity,an antimicrobial middle layer incorporating silver zeolitic imidazolate framework(Ag-ZIF),and a hydrophobic outer layer of waterborne polyurethane(WPU)for structural integrity.The SNM exhibits superior mechanical properties,with a tensile strength of 8.83±0.99 MPa and an elongation at break of 262.57%±30.06%,alongside a water vapor transmission rate(WVTR)of 521 g/(m^(20·24h).The SNM composites demonstrate potent bactericidal effects,achieving a 93.50%±5.77%and 94.39%±4.29%reduction against E.coli and S.aureus,respectively.Furthermore,the SNM exhibits a high 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)free radical scavenging efficiency of 95%at a concentration of 100μg/mL.Animal studies indicate significant wound healing enhancement,with the SNM-treated group achieving a 52.78%healing rate on day 3,compared to 11.15%for the control group.This work offers a promising strategy for the development of multifunctional wound dressings with integrated antibacterial nanomaterials and natural bioactive components within a single composite material.

文摘Although quantum-dot light-emitting diodes(QLEDs)can exhibit high efficiency and long lifetime,the realization of QLEDs-based displays remains challenging due to their complex multilayer architectures and the use of unstable poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)hole injection layer(HIL).Here,we develop a novel trilayer p-type/intrinsic/n-type(PIN)QLED with only three functional layers:PTAA:TFB:F4-TCNQ(PTAA:poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)amine];TFB:poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-co-(4,4'-(N-(4-sec-butylphenyl)diphenylamine)];F4-TCNQ:2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane)bulk-heterojunction(BHJ)hole transport layer(HTL),quantum-dot emiting layer,and ZnMgO electron transport layer.Due to well-matched energy level,increased hole transport path from PTAA to TFB,and improved hole density and enhanced hole mobility of the PTAA:TFB:F4-TCNQ BHJ HTL,the resultant trilayer PIN QLED exhibits a high external quantum efficiency(EQE)of 25.1%and an impressive peak brightness of 382,600 cd/m^(2),which are significantly higher than those of the control QLED.Moreover,the trilayer PIN QLED also shows a 1.94-fold longer operational lifetime than control QLED due to the improved device performance,reduced charge accumulation,and removal of unstable PEDOT:PSS.The developed trilayer PIN QLED,with fewer functional layers and better stability,could promote the practical application of QLED in displays and solid-state lighting.

文摘This work focuses on the ground-state phase diagram,the compensation temperatures and the critical behaviors of a ferrimagnetic graphene-like trilayer induced by crystal fields and exchange couplings.The simulation results show that a negative decrease in crystal field or an increase in exchange coupling can increase the critical temperature.More importantly,an M curve with double compensation temperatures can be observed,which is not predicted by the Neel theory.This remarkable compensation phenomenon has potential application value in the field of magnetic recording.

文摘We investigate the squared sublattice magnetizations and magnetic excitations of a S=1/2 trilayer antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with interlayer interaction J_(⊥) and intralayer interaction J_(//),by employing stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo(SSE-QMC)and stochastic analytic continuation(SAC)methods.Compared with the bilayer model,the trilayer model has one inner layer and two outer layers.The change in its symmetry can lead to special magnetic excitations.Our study reveals that the maximum of the magnetization of the outer sublattice corresponds to smaller ratio parameter g=Ju/_(//)J_(⊥),a finding that is verified using the finite-size extrapolation.As g decreases,the excitation spectra gradually evolve from a degenerate magnon mode with continua to low-energy and high-energy branches.Particularly when g is small enough,like 0.02,the high-energy spectrum further splits into characteristic doublon(J_(⊥))and quarton(~1.5J_(⊥))spectral bands.Moreover,the accuracy of the magnetic excitations is confirmed through the SpinW software package and the dispersion relations derived through the linear spin wave theory.Our results provide an important reference for experiments,which can be directly compared with experimental data from inelastic neutron scattering results to verify and guide the accuracy of experimental detection.

文摘The interface instability between composite solid electrolytes(CSEs)and lithium anode significantly shortens the lifespan of all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs)with high areal capacity.In this work,a CSE featuring a trilayer architecture is developed by incorporating a thin polyethylene(PE)separator into a blending polymer matrix of poly(ethylene oxide)and poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PEO-PVDF)through a hot pressing technique.This structural design provides complementary functions:the flexible outer layers confine lithium deposition within a restricted area,while the robust interlayer prevents lithium dendrite penetration.Additionally,the incorporation of LiNO_(3) significantly enhances the stability of the CSE/Li interface by gradually forming a Li_(3)N-rich interfacial film,which promotes uniform lithium deposition.Consequently,the assembled Li||Li symmetrical cell demonstrates stable cycling for over 6000 h at a current density of 0.2 mA cm^(–2)with an areal capacity of 1.2 mAh cm^(–2).More attractively,ASSLBs constructed with the designed CSEs,high mass loading LFP/NCM811(LFP:LiFePO_(4);NCM811:LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)O_(2))cathodes(≥12 mg cm^(–2)),and lithium metal anodes deliver superior cycling performance without short-circuiting at current densities of 0.3/0.2 mA cm^(–2),respectively.This work offers critical insights for the design of high-performance ASSLBs with improved durability at high areal capacities.
