Polarity Inversion in Polar-Nonpolar-Polar Heterostructures [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2001
We have observed an epilayer-thickness-dependent polarity inversion for the growth of CdTe on Sb(Bi)/CdTe(111)B. For films with Sb(Bi) thicknesses of less than 40 A (15 A), the CdTe layer shows a B (Te-terminated) face, but it switches to an A (Cd-terminated) face for thicker layers.

Two-Dimensional Quasi-Periodic Diffraction Properties of the Scalar and Vector Optical Fields

open access: yesPhotonics, 2023
As is known, quasi-periodicity attracts great attention in many scientific regions. For instance, the discovery of the quasicrystal was rewarded the Nobel Prize in 2011, leading to a series of its applications.

Multi-band spin-selective transmission and reflection in bi-layer T-shaped metamaterial

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2023
The control of the spin angular momentum of light plays an irreplaceable role in modern photon applications. In this work, we proposed a chiral metamaterial based on a bi-layer T-shaped structure.

Phase encoded quantum key distribution up to 380 km in standard telecom grade fiber enabled by baseline error optimization

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Phase encoding in quantum key distribution (QKD) enables long-distance information-theoretic secure communication in optical fibers. We present a novel theoretical model characterizing errors from various sources in practical phase encoding-based QKD ...

Manipulating Transverse Spin Angular Momentum with Symmetrically Modulated Hybridly Polarized Vector Optical Field

open access: yesPhotonics, 2022
Transverse spin angular momentum (SAM) of photon, also known as ‘photonic wheel’, has attracted much attention, owing to its extraordinary properties and broad application prospect. Thus, it is essential to flexibly manipulate the transverse SAM in order

Non-Markovian speedup evolution of a center massive particle in two-dimensional environmental model

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
A two-dimensional ray model is introduced to realize the non-Markovian speedup evolution of a center massive particle gravitationally coupled to a controllable environment (multilayer arrangement of the massive particles). By controlling the environment,

Polar shapelets [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005
The shapelets method for image analysis is based upon the decomposition of localised objects into a series of orthogonal components with convenient mathematical properties. We extend the "Cartesian shapelet" formalism from earlier work, and construct "polar shapelet" basis functions that separate an image into components with explicit rotational ...

Simulated Studies of Polarization-Selectivity Multi-Band Perfect Absorber Based on Elliptical Metamaterial with Filtering and Sensing Effect

open access: yesPhotonics, 2023
In this work, the Ag-SiO2-Ag metamaterial with elliptical nano-slits was proposed to investigate the multi-band polarization-dependent perfect absorber.

Political polarization [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Failures of government policies often provoke opposite reactions from citizens; some call for a reversal of the policy, whereas others favor its continuation in stronger form. We offer an explanation of such polarization, based on a natural bimodality of preferences in political and economic contexts and consistent with Bayesian rationality.
