Reaction‐Time pH Stabilization by Poly(acrylic acid) with Ethanol‐Mediated Growth Control for Efficient Hydrothermal Sb2(S,Se)3 Solar Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Poly(acrylic acid) acts as a reaction‐time pH buffer during hydrothermal Sb2(S,Se)3 growth through its COOH/COO‐ equilibrium. When combined with ethanol‐regulated growth, this buffering strategy reduces Sb‐O related surface disorder, improves local electronic uniformity and carrier collection, and increases the champion solar‐cell efficiency to 10.25%,

A Distributed Simulated Annealing framework for Engineering Optimization

, 2003
Engineering optimization problems are known to be difficult to solve using mathematical programming techniques because of large search spaces, complex objective and constraint functions, and, in many cases, their combinatorial nature.

Role of Structural Disorder on Phonon Transport and Thermal Conductivity in Li6PS5Br

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solid electrolytes are fast ion and slow heat conductors. Although both transport properties are governed by lattice dynamics and atomic structure, their interplay remains poorly understood. Here, we study this interrelation in anion‐ordered and disordered Li6PS5Br.

Learning General CP-nets Using Simulated Annealing

Proceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference
Preferences are a primary manner in which decisions are made and there are many methods of representing preference relations over combinatorial domains, we find that conditional preference networks (CP-nets) provide an interesting combination of ...

Solving the capacitated vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands applying the simulated annealing algorithm

Programación Matemática y Software, 2014
A new hybrid algorithm for solving the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) with stochastic demands is proposed. This new approach combines the simulated annealing (SA) with the savings algorithms and is implemented to obtain results of several ...

Investigating Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem Using Clustered Simulated Annealing Algorithm

Mathematics
The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) has a wide range of applications in logistics and transportation. Current metaheuristics typically rely on manually added constraints. A hyper-heuristic framework can reduce the dependency on domain-specific

Beyond Thin Film Limits—Superhard and Hydrogen‐Free Amorphous Carbon Coatings With Over 100 µm Thickness

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
For the first time, an extreme‐thick laser‐arc PVD ta‐C (DLC) coating exceeding 100 µm is demonstrated, opening up new possibilities for ultra‐high load bearing capacity. This superhard amorphous carbon architecture combines >50% sp3 bonding, robust adhesion and self‐supporting performance, shielding substrates from plastic flow under extreme contact ...

Unexpected Asymmetric Mn‐Sb Site Mixing and Reentrant Spin‐Glass State of MnSb2Te4

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MnSb2Te4 is an intrinsic magnetic topological insulator. Its properties are extraordinarily sensitive to tiny defects, making structural studies essential for understanding how magnetism and topology work together. This work shows that Mn can be unevenly distributed within the crystal and how that disorder is linked to a newly reported spin‐glass state

Configuration‐Encoded Cell Alignment by Light‐Gated Silicon Photovoltaic Microcell Arrays

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐gated silicon photovoltaic microcells convert pulsed illumination into localized electrical cues. Arranging otherwise similar microcells into four‐lobed, six‐lobed, or circular patterns directs fibroblasts into corresponding local arrangements without wired stimulation.
