AI‐Optimized Vanadium Oxide Multilayers for More Than 20‐fold Enhancement in Bolometric Performance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning‐optimized WxV1‐xOy multilayer thin films with graded doping achieve a high TCR (7.3 % K−1), reduced hysteresis, and low noise under CMOS‐compatible growth conditions. This approach overcomes the long‐standing trade‐off in microbolometers between linear response and performance, offering a universal bolometric parameter greatly enhanced

Thermoelectric effect in altermagnet-superconductor junctions

Physical Review B
We propose altermagnet-superconductor junctions as a way to achieve a thermoelectric response in metals free of external or stray magnetic fields. We combine qualitative analysis in a simplified model with a more rigorous approach based on the inverse proximity effect in the functional-integral formulation.
