We report the formation mechanism of a unique pattern observed in ac-driven electroconvection of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs), in which many well-organized grid cells are very regularly aggregated in a two-dimensional plane, globally forming a nearly perfect grid pattern (GP). Intuitively, the formation of such a pattern is unpredictable; usually, the perfectly regular normal roll (NR) showing a preferred roll direction is observed in this system by imposing a fixed initial direction of an NLC. The GP was investigated by varying the ac voltage and frequency. To characterize the GP, the density ρGP, the width a and length b of the grids, and the oscillation period TGP of an inner optical pattern of the grids were measured; moreover, the lengths L¯x and L¯y characterizing phase-jump lines (PJLs) in the GP were examined. By taking into account the process of evolution from a fluctuating NR with defects to the GP, the velocity and director fields of the GP are estimated. Furthermore, in comparison with the bimodal mechanism proposed in the earlier study, a possible mechanism for the GP formed by the PJLs is discussed; various routes to GPs depending on the ac frequency are proposed.

A Josephson junction (JJ) based on high critical-temperature superconductors described by a linear resistive–capacitive–inductance shunted junction (LRCLSJ) model with unharmonic current-phase relation (UCPR) is theoretically and experimentally investigated in this paper. The numerical simulations indicate that JJ based on high critical-temperature superconductors exhibits excitable mode, regular spiking, periodic bursting, relaxation oscillations, chaotic attractors, and coexisting attractors. The theoretical investigations are verified experimentally through the microcontroller implementation. In addition, the coexistence between chaotic and limit cycle attractors found in JJ based on high critical-temperature superconductors is controlled to the desired trajectory using the linear augmentation control method. Finally, analytical calculations and numerical simulations are carried out to show the serviceableness of the two designed single controllers in suppressing chaos in JJ based on high critical-temperature superconductors.

In this paper, we analyze Shared Send Mixers (SSMs) within Cardano's Extended Unspent Transaction Output (EUTXO) model, presenting significant contributions to the understanding of UTXO-based blockchains. Firstly, we define the EUTXO SSM untangling problem and propose an algorithm to address it, along with providing an open-source implementation of the solution. Utilizing real transaction examples, we formulate and solve this problem in a systematic manner, shedding light on the intricacies of coin circulation within the Cardano blockchain. Through our analysis, we reveal insights into the usage of SSMs, including statistics on their frequency and effectiveness in untangling transactions. With this method, our findings show that 11% of transactions—as per the method—seem to involve SSMs, 83% of which enable unique untangling. Moreover, we discuss the potential application of our algorithm in enhancing address clustering results of transaction-level heuristics. Overall, our work contributes to a deeper understanding of transactional dynamics within UTXO cryptocurrencies, particularly within the context of Cardano's EUTXO model.

The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface exhibits gate-tunable superconductivity with a domelike shape of TC as a function of electron concentration. Here, we propose that the experimentally observed behavior can be explained as a direct effect of the dominant extended s−wave symmetry of the superconducting gap. Our results agree very well with the experimental data. As shown, neither the correlation effects nor the spin-orbit coupling significantly influence the physical picture of the paired state stemming from our analysis.
