The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is sensitive to thermally driven magnetic excitations in magnetic insulators. Vanadium dioxide in its insulating low-temperature phase is expected to lack magnetic degrees of freedom, as vanadium atoms are thought to form singlets upon dimerization of the vanadium chains. Instead, we find a paramagnetic SSE response in VO2 films that grows as the temperature decreases below 50 K. The field and temperature-dependent SSE voltage is qualitatively consistent with a general model of paramagnetic SSE response and inconsistent with triplet spin transport. Quantitative estimates find a spin Seebeck coefficient comparable in magnitude to that observed in strongly magnetic materials. The microscopic nature of the magnetic excitations in VO2 requires further examination.

While speed improvements are pivotal for advancing modern transistor technologies and ensuring faster computational performance, the tradeoffs with other critical electrical properties, such as threshold voltage ( $V_{T}$ ) and off-current ( $I_{OFF}$ ), are often overlooked. These tradeoffs can significantly impact the overall device performance. The design of vertically stacked n-type and p-type nanosheet FETs (NSFETs) was applied using a dynamic surrogate optimization-gaussian process regression (DSO-GPR) with batch assessment and halting conditions. A vertically stacked silicon-based system is created and refined. Source extension ( $S_{ext}$ ), drain extension ( $D_{ex\mathrm {t}}$ ), gate length ( $L_{g}$ ), nanosheet height (NSh), nanosheet width (NSw), and number of fin (nfin) make up the input variables. In addition to applying normalization to make the weight assignment to the goal functions easier, a penalty component was incorporated to manage the $V_{T}$ . This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the DSO-GPR framework in optimizing NSFET-based inverter designs by balancing speed, $I_{OFF}$ and $V_{T}$ . Among the three evaluated cases, case 1 achieved the fastest propagation delay (1.05 ps) due to higher $I_{ON}$ and lower $V_{T}$ , albeit with increased $I_{OFF}$ and $V_{T}$ mismatch. Case 2 provided a balanced trade-off, significantly reducing $I_{OFF}$ while maintaining a competitive delay of 1.25 ps and achieving $V_{T}$ matching at 0.11 V for both n-type and p-type NSFETs. The optimum parameters for n-type are ${L} _{g}$ = 5 nm, $N_{Sh} = 9$ nm, $N_{Sw} = 42$ nm, $S_{ext} = 3$ nm and $D_{ext} = 4$ nm, nfin = 5; for p-type, $L_{g} = 7$ nm, $N_{Sh} = 10$ nm, $N_{Sw} = 42$ nm, $S_{ext} = 3$ nm and $D_{ext} = 3$ nm, nfin = 5. Case 3 minimized leakage at the cost of delay, highlighting the trade-off between power and performance. These results validate the framework’s adaptability and automation, with performance-based stopping criteria that balance

The demand for sustainable, high-performance materials has led to increased interest in bio-based composites. However, optimizing the mechanical properties of such materials for engineering applications remains a challenge. This study addresses this gap by developing and characterizing an epoxy-based biocomposite reinforced with sugarcane bagasse particles, focusing on the influence of cyclic thermal treatment on its properties. The bagasse particles were chemically treated with 1 M NaOH to remove impurities, improve interfacial bonding with the epoxy matrix, and enhance the overall composite performance. The treated particles j were pulverized to 470 µm and incorporated into the epoxy matrix (0–20 wt%) using the hand layup method. The composites were divided into untreated and thermally treated groups, with the latter subjected to cyclic thermal treatment (100 °C for 3 h over 7 days). Mechanical, wear, and water absorption properties were evaluated, while fractured surface morphologies were analyzed using SEM. Results revealed that cyclic thermal treatment significantly enhanced the composites’ performance, with the 15 wt% heat-treated composite showing optimal properties: density of 1.102 g/cm3, flexural strength of 29.13 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 103.50 MPa, impact strength of 3.49 kJ/m2, hardness of 64.70 HS, and wear indices of 0.034 mg. These findings demonstrate that alkali treatment and cyclic thermal treatment synergistically enhance the performance of bio-composites, making them suitable for diverse applications, including automotive, aerospace, and other engineering fields.
