Three-dimensional topological solitons attract a great deal of interest in fields ranging from particle physics to cosmology, but remain experimentally elusive in solid-state magnets. Here we numerically predict magnetic heliknotons, an embodiment of such nonzero-Hopf-index solitons localized in all spatial dimensions while embedded in a helical or conical background of chiral magnets. We describe conditions under which heliknotons emerge as metastable or ground-state localized nonsingular structures with fascinating knots of magnetization field in widely studied materials. We demonstrate magnetic control of three-dimensional spatial positions of such solitons, as well as show how they interact to form moleculelike clusters and possibly even crystalline phases comprising three-dimensional lattices of such solitons with both orientational and positional order. Finally, we discuss both fundamental importance and potential technological utility of magnetic heliknotons.

There have been many studies conducted related to Smart City, IT Governance and Big Data. In this study aims to find out how the relationship between the three and how to form a framework to explain it. The methodology used is qualitative by looking for some literature on smart city framework, IT Governance framework, and a Big Data framework. From these results, an overall picture of the relationship between the three is concluded, where Big Data has a role in IT Governance. and also the relationship of IT Governance to the realization of Smart City. And the final results of this study produce a framework to explain the relationship between Smart City, IT Governance and Big Data.

We report epitaxial growth of vanadium diselenide (VSe2) thin films in the octahedrally coordinated (1T) structure on GaAs(111)B substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Film thickness from a single monolayer (ML) up to 30 ML is demonstrated. Structural and chemical studies using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicate high-quality thin films. Further studies show that monolayer VSe2 films on GaAs are not air stable and are susceptible to oxidation within a matter of hours, which indicates that a protective capping layer should be employed for device applications. This work demonstrates that VSe2, a candidate van der Waals material for possible spintronic and electronic applications, can be integrated with III-V semiconductors via epitaxial growth for two- and three-dimensional hybrid devices.

Acoustic metalenses have been pursued over the past decades due to their pivotal role in a wide variety of applications. Recent research efforts have demonstrated that, at ultrasonic regimes, acoustic levitation can be realized with standing waves, which are created by the interference between incoming and reflected focused waves. However, the conventional gradient-metasurface approach to focus ultrasonic waves is complex, leading to poor scalability. In this work, we propose a design principle for ultrasonic metalenses, based on metagratings—arrays of discrete scatters with coarser features than gradient metasurfaces. We achieve beam focusing by locally controlling the excitation of a single diffraction order with the use of metagratings, with geometry adiabatically varying over the lens aperture. We show that our metalens can effectively focus impinging ultrasonic waves to a focal point with a full width at half maximum of 0.364 of the wavelength. The focusing performance of the metalens is demonstrated experimentally, validating our proposed approach. This metagrating approach to focusing can be adopted for different operating frequencies by scaling the size of the structure, which has coarse features suitable for high-frequency designs, with potential applications ranging from biomedical science to nondestructive testing.

Nutritional food is the most important aspect for people to fulfil their daily needs, but nowadays, the change of lifestyle can affect the style of food consumption, for instance leaving food when they take a meal. Besides, food leftover causes loss of consumed nutrients. We took an observation in a canteen in Faculty of Agricultural Technology in University of Brawijaya produces lost of food about 1,142.5 gram per day. To prevent the amount of food waste, this paper proposes an early stage framework to create an automatic leftover estimation method using image segmentation based on color channel. So that, we can optimize of the amount of food served and avoid loss food nutritions hereinafter. We experimented in two types of background of tray box: black and gray, then an automatic cropping process based on each sub area of tray box is implemented. Each part of them contains an item of food, so we detect the area using color channel segmentation and implements B component in LAB color space. After getting the main area of food, then two areas between segmented food image are compared before and after being consumed. The calculation of the predicted leftover portion is calculated based on original weight of food item. The result shows that tray box with black background with constant (cd) is the best to project leftover, in which reaches 2.37 of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). It proves that the propose method is sufficient to handle the leftover prediction of food.
